The new "Drama" forum reminds me of the "complaints" forum...and we all know what happened to that thread....

"Negative threads...they check in....BUT THEY DON'T CHECK OUT!"

I have been steering clear and not ruffling feathers or posting comments, becasue it just doesn;t matter over there.

Reminds me of the Howard Stern Show. Early on, his numbers were higher amongst people who HATED the show than with with people who considered themselves fans. Apparently, the haters kept tuning in just to hear what horrible thing he would say next...

Train wreck anyone?

Seems like it would save the mods the trouble of having to move things if you could just post there to begin with

Well we know what he did now here's what he should have done.

Allow everyone the oppertunity to just b!tch untill they were all b!tched out and tired.

Hell, the CS Clubhouse was perfect as only other Gorillas could read it anyway.

Why he would nix the clubhouse is beyond me and why he thinks it's a good idea to just try and hush people up is inexplicable for me.

Drama brings the trafic and that's what his advertisers want to see. If he had a brain he would have milked the drama for at least a few weeks. His Alexa rating would go up and his advertisers (who would never have seen most of the drama anyway) would be thrilled that they were getting their money's worth.

Cheers,
Rob

I so very reluctantly agree with you.


Looking like its time that many will be bailing from that sinking ship.


Perhaps a good time to bring about a spirit of positivity here...instead of reminders of the down side of the overall community.

Possibly even a constitution of sorts of what CA and the mods will never become...to give everyone some reassurance about privacy and the sacredness of the "BOTL-ness" that gave rise to both CS and CA



I just cannot express my sadness with this situation...I've been only partially active for 2 years, but have frequently PMed Jon with unpaid advice that he sought after on how to run the show. He followed none of it, and treated all like ****. I'm patiently waiting to be banned based on a PM I sent him. Very sad indeed, especially coming from someone who fully supported him (I knew nothing of him as a person, or his other dealings).

I've been told by many members here that it is actually pronounced poon - the first "n" is silent.

There were so many ways to handle all of this and he picked the absolute worst of all options.

I'm really not all that sad about it if I'm to be honest.

We have CA, which I'm very happy to be a part of.

CS is gone,
Eventually pVff will be gone.
And as they say in my parts of the intertubes, nothing of value was lost.
After all, we're all here and that's all the Club Stogie I need.

Cheers,
Rob

I'd say we lost a lot of vauable things. Not necessary things, but valuable and treasured things. Posts that no longer belong to us, Louie, not to mention kwagga and kumarusc.

To quote a wise man's usage of the quote in a similar situation....

"I got a really good deal on my car insurance today"

and

Adam making Peters day ... brotherly act of the day.
