Pat,
Don - no one has ever been banned for posting the link here to Peeps site. No one. Who is claiming this? We've warned some but never pulled anyone off the site for that.
Maybe I'm wrong about this one but I have a feeling that I heard that someone was banned for posting the url. Maybe Grantt, I don't know.
My question for you. I was made to take down TOP when I posted here under Peeps rule. (Now a site that never even existed according to those geniuses over there, LOL) He insisted it go down and there was no link involved even. Do you think it's unfair of us to ask Peep to keep his link in Site Promotions when he was the worse there is about this shit? Or is it fair he ruled this crap with an iron fist but now since he has a war with Shrink can post his shit all over the site? I know 44 sets of eyes are on you but how about an honest answer?
This one is taugh to answer for one simple reason. I can not tell if you were, or were not allowed to post that link, and I can not tell if Pepe's posting his links here. From what I know, Pepe is not posting here any more. That's what I know, and it is possible that I don't know everything. So, if both your statements are true, I would say that you are right. I call them as I see them. No reason to think that I would side with Pepe or anyone else for no reason. I'M not going to side with either one of you just because you are Pat and he is Pepe.
As for 44 sets of eyes I really don't know what that means.
No we don't ever want to lose anyone though a couple of those guys you couldn't pay me to have them post here.
I believe that, but I also believe that you guys already pay some worthless posters to post here. I wont go into details, but I can only say that the guys I named in my earlier post worth more and they used to post for free.
You thought we never lost anyone before now? When I posted at MW this place lost so many people it wasn't even funny! Every reputable poster here almost had left this place.
I remember when you left rx to go to mw, and I used to post over there as well, at that time, so I can tell that not many valuable posters went to mw at all. That place has always been and will always be a ghost city.
A guy gets tired of a site he leaves, what do you want me to do Don? His favorite mod, a capper he followed or he just wants a change of pace he takes off. Make fun of General all you want but we get hundreds and hundreds of new posters here all the time. No one knows them when they come but everyone knows the guys who pull up and take of. As a result it's always the "good posters are leaving"?!!?
True that people leave the site for those reasons, but I think that its also true that many quality posters left this site for some other reasons lately. They do not go because they like OGD, they go because they do not like this place. But if you say that the numbers here have never been better, than it sums it all up for me. Quantity over quality has always been the mote of Rx.
As mad as it makes your leader this place is going strong without him. We don't have all the answers and still strive to improve but this little agenda from the old moderator about how horrible we've become without his royal presence is simply not true.
Pat, my friend. Don has no leader in his life. No idol either. A matter of religion. I express my own opinion and if you think that I speak up for Pepe, you are wrong. I'm not posting all this to discuss what Pepe did or did not do. I did not ask for that Lou's thread to be unlocked simply because I wanted to chim in and say something in that thread. I just like to tell what I think, and I like to feel free to do that. I don't like opression, and thats what I see here lately.
Have a nice day.
