    You know I got this far in this thread and I for one think that dick you think you're swinging is big enough to make us bow to the powers that you think be but here's a message for you and your stance, attitude, and the general idea of chopping up threads "for the children" or for whatever vision you have going on here.

    Bye. :shrug:

    Think whatever you want. You're wrong if you think it's my vision, though.

    No they're not my words, for the 8th fucking time now is that I want is to talk about suggestions. Keep in mind that at one time Ignore was a solution. The Arena was a solution. Did either one of them destroy the very ethos of WF?

    Now calm the fuck down, read what I actually type and try to be helpful or STFU, we already have one flashlight. :diacanu:

    Pull your panties out of your vagina. I and other clearly saw what you typed. Like I said, your words not mine. You're the current HMFIC, so make what ever change you want. You obviously aren't getting it through to your thick assed skull that a supermajority of the board has come to the conclusion that enough is enough. You either give a fuck and listen and say "damn, guess that one won't fly" or you just keep charging on until you get your way.

    If they're my words quote them. If there is a change I've said I'm going to make, post it.

    But you won't, b/c you can't. You fell for the deep and now you won't back down b/c your ego won't let you.

    That's just it.....

    None of us are stupid enough to believe you actually want to talk about suggestions. Certainly there is only lip-service from you in this thread about suggestions. The bulk of your posts in this thread are whining about how there is a problem.

    It's pretty much a given what you plan to do. The proof is in this thread from your posts. You're just afraid now of what might happen if you go all the way with it at this time. Bet you weren't expecting us proles to back-talk you.........

    You haven't replied to any post of mine since before you left for the sandbox, and I'm not sure you did even then. For all I know, you haven't even read any of them since then, so your concept of "games" is just chanting the meme.

    You like to talk around me like the other "superior intellects," and my concern ("obsession" in WormboySpeak) is for a board whose super-owner considers it a point of honor to announce his ability to ignore the membership.

    Now, tell me Post #532 is incorrect. :bailey:

    You haven't said what change, but you have made it very clear that you won't rest without having a change, no matter how many people tell you that there is no problem and they want no change:

    Yep, repeatedly state there is a problem and challenge people to suggest solutions when we ourselves disagree that there is a problem. It's like he wants to stir the pot. There is no 800 pound elephant in the room, so let's stop talking about where to put it.

    "You all can keep repeating that, but it doesn't make it true. I have no desire to change the fundamental makeup of the Red Room, I do want to find a way to provide those who want some debate and discussion space to do so."

    Looks like Frontline was right to me......

    At its core, the problem is that ancagalacockgibnler wants what he wants, and doesn't care that other people want something different.

    It wouldn't be any more complicated than that - but then the lies started.

    :lol: So the closest you can get to me saying that I have a change for the Red Room planned is me saying I won't pretend there isn't a problem.

    Please explain how that means I am planning to fundamentally change the Red Room?

    Seriously, walk me though it. 'Anc says there is a problem.' ..... 'Which means he is going to change the Red Room.' Fill in the blank please.

    B/c right now I'm working with John to see what the options are to improve the New Posts visibility so that the 'space' could be in the Green Room (an idea I got from one of you when you werent shitting yourself so hard you couldn't think). Is improving the visibility of threads in the Green Room going to fundamentally change the nature of the Red Room?

    How many times do I have to repeat that I'm not set on only one option for you paranoid fucks to actually read what I say?

    Or not, just keep on telling me what I am going to do. :lol:

    Because you have a well established history of every time you say there is a problem you ride it like a fleet of sailors going after a $2 whore after being on the seas for 6 months until you get your way. You're seeing a problem that only two, maybe 3 other people on the board also see while everyone else is telling you there is no problem. That's why I'm saying either give it up or pull the trigger. Just quit bullshitting around and trying to get people on board to your way of thinking and telling the rest of the board that we are dropping acid and not seeing things the right way. It ain't gonna happen because there isn't a problem.

    Keep on grasping. Keep on saying there is a problem when there isn't. Keep telling the rest of the board that they're nuts and you're the only sane one.

    Continuing to make the claim that there is a problem that nobody sees, continuing to state that a solution is required, is all a pretty good indication that you want to do something that doesn't need to happen.

    The membership will start offering suggestions when a problem actually comes along. Oh wait, yes, that's what happened. The problem was splitting and boxing threads that were heading in directions deemed undesirable. The membership responded with the suggestion: don't fucking do that in the Red Room.

    We aren't saying that because we want a different response to such threads. We are saying it because we want no response to such threads.

    Pull the trigger on WHAT?!?!

    For the ninth fucking time, I. Have. No. Plan. That's why I keep asking people for suggestions.

    As Elwood said, this isn't the first time the signal to noise ratio got out of hand. The only difference was that back then people didn't shit themselves at change. One time Starguard was banned (I don't want to ban anyone), another time ignore was implimented, another time The Arena was created. In their own way and for their own situation each were successful, but times change, dynamics change, new problems arise and new solutions are needed.

    Just b/c we recognize a problem doesn't mean we have to act in a way that fundamentally changes the Red Room. If you paranoid fucks would actually read what I say instead of creating shit on your heads 'we know what you REALLY think/will do' we could actually discuss this shit and figure put something that makes everyone happy. Or we run through all the options and decide nothing will work.

    Sounds like you are frustrated. Have you not noticed that dozens of people have given you a valid suggestion? It's the no-build option. That's the correct answer.
