But, this message board has a major flaw. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD MANAGEMENT.
I mean, how often do you see things get fixed around here ? We have moderators of sections that never come on anymore. Thats because the webmaster hasn't updated any of those things. And the board theme itself looks like something from 5 years ago.
And then theres the troll problem. We have like what ... 3 mods that actually come on now and then ? And about the most they can do is bin troll posts.
Me and Stryker have addressed this issue in the best way we know how. We made a new message board. We 2 administrators and already 3 moderators. The message board layout is easy to use and pleasing to the eye. We have all the ingredients for an awesome community. Now all we need is you guys. We want all the good members of MES to see the light, and join our message board.

You have been here for half a year and were the cause of many of the troll posts. i spoke with webamster tongiht, brought him up to speed, and he gave me mod rights in a few of the forums that just are not covered enough. The theme is tits. it is a parody the microsoft site. It serves its purpose. besides, too many "themes" get in the way of actual content and usability. plus, you sound like some weak windows/mac user who only cares about how things look by bagging on the look of this site.
the trolls will leave if you dont feed them. this is something that alot people here do not understand.
I wish you the best of luck with your new project, and hope that it thrives. However, as a member of this site, i will defend it. If i were a mod of the lounge i would bin this thread. I have spoken with stryker, and have come to the realization that i really enjoy this site. even if we lost some of our most decorated members. If it wasnt for this site, i would still be blindly talking shit about linux, open source, mac osx. at least now i "know" better.
I feel that you guys are trying to move too fast onthe new forum. there are like 20 dif forums and only 18 members. its too much i think. i still do not know the purpose behind the site. at least this forum has (had) a purpose. to educate the masses about the evils of microsoft. Your site seems to be about banning rkmaster.
okay. im done talking shit. just sorta felt it needed to be said.
If im not banned on your new forum for this post, i will see you there.
