Time for me to get all mushy.
I just wanted to let all of you know how great you
are.
I have been through some things in the past few days
that has made me realize how great things are here. I just gave up my moderator status on a stargate forum because there was starting to be too much drama.
One of the admins blew up and went on a major rant that borderlined embarrassing, that was the last straw for me.
The other Admin was great. As a matter of fact she is a fellow
Urbanite.
The month before last I joined a forum dedicated to a certain actor and Sunday night a new member put up a very shocking photo along with a drawing. Well about 4 of us expressed shock at the photo. When we responded we were not rude we would simply say Smiliar to , "Good drawing. That photo is interesting" or "Whoa! Where did that photo come from, great drawing by the way". I can't remember verbatim what was said since then the thread has been taken down. However, we felt the photo and the context in which it was used was inappropriate. We tried to get a hold of one of the Admins and she did not have a problem with the photo. She later in a PM to me accussed us of being a lynch mob and that we took the law into our own hands.
She took the thread down saying something along the lines of that the thread was supposed to be
something fun but we made it negative. I offered to talk to her on the phone to smooth things over and try to come to an understanding but she ignored me and
now life on that forum is very uncomfortable.
I decided right then to come home so to speak. This has been one of the if not the only forum that has not been a pain in the ass. You ladies have been absolutely wonderful. Yes, in the past some of us have disagreed but we still are mature and adult enough to talk things through. Those of you that are new, you will love it hear, these are a great group of ladies, and Necromancer and Ballyorn are two of the best Admins around.
I wish I had spent more time here than on those other sites.
Crap, I just noticed that when the forum moved to Yuku that I lost all my posts. I had over a thousand and now only have a little over a 100. That sucks.

And I'm sorry that you copped shit on that other board...
Things like that always leave me scratching my head.. Why? I'll never understand it....



The same happened on an Apolo Anton Ohno board, but as Lou said, sure, there has been "some" drama here, but overall this place is the
most "sane" fanboard I've been on in a long, long time.
They are so RUDE to us American fans and for NO
good reason, either. Childish witches!
