Dale,
Thanks, but you know just a odd thing I have to tell you, we may be great members but we are not great mind readers. We didn't know about any discussion or decision, just saw it appear and not one other mod said a word.


Greg,
You are right... we didn't communicate it well, and in fact, since I was tied up, I also need to apologize to Leo... we kind of left him hung out in the wind!

I will do my best to communicate such issues better in the future.... perhaps little issues won't become such big issues.

Looking back, maybe a poll could have been thrown up to see how many liked each way. Hindsight always perfect... LOL.. we'll try it this way for a month, see how it goes.

Well xiggi,

You seem to be hinting that I'm lying...........I can't leave that.

1. It was indeed brought up via email and PM by several people.

2. It was brought up in the moderators forum and discussed, after which Leo made the original post.

As Diva said.. it is very rare that such a change is made without some discussion.

Them's the facts. The decision has now been made, we're moving on.


Dale

Why can't those folks post thier own treads??????????????
The Mods and Admin are now started treads for those few??????????????

I'm sorry, I just don't get it.

If someone starts a tread like before as most seem to like it, will it get deleted?

OK folks... this issue got blown up WAYYYYYYYYYYY friggin bigger than it needed to be.. LOL. So, in the interest of trying to satisfy EVERYBODY while getting yelled at from all sides... here's what we'll do.
LOL is right. It was blown up way out of proportion, and just when you thought it couldn't get any bigger, we have this thread here. OMG <snort>

In a desperate attempt to fix something that ain't broke, we will now have an official EO Monthly Locations-Only thread, and an official EO Weekly Locations-Freeform thread.

Again, OMG! <snort>

Echoing Phil's sentiment, but adding whether you could care less or whether you care a great deal, why do anything at all?

No need for a poll or anything else. Just do it, then leave it alone, and it'll work itself out. The original locations thread has evolved into one with much banter. So, some people (a number of them, whatever a number means), would like to see one without the banter. Great. So start a banterless thread, then leave it alone. If enough people decide to use the banterless thread, then it will survive and be worthwhile. If not, it'll die a quiet death. Simple, easy, done.

It might even be the banter-laden thread is the one that dies.

You know why things got blown out of proportion? Because posts got deleted. Couldn't leave it alone.

I just moved from the east end of the J parking lot to the west side of the lot. I am contemplating going over to the south side now in order to get me some sunlight, but that would put me in a different zip code. Dang it!

Wrong thread, Bliz. This one's got nothing to do with locations. It's about raggin' on Dreamer and those who got together to give Leo the wedgie to make him the point man on this. :D

It is bad enough we put up with what we do out on the road, truckstop, etc, but to now come to where we can relax and get rid of stress,forget about our (bleep) day, and we've got bickering and thread control going on now..No wonder why there are so many more visitors than members.What a shame. It was fine the way it was.Leave it alone.

This is one of those situations where you just can't make everyone happy. Having said that, the old way wasn't all that broke, why "fix" it?

My personal guess is that this has more to do with a few people getting irritated with the post count quest of a few members than anything else.

Actually I am starting to feel the jealousy by a few "premiere expediters" who seem to care more about mine (and other's) count than we do.

Layout: No, your a crazy guy.

OVM: Well, I guess we're both crazy guys.

Layout: Yup, I guess we are.

OVM: How's the weather where you're at?

ect., ect.

If that sort of thing appears in a thread that has nothing to do with your state of mind or the weather, it's not just tallying up post numbers? I don't know about that. When compared to other high count members like Greg or Dave, who've achieved high numbers with substance, well...

Actually I would just sit there with my cat as both of us are catatonic because of the images of him in those shorts floating around in our heads.

Substance? Dave? Please ... :D
