    In fairness, it's early days. The real test will be how gul and Anc behave over the coming months and whether or not they listen to, discuss and respond to concerns without mockery and trolling. After all, they were certainly pretty righteous over your handling of issues and one of their biggest complaints was that you didn't listen and didn't act. We'll see just how fair they can be.

    Like I say, mockery. Very mature. I can see your board unifying actions in full flow.

    Mocking your not so subtle tolling? Absolutely. You've got more talent than this.

    Person with financial interest in property says it's for everyone...what a shocking development.

    Between Gul and Anc...this place will devolve into cannibalism within a month or two. I think that's half the reason Lanz sold to them...for the "lulz"

    It's not trolling I'm afraid. I'm not liking you attitude at all so far. Ask Anc. I already PM'd him to raise issue with it, which is a pretty sort of thing for me to do so you can't fall back on the tired dismissal of accusing anyone who says something you don't like to be a troll. No matter how much you want it to be the case.

    You think that you are suddenly exempt from the scrutiny you put the likes of Lanzman, Tamar and Clyde under?

    In my opinion a board owner and the admins should always give posters the benefit of the doubt and work with people to discuss concerns. This is what you wanted from the previous regimes. Why does it not now apply to you?

    If you wish I am happy to post this in the Help Desk if it forces you to actually take it seriously instead of assuming it's a troll. You're trying to be too clever and seem to think it's all about trolling and winning, when sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

    I'm still really curious as to why Tamar left. I'm not buying the given reason for a second. She either wanted the board or refused to work with the new management.

    Tamar didn't leave. She's dealing with real life stuff, which is making her less active, and she is no longer staff. That's all.

    Sounds good. Raise the issues, then. Who has been banned or warned? What decisions do you think we should reconsider? Such comments are welcome.

    Tamar hardly been posted. Same for Clyde. Maud nowhere to be seen at all.

    Coincidence? Maybe.

    Muad expressed concerns about Facebook integration prior to the switch over. Though such functionality has been disabled. Maybe he doesn't know?

    Done.

    What makes you think it's all just about warnings or bannings? If that's all you think running a board and bring it back to life is about then you're not suitable for the role.

    No, he isn't.

    I left exactly why I said I left. Surgery is postponed until I get cleared by a pulmonologist, but at the time I believed it was happening Oct 8. I have a lot of pain and fatigue right now and my ability to be consistant is not great.

    Am I thrilled about the Nuforge? Not really. Not sure I agree with the direction they want to go, their philosophies about staff and how to lead the place. I hate the skin and will be glad when a dark one will be available. Just saw that Clyde is gone....can't say I like the idea of him being fired for stuff that happened before they took over. Besides, these very people were calling for my head not all that long ago and wanting me out...it's hard to believe they really wanted me to stay on now aside from making their takeover easier and then booting me later.

    I'm too tired for the drama right now. Was considering walking even before Lanz told me about the handover...it just made my choice a lot easier.

    See, that's more believable. It wasn't just a health issue.

    I'm not sad to see Clyde go, honestly, but I hope that some of comments and jokes that gul and Anc have made the past couple of days are just that. There's a rrason why Borgs was given the boot the way that he was, after all. :bergman:

    So you guys think their posting style is going to change because they took over the board? .......lol you are morons.

    They will post in their usual style and take your critiques of the board through the help desk differently than their posting style.

    Why is this a hard concept to take?
