Good morning

[DILLIGAF]

You keep poking me and I am probably going to say something that gets me banned.
Then it will be just you and Cristy.
Maybe if I say something really politically incorrect i can get some of the lurkers to come out of the dark shadows.

I miss the Lurkers and the Jerkers

Most of all I miss the Burro

 

[DILLIGAF]

There are quite a few that I miss some of whom will never come back sadly but some are still out there but I don't know if they are lurking.
I wish the mods would put that line at the bottom to show who is logged on.
At least then you would know that people are at least alive.
Who the hell is the Burro???

DILLIGAF

 

[papasmerf]

Bob's Burro

 

[DILLIGAF]

OK you mean MM!

DILLIGAF

 

[papasmerf]

LOL

No but close

I do miss that whole group.
Good people all willing to self deprecate for the amusement of others.

Over the years many folks in and out of that thread. Most were always welcome.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Ya I agree with you on the many people in and out.
Some very interesting folks
I even met some outside of the board and have built some long lasting friendships
I really must say I hate the keyboard warriors and unfortunately lack of mod action cost some members
Its just really sad that we have had such a mass exodus on this board.
I came from another board and was brought into this one by a member who has since left because it was such a great board.
It still is a good board just very quiet.

What happened here in my absence?

 

[DILLIGAF]

I am not really sure what happened!
I saw some people logged on that I personally stopped posting cuz they were present. I don't know if they are still members or not but I get very nervous when I see them on the site.
I believe the board changed hands again and I have heard rumours as to the new ownership and that was at the same time as the last big exodus but again I am not sure.
I saw some really bad flame wars between some members that in my opinion should have been stopped by a mod but I again don't think at that time we had any mods. Still not sure on that point. LOL
Other than that POOF!! everyone disappeared.

There used to be a way to report threads and that would usually get quick action.

WTF happened.

We were once the Gold Standard.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Well like I said I am not quite sure on all of the things that happened but I personally know some of it.
And I also witnessed some of the other crap.
Big Guy sold to some people that brought in the Toxic zone and that blew up real quick!
They then sold to what I believe are the present owners.
Each sale cost membership.
Changes to the platform without letting member know (shit there ain't a lot left) caused people to wander to other boards.
What your left with is a board like you said that was the Gold Standard but now it seems to be Gold Dust.
If it does not pick up even the review section is going to be a ghost town.

[papasmerf]

It would be a travesty to not restore this board.
It was the one board that did not have agendas or was beholding to businesses.

The Mods were fair and seemed to have the ability to run the board.
People seemed to like that atmosphere.

I do remember one member who outed herself as a Mod going over the edge and promptly was removed.
That is about the most drama I recall.
Well other than MM and mine good natured assassination attempts.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Well I gotta stay silent on the rest.
Perhaps a lurker or an admin could shed some light on the agenda going forward.
Maybe that would bring some people back!

DILLIGAF

 

[papasmerf]

There are always PMs

 

[DILLIGAF]

Well I gotta jet now and go look at some web sites for my xmas present to myself.
or as Cristy would say I am going pie shopping. LMAO!!!

DILLIGAF

 

[DILLIGAF]

pm to who????

DILLIGAF

 

[papasmerf]

Me who else

 

[DILLIGAF]

I will keep that in mind! LOL
perhaps an admin could join in on one our morning conversations.
Shit maybe even MISS HUBGFE!!!!

DILLIGAF

 

[papasmerf]
