As a non-native english speaker I don't sometimes get where the swearwords end and the message begins and vice versa

@TonyG and @Herr Durr: I really regeret you're leaving. The forum will lose some of the most interesting members.

On the other hand I don't understand what it's good for to leave just to make a point.
Just take it like the weather. Thanks to the ignore button we are not forced to read every mental weak person's posts.
And: you can't change AS to something (even) better if you don't participate and leave it to the trolls.

I was thinking about harakiri but couldn't end it all. I am a chicken-hearted softie.

The maintainers of another forum recently removed all the rating functions although there was no consistent evidence of misuse (yet).
I've never cared much about which icon some people like to click - although I found it amusing when recently, a few ratings became more and more unrelated to the content.
I really enjoy the communication here and the fact that so many great people are participating won't be changed by a few sad and lonely ones.

 

or changing their shapes to sth like these:

 

Yeah... need to follow your own advice buddy. Just saying. If you truly feel that way, then you obviously wouldn't leave. Like imagine I said "I'm gonna start killing people now." and then in closing, I said "Don't kill people bro. You shouldn't do that." how would that make me look? You feel me? #My2Cents

 

Anyway, sry to go back on topic, but TonyG never explained:

How rating someone negatively possibly could disrupt the exchange of ideas, even? The only person I've seen to have their posts hidden (ever) was foster. Guess he might have cause for concern! But anyway, that's (AFAIK) the only real downside to negative ratings. And it's not much of one. The rating itself is just cosmetic and trivial, but I guess it has been useful to have a mirror held up sometimes; to get feedback about possible misinterpretations etcs.

 

Oh, data striptease.
Must everyone fear his/her PM's would be discussed as openly in the future if you like to? Just to make a point?
This one was tasteless. And unfair.

 

why is this still a thread??

 

Don't be upset my hearty. He's the greatest Admin in the world. Demonstrating some info for making some questioning remarks clear is not a bad thing. My name was in the list too but I'm OK with that.

 

because musicians. we are, umm... passionate about life [...a bunch of nutjobs].

is it the forums fault or is it the music?

***on a side note: *KungPaoFist*, oh honey, please! get in here and explain yourself, you beautiful hunk of humanity.

 

i don't know toNIG but respect
however i don't get the thread
ok for saying goodbye we miss you etc
but the guy has left .... so he can't read those comments

 

Yeah he can read them Jeen, anyone on the internet can, you don't need to be a member and logged in, log out and see

 

It is a shame, for whatever reason imaginable, that this forum lost possibly the greatest human resource it has ever had. He knows the law like a cross between Perry Mason and Clarence Darrow, has incredible amounts of real world producing and audio recording chops, knows tons about hardware as he has his own perhaps $500,000 studio, has multiple industry awards including Grammys, and as well has a track record to go out of the way and help those that ask it. It's a damn shame, this.

 

Maybe because
a) you quoted a PM from Beth in public,
b) you uploaded that User Self Delete Log in public?

And I for one think both better should've stayed private.

 

doesnt make him own the forum..he trolles posts out of ego or dislike...or not suitable for autosex in his mind...and then they wanted to make pressure through deleting acounts ...

so ridiculous.....childish....
DAZ i suggest should comment on music again and not be quit all the time but then post on drama from non democratic members...

 

bout freedom of speech : germans dont kno what that is anymore....

 

thats ok.....shows what childs them are....puplicing pm ok not so cool but i dunno the topic...
--------------
im out...
-------------------
that means i dont read this thread again...you kno...

 

EDIT i meant herr dur in above post not TONY G...im sorry ..got confused by this kindergarden...
