    Yeah, gotta make a back-up more often than once every three months.

    Ah the Hood/theLurker exchange, yeah that was weak as hell. But it wasn't half the board, not even close. And Lanzman had little to do with what was essentially a private dispute between two members gone awry.

    That said, unbanning Hood was the right call.

    In my opinion the mistake was resetting every member's rep to zero.

    I would vote for Clyde being the new owner like a Democrat.

    Early and as often as possible.

    Oh, I know y'all would hate me.

    The first thing I'd do is get ads.

    The second thing I'd do is try to get Borgs, Cheeky Monkey, and a handful of others to come back.

    The third thing I'd do is reset everyone's rep to zero and drop it down to ten reps per day. (I'm not sure if I'd do the ABCA thing or not.)

    Finally, I'd chain up all the liberals so we could ride them around like ponies. :jeriko:



    *Who'm I kidding? I don't have enough time for the stuff I'm doing in my real life. Like I'd have enough time to run this place?

    **Besides, I'm sick as fuck of cleaning up other people's messes. I don't want this place any more than I'd want a $350 1996 Monte Carlo LS. It would've been interesting to get this place back in 2008 or so. Right now it is just hopeless. It will limp along for another couple years because there is no place else to go to, but the era of the BBS is over.

    ***Huh. I wonder if that is a bigger problem. There is Facebook to stay in touch with friends and talk about sports and stuff. So the thing to use this place for is the stuff that is too hot for Facebook.
