Heres a list of members who have linked to my shoutbox....sadly, how many have left


9mmruger1, aditek, Alien13, alkohol, arniebear, Auslander, azzidrain, borhan9, Bubba1982, creaky, DakotaFan, drnknja, fasfrank, Flashin, flip218, gamename, GlueEater, gurnard, herbsman, info10456, Lethal_B, libenja, lilghost, LOCOENG, MaxBurn, Nephilim, Nerve5, onya, Phantom69, ScubaBud, Starrift, svar91, theridges

Not forgetting gear79 who's not in the list

Some of these members were NOT my buddies but a hell of a lot were.
dont forget the great kivory666/docTY.
its a shame, and i dont know why or what happened but i just talked with ken, said he will no longer visit AD.just said he was tired of things around here and he was moving on....
like LOCO said people move on to differnet things, this is unavoidable, but damn the good ones keep getting shoved out the door...

probably not the right thread to post this, maybe the bitch thread but it seems to go hand in hand...

@cincyrob ... Lord, I couldn't agree with your more. There was a lot of unnecessary arguing and hostility in the safety valve. Whether in person or online, it really gets people rattled when there is argument and hostility going on all around them. The easiest way to deal with it is to simply leave the room.

Edit: I shouldn't speak my mind if it doesn't contribute to anything positive.

Kinzie will only take 1 step,and then fall down, LOL. She'll pull herself up and walk if she's got something to lean against. She's also got 3 teeth coming in on top,all at the same time, so not very much quiet time around here.

I've been putting up a 11' x 14' metal shed since sunday. It's one of those projects that says 2 people can build it in 1 day, LMAO!!!

It's day 3 now,and just got the roof put on.

We planned ours two years apart, so for eight years it was bedlam, and as for surprises......my/our last came un-announced some years later. He knocked on that door long and hard till we let him in... lol

When it comes to moments like watching their first steps and all the other precious moments. Don't not be there buddy, the children are the cake so don't miss out on the Iceing!

As for yor 11' X 14', it's nice to know your doing secret mens business 'an stuff. ROFL.

Cheers.

Yes its very unnecessary Gerry like this comment posted towards me

aabbccdd banned? My congratulations to whoever did it.
I mean why would he (Ripper made the post) even care lol

but thats par for the course around here with the Kiddieland Klan. Statements like that continue to prove there 14 years old.

then everyone wonders why alot of the aDas have moved on or left.

getting rid of the SV would be fine with me or at least most the threads it causes to many problems.

Hey abcd,
Welcome back. Arguments go on everwhere around AD. I suspect if you close the SV more would crop up elsewhere. AD also has all those console forums where things get out of hand. I don't browse the SV looking for arguments, so I'm really not on top of everything that's happening. Are arguments in the SV that prolific?

Heyyyy abbbcccddd!

Well, just so happens you may be talking a bit about my good friend ripper there...who is consequently...wel..whatdya know, only a few months younger than me.

So...you know i could take a lil bit of offense from "Kiddleland Klan" which sounded like it (tho no where near witty, clever or in any way offensive) seems to derive from some stereotypes within you. Therefore, by deducing this limited info and my assumptions, ive come to the conclusion that




If im wrong, im sorry.

Thanks ireland!![afterdawn legend]

@aabbccdd...Wecome back guy! I disagree with you about the safety valve; sometimes we have such a great time and lately, though slower, things have been so much better. Some people just need to keep their damned mouths shut if they have nothing good to say.

@Billyboy...14/15 year olds are, in many respects, no different than the old farts; some are great people some are a$$holes.

Behave billy or I'll have to get a fresh batch of trout LOL!

AND WITH THAT STATEMENT YOUR PROVING MY POINT. if you Kids are going to dish it out your gonna have to suck it up and TAKE it too bro!!


theres a few that WILL NOT be back and the post like the one above is part/one of the reasons why.

QUOTE vvvvvvvv

the word it out,that afterdawn is a children site..that is why most if not all left afterdawn.

and this quote is from an OUTSTANDING member that has left

if this keeps snowballing all we will have is the Kiddieland Klan left

so maybe you younger guys should stop and Think before you post invalid/stupid statements or maybe its something you won't/don't get or will not understand for another 20 or 30 years. in the mean time this place is going down the drain

thanks everyone for the warm weclome back,greetings all

I can't remember where that came from but it applies to many situations and across many continents. :D

I think a BIG dose of MATURITY and APPLIED UNDERSTANDING would go a long way in many situations that arise here at AD.

Enough from me before I actually PISS someone off!! ;)

That's a British expression.

Well, thigs have been going quite well here lately...a little slower but fun and even respectfull serious and I think we'd all like to heep it that way.

@aabbccdd ... you're right, many have left because of smart mouth kids, many in the console forums and, to a lesser degree, here in the safety valve but so too, some of the departures in recent months have been "adults" but by definition only. Among the recent departures and despite their impressive knowledge on their fields, some of the most abrasive people I've seen since joining AD in 2003 were "adults". We've had countless newbs who VERY politely asked admittedly stupid questions (like I did initially) only to be verbally assulted and in a very severe manner, I might ad and I can't tell you how often I've seen this happen. We do complain and regret that so many good members have left us but I would gladly wager that we lost two or three times the number of newbs who would have been outstanding members who got, essentially, abused and called stupid idiots. I initially came because I couldn't figure out how to rewrite a nonrewritable DVD! Talk about stupid LOL! But I never would have returned if I'd been treated that way.

My point is that it simply depends on the kid just as it does with the obnoxtious (sp?) adult. I know that billyboy is a great kid; maybe he needs to control his temper a bit but I've never seen him start it (Except when he first joined a couple of years ago and told some guy to go kill himself and got banned for a couple of weeks ...thought I'd forgotten, huh? LOL) but he's been great since.

gerry1 try this.... :P link

cincyrob you have in some way pissed yourself off because you can't except the fact that an idiot would design a PAR 4 hole 600 + yards long. LOL. Just except the fact that things like that happen and go on your merry way. :P btw I need a good fishing trip, YOU READY???? I got the food you bring the BEER. :D

aabbccdd you have marked a new segment of the AD crowd. LOL. THE DOUBLE K. LOL. KK. You know you could add another K in there but that's already taken by another group of people, well I think they're people. :P Krazy Kiddieland Klan. OOoooops I said it. hehehe.

FUNNY/JOKE/HUMOROUS people, so spare the attacks. :P

....gm

BTW where's ireland when you need a good pic for the situation. hahaha. ireland you there??? Send me a pic!! :D
