I quit.

fish · 21st January 2002, 22:27

I wont take the time to write a long explanation because I know that nobody cares and that it will just start another godforsaken flame war.

I've dropped in one final time to say I quit. Everything I do is ridiculed by all you crazyass liberals thinking every thread should be on philosophy or some theory.

For the small percentage of you who care, I'll still be hanging around the void and *******. You know my email, etc.

I don't even care if this drops down to the end of the page without even any responses. I know you don't care. That's why I'm leaving.
Goodbye.

chiquita chad · 21st January 2002, 22:30

Bye.
You'll be missed.

rm' · 21st January 2002, 22:30

That's a shame. And it's shame that you won't read this either, because "I'm leaving" threads always draw an overwhelming response.

piesupreme · 21st January 2002, 22:36

dude. that sucks.

so who's gonna take his place?

Bop · 21st January 2002, 22:41

Sorry to hear that Phish, maybe you should just get away for awhile and think about it before you make a "final" decision. You are an important member of this community, if it means anything- I DO care that you are unhappy with this place and want to leave. There are ups and downs as with everything; but be patient, things will get better. Please do reconsider your decision before it is truly final. If you really never want to step foot in here again, then best of luck with everything that you do. Take care of yourself, man.

Regards,
Bop

Curi0us_George · 21st January 2002, 22:45

We will miss you.

phisherman...I'll be honest about it.
I'm dissappointed in you for cutting and running.
You give yourself too little credit for your contributions here.
I will for one miss you.
But if that's what you feel is necessary,
I understand, my freind.

There's an old expression about a rat being the first to desert a sinking ship, only to have the rest of the crew abandone the ship after him. The rat was smart, because he got to the first and only lifeboat.

Chev, the terms on which you are leaving aren't the best they could be. If I were you, I would give strong consideration to my actions, and see where I could make improvements. You are a valued member of the community, and to have your image tarnished and worn at the end is no way to go.

Rocker · 22nd January 2002, 06:12

ciao phish

perhaps i'll see you on #*******

Twilightseer · 22nd January 2002, 10:39

WolfieD,

I know that as a mod I should keep that kind of comments to myself, but I can't take it any more. I utterly dislike you and your attitude. Considering your "exploits", you should be sitting in a corner and remain silent instead of making supposedly funny comments about everything and anything. You're really the last person here whom we should take lessons from.

james · 22nd January 2002, 16:59

WHAT A FUCKING MESS.

Yes, OK, so I know I'm being rude, and this has been said to death. But I haven't had my say, so I will, so there.

I think it is TOTALLY INEXCUSABLE what has/is/will be happened (you know what I mean) to these forums. I have been a member for 12 months, and have posted only 140 or so times, (I can't say I pay that much attention to my post count) but before that I hung around for a good few months.

Now we all know that this site is, in effect, owned by AOL. Therefore there is NO WAY that people will be able to say/do exactly what they want. There are forums where you can go to do that. Mostly they are not owned my massive multinational corporations.

IMHO, most or all of the problems in this forum are due to PERSONAL differences between moderators and 'Senior Members', 'Major Dudes' etc etc, in other words the people who have actual or percieved seniority in this place.

Now the reason for this is that an AOL-owned discussion forum is being run by volunteers who have no official standing with the owners of the forum. Add to this all the arsing around with 'I'm a Super Mod', 'I've got CP and You Haven't' and so on, and what do you get? Total fucking anarchy.

The way to solve this is to have some CLEARLY DEFINED and UNBREAKABLE RULES yes that's RULES about exactly what may and may not happen, what is and is not acceptable. And the people (or person) to enforce these rules should have the power to enforce them. In fact, in my opinion, ONE person, appointed however, should have absolute power. Then there would be no stupid power struggles or cocking around.
Also, you should either be a 'Member', a 'Guest', a 'Moderator' or an 'Admin'. No stupid custom titles or 'Major Dude' shite. It means nothing and causes more trouble than it's worth.

I am by no means pointing any fingers here, i'm just giving my honest opinion.

This post has already gone on for far longer than is healthy, so i'll leave you with this.

"FOR FUCK'S SAKE, WILL YOU ALL STOP FUCKING AROUND!!!!!"

I fully accept that some people might not appreciate my comments here. That's fine by me, you're entitled. If you have any problems, send me a e-mail to jamesherbert@another.com

DJ ANTarctic · 22nd January 2002, 23:55

IMHO, I think someone should enforce some rules on you, Herbster.

Merlin · 23rd January 2002, 00:02

Hey, you fixed the avatar (I have them switched on again now) Herbster! Nice.

I agree that "Major Dude" and all that is unnecessary.

DJ ANTarctic · 23rd January 2002, 00:15

Yeah but it's fun. It gives you incentive to post more posts, and make forums.winamp.com a better place. That's MHO anyway.
