..unless your opinion happens to differ from his, in which case you can expect a tirade of abuse... to which now there has been placed power.... sorry to be picky Stanley, but can you give me an example of where i have handed out ANY abuse to someone with whom i disagree?? Please...enlighten me! Jeeeeeeeees - Sterland stepped down, i got asked to step up - as regards the 'staff' nothing has changed so why the big issue eh? Its always mountains and molehills for some people with too much time on their hands! What a big baby!! Great the admin cries into his huge pillow at the first sign of hosility!!!! Get a back bone sheep boy!

Get a back bone sheep boy! PMSL!!! My thoughts exactly Cav... this is not only a fine example of classic Gres-ness... but also highlights the lack of understanding and humour of the man! NB: Gres, I could find several examples of your argumentative nature, but that would involve time trawling back through threads that - quite frankly - I can't be arsed with. Suffice to say, I know there have been times... but you keep smiling mate - it's only a game!

The response to this seems to have been ........ 'you're wrong cos I say you areand 'you don't know what happens at admin/mod level as we don't tell you how and why decisions are made. But if we change the font, or create a large silver exclamation mark ......... then we'll be sure to ask you what you think!!'...... from lollipop 1) Is just silly 2) Is actually the point I was making!! Gres seems to be saying ...... ....... ra, ra agggghhh. I'm admin now so tough!! Which is interesting!!

Gres seems to be saying ...... ....... ra, ra agggghhh. I'm admin now so tough!! Which is interesting!! No ones 'wrong' in all this but I personally can't see why there's a problem at all. Ster stepped down, we all thought it'd be in the best interests of this place if Gres was 'promoted' to admin to do more with the running of the place. Yes, you didn't get asked to vote on it, but you didn't get a chance to 'vote' when Shinny and Co were in charge, I didn't see you crying about it then! As for what we do behind the scenes, what you seem to think what Lolly has said is bollocks and you know it. Any changes we make are either run by you, the members, or if they're only small, are implemented and given a 'trial' run. If something is done that you're not told about, it's increasingly likely that it's in the best interest of the forum to keep whatever it may be, to the side. We're always looking to improve the quality of the board, which involves a lot of trawling through hundreds of codes, but we're all happy to chip in and try make this place better. Often though, when we try to get new 'parts' or go to great lengths to get codes created etc etc, the response from a small minority of you, is predictably 'Ooh it's shit, change it back' which is actually quite insulting to our efforts. My point is, we're trying our bestest to constantly raise the standard of this place, even higher than what it is now and the fact is, we can't please everyone but we are trying.

But when Shinny etc ran the board the slogan was not "Where your voice counts."
Remove the slogan and thus the misrepresentation or live up to what it proclaims.

Exactly, we've given you a bigger say than ever. Yet you didn't complain then.
Is it just the fact that Gres has been promoted where you've not voted? Does it not occur to you that aside from his name being a different colour, barely anything has changed yet you and a certain other just keep moaning that we don't listen!

Tell ya what, everyone who's complaining - if it's so bad, no-one's stopping you opening another board where you can have your absolute democracy. I personally find the board functions just fine as it is. There's more democracy on here than in parliament, for God's sake, and they actually affect our lives - how about you go complain to them? I don't remember voting for any of the cabinet shuffles, for instance, and that really is what's happened here. I smell people kicking up a stink for the hell of it

I smell people kicking up a stink for the hell of it There you go.. If it's not one thing, it's something else, no matter how trivial. The PM thing, everyone's had a chance to get used to it and I've not had any more complaints about it, the mood thing works fine, the time has been re-placed, the logo is back centered.. But no, all those issues have been moved to the side and it's 'Ooh our voice doesn't count' - well actually, yes it does. If you've nothing better to do than complain, go do your job, like what you're paid for.

I agree with what Cav says above ...... change the logo!! I've always said place sould be more democratic. I've never cried about it though, but I have always said it. You may not like what I say or agree with ........... but at least I'm consistant!! I'll admit I'm largely apathetic to coding issues (as are most users of this board) ........ although I'm apprecative that I don't have to do it .......... as that would be right busmans holiday for me!! Surely who decides that 'something is done that you're not told about, it's increasingly likely that it's in the best interest of the forum to keep whatever it may be, to the side' (which is now Gres) ....... is a matter for everyone to decide!!

tbh I've no idea who is a mod and who is admin and I don't care. They all seem to do a good job in keeping this site up and running and if people choose to do this then let them. I wouldn't do it coz I couldn't be arsed with it, so fair play to folks that give it a go. Stop being a WUM CAV

Indeed... though people need to be more thick-skinned, you know well that several individuals on here live to wind up their fellow man (and woman!) Your work (mod/admin team) has been excellent and well appreciated by all (if people would dare to be honest) Exalt for that ever-so-slightly-catty ending there! ;D
