ASTOUNDINGLY ! & bloody rude too if you ask me - I'm getting the impression that this is all news to you, or certainly to the extent of deciding to 'take control' ..?

Sounds like the big brother Syndrome.

I had originally planned on making the announcement on Monday but Freddy was out of hand and no one was doing anything about it.

If you don't mind my asking: what has happened to the "last managing editor"?

And yes, freddy was way over the top, and had been banned recently and warned and advised repeatedly by many here, not just mods. What he did was on his shoulders, not anyone elses. In fact, I did report the thread in Comments and Suggestions before your arrival. You showed up then, so what would any other mod need to do about it with you on the scene, sort of speak? Especially considering that you were the "target" of freddy. You had no choice but to do what you did. Sad way for an introduction, too. But, not very surprising.

No Cleetus, he means a community of that type that fits internet.com's guidelines. ie, say goodbye to us lounge lizard types, we'll be run out of here in no time. I've seen them do it to other sites I've been on, and the same thing will happen here. I don't know what's up with Scott, but I don't see his name or e-mail address on any of the pages anymore, so I'm guessing he's out. And with him out, internet.com's corporate buzzards have descended to pick the flesh off the carcass.

Rich,

no offense, but our last managing editor did a fine job of communicating with us. maybe it was hardly ever directly, but his message was delivered daily through the mods like Noo Noo who do a fantastic job here for almost nothing but the goodness of their hearts.

With scott at the helm this place felt like it was ours.....the members. With the events of the last two days, it is beginning to feel like it's going to be YOUR place and we are just guests who can easily be ushered out or pushed to the side for spilling wine on the floor, eating too many potato chips, or basically anything at all......

if you didn't want to make an announcement until monday then you should've left the forum operate as it has for the past how many ever years over the weekend. You still could have taken care of freddy through a moderator. When you didn't and just appeared as if from nowhere to punish freddy it opens up this very can of worms we have opened. Ditto for changing the site leaders and stuff. If you didn't want to make an announcement or answer questions until monday, why would you put yourself in a position to have questions even be asked?

the very fact that our most active member / moderator has no idea what is really going on is quite scary to me. Noo should have known about this before anyone else, and should have been aware of the changes that are going to take place before any of the members. Noo is a wonderful mother to her own children but she has also been a wonderful mother to this community for a while now taking more responibility for it than she probably should have and getting all the crap that goes along with that responsibility. for her to not know what is happening (and the other mods too) before the other members is bad form.....and generally a shame.

I'd like to hang around here in the future, but if this is the way we kick off the new era, I have my doubts that this is the kind of place I'd be comfortable in......or sometimes even welcome.

oh well.....that's my .02 ......not that it even matters, because obviously .......

Very nice

Is Scott still going to say ello-ha from time to time??

Does Scott have a new forum? I been at Scott's digs for donkeys years between numerous jobs and home ISP's. I used to laugh at him when he came to sit at his desk at his home in his sloppies and plumped down in front of his webcam.

All your posts are belong to me

There is no chance to survive. Make your time!

OK people, I know we have an informational vacuum, but speculation is not going to cut it. I think enough has been said so that the management understand your thoughts and feelings. I am going to lock this thread. Anyone wanting to call me on it can do so on [email protected] or pm me.
