Wow, someone with a sense of humor; and a dry one at that! Gratz.
Take it easy, I was just stating a fact...

this thread is doing exactly what i designed it for.

no wonder why people are leaving..
Grow up ireland. I was simply stating that this thread no longer has a topic and people are posting random crap, which is true. And the trend is spreading all over the forums.
You seemed to take it offensively. Why, I don't know, seeing as I didn't mention your name.
When did I say I was "chief cook and bottle washer"? You should have seen enough of my posts in the past to know that moderating and chucking my weight about isn't something I do nor care to do. But sometimes, if I want to say something, I will say it.
Sorry if you took it the wrong way.

Nah my friend. I have scarcely been on the internet in '07. I don't really listen to a lot of rap these days, I'm more into dance / funky house :-).

That seems to be a common thing here at AD anymore, it's time to get this site back in shape.

I really hate to see this sort of thing. I always thought this thread was fun though precisely for that reason. Keeping threads focused is one thing but this thread is fun because it needn't be focused...it did start as a bitch thread about the site but turned into a bitch thread in general .... be the bitches real or imagined, its fun. There's nothing wrong with a little play.

Hi Gerry :)
I didn't say there was anything wrong with a little fun.
But afterdawn today isn't a patch on its former self. I have been pissed off ( along with many other longer-serving members ) for a long while.. and I am entitled to my opinion. People don't have to like it and can choose to ignore me if they want. Many of those same people are ignoring the problem with the forums.
I have seen, for example, seniors & addicts winding up the mods -- who dedicate a large quantity of their spare time to try and make this site better for everyone. Back when I joined, the only ones who gave the mods any aggro were newbies who had come to this site solely to piss people off. The seniors, when I was one, were on the same level as the mods and were respected and trusted by the mods. None of us would dare give them any hassle. Where has the respect for the moderators gone? It doesn't apply to most but too many are taking the mick.
The safety valve is fun, and I am in no position to tell people what they can and cannot do. But I don't see why we can't have organized fun. When people drag threads off topic, safety valve or not, the mods tend to close them. People are entitled to have fun and do whatever in here, but I just can't grasp why it can't over a subject rather than just "chat".. what do you think the shoutboxes are for?
This is the bitch thread, and that's what I am doing. I am back, to post news and guides and enjoy doing my job. But I have fallen out of favour with the forums bigtime. I have tried changing with the forum, but the surroundings are different. Gone are the days when I used to look up to respected members and learn things. Now we have some afterdawn addicts & seniors who wind up the mods, post lots of useless crap and genuinely don't contribute much.
Back in October 2005 I used to spend lots of time helping out, especially in the iPod forums. But then mid-2006 I had (Senior) members posting useless crap and misleading iPod users, then when I tried to amend their faults, they wanted an argument. People never used to do that when I joined..

members Senior Member and AfterDawn Addict who were made per the Safety valve posts are the one that now are causing the problem..
also its a mods job to take care of this site..do you see any admin policing the site..
i got e-mail from mods and members who do not want to be here anymore..
thoses mods not want to give up there Moderator job..because of all the hard work getting there.
if i were to post what there e-mail said..every-bodys ears would burn..
side note: my take on this...a person is not grown up until as least 30 years old,and seen the world and live through hard facts of life.to make judgments calls on other people..
yes Lethal_B i am grown up twice over..getting close to three..

No I don't. Your point being..?

Same here, that's why I said my piece.

Don't patronise me! you think because I'm young that my judgement couldn't possibly be any better than anybody elses? I am entitled to my opinion. You can knock me all that you want, but at least I make some sense...........................

I'm not here to argue. I've had my bitch / said my piece. I will leave you to it and get back to what I enjoy doing the most. Keeping people informed and helping them learn....

Nice try, but I can read you like a book.
By ridiculously stating that you need to be "over 30" to make a decent judgement, you patronised me. You didn't need to directly address me to give a response. Nice try though.
Your age is much greater than mine, sure. But your spelling, grammar & attitude suggest otherwise.
It's clear to see that you haven't left, so maybe you just told people you left for a little attention?
I was considered mature enough to have been hand-picked over 100's for this job, so that's good enough for me.
Your opinion to me means nothing, especially when half the time, it doesn't make sense.
People can say that I have spoiled the mood etc.. well, that's tough. I had an issue, I have made my feelings known, and I have nothing more to say on the matter.
If anyone has any issues with what I have said, they can PM me.

Yikes! A fight! :p
Nothing to complain about today, at least for the time being.
My butt hurt real bad yesterday from ice skating (1st time and its not as much like roller blading as I thought it would be.) as I fell like 5 times in the space of an hour.
Oh well, it was fun and nice to do something a little different.
Peace

I've no personal issues with ireland or anyone, but maybe if you had been here and seen the deterioration of the forum then maybe you'd see where I'm coming from. The first month I was here was the tail-end of the "good-old" days & that's what I, ireland, and a lot of other old members miss.

Pop_smith is skinny and can probably use the butt cushion. Since I've quit smoking though, I seem to be adding some extra padding and it ain't foam or feathers.

Its true.

This, too, is true. I could use a butt cushion and will probably wear one next time I go ;) Also, smoking does cause you to loose weight (although its obviously not a healthy way to loose weight) and, as you are experiencing quitting does cause a small, mostly temporary, weight gain.
EDIT: fixed tags, I used the wrong one instead of "[quote]", lol.

this site has always been great for me. ever since i got me a copy of xcopy express, i subscribed to the weekly letter and have found every answer to every problem i've had. i don't post too much (until lately) but the greatness of this site is the willingness of everybody to help anybody. even when a retard is looking for trouble there's always good people trying to warn about the lightning... lol
it's still a great place, only with a much greater public, so i think it's up to each one to keep it the way we want it.
love you all
''' and that's my bitch.

Okay, a staff member and a moderator arguing in an open forum? I have respect for both of you, Ireland and Lethal_B, but this isn't the place for a personal argument, isn't that why they created the PM?
Safety valve, isn't this a place to let off steam and let fly what flies? Heck, if you don't want to get covered in manure, stay away from the farm animals.
I agree with Gerry1, let this thread run as it may, just chill on the personal attacks in public.

thought that posts here don't count towards title?
Let's once and for all get rid of the title monkey and replace it with member since date one joined.
Let the moderators keep their titles, pick a handfull of seniors who really contribute like Kivory666, Blinkie07, Gwen, Alkohol, Arniebear, The_Fiend, and others who have demonstrated mastery of a particular thread and give them a title of Guru or something. Okay, that was my bitch, now back to the real bitching and rants and ravings.

@blivetNC, posts made here do not count toward member "level" you are correct.
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/324494
Its been that way sense April of 2006 (according to that post).

I agree with that, many people do and many people don't (this forum is huge after all). Its probably not going to happen though, unfortunately.
