: : : : : : 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.
: : : : :
: : : : : YES JEN BUT YOUR SOLUTION IS COME AND JOIN MY BOARD FORGET THIS BAD ONE PEOPLE DONT LIKE YOUR BOARD BECAUSE YOU ARE TRYING TO FORCE IT ON EVERY ONE
: : : : I don't understand how I tried to "force" it on anyone. People complained about problems on this board; I sent a post explaining that the solutions are out there. Then I got jumped on for stealing from Carl & having people post rude things about me. The bottom line is: if there's a problem (with life, with internet, with job, etc), you try to fix it. You try to find something that does what you want while solving the problems you didn't like. What I'm seeing on this board is that a majority of people would rather just bitch, than have someone come up with a new idea that solves the problem. Gee, that sounds like the mindset of Kittanning. Nobody likes anything new, nobody likes a problem to be solved if it requires change. I love Kittanning, it was a great place to grow up & is a beautiful area & I try to visit my family atleast once a year, but the town itself is dying, and peoples actions on here very clearly show why. Honestly, tell me how many people want change in Kittanning, and tell me how many people shout out against it.
: : : I DONT THINK THEY ARE AGAINST CHANGE IT IS YOU TRYING TO FORCE YOUR BOARD ON EVERY ONE THATS NOT CHANGE I DONT SEE WHERE YOU GET KITTANNING IS DYING IT STILL SEEMS PRETTY WELL TO ME

: : If I were forcing (or trying to force) people to join the other board, the membership of the other board would be skyrocketing. As it stands, contrary to posts made on here by the idiots, we've had 1 new member join within the last week. I am not trying to force anybody to join. What I am trying to do is show that there are other options out there. THere ARE solutions to the problems everyone is bitching about on here. How else can I do that besides telling you? If I were forcing I would creep into each one of your homes & sign you all up. That is not my intention or goal. I would like to see this current board either HIGHLY modified , or switch to another board already out there that solves all the problems. Contrary to (again) the idiots posts, signing up does not increase spam, it does not increase junk mail. And while some people don't want to give out their email addy or have to sign up, on this board we can see how well anonymous posting is. Bottom line: everyone on here wants to bitch about the problems but nobody wants it to actually change. That's how it is.
: WELL YOUR BOARD IS NOT THE ONLY OPTION WE HAVE THERE ARE OTHER BOARDS BESIDE'S YOURS THATS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY EVERY TIME THERE IS PROBLEMS HERE YOU COME IN ME ME ME MINE MINE MINE
This is about as kindergarten level as it gets. First of all, for everyone who doesn't know this, let me state the facts. Jen works for WIC and I work in internet technology and web development. Who would be the idiot here? I think the one who wouldn't know PHP from PERL from Javascript from My SQL. Does she not realize her so called "better" board is just a free service anyone can sign up for? This means that your e-mail address can go to God only knows who. Why? Simply because it is not her domain name, web host, script, or database. This means she has little control of this "better" board. She can't control where your e-mail goes to, your internet provider address linking to you, or even actually banning just one person. If she bans an i.p. address to a user then chances are she banned the entire internet service provider meaning if you use Earthlink and she bans you then no one using Earthlink can access her "better" board. I could write damn near a book on this subject. I think to break it down to simple terms. It will increase spam to an e-mail because I did sign up using an e-mail address that was not used for anything else and do get about 30 to 50 e-mails a day concerning spam. This proves my thought. And every account is accounted for? So, see she doesn't even know who is belongs to her "better" board which further proves she really has no control over the damn thing. I signed up under 2 names, Jen. I bet 10 to 1, you might only guess one of those if you try hard. I would doubt it though. But I have several posts on your "better" board as a test. I see now who should not be calling the kettle back. Now, who's the idiot?
