No1-Where Did All The Old Timers Go Who Helped Out Here At Afterdawn,Who's Still Here? All Please Check In! CLOSED!

@ScubaBud; That was great; thanks so much for posting that link ScubaBud! I had a really crappy day and needed a good laugh like that! ... Gerry

 

LoL :^) I'm sure you didn't mean it that way Darth...

 

I just read that DrChips link

I never found anything funnier than that

Its amazin how some people are i always say make sure u can back up what you say

 

Flip218 i just saw a reply you made to one i reported, my god you have changed......................wheres the old flip, you didnt leave him on a counterstrike site some where did you................

Sp i guess this is the new and improved flip218 then...........lol

 

@Darth; I too will do as you ask. It had occured to me but I didn't think it was my place but if it will help the site in general and the mods in particular, I'll do my best to help out. Like so many, I think aD is just awesome and want to do my part.

@Everybody: Well, you can't learn anything without first admitting ignorance so I swallowed my pride, went to google and typed in "haXOR". Duuuhhhhh. I didn't even understand the explanation and I don't know if I want to. I guess ignorance is bliss after all LOL!

 

well didnt you, i grew up in the highlands of P.N.G where the cannibals roam free before moving to the civilised world of austalia

 

It is good to see so many veteran AD members online here again.

I have seen so many of my sentiments expressed by other elder statesmen (no gender intended).

Auto-promote needs to be re-evaluated. I really do hate seeing a stupid question from someone who has an equal, or higher, ranking than what I have. Not that I deserve my ranking.

Perhaps the "Report an Offensive Post" link should be "Report a Rules Violation". I can "offend" anyone every time I post. Just because an ignoramus does not understand what I said should not be construed as "offensive".

I got tied up at work for 2 days so I missed some of the posts on this thread. Can't understand why problems always show up on weekends at work.

I see we managed to wake Doc Chips up. Good to see you jump in here Doc. Welcome back.

Now a quick comment on Darths post. In over 2 years on here I never tried to act like a mod but use to give friendly advice and suggestions to members bending or breaking the rules. They were always given as suggestions in a nice way. Then several months ago we were asked not to do that anymore. I can't remember how the thread started or why. I always thought that if done properly it usually helped correct a problem before a mod had to get involved but in that thread I stated that if thats what the forum admins wanted thats what I would do. We now are getting just the reverse of that statement back to the way it was before. I totally agree with the return to some of the OLD ways. I think thats what is needed to bring the forum back to the way it was before. Not just in this one area but in many areas.

This thread shows how we use to get along as a family and as good friends, having fun when possible but also keeping the rest of the forum in line as needed. Its a good start to getting the old AfterDawn back.

There was a time when it was easy to identify those who were teacher and student and those who were just students. A rank had meaning and many were promoted based on what they knew. When a newbie was helped by a Senior Member they felt special, that they had somehow obtained special attention and that the info given to them could be trusted. Now anyone who posts a few opinions and links rise to the same status as those who gave genuine directions.

 

I originally got turned on to AD through DVD X Copy back when it upgraided to 1.41. I joined the afterdawn (DVD X Copy) forum for all the help from Jaybo, Ireland, whisperer, and many others. I have been a lurkerer (infrequent poster) for years. I do check on AD 4 to 5 times a week. There has been a paradigm shift from those in the 25-65 yrs. old range to many more in the 14-17 yrs. old range. I'm not saying that they don't know anything. They know more than I and many others. They also have raging hormones running throuth their veigns and easily offend others,not intentionally mind you. I do feel many have left as a result. I will stay. I will lurk. I will occasionally post. It will get interesting once hd-dvd and bd come to market. I wonder If DVD John is anxious?
