He can keep my contributions, I got my money's worth. But I agree with your sentiments 100% 9er.

Did you guys have to pay to be there?

[KCL]

Listen, those such as you and DC are great to have here.







We need somebody as objects of our taunting and gloating . . . :coffee:

well top...you know I have been a member at Bmania for over 4 yrs....still visit and post from time to time. I caught alot of flack at one time then everyone fell in love with me...:laugh:


or felt sorry for me...I am a ROFer(isn't that what its called) over there....don't let Tned know I posted this.:eek:

[Ricky]

I just ignored his comment about lower intelligence using the F bomb. I didn't want to get into it with him on that insult.


Just my lowly opinion

[topscribe]

TopScribe and MB would make a pretty ugly kid. IMO.

HEY!! :mad:

You've never seen a picture of me. http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/Reviews/hbnd/quasimodo%20whipped%20closeup.jpg

[MileHighWrath]

Did you guys have to pay to be there?

NO. It was voluntary to help offset the cost of bandwidth or whatever. I hope that was all in truth as well.

[KCL]

Which could legitimately create a dictatorship by committee. If none of the current members are ever required to leave and if they prefer to stick with people they know, then other "families" will never be represented.

see this----------->;) know what that means?

no, but donations were solicited.

Dude seriously - thats messed up - tned has never asked for anything and gave away prizes with the pickem challenge -

I would seriously have a problem with a dude who took my money and then basically kicked us all off the MB by shutting it down/changing formats (tis what little info ive gathered so far)

[Tned]

All I'm saying is that you may have the opportunity to place on you advisory board, someone with knowledge and experience with the multitude of freaks that proliferate postings on this forum. Why not take advantage?


Which could legitimately create a dictatorship by committee. If none of the current members are ever required to leave and if they prefer to stick with people they know, then other "families" will never be represented.


Two things:

First, I didn't give up control to avoid 'me' being a dictator, to empower someone or a group of people to be a dictatorship. Don't get me wrong, I 'know' that my way is right (just like everyone else believes about their way), however, I envisioned a community that wasn't a dictatorship.

Second, we have a Town Hall thread on this very subject (how advisory board members should be elected and the concept of term limits) that was started by Lord Trychon. I encourage everyone to participate in that discussion.

I think I might add it to my sig:

If you don't participate in making the rules and defining the processes, don't comlain later....

As to some of the other things said:

One thing to understand is the advisory board and mods are seperate groups. Our mods do a great job, but if someone feels that a decision was incorrect (like say being asked to remove a sig), then you can PM someone on the advisory board and they will bring it to the other members to discuss and see if the decision was in line with our current rules.

That is what Top meant earlier when he said that things could be brought to the advisory board.

Also, as to adding a freak to the Advisory Board. First, I would say some would argue we already have one or two 'freaks' on our board, but that aside :lol:

I think in time that makes sense, in that the advisory board was envisioned as a group that is representative of the community. So, as new members come in, it makes sense that the makeup of the board could change.

However, one thing that I can't stress enough. The advisory board isn't a "boy's club" that simply forces their opinions on the rest of the message board. They all understand that their job is to make decisions that are in the best interest of the message board based on feedback we get from the Town Hall discussions.

So, if there are areas that the message board needs to change, then we need to have Town Hall discussions to hash those out, REGARDLESS of the makeup of the board, because as new members come on in the future, they will be told the same thing as the current ones, which is, "you personal opinions, beliefs and morals have to take a back seat to the what the community, through Town Hall Discussions, tells us they want".

So, again...

If you don't participate in making the rules and defining the processes, don't comlain later....

[HolyDiver]

MySQL (the database) stopped responding. I had to restart the server. I am trying to figure out why it happened. Maybe the fact the server hadn't been restarted in over a month. Not sure. I will try and find out 'why' and how to prevent it in the future.

I like everyone on here ( and all the new people know that I do) , but I think its time to stop being the "freaks" and having freak meetings and stop the division and just all be one.

Maybe this board needs a side name that we can all be called, but everyone on this board belongs to this board. There is no more freak. Time to move on past that and all be one.

There doesn't need to be separation nor should there be. But we might be better off if there was appropriate representation among the committees.

How about calling the idiots here Chiefs Fans and then just everyone else?

[BroncoNut]

I think that I agree with watchthemiddle. I hope that eventually we can somehow integrate into this new society.:beer:

[Watchthemiddle]

There doesn't need to be separation nor should there be. But we might be better off if there was appropriate representation among the committees.

And I don't disagree with that at all. One thing we all need to remember though is that this board is still in the making. Rules are still trying to be put in place, decisions are still being made about the best way to run this place, and things just take time. Just because no "freaks" are on the advisory board or committees means you don't have a voice? No. I am not on an advisory board either and was banned from Mania for a year before finding this place. I still have a voice.

In the mean time, everyone on here needs to be involved in the discussions that are put forth ( without hijacking them ) and make this place better in the long run.

[BroncoNut]

I suggest beginning with a banning of HD.

[MileHighWrath]

I think that I agree with watchthemiddle. I hope that eventually we can somehow integrate into this new society.:beer:

I agree as well. I was only trying to make a point that this site was founded, basically, by BManiacs and then, shortly thereafter, was infused with many freaks. The members of the advisory committee and the mods are all ex-BManiacs, as you would assume. The problem is, they are all familiar with each other, personalities, posting tendencies, etc. But completely unfamiliar with the freaks. This can and is causing some problems. How better to integrate than to include ex-freaks in the committees and therefore providing equal representation among the membership.

I only use reference to BManiacs and Freaks as a means to make my point. We shouldn't ignore the fact that there are two groups that have been together for years and are merging as one. It's going to have it's growing pains but I see great things for the future!

[BeefStew25]

I agree, but I am not familiar with the misrepresentation of exfreaks. It's kinda like being on a first date with someone. You don't want to be yourself because that person will not like you and you will not make love to that person that night, or any night in the future.

[MileHighWrath]

Not misrepresentation but lack of representation because all of the mods/advisory committee are ex-BManiacs. It's not the same as if several new members came out of the blue. With the exodus of the freak came a large group, all fairly familiar with each other. And as such they are going to continue to communicate with each other, and others, as they are used to. This can cause some disruption and misunderstanding. By including ex-freaks in the advisory/mod etc, this site should be able to avoid a lot of this and charge on towards a unified future.

Paying you mean. Back when there was higher traffic flow there, I was paying the freak $45 a month through google ads. I have it set to display on a bunch of football/Broncos sites, it was displaying more on broncosfreak then other sites for some reason.

I don't have any ads generating revenue, only paying for ads elsewhere.

Which one are you?

[Tned]

I used the term "fuq buddy" the other day and had that post deleted with an explanation that there was a difference between a girlfriend and a fuq buddy. Somehow, I knew that before I posted it. Otherwise, I might have said girlfriend. How the hell do you get offended by a term like that?

Also, FWIW, you deleted post actually said in the deleted post was "There's a difference between a girlfriend and a fuq buddy." The mod was telling you what your post was that violated the rule, NOT explaining to you that there was a difference. It might have been that the PM wasn't clear on what part was being quoted from your post, but the mod wasn't telling you there was a difference.

The reason that violated the rules is that the rules state you cannot modify words in order to get around the censor filter. The vast majority of people in the recent Town Hall thread agreed that replacing letters in words !, @, etc. to get around the word censor should not be allowed. Changing to a phonetic spelling is the same thing, a means of getting around the filter.

I wanted to clear this up, because it is important to understand the mod was simply quoting YOUR post, not trying to explain life to you.

[Lonestar]

After spending all after noon reading this..

We set this up to be run by the members by the Ideas generated, rules made. At one very brief time the mods were in the rule making business as temp board members. TOP in particular wnted nothing to do with making the rule we had to enforce. Until the Board could be constituted and rules that were made in haste were looked at and changed..

We all saw a revision last week. To some it was not far enough, to other too far.

While I Personally am not comfortable with some rules, I can assure you they have been debated LOUD and LOOOONG. Not only are the rules talked about in town forums and then debated by the board they run them by the mods for input only as to whether they are enforceable or not.. Sometimes they get modified a bit some times they do not and we as a group enforce the "law". We really do not have the power to make this decisions on our own..

We have a good idea what is the right thing to do even IF the word, phrase, AVY is/has not yet been defined. When in doubt we ask the board for their thoughts..

For the most part every thing Y'all have seen in rules have been done the hard way now. Opposed to having one person make all the decisions after running it be LEGAL like they do at BM.

There are more rules to be looked at and the input from the town forums is indeed looked at for the Board to make the changes.

The several major groups have many distinct posting styles and terms, none are totally right or totally wrong.

While you may not feel you have someone setting on the board or have one yet as a mod you are represented by making your thoughts know in town hall JUST like this thread has done. If you had a "freak" mod he/she would be enforcing the rules as written..

NOW I ask you who still wants to be banned? Or for that matter feels as though it will happen because of this thread.

So get involved in the town forum pass the word to the rest of your forum friends and make a difference.

Yes. 2 steroid shots already. Now my leg is killing me and the numbness is driving me nuts.

It is starting to look like spinal fusion city for cswil.

[claymore]

Who are you and what do you want with me?
Im the Ether bunny, and I want your Hymen. :eek:

[OB]

Two things:

First, I didn't give up control to avoid 'me' being a dictator, to empower someone or a group of people to be a dictatorship. Don't get me wrong, I 'know' that my way is right (just like everyone else believes about their way), however, I envisioned a community that wasn't a dictatorship.

Second, we have a Town Hall thread on this very subject (how advisory board members should be elected and the concept of term limits) that was started by Lord Trychon. I encourage everyone to participate in that discussion.

I think I might add it to my sig:

If you don't participate in making the rules and defining the processes, don't comlain later....

As to some of the other things said:

One thing to understand is the advisory board and mods are seperate groups. Our mods do a great job, but if someone feels that a decision was incorrect (like say being asked to remove a sig), then you can PM someone on the advisory board and they will bring it to the other members to discuss and see if the decision was in line with our current rules.

That is what Top meant earlier when he said that things could be brought to the advisory board.

Also, as to adding a freak to the Advisory Board. First, I would say some would argue we already have one or two 'freaks' on our board, but that aside :lol:

I think in time that makes sense, in that the advisory board was envisioned as a group that is representative of the community. So, as new members come in, it makes sense that the makeup of the board could change.

However, one thing that I can't stress enough. The advisory board isn't a "boy's club" that simply forces their opinions on the rest of the message board. They all understand that their job is to make decisions that are in the best interest of the message board based on feedback we get from the Town Hall discussions.

So, if there are areas that the message board needs to change, then we need to have Town Hall discussions to hash those out, REGARDLESS of the makeup of the board, because as new members come on in the future, they will be told the same thing as the current ones, which is, "you personal opinions, beliefs and morals have to take a back seat to the what the community, through Town Hall Discussions, tells us they want".

So, again...

If you don't participate in making the rules and defining the processes, don't comlain later....

A. If the board had a freak or two you would have asked me :eviltongue:

B. Not sure if you were referring to my post but i said FOOTBALL is a MANS sport - i never said this MB was a boys club - my apologies in advance if I haven taken you out of context -I am PMS'ng so u do need to cut me SOME slack :D

No, I wasn't referring to your post.

What I was simply trying to say is that all board members know that their job is to represent the desires of all members based on Town Hall feedback, not just create a message board that caters to their personal beliefs, morals and likes/dislikes. Same goes with me. There have been numerous things we have done that are not would I would have done had I been making the rules based on my own personal likes/dislikes. The other board members have been in the same position. They have had to put aside their personal opinions to make decisions based on Town Hall feedback and what the members have said they wanted.

The profanity/acronyms are a good example. Based on the Town Hall discussion and discussion that took place in the advisory board forum, most of the advisory board members and mods felt that there should be even more restriction on the acronyms, yet we implemented what the 'community' said they wanted in the Town Hall discussion.

That's what I meant about a "boy's club". This is not seven people that are implementing their ideas, opinions and beliefs regardless of member feedback in Town Hall discussions. Instread, we are basing our decisions on the member input we receive in the Town Hall discussions.

However, if we have to make a quick decision, such as on whether or not a sig image is appropriate based on the rules, we can't call a Town Hall discussion for that, we instead then discuss and vote based on the rules in place. If it looks like we need to revisit the rules, such as with the profanity filter/acronyms, then we hold a Town Hall discussion to get input.

Advisory Board? What is that? A collection of FCC wannabes forcing the choices of the few onto the will of the many.

Ridiculous.

I just now ran onto this.

It would be a good idea for you to investigate what the Advisory Board is
before you throw around your dispersions. These people have worked very
hard (UNPAID) to comply with the will of the general membership here. The
very idea of their existence is to represent the members. Your comment is
both inaccurate and very divisive and does not serve to further the unity of
this board.

Even though I am not a voting member of the Advisory Board, I am privy
to many of their conversations, and I have nothing but respect for every
single one of them. Because you do not know them personally does not
give you cause to disparage them like that.

You started this whole thread on the idea that you don't think you should
have been moderated over a certain term you used. You were moderated
according to a rule that had been decided after the Board had petitioned
the members for their input. The rule, therefore, was instituted according to
that input. The Board simply followed the majority. It was NOT "forcing the
choices of the few onto the will of the many." It was, in fact, the very
opposite: enforcing the will of the many.

Coach, I see in your sig a plea to go to Town Hall. Discussions there have
been ongoing, and they have been taken to the Board's discussion board,
where numbers were crunched and input was discussed. Trust me, personal
philosophies and values were set aside so that the will of the board could
be objectively considered.

I guess I seemed to come on a little strong, and for that I apologize. You
have been a good poster. In fact, I am tickled with the presence and
general input of all the "ex-Freaks" here. I just wanted to clear the issue
about how the rules have been produced.

The Advisory Board's ears are always open to the will of the people. Even
when they have crossed paths with the Mods (and that has happened),
they have willingly listened and worked it out. They are a good bunch of
people, chosen for their level-headedness, maturity, and sense of fairness.

You have shown a readiness to help to make this a great board. I look

I think I'm going to back off on that readiness. If you tell me this is a dictatorship, then fine...I deal with it. But when I'm told the people have a voice and that everyone was given an opportunity to share their input OVER A WEEKEND and a decision is made and the people are scoffed for not taking advantage of things...

Coach, I appreciate your input and your opinions. And I think I speak for many
of us. Don't stop providing them.

If you think the discussion threads in Town Hall were closed a bit too quickly
. . . you know, your opinion might be shared by others. I would really like
for you to start a thread in Town Hall, expressing that you would like such
discussions to last a little longer and to provide a time period that would
seem reasonable to you. I would like to see how many hold that view. It
might be more than what we even imagine.

I know the Advisory Board wants to do things right, according to the views
of the many, not the few. Give them a chance, okay? :smile:

I am only telling you it isn't a dictatorship, because it isn't , and you don't know what you are talking about. If it was a dictatorship, LMFAO wouldn't be allowed, because I don't think one single advisory board member wanted to allow that.

Just because you are new and don't KNOW the processes, doesn't mean they don't exist. Rather than telling us we are full of it, why don't you ask how it works and become part of the process, rather than a critic of something you don't understand??????

coach, you are being passive/aggressive.

I like that.

[Tned]

I guess this is a prt of my point. The discussions in question started before I came to this site and over a weekend when I did not access the site, so I was never aware of their existence. Please forgive my ignorance.

It's no problem. You have to learn the ropes.

I'm getting defensive, because when you are essentially saying I am a liar/hypocrite, and I know that you are wrong on both counts, hence the defensiveness. However, me getting defensive isn't helping matters.

Anyway, the Town Hall discussion was going on while you were here. A number of other new members participated including:

Broncospsycho77
Bronco9798
Claymore
frauschieze
MissouriBronc
MileHighWrath
haroldthebarrel
BroncoJoe
slim
NightTrainLayne
zweems56
DallasChief
Tubby

Some participated in that discussion more than others, but they, and you, had plenty of opportunity to give input.

It might very well be we need to change the process. Or, this might be a 'one time' issue because some of the new guys like yourself didn't understand the Town Hall concept.

Regardless, you have every opportunity to participate in future ones, and I hope you do. One of the concepts is nothing is locked in stone, nothing is dictated. If the community wants change, then things will change. If that means the rules change again, and again over time, so be it.

This is different than what most people are used to, so skepticism is to be expected.

[Ricky]

I am only telling you it isn't a dictatorship, because it isn't , and you don't know what you are talking about. If it was a dictatorship, LMFAO wouldn't be allowed, because I don't think one single advisory board member wanted to allow that.

Just because you are new and don't KNOW the processes, doesn't mean they don't exist. Rather than telling us we are full of it, why don't you ask how it works and become part of the process, rather than a critic of something you don't understand??????


Why so long winded? Trying to write a book or something? Just tell Coach to learn to deal with it and conform.

What's your problem Rick? You don't have your moderator pedastal to get on anymore, so now you just go around telling everyone to deal with it and conform. If it's sarcasm, let me be the first to tell you the horse it already dead. If you're serious, then feel free to the obnoxious stuff to yourself.

I already said I was letting it go and asked to be informed on any new rules.

I plausibly deny any involvement in this thread. I think I was drunk, and if you don't remember it, it didn't happen. Therefore, I deny any involvement.

Coach, I have shed the mod crap and will have fun on this site, like I used to have on the Freak until a bunch of whinney bad asses wanted to make the Freak a hell hole. I you don't like my sarcasm or my humor, put me on ignore when ever you want. But don't think you can tell me what to post.

At this point the thread should just be deleted.

Yeah, it's our fault you're a religious prude. You use to give us all crap for posting stuff like that and then come over here and pull it with us. What's that phrase you liked to give us? If you can't add anything positive to the thread, don't add anything.

And you get pissed when everything isn't your way. You try to bully and then you cry and then you just pout. Thanks for playing.

And you get pissed when everything isn't your way. You try to bully and then you cry and then you just pout. Thanks for playing.

When did I ever come to you or any other mod and cry or pout or whine? Never did I ever come to any of you on the Freak and I've never gone to anyone here and never plan to. If someone doesn't like what I say they are free to disagree and dispute. You're the last person to be talking to anyone about whining and bitching.

[Ricky]

Your right, I am wrong, we all should think and do as you tell us. I am done with this thread. I am moving on.

I read it 5 times. None of us are demanding anything about the opportunity to use curse words. In fact...I'm the only one arguing anything at all...and my argument is having these opportunities for member input be more announced, visible and lengthy.

It's obvious you missed that entirely.

This thread is on the verge of getting closed because it is in danger of turning
into a "them vs. us" thing.

I want to state that there is only one of you guys who hasn't taken my
moderation well. Allllll the rest of you have been very amenable and outgoing.
Thank you for that.

We are absolutely, positively trying to make this a forum "for the fans, by the
fans." I need the help of some of you who would like that in getting others to
buy into that.

Really, anyone coming here looking for a good board should think they died
and gone to heaven. After all, who else is doing this? :whoknows:

Personality trait. Ask me why the forum background is blue, and I will tell you how Gore created the internet. I define verbose.

Anyway, bottom line is that MY intention, and the advisory boards intention is to make rules and changes based on what members want. We won't always get it right, and we might need to change the way we go about it, but we ARE sincere in what we are trying to do.

If there is a better way to accomplish the end goal, lets focus on that, because that's the ONLY goal that matters.

Nahh, if we don't talk about it, we can't get better. That's one of the most important things about this site. None of us know it all, so we need to be will to talk about any and every aspect of the way we run things, so we can make it a board that is focused on what its members want.

KC, they have just as much right to post and complain as any other member. We don't have an exclusive on it, because we came from mania, versus the freak. IMO.

[CoachChaz]

I started this thread because I know who I am and I'm comfortable with it. Some people can take my crude sense of humor with a grain of salt and others can't...regardless of where they came from. I simply stated that I felt my personality would eventually have me banned from the site based on this. If my dialogue on certain subjects is too harsh for some people then I feel sorry for them. If not, let's have a good time.

Ultimately I felt that the discussion concerning what is and is not acceptable here was not done in an open manner in a commonly used forum and a decision was made on limited input. I made my argument and I lost. I can accept that and if, as a reylu, my dialogue gets me banned, so be it.

Is it going to make a difference in the current ruling that was already made?

No, but it will in future decisions. Also, we just revisited this rule after four months, if we have to revisit it again at some point, if it seems clear that we need to, then we can. I don't know if we will revisit it tomorrow, but ANY person has the right to start a Town Hall discussion, and the advisory board is obligated to listen to that input.
