I was wondering if that was acurate, since it seems like people that were on CS are suprised/upset about it.

Dunno it was a long time ago for me. Dont remember it but wasn't looking for it. Might have been one of those "anticipitory changes" in the brotherly to cashout process mode. The point of comparision I put forth was here vs there not CS vs Puff. We have a concern about being harrassed over "owned content" from cross posting Committeed Pufferfish per my previous post. Feel free to post the thoughts you post here, on the bathrrom wall at your favorite bus station, on your Myspace page, on the Paris Hilton fan blog.... etc. The cities are looking for revenue now though so you might want to post those here first as well.

Read their revised rules regarding ads as well. Seems none are welcome unless they are paid for. No more "specials" posted in the retailer forum based upon enforcement of the rule. It's all about the money is my takeaway.

I understand your concerns. I was just wondering, thanks.

FYI -

My user title was swtiched to "Alpha" and then what the mascot is over there. I switched it back to "Alpha Silverback" and it shows as
"Alpha **********".

Nice huh?

For now I am an "Alpha Silver_Back".

When was the last time Al held back...?

Blueface · 01-12-2009, 03:58 PM

Anybody think of reaching out to Louie's family and letting them know we are here for them?

It is amazing to see it in retrospect.
So many got up in arms when the change was first announced.
So many said that was premature to act that way.
So many left.
So many swore they would stay, then left.
So many leaving now.

I guess one thing was for sure and that is things would eventually never be the same.
What once was is now gone.

Glad the team of 11 had the foresight to agree that was not the direction they wanted to go and did what they did.
A graceful adios without fanfare will probably be best, with an occasional, "here I am" once in a blue moon.

I bet their pants are saggin' too!

Did anyone sign up for the puff newsletter?

Al, I just saw this post.

were you referring to me???

I prefer to be termed "muscle"... makes me feel better about being a fat-ass.

rack04 · 01-13-2009, 09:04 AM

How about we all put on our big boy pants and just leave it well enough alone. There is no need to make a statment over there as what's done is done.

Blueface · 01-13-2009, 09:09 AM

Well, my fate there has been sealed a few moments ago.
I enjoyed going on to see what was going on with all the changes but JC really P'd me off just now.
I wish him well.
As I stated to him, "a fish always rots from the head". He is the head. That fish is going to rot with his pompous and sarcastic/unwarranted responses to people.
No fanfare.
No goodbyes.
My friends are here and know where to find me.

No it was in reference to Poker. Seems I have my own MOD to watch over me.

Was there ever a doubt? Jon wasn't a member of ANY forum before the shopping spree....he didn't buy all those sites to foster the Brotherhood of the Leaf....he bought 'em to make money. That's not a slam on him, that is just one of the reasons I didn't want to be a part of the change.

This is home, and I couldn't be happier.

And in 5 or so years, he'll attempt to sell it offf and retire to The Keys. Not that there's anything wrong with retiring to The Keys after selling your web site for blah, blah, but the GIG here is the relationships.

We can't be bought and we'll stick together like a band of rebels if you try and treat us otherwise.
