Offtopicz is for sale

My experience with internet message boards and chat rooms is when the cyberspace and real world lines get blurred the trouble starts.

You said it!
I have gone to HK's forum and made an intro thread and posted possibly once or twice, but being on there just doesn't do it for me.
She invited me so I checked it out.
Never really got to know many of you on here much anyhow aside from some friends I've been in contact with for years.

I agree though, if this board is to survive, some people, including myself need to drop past 'wars' on other boards and let go... and just have fun.

I've missed posting here and will think about coming back and doing so.

Meantime, I hope someone takes the initiative and finds this place worthy of saving.

Couldn't have been better said!!!! I'm spread too thin and haven't felt too at home but haven't put much effort on my part to meet any one either.

Well look at all these long lost members posting here!

Vip isn't the devil. The devil is the fact that some people took this internet forum way too personally. The didn't spend enough time in the real world. They can't get over petty internet squabbles. I honestly don't believe it was the internet or just one person to blame for the demise of this forum.

No? Well VIP was mentioned a few times in this thread already. So in my opinion, the hidden sections had something to do with the demise of this forum. It sure wasn't made known what happened in the regular sections until now. VIP sections have no place on forums except for admins/mods. It causes a rift between members and it makes new members feel like they don't belong. This of course is only my opinion.

 

[The Man]

I never went VIP there used to be plenty enough to argue about in the open forum.

If there's no one there in these hidden forums, why not open them up for all to see ? What a nice thing to do right before this place is sold!

Well, I did meet our buddy Jackass back in June.

He's a hoot and a sweetie. lol

Other than that, I think peeps just need to recognize.
Leave the shit from the past alone.
This often spills over on forums.

I never gave a damn about people with blue names VIP, but have had the passwords given to me on the gasp! hidden forums.
Not a big deal, not much to see there anyway! LOL

For some of us who have paid memberships on here, some may feel slighted that we've given some change to be here.

Doesn't bother me either way.
I'll be in and out as time permits and spending most of my time on other places until this all gets sorted.
Thanks.
Love,
Loralei

IMO it's a bad idea.

Why????????????????????????

this is the internet, and no matter where you go and what you post, just remember.. it's NEVER really hidden.

 

[The Man]

IMO it's a bad idea.

I agree as there are private pictures there..that and people posted there with the understanding it was at least somewhat private so should remain as such.

Oh...and good to see you

How are you feeling Melissa?!!

True...but it never really was public either...To open it..would be like a violation of trust to those that have content there.

to open it would be, but some people have copied and saved pics from there sending them to others.
consider that.

hmm you are saying you dont care about VIP or blue name but you want this part of the forum open to see?
seems you care more that you say

and even if people saved the photos or what ever else there ..this have nothing to do with the board trust ..
i guess am glad i removed my photos from there and also from main forum..

Darling, there are nosy fuckers all over the internet.
They say one thing and do quite another.
Think we know that by now.

Will the understanding be binding on a new owner ?

 

[The Man]

A new owner could do as they wish.
But to be professional VIP should not go public IMO.

 

[FoxInSox]

Private sections should be a thing of the past when and if a new owner comes on board.
When I first joined here, couldn't believe my first gander in the 'private section'.
Mr. Rugged with his dick out there for all to see.
Same guy who had the (pardon me).. balls to call me out on another board.
