There is a huge history, that goes back nearly 2 years between Flop Of The Pops [the original FOTP] and Vanity Edge - I understand that there's sometimes a need for that discussion to rage on, in a non-confrontational manner of course.

However, there is no reason whatsoever for Vanity Edge to be brought in to the Pop Daily / FOTP Forums war that seems to rage on. We kindly and unquestionably agreed to act as a "settling ground" for FOTP members whilst things got back to normal. A whole load of things then happened. None of this means we'll be the settling ground for the two forums to wage their war of insanity though. It isn't fair on the people that visit this site, to be subjected to it.

To address the discussion of quantity - any forum administrator with half a clue as to how to manage a forum will know that you cannot use total posts as a measure of how good a forum is - that's a rubbish [and lame] method of attracting stans. Equally, any decent forum administrator will not make excuses for how few posts their forum has - trust me, I know this more than anybody.

You two forums will never agree, and that's fine. Just please keep your war away from here, mmkay? All reports have been received and will be dealt with accordingly

Spawner said it best:


Seriously guys, I have no interest in this infantile tit-for-tat "discussion". Why not make a thread entitled "playground tantrums", transfer all of these posts to it and continue in there so the rest of us who have no interest in who-said-what or my-dad's-bigger-than-your-dad don't have to be subjected to it.

It's ridiculous, you all need to take a step back and look at yourselves. You're worse than five year olds.

I am not affiliated with either FOTP or Pop Daily and, quite frankly, the whole "war" is ridiculous. The internet is big enough to support both of your forums along with an incalculable amount of others so there's no need for you to ever "speak" to each other again. And certainly, as Wayne has said, you should stop using Vanity Edge as your battleground - the majority of posters on here couldn't give two figs whether you kiss and make up or put flaming dogsh*t parcels on each others' doorsteps. Personally it just p*sses me off to have to sift through your posts to find something I am interested in reading/discussing.

Wayne did a very honourable thing to help out when FOTP was hacked, many others wouldn't have, please stop abusing his kindness.
