I'm the new Managing Editor of the site and the forums. I'm looking forward to working with you all. Many of you seem to have a strange attitude about me but I'm sure you will find that I am only here to help out, add new features and keep threads moving . I hope we can all work together to help the community grow. Thanks for your time.
If richard messes with me, he'll end up with a mushroom shaped bruise on his forehead.Quote:

All I know is Richard1 is pretty active for signing up 10-31-2003 and having 6 posts. I also could have sworn his original birthdate was Feb13 1971 which has now moved.
Or it could be I am insane
Me too Bro...https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gifQuote:

Well, welcome to the forums Richard1
Ditto Techz, Hey Richard Give a post in the Welcome Admins thread and let us know you better.
Wait a minute. Isn't Darren Wilson the guy who was here a few years ago?
Oh keep up techs!!
DarrEn Wilson was
DarrAn Wilson was not.
Hang on that's not right either, so You keep up :p .. they are now both currently 'was' :devil:Quote:

I presume freddy got banned for spamming the boards by digging up bunches of posts from 6 years ago and postingnews articles from 1998 in the tech news section continously in a lame attempt to be funny or just get attention ........ who knows.Quote:

On another note, shouldn't there be some kind of announcement from whoever is in charge about what exactly is going on and how it is going to affect the forums?
Though I'm honestly not surprised either. I never saw anything ever mentioning that the main site would be subscription based prior to it happening. I just showed up one day and got free drivers, then showed up again the next day to see it was a pay site..........
Well hell yes :thumbs: - gets my vote that would certainly make matters clearer/simpler & reduce the mellodrama around here.. (There's mention of similar ideas from others too on different threads, so it seems a widely held wish) .. however as I just commented on another thread, such a simple & obvious step (btw it was like this many moons ago, where reasons etc were stated) would of course reduce the 'drama quota' & we've got to fill those quota's ain't we ..? :rolleyes: :eek2: :devil:Quote:

Gee, you go on one week long bender and everythings changed :drink:Quote:

I had originally planned on making the announcement on Monday but Freddy was out of hand and no one was doing anything about it. Next thing you know he's posting the personal e-mail I sent him, which I found personally offensive, under different usernames and using profanity as well. Hence my early arrival. I will still post an announcement some time early next week to inform everyone.
Hopefully we can all work together and build this into a community where people , help each other, laugh and learn a few things. Thanks
NO ****, I need to stop all this drinkingQuote:

Soon we'll be without the moon, humming a different tune and then
There may be teardrops to shed
So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance
Let's face the music and dance
