Business? Customer base? Am I the only one using this page for free? I must have missed the screen where I enter a credit card number to pay for this service.

You are an idiot. First, go take a business class then you can try to lecture me on business ethics, which you obviously know nothing about. This site has survived for years without a lounge and complaint forum. I'm sure it will survive with them gone. I'm sorry, how much have I charged you to view this site?

Scott

Ok, fine... business. sure.. I'll put the lounge back up, and the when you can't say anything nice forum. But, I'm going to charge everyone $5 a month to access them....

I blocked IM at the firewall.
We had a user get a virus from a file that was sent to her via *friendly* message.

Guess what the filename was?

Some folks are SO conceited!


Got your email, we need to talk.
I get IRS $$$ soon.

Don

Poor Realist, you're sounding like an idiot. Quit cryin'.

So.....they had to go.

Actually I was going to see if Mharney wanted to moderate another forum... He liked working CHEAP!

Scott

Not if you are going to just go around deleting them, and claiming that they were too much work for YOU when I was the one dealing with them. No thanks.

I for one have made donations to this site, and there are a DAMN lot of others that have NOT. I feel I have a right to say something about it, whether beer boy has or not I don't know.

Hmmmm?.sounds like there?s a bit more to it. So what was the real reason Scott?

Someone offend your sensibilities??religious beliefs??or did one of the advertisers start chewing your butt?

The truth is out there?

WOW I just noticed this has been moved.

Out of a mainstream forum into obscurity

I am not going to go around defending my position. I do NOT have the time to moderate all the threads going through there because too many people were trying to push it. I work full-time during the day and go to school full-time at night. I just don't have the time to read through all the posts.

Scott

Then why have moderators at all Scott? I mean, if you feel like you have to go through them all, you're moderating everything.
