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

My bitch today is why are we losing so many great members? Granted at times things can get hectic on the forum but within the last few months we have lost plenty of members (generic term) who have contributed to the overall growth of AD. Whether you like it or not some things can be resolved via pm or other messenger methods. I suggest taking a look at threads a few years back and see how the knowledge flowed along with comedy and the occasional flamer. Toned down rant is now over.

 

My bitch is i hope there are still members left to read this,

Road to Enlightenment

This is the road to enlightenment, revised...

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow. In fact just f---- off and leave me alone.

2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a flat tyre.

3. The darkest hour is just before dawn. So if you' re going to steal your neighbour' s milk, that' s the time to do it.

4. Sex is like air. It' s not important unless you aren't getting any.

5. Don' t be irreplaceable. If you can' t be replaced, you can' t be promoted.

6. No one is listening until you fart.

7. Always remember you' re unique. Just like everyone else.

8. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

9. If you think nobody cares whether you' re alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.

10. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you' re a mile away and you have their shoes.

11. If at first you don' t succeed, skydiving is not for you.

12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

13. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

14. If you tell the truth, you don' t have to remember anything.

15. Some days you are the bug; some days you are the windscreen.

16. Don' t worry; it only seems kinky the first time.

17. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

18. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

19. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

20. Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

21. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.

22. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.

23. Experience is something you don' t get until just after you need it.

The humor helps buddy, but it's still a sad day.

J'habite Au Ville de Quebec pour plus que trois ans et demi et Je suis certain que tous les Quebecois sont parle bien Francais.

The French spoken in Quebec is as grammatically correct as that spoken in France and varies no more than that of different regions in France. I studied French in Quebec and lived there for over 3 1/2 years and the French that I learned in Quebec was good enough for both Belgian and France. Quebec French is to France what Ontario English is to England, the same language with a few different words. What we call an elevator the English call a lift, and our trucks are their Lorries. In the United States we spell color without the "u" colour and Check instead of cheque but otherwise (except perhaps for Newfoundland)we use the same grammatical rules.

What part of Ontario are you from? I used to live on London but I've also lived in Toronto as well. Moved west to Edmonton during the Oil boom.

Now my bitch is is..................... Aw forget it later. LOL

 

i dont know if im in the right thread i just followed the link from the p4 vs amd thread. if it gets me kicked out like borbear then let it. i come here for advise and the people and now one of the main people that gives the most advice is no longer.... it sucks and if this site bans people like brobear than i need to find another site to get my info from....

been nice talking to all you that helped me out... Brobear #1 docTY #2...etc... so long thanks for all then help you have given me and the other true noob's guess i should have used that word i know people get upset about it but just callin the kettle what it is.........

 

I'm pi**ed because creaky closed the only thread that I was interested in, P4 vs AMD. But I guess it doesn't matter, since the main impetus to the thread was banned, and now I fear the momentum is gone without the banned subject.....nice way to boast morale here, and keep members. I like to see/hear what kind of discipline for the afterdawn addict that posts an offensive post directed to another member, which is against forum rules, happens to him/her? Probably nothing, eh?

This place is starting to suck real bad.

 

@ creaky.
i dont blame you for anything... i dont know enough of what goes on in all then other forums i just follow a few and it seems that if your not in a certain clique your not accepted. that why if you look at some of my post you see me being offensive to myself i know i have al;ot of iggnorance towards this stuff all new to me. that why i think it suck cause some of the people i can trust with info are totally pi**ed off and say they arent comeing back here. you have help me once or twice with some things ive pm'd you about i dont have anything against you , like you stated im one of the ones who dont get the big picture i dont see all the other forums to know what goes on. i only have a limited amount of time to check the site ouit in the mornings before work and a bit like now when im at work to get my info, and when i get on here i see one of the main contributors gets the axe.... just my thoughts thats all.so i guess it really dont matter if your a noob or a addict you get the cold sholder either way.... thanks again for everyones help

 

another one bites the dust *sigh*

I must say I don't know all the details I'm not going to bother to ask as I see that noone cares to answer.

I do not wish to get involved as politics is not my thing but take it from one who was party to but a small portion of the taunts fo those on "the other side" I must say what ever the reaction gotten from bro it probably was not sufficient.

I do see a lot of those "one liner afterdawn addicts" growing a gang type mentality here, and I can see benefits to togetherness but let's face it when peolpe come together with nothing but conflict and darker rebelious intentions in mind there can be no good come of it, and I don't think the decay of this forum is at an end.
Infact I can say assuredly we have just taken a step back wards.

see you around bro.

creaky,

Sorry, I really did mean that to be directed to you, even though it seemed that way (yeah, I mentioned you nick). The real problem is the banning of the subject person who kept that wonderful thread going, and not that there weren't others contributing the same, but, in fact, he was the main force in answering questions, and making recommendations to others, and now that is gone thank you so much, you powers to be.

I know what the big picture is, and I don't agree with it, so sorry, mainly because of the secretly way the ban was performed, which does not give alot of credence to the way this board is handled, and consequently, there is going to be dissent. WHAT THE HECK DO YOU EXPECT? Give us a break!!!

And, I ask again, what discipline for the addict that flamed another member, any response, I feared not, we would like to know, I am sure? More dissent!!! I mean, the guy posts one post on that thread of 148 pages, and it is a offense to another member.

Just to be understood, I am not blaming you for closing that thread, in fact, you can keep it closed forever, as far as I am concerned, that thread is a gonner, thanks to some people on this board.

BTW, I have spoke my mind without flaming, or cursing, so if that is grounds to be banned, so be it.....you guys seem to do it for no reason, so go for it.

 

Hi all,

How about we let the situation rest for now. Let the parties involved dissect the controversy (if they are willing to cordially discuss it). Right now no one on the outside knows the particulars and taking sides is not in the interest of the majority in the open. I'm sure the admin and staff were aware this would cause a stir and for the most part have chose to let us rant. I suspect the situation will only last for so long.

For the record creaky did say he would re-open the thread at a later time once the commotion calms down. Actually I will remind him if it slips his mind as I don't see the need of starting a new thread. Again let the situation calm down, and lets continue to help around the forums where we can.

*edited as one line didn't reflect what I meant

 

hey! i live near you than ddp.. lol ima bout 4 hrs away from TO.

=pepsimaxx=

 

Whatever bitching it was that got brobear banned, it didn't happen on the Intel vs AMD thread. For the most part the thread was remarkably on topic considering the number of posts on it. Sometimes things got a little contentious but that just livened things up. A real knowledge sharing can't be fed a diet of tranquilizers and then be expected to reveal anything worth learning.

A forum by deifinition is an online community and real communities go through a whole spectrum of human interactions. To keep things overly sedated and perfectly peaceful results in nothing more than an online old folks home. This doesn't mean that I don't think that people shouldn't be banned, coummunities also have reasonable rules, and some people should be banned.

There was a time when forum leaders and even Senior Members used to help keep the peace on AD. As a result most situations could be turned around to the benefit of all parties by AD's peace makers. What I'm concerned about is that this was the result of bullying factions. A group of individuals who better connected to those on the inside were able to use that to exact a one sided punishment against brobear. That can only be fair if he was the only one in the wrong.

 

My idea is this to re-open the P4 vs AMD thread ,the bitching posts in the Intel P4 vs AMD should be cleaned up.
{removed (deleted) by a mod} but b-4 that happens all who posted should be given the opportunity to copy and paste there bitching posts from that thread and repost them here in this thread. like give them 48 hours..to copy and paste there posts to this thread.

Once that is done then reopen the Intel P4 vs AMD thread.
