See ya!

Here's four simple words,
I'm outta here folks.
This board has been taking a rather unusual twist lately and it really doesn't sit well with me. All this talk of legal issues, 20/20, pictures, what to post, what not to post, what to say and how to say it. I agree with GP's rules, thats not what I am saying. It's just that I think, feel?, that there is something bigger brewing in the background and I want no part of it.
I don't know what "that" is, but my instincts tell me its time now to fade back into anonymity. Even though I don't agree with Buffy's banishment, my actions are not a protest. I am just taking preventative measures to cover my ass. Call me paranoid, but I would rather be paraniod than sorry.
I have all the your addresses, and you all have mine, I'll be in touch through that medium.
Thanks, it's been fun.

Omerta, I'm sorry to hear that....you are always welcome here and I look forward to your quick return.
Unfortunately, with growing pains comes problems and with problems comes the unquestionable responsibility of controlling them...it is not always easy and sometimes its down right a pain in the ass. Unlucky for me I have that job....I'm not always going to be popular and there are times when I'll be villified..that's ok...it comes with the territory.
Part of the rules is to avoid the drastic turn this board has taken lately and although everyone is always welcome I only ask one thing....just stay within the simple and very general guidelines that are there. It is easy for some to complain saying that there should never be censorship and albeit that is a lofty goal it isn't remotely close to reality.
I've been lookin at several ways to help the administration without dealing a heavy hand and in the end password protecting access, free or not, might be the simplest method to that end.
I'll be conferring with my faithful sidekick on this matter and something will change sooner than later.
I don't have the time or the energy to watch every thing that happens and although I make every attempt at it, I am human and there are going to be things I'll miss.....as with the posting this morning...I wasn't up at 0200 and didn't see the post till I logged on just a few minutes ago...and now it is gone. I'll be rather easy to determine who posted the message and I'll then deal with that individual; but in the mean time consider this....we have in excess of 1,000,000 laws on the books (Federal and State Statutes) regarding murder and yet you see them taking place for a variety of reasons on a daily basis in direct defiance of those laws.
The best intentions in the world won't stop something from happening....the best any of us can do is deal with them quickly afterwards and make every concerted attempt to prevent them in the future.
GP

I wish you would password-protect posts to your board. Nobody's privacy would be compromised. Passwords would simply prevent people from posting fake messages under other people's handles.
I myself had had at least one "Doc" post forged by someone else, and it is not a pleasant experience.

Yes, the nature of this board is changing. I think we have been very lucky to have been able to participate during a time when it was just beginning, feeling our way thru an unknown frontier, almost like a close knit group of explorers.
Will the change be for the better or worse? I don't know. I don't think it will ever have that feeling of knowing each other the way it used to - simply because as more people join in it gets harder to keep track of each persons own "identity".
I too have had second thoughts, but have decided to stand by and see where it takes us. I would hope that the rest of the old timers here would do the same. This board is alive, and who knows what it will grow into.
(This is not meant to be critical of anyone, most especially GP, who has done a great job, and who deserves all our thanks for providing us with this forum.)
As always, I M Curious

Bashful and his side kicks are all cops. And any time we we break the law we go to jail. You know set up apointments over the board etc... No here is the real deal. This GP guy is actully a brothel owner. And he is trying to get people to go to the brothels by having ladies come talk dirty to us guys. Don't you see it. They got you to go didn't they! Bree, KL, Teesa etc... there all part of the act. They come on here and the try to sell what they have.(By the way I'm just joking *LOL**) No! Ormeta there never has and never will be any thing ilicit about this site or any thing that goes on here. Have you ever looked at Tamara's web site? I think a great web page, but look what its about. And Tamara has yet to be locked up. Later. XXX As for BUFFY BRING HER BACK!!!

Big O,
Although you will be missed you've got to do what you've got to do. You will be sorely missed. I hope our paths are fortunate enough to cross again in the near future. May good fortune be with you.

GP: Buffy Says Yes
Posted by Doc on October 09, 1997 at 20:31:00:Georgia Powers:
I just got off the phone with Buffy at 7:18pm Pacific time.
Buffy agrees to the following:
1) She acknowledges that there are rules on this board.
2) She agrees to follow them.
She requests that you agree to the following:
1) You will announce that the rules apply to everyone on this board.
2) You will enforce the rules fairly and evenly.
If you agree, then you can remove the ban on Buffy.
She will post briefly tonight to acknowledge the agreement.
Then we can all move past this, so much stronger than we were before.
GP, you have all the power here. For the sake of everyone on this board, for all of us who need so badly for this thing to be behind us . . . for whatever reason you can find in your heart . . .
Please say yes.
Respectfully,
Doc doc@cyberpass.net

I agree with Doc. I don't know all the details of what happened, but at this point it is unimportant. I believe that Doc is negotiating in good faith. For the most part, we'd like to put this bad weather behind us and start on a clean page.
Here are some ideas. There has been some talk of using passwords...this sounds like a fine idea to me. We can take it a step further.
Some sites on the web have a button that you press before entering. On some of the boards--especially the adult sites (not that I've been to many) have explicit rules spelled out on the intro page--with the visitor agreeing to those rules as he/she presses the entry button.
The same principles could be applied to this board. When a new or continuing CWM enters the site, that individual is remeinded of the rules each time. This way everyone is exposed to the same thing.
Thanks for your attention.
Sincerely
Treadhead

Tread, your hearts in the right place but do you really thing that we need a nag screen that will just be ignored like the ones on the adult sites (not that I visit there either). What does that say about us as adults? What does that say about our ability to acknowledge and follow the rules? What does that say about GP's ability to host this forum? I've said this before, the individuals on this board are a cut above a lot of other forums. I for one don't want to be treated like a cub. Before everyone flames me for the next statement note that I'm not targeting anyone specifically, especially not Buffy, but maybe those who don't want any parameters to operate within should visit other forums until they can find one that meets their needs. Up to lately everyone here has transended the commone "truck driver" mentality (I'll bet I pay for that comment"). Why don't we just be adults about this thing. After all it is an...adult subject.
