just my thoughts.

Yes, cause everyone tells you their complaints, which then either get deleted, or ignored.Quote:

Nope I'm NOT a mind reader. It's just a lot of people have left the forums lately.Quote:

Pfft, don't say that. Your a mind reader until a real minder comes along and reads your mind, and then, reads the minder of the reader and tells the supposed mind reader that they don't have the ability to read minds... :pQuote:

We only ever get a thread reported to us where someone calls the mods a bunch of ******s.
When someone does take the time to properly request something in forum feedback, it is discussed by the moderators and administrators fully.
We don't ignore people's requests.
And we don't delete usually delete threads either.
What if the thread is really offensive?Quote:

Your a mod, if a post is addressed to you, then your in contact, no matter where the thread is.
There seems to a lot of threads calling "mods a bunch of ******s" lately... wanna play the guessing game in an attempt to work out why?
Out of curosity, Midgy requested a post dump on the 23 (assumming he/she still wants it, which appears so), its now the 4 of December. 11 days without a visit from an Admin. Do u want to play the "see how long it takes game?"
(Some other argument here)
I'm not having a go at you Jamie(if thats considered having a go..), just the system. :)
Nightwalker83:
First off, a thread is never deleted.
They're just moved to the recycle bin.
And a thread will be moved if it has been reported to us and it is indeed offensive.
Pc_Madness:
I know you're not having a go. I'm just trying to defend the system :)
You say about when a thread is adressed to us.
Hundreds of threads are created every hour of the day, across 10 or 15 or so different forums.
If a thread is simply addressed to us, there's no guarantee that we'll see it.
If someone sends us a PM or email though, we will deal with it.
Regarding the mods are a bunch of ******s stuff.
That's because the admins put in adverts, and everyone got pissed off at it.
Most of those who got pissed off probably weren't here when the site used to have popup ads!
Regarding that post dump.
The admins contacted us telling us that they would all have very limited access for a few weeks.
They're the only ones who can help, and they're just not around.
Now having said that, I don't want to help anyone with that particular request either.
I only replied in thread because I'm a mod.
There's no need to get mad because I was just curious about what you did about those threads.Quote:

I'm saying, when a thread is started, with the topic being the failings of the "system", you people give some half arsed response and expect us to accept it. Surely the fact that everyone(ok... not everyone...:p) is leaving VBF signifies that people here are here for the community not the site itself. I think the fact that we weren't told crap from the start is the problem, and then you(the system..) come riding in on your high horse that this is how its going to be. If this were a Britney Spears site with dumb blonde visitors, they wouldn't give a crap... but this is a developers site, blah blah.

I think I was here when popups were around... can't remember.. a long time ago. Speaking of adverts, you call that an advert? I call it a whole new site sitting on the top of a page. The "standard" width for a popup has gotta be half the size of that. And I read the other day that they'll add popups/side ads if thats what the advertisers want... kinda says that the admin don't know what there doing, unable to control those who pay their bills.
Drifted abit... all well. I'm not getting paid for this :)
Oh ok I can count myself lucky then:pQuote:

2) I doubt that'll happen :)
Jamie,
Do you know if it's possible to search just for posts containing code on the forums?
1) And that doesn't bother you? A trusted member, putting in a heap of work, gets told about us much info on the sale (from .Net.com) as the common people.Quote:

2) I do believe Gus whatever is name is stated that he will allow side ads... not popups.
They need to re-think their advertising strategy.Quote:

They need to go back from where they came from, thats what they need to do.Quote:

1) Yes it did. And this was all discussed between the mods and admins after it happened. It has since been resolved.Quote:

2) Yeah I know he did, but I don't think it'll happen.
Nightwalker83: Haven't a clue. Try searching for "vbCode" with the brackets or something ?
Does your avatar have to be completly black to join, or can it be a pleasant shade of grey? Or have a nice pattern or message on it?
Black, Blue, Technicolor!
Anything at all, except when the call goes out.
Then, you make it black, if you agree with whatever issue is raised.
Basically, if you post here, you're in!
:)
Next thing you know they'll be setting up their own website:pQuote:

the size of the advt header plus the vbf header itself occupies half the visible webpage size.. and the time it takes.. and more blah blah blah....
peace
I tried that but it didn't list all the posts I had made that included code in them.Quote:
Nightwalker83: Haven't a clue. Try searching for "vbCode" with the brackets or something ?
Did you include your username in the search?
*** is this ****? :mad:
If you go to the member page and find your name, and press search you will find all your posts....Quote:
