: : : : Krista I wish there was some thing that could be done I hate to see the board shut down But darn it Krista we come and read and post Even you are here reading and posting So it is partly our fault for not ignoring it.
: : : Yeah I agree with you.. I try not to respond to some of the posts, but it's to hard.. I hope something can be done, because I like this message board.
: : I guess it is only natural I know I am a lot older then you and I have been nosey all my life. I wish Carl would give some one the delete button that would do it.
:
: I suggested being given the delete button after some foul posts that could have lead to a lawsuit. Not getting into details though. I have called Carl on a few occassions and he's called me on a few occassions whereas we discussed this problem. The solutions however would involve having to register, passwords, usernames, etc. which some people don't want to bother with. (NOTE: WE ALREADY A HEATED DEBATE ON THAT TOPIC).
: I wish there was a simple answer. I wish there was something we that do post intelligent conversations, topics, etc. could do together. I only have one answer to this and it's not againest Carl at all. But maybe a new message board might be the answer however I will state one not being a free "service" such as conforums.com and the "other" board. I have seen too many security issues with those type free "services" to trust them. Being in internet technology, I have an understanding of what those actually are for and must of the time, it is a way to grab e-mail addressses then monitor posts and submit you with tons of junk e-mail. I signed up for the other board and sad thing is my spam level (junk e-mail) is gone to the roof.
You did not sign up for the new group as everyone on the members list is accounted for. And even if you did, you would not get additional spam from it. People with little brains have big misconceptions. I belong to 3 different conforums boards, all with various email addresses, and have gotten 0 (ZERO) spam from it. I just love though how everyone has a problem with this board but when solutions come up all they do is bitch.
