    i know i am a new person to this and probably won't get much response but i still have to try it. we need to get everymember (or as many as possible) so sign in at once and then get a gient thread started where they all sign it and we can set a new record for most people on at once and for the most replies posted in one day. anybody else agree with this or is it a stupid idea? thanks

    It sounds like a cool idea. I know MG keeps track of how many people are on the site at once. I belive we broke the record for that a few weeks ago. I wonder if there is a record for so many people on a forum?

    :cool:

    I would prefer to break the least people on record. Its much quieter and happier here with less on really. More people = more aggravation, spammers, troublemakers, etc.

    Just a thought, I know more people = more work for you !!!, I seems you did want to be involved here at a higher capacity then most,,,,but dosent more people = A GOOD WEBSITE...we all know the down side IE: the spammers etc,,,this will always be a problem for any forum type site...,,but the other side is more people being helpfull, and enjoying a great WEBSITE ???

    Enjoy being here, Glenn :)

    Hahahha, nah if you were ever at the old Tweakfiles board, you would know what I mean. Having a lot of people on forums usually brings trouble, smaller usually makes for a tighter community :)

    Yeah, browse the forums at AnandTech and you'll see the problems with large forums. The signal-to-noise ratio goes way down.

    Yeah, i like it with less people. It feels like a community to me and I know everyone in it. I wouldn't want it to ever change.

    This isn't my first rodeo and I agree that smaller is better but things always change and good sites like this will get bigger. With the proper leadership and good moderation big can be good also.
    Another thing I've noticed in my wanderings is that there is always somebody against the house no matter what they do.

    thats my niche in life... compressing loads and loads of blather into one little blunt sentance of doom.

    No, no...one little blunt sentence of TRUTH in this case.

    People have to take responsibility for their own choices and actions (but that's another thread, eh?)

    yeah. I mean, theres a point when pride overtakes sensibility and nothing but idiocy can thereafter ensue. damn... I'm spouting proverbs tonight. maybe i'll have to update my quotes page...

    Friendship and loyalty are extremely important to me... and people who don't respect that, as much as it hurts, have no place in my life.

    Hi,
    Your facts are a bit off :) I removed people who were using OUR private messaging system to tell people behind our backs about a website. These were people who pretended to be our friends while plotting behind our back to make a clone of this website, just registered for the first time in October, 2003 (though they claimed it was owned since I was in diapers, which would be about 1968) and even originally stealing one of our graphics like our front page Hot icon which was drawn by our artist Eric Greb for this website. It was not proper. A couple other because they continue to post things like this by slandering us then expecting an apology for a little name calling. Waaaaah. That makes sense. A few others, who come here continue to take jabs, like you just did. I dont know why, you guys are bored? Bitter? Dont like it here? No one makes you come here. I know of only a few people here who go there and thats all good. These few people know that and that they are welcome here, contrary to this new lie, your all welcome here except the ones who stab us in the back. Thats reasonable on our part. Im sure theres plenty more, but unlike you guys who seem to live for the politics of this make believe life you call forums, we really dont care too awful much, unless it affects us, which it initially did. We were falsely accused of reading private messages and stood by while these jabs continue in other ways in an attempt to draw traffic by slandering us. Side note, anything databased is accesible and can be read, so really there is a risk anywhere. Really rather sad. It will not be allowed here anymore because those of us who like it here are not interested in your silly little message board wars. Go where you want. Dont like it here? I am sorry you feel that way, but if you want FACTS, always ask both sides instead of following blindly. Simply click log off and go wherever you want, its a big fake world with lots of people who will play your game with you. Your being used right now by attempting to make us look bad on the behalf of other people. Its honestly grown pathetic to watch. My email is readily available as is my PM if anyone wants a mature, honest discussion of the facts. FYI, not one person has made an attempt to ask me or CP our side of the story, nor use what they know as fact, but rather lie to people and use scare tactics to generate traffic. I find that interesting and telling. Nothing I have posted here is a lie nor damaging, but simply our side of the story. Think about that.

    This IS the last thread on this. Anything else will be deleted. I will not allow anything else from the "other side" including this thread. There is no need to post this continual slander here affecting our forums, when you all can do that elsewhere :) I just felt I should offer my 2 cents with some basic truths about some thing, though it appears most are already predisposed to think a certain way regardless of the facts. Thats why we dont bother anymore. Its like arguing with my children. If you want to think of me as an asshole, thats cool, your not the first, wont be the last, but dont think you know me, because you DONT. You can please some of the people some of the time, to hell with the rest.

    Hmm...You're not alone. I was getting told off by a woman customer of mine last night for being "grumpy" and to "lighten up".

    Maybe it had to do with the fact that it was 1:30 in the morning, and I had better things to do than to get covered in ink from her old p.o.s. printer, that she scored for nothing because it was trash, and I was supposed to wave a magic wand and make it all better. :rolleyes:

    But "you get that", I guess. ;)
