I think we need to establish some order in Forums.
Please attention everyone!
Do not post off-topic!
If you want to chat do it in the special parts of this forum.
If you post off-topic again and again then Administrators of Moderators will take appropriate measures. Please remember it when you post something like `He-he' (I don't know like what (in English )) or something personal in a thematic forum/subject which was created to discuss Beatles or to get an answer about them.
Do not change the subject of the topic! Go to Personal Mailbox  

alright. but who is the moderator now? it seems that one has left (for good?) because he said exactly this.

Yes sir!

Don't worry. If there is no moderator there are two Administrators

i see. but i mean the moderator got slammed because he said exactly what you are saying now. thats a bit strange, isnt it?

I have been guilty of going off-topic, generally because I saw an opportunity for humor. I will be more conscious of sticking to the subject of a thread from now on.

I honestly don't mind if people go briefly off-topic. What has become a problem for me recently is a disrespectful attitude towards other posters. Even some long-term posters who should know better have stooped to personal insults. It has reduced my participation in the forums, because I don't want to come in to a quarrel or name-calling. If I only check in once a day, I hope the argument (whatever it was) will be over and I can just skip past it to see if anyone has said anything fun or relevant about the Beatles lately.

This board has been a wonderful resource for news, good discussion, and friendship. I hope in time this recent upsurge in bickering will pass, and we'll get back on track. It's so rare to find a board where people are knowledgeable and actually want to discuss a matter intelligently. I am very grateful to this forum, and hope it continues a long time. Cheers.

Yeah, some kind of strange. We ask Bobber to come back and punish those who is off-topic

that is like a good idea i think because it seemed like what he was asking was fair but all he got was a smart aleck remark and some remarks in broken english....the perpatrator was not me by the way...i would have just told bobber to kiss my a**.....but he would have considered the source and pmed me i am sure because he is rather fair in most aspects of moderation...and he is not given the respect he deserves...al and you get that but none of the rest do...me i don't need it,i have a large ego that i alone feed, but i would like to see bobber get the respect he deserves...come back to the five and dime bobber dean...

and the crowd cheers in agreement.

why do you care pc31? the moderator has left the building and there seems to be nobody who gives a f***.

bobber is doing what he believes is right......let's face it each of us at this forum is hear for one main reason...to discuss the beatles but underneath the suface we all have different reasons for STAYING here...me like to show what a big a**hole i can be and network with some yanks.....at any forum not everybody is gonna get along with everybody every time.....because speaking your mind is why you came to the forum in the first place....not to babble but discuss...babbling is just bad...i myself detest reading the recent posts after raxo has been on because he may have 50 new posts and only two have content...thats a drag going thru the recent pages to read something new and all thats there is babble...my connection right now is 28.8 so sometimes the babble takes longer to load neveermind if pictures are involved...that takes forever...you picture posting whores need to cool your jets sometimes...i deem that as a selfish act...of course you could care less how long it takes my mess to load...huh?the attitude here has changed and we could all point to reasons...all of them wrong and all of them right....from what i have seen of bobbers request towards raxo,they seem legitimate askances but instead of disussing it raxo takes the adolesent approach and says i am not the only one,others are guilty of this too why single me out...fucking wwwaaahhhh...what are you a baby?....instead of giving bobber a rough way to go you could try and comply and quit being the selfish bastard you are appearing to be....i am rebelious and say what i want....that's because i am a man and can accept what ever is deft from my opinions in my posts....i also noticed that in the last few years there are splinter groups here who stay splintered...this is a community...you must strive to think of yourselves as part of the whole...no confine yourself to speaking to just a few peeps...you have to put the community b4 yourself or else you are being selfish...if you can't concede to help the whole then your a hole pal an a**hole....i also want to say something else i noticed that the heavy handedness of how d is handling this forum is different from the democratic way he would have handled it a few years ago..i think als' heavy handed english ways are reshaping his thinking...or maybe he is asserting himself....because sometimes it seems this is a rowdy classroom instead of a forum to be proud of....and hey if you don't like it then you know what to do....

fair enough
