Then lets make everybody a VIP ! Problem solved

But it was created with a level of privacy expected and borders on adult content....so its a tough mess to deal with.
But in theory was open to the public for all that met the requirements...So how much privacy is expected?

Yeah all you had to do was post, and have your buddies give you some reps. oh and the magic blessing of V.

That's not what I mean. What I mean is that I think there were a lot of things said in VIP that wouldn't normally be said out in an open forum. So people tend to say more than they should. Then those things were supposed to be kept secret. I'd bet that a few of them weren't. I just think it can create a mess that isn't necessary.

Im sure not everything was kept secret. But to be honest with you. VIP is now and was back then. Very dead. Never was much going on. But that's my opinion on it.

But as someone who never was a VIP here. I can see why you would think the way you do about it.
Like I said Manny can keep it or get rid of it. It don't matter to me.

The two tier system does need to be phased out IMO...Phased being the big word
But how?

Well I didn't know any of the animosity that was going on until people came back and blurted all that stuff out. I didn't even know that Natasha 'officially' left. All that I believe was done/said in VIP. But honestly it doesn't matter to me personally. I was just looking at it for the better of the forum.

That's the whole reason I am looking at wanting those sections shut down. Same as you. But I had to put my two cents in on why I think the downfall of this place, had really nothing to do with VIP.


Damn I hate agreeing with you!!!



Yes Griz I was agreeing with her again.

:thumbup

And to add, I feel as though it makes those who's name aren't "blue", feel like they're not part of the entire community. It literally took me years to have enough posts to make VIP - so with that being said, becoming VIP was obviously not a goal of mine.

Once I became VIP, I certainly understood what the real deal was around here. Things began to make sense. :ninja

Congrats to the new owner and I hope that this place - that many have loved over the years - begins to thrive and become, once again, a welcoming community of forum members.

As for me, I have a new forum home, but I'll probably peek in once in a while, just because I can. :)

Four days ago I didn't know that I would be a forum admin again - so I don't really have any plans. What I can say is that I would like to keep things simple - right now there are five or six hidden forums and all kinds of usergroups, I'd like to get rid of that.

The other thing I would like to do is to rearrange the forum structure a bit, get rid of some of the dead sub forums and add a couple new ones.

That's all that comes to my mind right now but I'm open for suggestions.

That all sounds good. Thanks for breathing new life into this place.

Yes indeed

As much as I loved the previous owner (for couple of reasons)
I am grateful you came along

Seems it is up to us collectively to make this work
