edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
I am getting really tired of all problems with the new forum. I think it's time to get a real forum administrator onboard and ask wmk to step down. He has done a miserable job in the transition to the new forum and it looks like it is never going to work right.[p]My ideas -
1. Get a real administrator - someone with experience in running a forum.
2. Charge for posting priviledges. Pays for the admin. May only need to be a paypal voluntary donation link.
3. Use 20th century forum software to run this on - this and the 'new' forum are obsolete.[p]Steve[p]

    pardon my impolitic reply...

    but are you sh!tting me?

    WMK does this for free, it's HIS site.

    tell him to screw, and he will take the ball home with him.

    This site is a TEST site. TEST. as in "let's see if there are problems".
    It's not intended to be the go-to full time, everything is working perfectly site. when it is, they will effect the switch.

    No one gets as ridiculed as a volunteer.

    StevieB,[p]You are absolutely clueless, aren't you?[p]It's been a while since I've seen someone be so utterly stupid in a post on this forum.[p]You are the recipient of full use of a great informational community forum like this at no cost to you. So instead of thanking the people that make this possible and showing your gratitude you make an asinine post like this. [p]Just wow.....

    well newbie egger with 1 post on this forum you have struck a nerve.
    the paypal option is one I endorse. In fact, I would consider forum access a most important Eggcessory.
    That may be topic for another thread however.

    I think you are wasting your time with this obvious troll.[p]You can't reason with ignorant people; they just show more ignorance!

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME????

    i'm sure things will be way cool when the forum is through with all the beta testing. but as everything changes so much stays the same - way too many people who use this place to gripe about everything and anything instead of the virtuous life of eggin. personally i think those folks should find themselves somewhere else - like firmly clutched in the arms of a leather chase spewing there "woe is me" to a very competent therapist; Hmmmm? possibly ranting and raving in a caucus somewhere with someone who gives a damn; at the very least i'm all in to letting them use my cell phone to call someone who cares. for all of you that simply come here to gripe - please go away!!!

    wmk would appear to have a cat by the tail with very little support. i believe he mostly does this as a side gig and for little or no compensation. by the way, he also went with this format to maintain a balance between the old time eggers and the new techies.

    for all of you that don't like what's going on here- I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO SOMETHING BETTER!!!

    WOW maybe the "JERK" posting for jerky might be a better heading for this. Rome was not built in a day and a forum is not either. add to that a zillion, :) well almost, people using it and calling for help. I like it here, now that I'm here. thumbs up to WKK!

    I have always been of the opinion that if your not paying for a service you do not right to **** about it. If you do not like what you see you can move on. Me? I think I'll stick around and enjoy the fruits of all the work that WMK & crew are putting into making this site enjoyable & trouble free. If that takes awile so be it. Thanks WMK & crew.

    that wasn't a smart move on his part, now was it?

    sounds like the kind of guy that will walk in to work tomorrow and tell his boss how stupidly he runs the place.

    you've been buried in cr^p lately. i dunno how thick YOUR skin is, but i'd have pulled the plug a while ago myself. i have no patience. seems you do, and we are thankful for it!

    StevieB,
    And I'm tired of ignorant ass's like you. You contribute nothing positive to the forum; hell you don't even post.
    Yet you compplain and **** about a man who is doing his job; and the job he is doing.
    The admins are doing everything they can to get this new forum up and running, and along comes an ass like you.
    Do me and everyone else a favor; if you have an egg-sell it; we don't need folks like you or to have to be around folks like you.

    This has to be a troll trying to cause trouble! If you click on SteveB profile it says he was last on here on 5-26-07 when he sat it up. If he just posted today wouldn't it have updated to 1-6-08? BTW I went back to the old board and found the same SteveB under two names of SteveB and Steve Bray - identical profiles. One had an email address and I just wrote him to shame him for the post if he did in fact send it or to tip him off that someone may have used his name some way.

    Hang in there WMK we appreciate you and Brenda!!!

    Well, it's nice to see that you're the only one, so far, with that opinion.

    I guess I don't need to add to the comments already posted. Our members have pretty much covered it for me. Though I wouldn't have been so nice.

    Thanks to everyone for their support.

    ding dong the witch is dead the witch is dead. i'm hoping you showed the dude the door.

    on the brighter side of this- it would appear clearly evident that you have the total support from membership and there are indeed so many here that appreciate all that you do. the next bud is for you wmk.

    Another happy customer!

    Show the man some respect...he's been up to his ears with nothing but issues, and is up all hours of the day and night trying to get this board configuration squared away.

    Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

    Ironically I was about to post a message thanking WMK for working constanly to get all of the problems fixed and questions answered. I don't know who he is does but I can tell it's a lot of work. I figured he's either a very patient man or is bald with all the stress.

    did someone post as you again, and you deleted the post? ...or did you have second thoughts? hahaha

    anyway, thanks for your work here. it's a thankless task, apparently. i don't think many folks know this is a service you are providing gratis.

    My dad used to say that "No good turn goes unpunished" Here you are working your b*tt off for us trying to create a new forum where problems and be identified and excluded and thoes problems are complaining already. Guess they better get in their kicks while they can. From the GREAT majority of us THANK YOU for a great job in a very difficult situation. Without you we could not be sharing our opinions (positive and negative) let alone sharing cooking skills.
    THANK YOU!!!
