[RESOLVED] My Last Post :(

I am sorry to inform you but this is going to be my last post upon Windrivers.

I did not want it to come to this but I have been recieving obscene email's from users of the forum (all of them people that I have never spoken to or even heard of, using false return addresses). Another reason for me to stop posting is that I have been with this site since early 1998 and have stuck by it in thick & thin, but I have seen, since Service911 (now internet.com) have taken over that it has turned into a free-4-all on the forums. I used to treasure coming here and helping others out and being appreciated, but now it has just got silly with all the unregistered users flaming the real techs, that most of the time, there is very few postings that I actually read.

I would like to thank Scott in a massive way for allowing me to offer a hand with the forums and also to AlienDyne, ShawnMT, MzCPU, and all the other old faces upon the forums for supporting me along the way.

Sorry that it had to come to this people, but I hope that you can understand were I am coming from.

I agree with you 100%
Sorry to see a Real Good Tech leave this forum.

An obstacle is something you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Sorry to see you go. Thank you for all your time and support since I started using this site, it was really appreciated. Your answers were always very informative and usually worked, I will be sad to see you go. Maybe driverguy can throw you a going away party or something?

It's a sad day to see you go. I was quite happy when you had returned from your hiatis, and was back to bring sanity and aid to the rest of us. You will be missed. I also want to apologize to you for the treatment you have recieved! I'm sure the ones who have been doing it won't so whatever it is worth, SORRY from all us Real Techs! As far as the idiots out there, get a life!

Darren good luck to you and remember we're not ALL idiots yet!

Well, in light of all this, all the forums are now for registered users only. Also, upon registering, a unique email is required and a password will be sent to all new users to that email address.

Do we want to see email addresses not shown in the profiles, because I can make them dissapear??? Let me know!

Bummer -- but I agree with you. Your other solution is to fight the problem rather than allow it to continue however.

Best of luck! We will miss you genius.

what a pisser https://forums.windrivers.com/ goes without saying but i'm sorry to see you go, i know you've helped me with some of my postings

good luck and take care...curtain drops, fade to black

I would have to agree about the degradation of these forums and it sad to see you go. You are about half the posts in the Tech2Tech forum. I don't think this site will ever be the same, there is no respect anymore it seems, but that holds true for our society(well, American society, I make no judgements on places I haven't experienced).

This place is gonna be empty now.......

Sorry to see you go Darren. I haven't been posting here long but have read your replies and have found them useful on many occasions.
Hope the new admin measures will persuade you to stay.
Best wishes anyway.

I'm really sorry to see you go Darren yet I can understand exactly why.
Scott..Thank you for the change in the forums to registered users only, hopefully this will help and perhaps Darren will change his mind.

Best of luck to you Darren,

Sorry to hear you have to go, but I agree with your cause, there are millions of computers out there with billions of problems, you would think people could respect this site and give thanks to all the great techs, like yourself, that help contribute to make this site what it is. Keep in touch with us!!! Later.

Fierce~

I'm sorry to see you go Darren. You have been a great help in the time that I have been here.

I wish they had Doom for OS/400...that would be some treat!

Because a bunch of lowlife, sniveling, whiney cowards who are so low, they hide behind a fake address, a good person, Darren , is treated like a dog for now other reason than amusement for a bunch of boneheads. If any of those spineless cowards read this, LEAVE US ALONE and go back to your pathetic lives. We need people like Darren to make things more interesting for us techs and to learn more every day. I am sad to see you go Darren and you will sorely be missed.

Bummer!!! Is this all because of idiots and their e-mails?!? Good grief, there has to be a better way.

I let the moderators see my e-mail address but not the general public...I hardly ever get any unwanted/junk mail.

Anyway, truly hope you stick around...there is always a need for a super tech!

Good Luck!
