I suggest you take a long, hard look. Even if you raised 1000$ to bribe Shades, that 1000$ wouldn't even come close to paying for the time I've personally spent both in interpersonal and technical efforts to keep this board going. Add to that the time Res, Xen, and Canpakes have spent moderating according to what is from my view, a cumbersome format that allows hyper-trolls to maximize their profits -- wasting peoples' time as much as possible. Then add Dr. Moore's time on technical matters and his time is worth a lot more than mine. Then add the time and efforts of a few others who don't want to be named who, without them, the board would be left rotting away and my own efforts wouldn't have mattered. You've done nothing to help in the last two years, have you Markk? Your bribe would need to be somewhere between 10 - 100x what you're offering to even be close to a fair bribe.Markk wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 5:39 amI am worried about 6 dollar a gallon gas for those that can't afford it, i am blessed I will get by, I hope. And if you read my posts it is about how you guys are dumping on Shades vision, not who is moderating, but that there is a need to do so. But your point is taken and maybe we all need to take a step back and look at what is really important.
Take care.

Stainless steel 4x4 post base, a pound of bacon is $10.00, a pound of solder is $42.00, and you are upset about a Internet forum troll?
At least he deleted the gofundme, but I suspect that was fear of a fraud accusation more than anything else.Gadianton wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 4:40 pmI suggest you take a long, hard look.

This issue in not about trolling, many complaining about your “trolling” are experts at it, it is not about anything but controlling the narrative. The reality is certain folks find comfort here, and that’s okay, I get it. They find an adhesive continuity within their tribe, and when that continuity and sense of comfort is threatened by other folks opinions, it threatens their “testimony” so to speak of the one true ideology. “I know my ideology is the only true ideology and that my leader is the only true leader.”Atlanticmike wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 10:38 amI agree with Kevin. Let’s do exactly what he says. It actually helps me and the threads I start.
On my list of things to address is how to make “rulings” more accessible and easier to find. I don’t think pinning is a good solution, as the front page would rapidly become obscured by pins. But I think there are other workable solutions available.Chap wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 11:20 pmHas the preceding message been pinned? If not, may I suggest that it should be?
I hope that now Rome Has Spoken we can stop discussing rule changes for a while, and see how the mods set about applying these rules. That probably will be more enlightening than a stack of "but what if" questions at this point.
Sounds like a lot of projection going on here.Markk wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 12:11 am

Absolute nonsense. There is no "religion" here, but the closest thing to that would be with the Ajax/Mike/Markk types who found a new identity in Right Wing politics.I came out of Mormonism before many if no most of the folks here did. And on the old boards we would debate in the same fashion, me as evangelical, and they as Saints…only then the narrative of the church was true, and their rock and comfort. I would go back and forth with here many here, many times…and they defended Mormonism with the same passion as they defends their left wing ideology today.
