## wise, but mean, he is

Wed Jan 16, 2013 7:59 pm

I read this:

> I figured those in the super secret subforum would pay to keep their super secret subforum

and a) had to laugh and b) thought the same thing too.
Odd that 5 people, 5 people posting, got problems to get 120 Dollars on the table. I get welfare and could pay all of it without big problems. Either in one month or in two rates. I got 50 bucks per months for something which is important to me, but superfluous. for someone part of the middle class 100 Euros is nix. Less than nix. Not worth talking about.
Pretty impressed. Asking others to pay for my privileges. "I will give me some rigths and deny them to you. Can you do me a favor and pay for that? And you shall not ask why i got those rights you ain't got".
Yup, you guessed it right: i got no big interest in money. If i got some, i give it away, then complain that i got none. When complaining am happy, so, as far it's me, all is good. Not sure if the people i talk to are happy too ...
btw: You can think of me as someone with a crystal ball (two, truth to be told):
http://www.debianuserforums.org/viewtop ... =30#p20335
"i failed to see anyone who is willing to pay for the forum, hence its final days are to be seen soon." (I know such people in and out).
EOF
btw: Dean, where you been hanging around these days? I saw your forum is down (sarcastic sidenote: again).

Yea I cant make sense of how I feel about the duf forum but they obviously do not need me so that works out fine and dandy. I think it needs to be 'fixed' but the other members stated everything was fine and dandy if me and you would just shut up so I am happy to oblige. I occasionally stroll by to see if anything interests me...about it....about the same as every forum nowadays.

I used some ftp client on windows and it seem to try and open a million connections and I think it got me blacklisted. Anyway I have been unable to reach my site at all so I just said screw it and assumed it obviously wasnt meant to be. I dont have much to say anymore anyway...and dont care to do much with computers anymore...

It has not been the worst idea to make me create this forum. (It was your idea, just in case).
It ain't perfect, the spam is a bit annoying, but at least it is still there ...
Nothing wrong with testing things, or with breaking things, which happens to me all the time. But it is good to have a "center" where one can meet and organize again.
At least imho.
I'm still at forums debian, but it is not very good. I am a lot at diaspora, but that is different than a forum. Also am a lot in IRC.
.
What you do is your choice. We got a German proverb:
To throw perls in front of swine.
To me it looks as if you were doing that.
I am always open to create a retroshare forum or channel (if i didn't misunderstand project majhem (sp?) aka #tyler is organized via retroshare). We would be hip. The avantgarde. ... teethless, though.

Still offering perls?
I read that cynwulf said no one complained about the ban of me (which, btw and as you know, was against all rules). That is not right. huggybear complained, said he is disappointed and left the board. I also got a few pm's at forums debian net.
Oh, and the pope has banned more than just one user. On a side note.
I am not sure what the discussion is all about.
That board is the way it is, it has admins who do what they consider right. Example? It was decided to move discussions > 2 weeks to a certain section. That isn't getting done anymore (probably no none is smart enough to remember anything which was decided). That means: the rules are a joke, the admins do whatever they want. Same story like always.
There is nothing wrong with accepting that, just a board the way boards are, as a fact and stop the discussing. I wouldn't see any raison d'etre for such a board, there are more than enough of those, but that is me.
Then the board would be more silent than it already is. Assuming one doesn't consider links to slashdot links as noise.
Don't let me start on ***-licking.
iow: i agree with cynwulf. Just make it a default board (as it is like that already anyway). Perhaps vote an admin slightly more smart, though (before the former).
The whole discussion[s] is/are about things which already happened anyway.
The short version: huggybear complained loud and clear. A few others complained more silent. The admins do what all admins do: They sit on their chair and enjoy their power to ignore.
I seriously hope nothing of the above made any sense to default humans.
I am still "challenging a new reality", and i don't plan to give up on that.
---
PS: during the downfall of forums debian net Dean (i think ) wrote something similar to "It is a slow and painful death". That is how i see the actual case too. It would be much better to go for real and be done with it (give up on the discussions idea, make some people the staff and let them do what the staff does. Then try to make the best of it, that is: add content).

Due to permanent log-outs i deleted the content of the old post (while logginb back in and trying to copy and paste my clipboard content seems to have changed).
Here is what i recall i wrote:
See what i mean?
If you don't post anymore there is nothing they can talk about.

I guess that makes you a rockstar.

I just assume there is plenty of activity in the super secret subforum and rest easy knowing that all is right with the world, or at least with duf anyway.
