"Sometimes there are some of us who start a thread or post a comment on a current thread that doesn't seem to go down well with other forumites. That event eventually leads to "Fabacide". It happens in other forums on other sites too I'm sure. Have you ever done it and have you ever fully recovered? How did you bounce back? "very new to forums lol please explain  | |||

Have you then?"Negative lol | |||
"there are a little forum mafia. who like to blank new forum users. sometimes you will see a thread thats going well. a newby will add a comment then the rest leave the thread or gang up and put them down . i just find it very funny," I've not seen that as such | |||

"there are a little forum mafia. who like to blank new forum users. sometimes you will see a thread thats going well. a newby will add a comment then the rest leave the thread or gang up and put them down . i just find it very funny," I can't comment on that but I am on forums for interests away from fab and you do get some groups like that everywhere so doesn't bother me that much | |||

"To me Fabacide is really just getting on the wrong side of the majority of forumites on that thread at the time. It happens, I think I have been close to it a few times, just on the cusp of it, but someone always seems to reel me back in "hahahah atleast you got reeled back in  | |||
sometimes things on here get very heated and its hard not to comment on something that you're passionate about, although I'm learning to bite my tongue  | |||

"I ask this because in social media opinions are often open and varied. Fab is just another medium. Certain statements or ideas may not always agree with the majority and sometimes things are said to create shock value. Tweets or FB status' may carry this too, often it can cause controversy and ruin the reputation of an individual. Which sometimes isn't their intention and sometimes (especially those in the public eye) require PR help. As the fab forums are a smaller venue, I just wondered how people handled a situation like that in that context." It can't be compared. We are mostly anonymous. | |||

"there's like 50 people use the forums and a few pop in then fuck off for good. no such thing as fabicide." Agreed. There are some, usually the ones who block you for expressing an opinion that differs from theirs, who think you'll never get a Fab related shag if you commit so-called "fabicide". I have not had sex with anyone that uses the forums. I have with one or a few that don't though. As for "Forum Insurance"; I wipe my callipygian arse on the paper it's written on. | |||

I still don't see it as a big deal. If anyone says anything that bad that it's going to offend those they are "friends" with then maybe they are better off not being "friends"? | |||

"I see what you're driving at OP, its an interesting question along the lines of popularity and the 'hive mind' of the forums. A portion of the forums dont really care what the group consensus is and usually seek to subvert that. Some people do care what others think of them, I think its very hard for the former to be judged by the latter in any meaningful sense, hence fabicide is just a phrase bandied around for forum gossip" | |||

Generally I find if you're polite and reasonable you can say pretty much what you like on here. It only seems to become a problem if you start to get abusive or annoyed. So, even if others are abusive and rude to you, remain polite and reasonable back and you'll have few problems. | |||

"i decided not to post threads no more, as a certain few like nothing better than picking a thread apart and creating nastiness and i decided a want no part of their negativeness, plus a high number for fear of the moderators maybe banning them decide its fine to send vile messages in private. so for my own self and happiness a decided to maybe follow threads and post comments in a positive way" If anyone is personally abusive to you, even in a private message, you should report them to admin. They will deal with any abuse. Don't hesitate. | |||
"fabicide.....lol i don't think it would matter to us, we are not that popular anyway" Same here... It's like we're invisible. | |||
"'Fabicide' for me is like the 'clique' term that's banded around so in general it's absolute bollox and means nothing. Using this term for me is an indication of almost forum snobbery, loads post shite on a daily basis, some more than others, some less popular than others ~ hence the 'fabicide'. " Yep, fabicide is for the forum elites that sit atop mount fablympus and shun eachother when they commit it. Being that most of my posts are ignored anyways, i wouldn't notice if i were to commit fabi kari under their steely gaze  | |||

"I'm sure I've said things that haven't gone down well. I'm sure I've said things that have. It's the nature of a group of people discussing many and sometimes emotive subjects. Can't say that I bother tracking my standing on the forums on some perceived scale of popularity though or going about trying to claw back favour after saying anything that didn't go down well. That's just odd." The word you're looking for is "sad!" | |||

"Sometimes there are some of us who start a thread or post a comment on a current thread that doesn't seem to go down well with other forumites. That event eventually leads to "Fabacide". It happens in other forums on other sites too I'm sure. Have you ever done it and have you ever fully recovered? How did you bounce back? "hehe me ,no never   | |||

"I know what you are getting at OP. However Fabicide is usually brought to the table by those who spout all that "popcorn" pulls up a chair bollocks. "
I almost posted about that similarity too. It's a style of posting I find cowardly and slightly pathetic, those posts are always designed to goad the OP and steer a thread in a particular direction with the subsequent contributions.

"I do love how everyone thinks. From the "who cares", to those that have opinions regarding the word and what it means to them. The OP was to elicit at least a response that was hopefully different from the usual monotonous topics. And the way people have answered reveals the tone in which way they response to a question whether relevant or not. It's interesting to see how people think. I don't really care about "fabicide", I've been banned, blocked and ignored on the forums. This is just a thread different from your usual "kiss, fuck, avoid" threads. You can either choose to ignore, post an opinion on the thought or topic, or say "who gives a shit". I'm not holding you back. I suppose with most things say away from insulting people because then that's pointless really (that's generally, not particular to this thread). Carry on... or don't. You can move along, there isn't anything to see here. "yes but in a nutshell you've described a forum hehe a load of people who think they are right ,they have an opinion , some successfully debate it others resort to insults but some employ humour ,we in forums are just the minority on this site so it matters not   | |||

I've been on and off these forums for over 7 years,despite there having been a change of people coming and going and the regulars changing cyclically,the comments about forum mafia and cliques have never been any different,yet the perceived people in those cliques can never been the same people,they were all newbies putting their first post up once | |||
OP, you seem a little put out by the way the threads gone but people have contributed from a variety of angles re the term 'fabicide'.
| |||
"Almost all forumites couldn't give a shit whether I post or not so nothing I say on the forums these days is of any consequence. Fabicide is a concept that is meaningless in the context of this site, in the sense that only those, that think the forum has any bearing on successfulness on the site, consider it important. The reality is it's bollocks" ..
Same here.. And if I did commit 'fabicide' I really wouldn't care as I won't arrange to meet forum users anyway..
What people think of me on here has no baring on my fab use or my life | |||
"I think people just have stand by profiles. Make a fool of themselves on one. Delete, carry on with other profile." That's an interesting thought process.... | |||
"there are a little forum mafia. who like to blank new forum users. sometimes you will see a thread thats going well. a newby will add a comment then the rest leave the thread or gang up and put them down . i just find it very funny, I've not seen that as such" Nope, nor me, and I've done a fair bit of forum-cruising in the 7 years we've been on here! I'm not sure where this "gang up" thing comes from, I think its highly unlikely that the regulars in here all pvt msg each other saying things like "Have you seen that post on the such'n'such thread, shall we attack it?" | |||
"I'm 55 years old with an opinion of my own. I've been on the site seven years and I still get people who say things like "that's not the first time you've said that" in an accusatory way, and the rest of the pack joins in. Do I give a fuck?!! Yeah...right!!! I can't abide suck ups/people that sit on the fence scared to stick their head above the parapet. There are people who's opinions I seldom agree with on certain issues but they state their opinion regardless of the backlash: they have my respect. I don't seek to be popular (gee how bereft of friends/a life must you be to actively want to be popular on an Internet sex site?!!), I comment on threads that interest me and ignore those that don't. There have been those that on occasion followed me around the forums making comments expecting some reaction from me, unable to ascertain their opinions mean diddly squat to me. "Fabacide" is simply not agreeing with the masses: they get over it!" .. | |||

"there are a little forum mafia. who like to blank new forum users. sometimes you will see a thread thats going well. a newby will add a comment then the rest leave the thread or gang up and put them down . i just find it very funny, I've not seen that as such Nope, nor me, and I've done a fair bit of forum-cruising in the 7 years we've been on here! I'm not sure where this "gang up" thing comes from, I think its highly unlikely that the regulars in here all pvt msg each other saying things like "Have you seen that post on the such'n'such thread, shall we attack it?" ".. But it does happen.. Intentional or not | |||

"To me Fabacide is really just getting on the wrong side of the majority of forumites on that thread at the time. It happens, I think I have been close to it a few times, just on the cusp of it, but someone always seems to reel me back in "Oh, I thought "Fabicide" was going UNLOS after getting slated in the forums! Well, then I must confess, by this new definition, I am A Fabicide survivor! (Looks round the circle of other FA (Fabicide Anonymous)attendees). Hi, my names Martin, and this is my first meeting. It's been....erm... well, I dunno when I last stormed into a thread, dropped my trousers and did a huge steaming pile of verbals, 'cos it happens so often! I'm an unrepentant truthsayer (well, my version of the truth lol), so there's a good chance I'm going to fall off the wagon any second now! | |||

But it does happen.. Intentional or not "I agree. I wouldn't think people PM each other to 'organise an attack' but i wouldn't dismiss the notion that people message and say 'check out thread XYZ in the lounge'.... | |||
"I'm sure I've said things that haven't gone down well. I'm sure I've said things that have. It's the nature of a group of people discussing many and sometimes emotive subjects. Can't say that I bother tracking my standing on the forums on some perceived scale of popularity though or going about trying to claw back favour after saying anything that didn't go down well. That's just odd." Amen brother | |||
"i decided not to post threads no more, as a certain few like nothing better than picking a thread apart and creating nastiness and i decided a want no part of their negativeness, plus a high number for fear of the moderators maybe banning them decide its fine to send vile messages in private. so for my own self and happiness a decided to maybe follow threads and post comments in a positive way" If someone sends you a shitty message off the back of a forum thread, you can copy n paste that to admin with a short description of what is going on, they take a dim view of that sort of thing. | |||

"I don't think I've ever started a thread that I've bothered too much about nor have I ever felt that ive commited some sort of forum faux pas if its been ignored,I've never used the fabicide comment which makes me cringe as much as the antagonistic popcorn and haribo comments Some threads roar along with loads of interest and some don't, it's not always the fault of the poster,I saw a thread revived the other day that had been ignored and then all of a sudden people started posting on it was popular,no rhyme or reason why It's only an internet forum,I find people take a huge chunk of life on here really seriously and personally too,then seem to always be huffy with everything they post
I've been on and off these forums for over 7 years,despite there having been a change of people coming and going and the regulars changing cyclically,the comments about forum mafia and cliques have never been any different,yet the perceived people in those cliques can never been the same people,they were all newbies putting their first post up once " | |||
" OP, you seem a little put out by the way the threads gone but people have contributed from a variety of angles re the term 'fabicide'. " That's the impression I have too. | |||

"'Fabicide' for me is like the 'clique' term that's banded around so in general it's absolute bollox and means nothing. Using this term for me is an indication of almost forum snobbery, loads post shite on a daily basis, some more than others, some less popular than others ~ hence the 'fabicide'. " It's often forum regulars who use the term Fabicide when a new poster starts a thread. It's usually a thread that doesn't involve their kind of approved topics,usually sexual. Then they talk about not being "vanilla" | |||

It's just my observation from what's been said that's all, my interpretation rightly or wrongly. Interesting thread though | |||
