Lets Paint The Kettle Black,Do You Have A Bitch On Whats Going On Around The Site Or Any Thing Negative To Report

Grow up ireland. I was simply stating that this thread no longer has a topic and people are posting random crap, which is true. And the trend is spreading all over the forums.

You seemed to take it offensively. Why, I don't know, seeing as I didn't mention your name.

When did I say I was "chief cook and bottle washer"? You should have seen enough of my posts in the past to know that moderating and chucking my weight about isn't something I do nor care to do. But sometimes, if I want to say something, I will say it.

Sorry if you took it the wrong way.

 

Nah my friend. I have scarcely been on the internet in '07. I don't really listen to a lot of rap these days, I'm more into dance / funky house .

 

Hi Gerry

I didn't say there was anything wrong with a little fun.

But afterdawn today isn't a patch on its former self. I have been pissed off ( along with many other longer-serving members ) for a long while.. and I am entitled to my opinion. People don't have to like it and can choose to ignore me if they want. Many of those same people are ignoring the problem with the forums.

I have seen, for example, seniors & addicts winding up the mods -- who dedicate a large quantity of their spare time to try and make this site better for everyone. Back when I joined, the only ones who gave the mods any aggro were newbies who had come to this site solely to piss people off. The seniors, when I was one, were on the same level as the mods and were respected and trusted by the mods. None of us would dare give them any hassle. Where has the respect for the moderators gone? It doesn't apply to most but too many are taking the mick.

The safety valve is fun, and I am in no position to tell people what they can and cannot do. But I don't see why we can't have organized fun. When people drag threads off topic, safety valve or not, the mods tend to close them. People are entitled to have fun and do whatever in here, but I just can't grasp why it can't over a subject rather than just "chat".. what do you think the shoutboxes are for?

This is the bitch thread, and that's what I am doing. I am back, to post news and guides and enjoy doing my job. But I have fallen out of favour with the forums bigtime. I have tried changing with the forum, but the surroundings are different. Gone are the days when I used to look up to respected members and learn things. Now we have some afterdawn addicts & seniors who wind up the mods, post lots of useless crap and genuinely don't contribute much.

Back in October 2005 I used to spend lots of time helping out, especially in the iPod forums. But then mid-2006 I had (Senior) members posting useless crap and misleading iPod users, then when I tried to amend their faults, they wanted an argument. People never used to do that when I joined..

 

No I don't. Your point being..?

Same here, that's why I said my piece.

Don't patronise me! you think because I'm young that my judgement couldn't possibly be any better than anybody elses? I am entitled to my opinion. You can knock me all that you want, but at least I make some sense...........................

???

I'm not here to argue. I've had my bitch / said my piece. I will leave you to it and get back to what I enjoy doing the most. Keeping people informed and helping them learn....

 

Nice try, but I can read you like a book.

By ridiculously stating that you need to be "over 30" to make a decent judgement, you patronised me. You didn't need to directly address me to give a response. Nice try though.

Your age is much greater than mine, sure. But your spelling, grammar & attitude suggest otherwise.

It's clear to see that you haven't left, so maybe you just told people you left for a little attention?

I was considered mature enough to have been hand-picked over 100's for this job, so that's good enough for me.

Your opinion to me means nothing, especially when half the time, it doesn't make sense.

People can say that I have spoiled the mood etc.. well, that's tough. I had an issue, I have made my feelings known, and I have nothing more to say on the matter.

If anyone has any issues with what I have said, they can PM me.
