You still pissed at me? Sorry I was a prick to you. You can tell me to fuck off again, I deserve it.

Nah man we're fine... my perspective on moderation is as one who has done it for a living (HBO, MTV)... and my significant other has been involved with managing online communities since the early 90's.... I'm not sure what yours is... I suspect it's as a user... so I get your (and others) resistance to moderation of any kind... my experience is that it can be done and when done right it actually WORKS.. but most forum owners don't want the expense... or don't believe in it - or both..
I can tell you this.. self-moderation or no moderation will always result in a forum that gets smaller and smaller in the number of regular posters... because those unwilling to "engage" simply remain as lurkers or move on altogether... either way the community does not "grow", it actually shrinks...
anyhoo.. we're good...

You bet, but I couldn't disagree more. This site is moderated perfectly, if you ask me. I've been on countless message boards, including this one. And if my memory serves correctly, I think you have been here as long or longer than me. The membership here hasn't decreased, by any means. I think Andrew's approach of letting shit fly is a good one. He comes in when things get out of order, and takes measures. You probably can't do that with HBO, but this isn't that. So I can see where you would want a stricter moderation. But let me give you one example, and I know this is true. When Deano is here, this place thrives. I don't think I have to say any more.

As for the wider lurking audience - they simply have to jump in and sink or swim. Take a bit of crap and give it back. But at the same time, I won't let anyone bully new users just so they can proove they have a bigger (ie smaller) dick.
And for the last 2 years, this forum is actually closed to new users, unless they contact me or T-Bone direct, as there are about 200 spambots per day that sign up and no one has time to kill all of those once they get into the system.
Plus the fact some users were signing up 3 times a day under different names
A future board upgrade should help that though.

Drew, how seamless is the change over going to be for established members?

Not seamless at all![]()
In fact, it will be an all-new board system, starting from scratch. Which is why this one will remain also

Or is the parallel board thing temporary?

I don't know.... I thought I knew what I meant... but now I'm all confused.. maybe I meant something different. Did I insult you? Do I know you enough that it's okay?![]()
