** Keep the board going **

[rtwngAvngr]

I was trying to address the fact they looked like msn icons. I fail to see how adult smilies add anything to political and world discussions here. Infact I wouldn't call them adult, they looked more childish and juvenile.

They bring fun and merriment.

Hey greg. What are your issues? are you a debater too or just a minutia obsessed dork?

He's the owner, who's trying to assess the current state of the board and make the appropriate changes as he sees best.

Thanks captain obvious. That really doesn't answer the question now does it?

Stop taking 'tone' with the moderators, Jason. Last warning.

I don't think he's assessing anything. Assessing takes time. He got rid of the smilies quick smart. No assessing at all IMO.

As for the smilies being juevenile, so what? They have not had an affect on the board's more contentious debates. Deleting something because of personal tastes, suck.

The smilies are being re-vamped. Greg is very open to suggestions; and has taken suggestions from the staff and others. Look for more smilies and different smiliies to be added or changed in the coming days/weeks.

I asked a simple question. If smilies were removed because he has some problem with things that aren't PG, that isn't appropriate, IMO.

 

[Mr. P]

New smilies, better?

A bit, but I want the finger is back. I have someone to post it to.

I wasn't answering your question - but I suppose I could.

The Staff will make the call on what's appropriate, ultimately. Thanks for your input, however.

 

[Abbey Normal]

IMO, the owner gets to decide what is appropriate. If I owned a board, I'd expect to have that right. We then get to decide if we want to stay.

The new smilies are much better than the last set. There are still a few that I miss, though.

Your telling someone who PAID for the board what and what he can't do with the board? What gall!

Please explain why it isn't appropriate anyway.

 

[OCA]

Ther should be one taking it in the keester as well for OCA!

[MtnBiker]

Yeah, if he shows up.

 

[OCA]

Evil, your my main man, always have been, but as I told you before brother lets keep it plutonic.

Oh I forgot, you can get married now in New Jersey so strap on your leather and get searching boy!

Hello again Evil..Nice to see your name back on the board, seems like old times.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Which would you like to see back?

You're right. He paid for it. But he bought a board with people who are grown ups and who didn't complain about the way it existed. I don't think we need anyone making the board PG. Just sayin... it's his business, but it doesn't bode well for discussion if the board it pg'ized and threads are closed because they get off target.

Oh yeah... and did I say we're grown ups who don't need morality police?

Besides, I just asked for an explanation. Don't you think we should know if the person who bought the board has issues with certain things?
