I've been at this message board for a long time now.  Almost a year I think.  And its a good board.  It has inteligent people who talk about intellectual things.  I've gotten a lot of help from the awesome members of MES.


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.

Too bad my giant signature wouldn't fit when I registered. Maybe I'll make a shorter one later. At least I'm member 18.

Same here. He probably just hasn't gotten around to it. Too bad we can't keep our post count over there.

i temporarily had it set to that you needed administrator's approval to fully register... all you guys are able to get on now... sorry about that we were battling rkmaster, i suspect he'll give up soon. but at least we're on top of it. all open now

No he wouldn't, if he did i'd de-admin mushroomprince... there's nothing wrong with having some pro-windows people.

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.

I figured that since there is some drama between them, musshroom would just ban him out of spite.

Far too many sections. And that PHPBB header should go.

Ban you for an opinion? that's silly. The purpose was never really set for sure. It was a promote non-microsoft site, then it was a just general computer forum, and i would like to see it move more in the direction of more anti-microsoft. I told mushroom he should get a good purpose before he goes and tries to advertise.

And this shouldn't be binned. It fits in the lounge... shouldnt be binned because it points out some problems the mushroom prince sees in microsuck.

I'll still stick around and do my part here, but i'm getting less intrested in this site with all the trolls constantly harassing everyone. And there's nothing we can really do to make them go away.

i'm thirsty.
