    The board owner shouldn't have anyone on Ignore.

    Well, ANC shouldn't own the board, so lots of things that shouldn't happen happen.

    I agree with Lanz, but then again, Ancalagon is only a quarter owner. I have nobody on ignore. I think that keeps things on the up and up.

    Well, ANC is brave in a lot of ways.
    In other ways, he is a pussy.

    I truly believe the board would be a much better place if everyone put garamet on ignore.

    I also believe in leading by example.

    So... :shrug:

    Leading by running away. That's different.

    Ok, for the record, I think you're really wrong about this.

    Out of interest, why not?

    And what should a board owner be/not be?

    You're personal aspirations to gain a place on staff were well documented in the shelter release and wisely laughed out of town.

    Which is ironic since I'm the only person here making a living off of the internet.

    Regardless, do you want to answer the question?

    A board owner should be neutral. Lanzman was conservative, as was Elwood they actually remained fairly impartial, unlike communist queen ANC, Cardie Queer Gul, and Absent Tex.

    Evenflow is the one I like the most, but I don't think he is neutral on the board.

    Wordforge wasn't exactly set up by a neutral you know.

    Didn't seem to bother any of us. (Except Volpone obviously, and he didn't even come with the great migration)

    I don't have a gay porn site. Quest, Ancalagon, and gul will be disappointed, I know. :(

    No; you have a tranny porn site. That's basically gay porn for people who are so deep in the closet that they're hiding from themselves, i.e. you.

    It's amazing that with all that intelligence you can't see how awful a poster you are and still think you're some sort of innocent victim, all while you're spamming up the board with your lame trolling BS. It's literally stunning.

    You're just Enterpriser with a vagina.

    Goodness, this doesn't sound like a very enlightened opinion. Would Liet say such a thing to poor ShepNova? :jayzus:

    Whatever happened to Enterpriser? He hasn't been about for years, has he?

    After he was finally banned from TNZ, he registered here for a while under another name and tried to pass himself off as a liberal, but the posting style was patently obvious and he went away.

    Rick whining about being put on ignore is especially pathetic given she once "punished" me for being mean to Shep by vowing to ignore me for a year. But when the tables are turned she calls people whiny bitches. :lol:

    Rick must be attention - starved right now, she needs to attend a con and have a sweaty fat guy try to sell her a manuscript, then she can feel important and validated. :(

    When I'm hiring people some qualities I look for are maturity, not being a creep, minimal amounts of crazy and not being a racist certainly helps.

    You possess none of these qualities.

    Sorry, you must have mistaken me for someone who gives a flying fuck about what you have to say. When I start entertaining the notions of petulant children, I'll let you know. :shrug:

    I miss all the crazy people from the extreme right of the political spectrum. They added a lot of entertainment to wf. And I miss rep comments... However, wf goes the way of all forums, there is nothing the owners can do about it. Web forums are just out of style, like many people have said in this thread already.

    At least wf is still around and I lurk here quite often. It's still my prefered source for the thoughts of the "average American" :diacanu: Most forums I registered ten years ago have ceased to exist.
