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

this is what it says,at the start of the thread

Where Did All The Old Timers Go ? Also Say A Good Morning Or Afternoon Or A Good Evening Or A Good Night Thread

from what ye posted i can read the writing on the wall..

i am in a bad mood,as my bride has to go in the hospital tomorrow..
good night,and over and out

 

Now that's what I call a good bitch..
I saw the start of this rumbling a few nights ago on IRC.. I'm naming no names, they can own up for hitting the button themselves if they choose.
Suffice to say, for a change it wasn't me reporting anything.

When I saw a comment about this elsewhere I thought ireland was pissed about nobody replying to any of his posts.. Be assured I read those that I have an interest in, and if I can think of something I try to at least make a funny comment about the content.. It's not nice feeling like you are posting into thin air... A common feeling in the console areas....

 

i got up to check on me bride,and decided to check the site..as my computer is always on..

quote,ddp
i'm on his shit list. take a look in safety valve.

ddp,i am not pissed off at ye,but i am pissed off of those that had no blue balls to pm me with there complaint..and taking it off site..
as far as i am concerned they are lower then whale crap
for all i care,close them all....as i will no longer support them..
meaning no more info on vista or downloads or news...

good luck to ye all
cheers

I hope everything is ok,and as a mod I am sure even you understand threads need to go to the right forum :X

a forum can only withstand so much randomness befor no one can find their way around 0-o my god I now know why I cant find anythign in my head its a mess!!

 

ireland.. a little FYI.. It wasn't like any sort of big discussion about it, just a comment between two mods. 2 lines at most.

Now what goes on in the mods lounge I don't know, and to be honest I don't really want to know what they get up to in that den of iniquity. I'm sure it's dubious to say the least, knowing what they like to talk about.

I haven't really taken much notice of what and where you have been posting things (I get confused which day it is) though it does seem to spread about a bit.. TBH I can't comment on whether there have been duplicate posts or not.. haven't gone searching..
Surely it's better to keep things in the threads they belong to.. easier to find and such.. rather than them being scattered all over.
I'm a regular of both the news and the vista threads because I like to keep up with things.. I didn't used to care but you got me interested in things like new releases, patches and faulty M$ updates.. What am I supposed to do with my reading time if you stop posting those huge articles (I know.. bugger off somewhere else and read it).. Maybe it was handled wrong? Don't have an opinion... being a member of the team that's between you and the moderators to sort out. If you are anything like me you only look at pm's every few days...
Anyway.. what I wanted to say I have.. don't go abandoning us news hungry fools.. we need our daily fix..

Hope everything is ok and a swift recovery and best wishes to all.. (I'm not good with this stuff sorry...)

I never posted a bitch on this thread but always enjoy reading it till now, so I quess I'll post one now.

I enjot the hell out of AD, I've been on other treads that mostly suck, but this really puts a bad taste in my mouth, and of course this is just my opinion, you know before I would ever pm a mod. you would probably have to threaten my family or something, even than I would ask for your address to take care of it myself, but to pm mods for silly things that really gets my goat, I mean isn't that like 2nd grade stuff, poeple snitching on one another, come on grow up.

I can just see it now, oh mister moderator, he hurt my feelings oh boo whoo now I need an anti-depressant mister mod man, come on people let the mods do thier job, they can see problem posts right away, they know what to do.

I wish my life was so uncomplicated that my big problem of the day was to pm a moderator, please people don't ruin AD for me and probably many other people by bieng snitches and cry babyies.

Ireland was right, if you had an issue pm the guy, I mean whats the worst that can happin, he might reply back and say, hey don't like it kiss my behind, eehh, I can live with that, or he just might say ok, got your point, sorry, now was that hard.

 

Ireland now you know how i felt when i was made to change my sig even though it wasn't breaking the rules, being it had to be someone that whined about it. i mean come on all they had to do was PM me. so the next sig i see that is drug related its going down too!!

one thing for sure the SV could use a good cleaning up!!!and what should be done is before you can open a thread in the SV a mod should have to OK it

 

Creaky told me that you walk in, theres old skanky carpet, you press the button on the coffee machine that says "out of order on it", and the machine lifts up uncovering a doorwar into the REAL mods lounge, where creaky rests, puts his feet in the hot tub, sips margaritas served by beautiful women, and gets massages also by beautiful women.

haha.
creaky, i feel for you mate. Your hard work and situation doesnt go unnoticed, dunno about anyone else, and im not brown nosing, but you and ddp and dRD, are the most respected by ME....and assume by other people.

*thumbs up*


P.S....@ ireland. I have no idea where any of that came from, i mustve missed a page of this thread, but i for one enjoy your hot news posts ireland, and everything you post, but you just have to put yourself in the place of the mods i suppose. I dont participate in any of the other safety valve threads so i dont actually know how many times you post the same things. In your defence though, i will add that sometime you just post links to a post in another thread... not actually posting pages and pages of the news in different threads.

 

creaky
I am sure if I step out of line I will have my arse handed to me wif a note on it saying what I did :X

in any case all the mods do great work keep up the good work ^^

 

My bitch du jour is that the "Old timers....say good morning, afternoon or evening thread" was closed; and we were having so much fun there. Ireland "laws" were hysterical and people were indeed using it to say good morning, afternoon or evening. I liked that thread.

Edit: I only just read the above remarks and I couldn't disagree more. When I first came to afterdawn, I was drawn into the "safety valve" by gear79 because we should "play" in the receivers / amplifiers forum. I give my two cents worth in those forums for which I have some knowledge to share but part of what attracted me (and I'm sure others) to AD was that there was both work and play and that "play" was brought to the appropriate place to keep the threads on track. Who got off topic more and made us laugh more than gear79 in the safety valve then we complain that things aren't as much fun as they use to be??? Who cares if certain threads go a bit adrift? That thread was one of the more popular, it always stayed in use and didn't just drift away like so many; at 67 pages and counting, members must have been having a good time (for a change) only to have it axed.

Some of Ireland articles are way over my head and there is no sense in my reading them. I have this nifty mouse with a little scroll wheel on it that lets me get past that article really quickly and without a great deal of effort. When I did undertand the articles, they were extremely helpful to me when I don't understand them, well, there I go with that little wheel thing again!

Lord, this place use to be so much fun. Now its about as much fun as a root canal.

 

ireland, I normally don't say much about anything that goes on in these forums. I glean the good stuff and throw out the BS. I always look forward to the articles you post, no matter what thread. If it wasn't on the subject, I always considered it a bonus when it came from you. I'll keep reading where ever you post and keep enjoying what I read. You seem to have a good since of humor. Thanks for your articles. George

 

I don't know; maybe its time for me to go too. Or maybe just lurk in the background somewhere.

 

I'd like to see it reopened. It was the only thread I visited much in the safety valve and it had most of the members I know drop in at one time or another. Ireland kept things going as the MC and part of the charm was the broad assortment of things to be encountered. The safety valve is supposed to be a place for fun and even absurd posting at times. It's the moderators' privilege, but how do you go off topic in a thread where that is the flavor of the day?

A thread for all topics including Where Did All The Old Timers Go ? Also Say A Good Morning Or Afternoon Or A Good Evening Or A Good Night Thread. Plus the occasional joke, interesting trivia and interesting tech happenings.

 

Thanks for the sermon; good bye.

Good bye cruel world. Maybe I'll catch you in another thread. Till then take care old pard.

 

Thanks, for driving off another good member, too bad.
