Topic: A Round of Applause for the Taldren Admins

[CptCastrin]

They couldn't have had a rougher start (unless they had been here longer, heh heh) so how about a round of applause for getting the forums back up. Despite some people's blindness you are truely appriciated Ann, Lan, And Erin!

HUZZAH!

All too often, we take for granted the people who behind the scenes work and toil bringing us something we just assume will always be here. We forget, someone has to actually do work to bring us these forums, they dont take care of themselves nor do they come at no expense.
Thanks to all those who maintain these forums at their own personal expense.

[CptCastrin]

To what end Cole? Are they going to give me a raise? More power?

Get real.

I appriciate good hard work, especially when it's to keep a community asset operational. (Even after one of our own tried to destroy it.)  Why can't you?

*sigh*

Sign of the times I guess.

I think the other side of this coin has been ignored a lot lately.
That would be assessing the value of a Marketing and PR firm with several hundred employees who work for free.
I don't like the assumption that the forums, all of them, aren't a valuable Taldren asset.  That they give nothing back to Taldren Inc.

You tell 'em, Tracey!

LOL!

Takes the first question (which btw was retorical) and throws it back at me while ignoring the answer that was given.

Too funny!  

Good night Cole. Find a different patsy. Homey don't play that.

   

[Kortez]

Yadda, yadda, yadda and suddenly they were at each others' throats!

Hey, I'm only repeating what others are saying. If I'm wrong please prove it. In fact I'd love it if it were proven for certain what happened.

My email is cptcastrin@pegicorn.com and a reminder, I don't work for Taldren so if there is more to this than reported it WILL be put up where all can read it (see I have many web sites too).

Only those afraid of the truth refuse to speak it.

Consider what the value of an asset is when it chases off people who would be interested in partnering with Taldren because when they followed the web links to the forum they found vulgarity, profanity, racism and bigotry.  We are truly proud of the over-whelming percentage of the forums that can debate without defacing and have contributions other than the spreading of ill will.

Hence our efforts to keep them alive.


By the way...thank you to those of you who offered the kind words and support. We really needed them.

Hell if I was running a business that had a forum which was a liability, I'd seriously consider axing it...

Have to agree with you there AX.

The OT forum was kind of cool at times but from a business perspective it's really not worth it. There are more than enough forums, to debate the kind of things that are found there, at other sites. These forums should stick to it's core: SFC (et all) and now Black9

Taldren should just axe it IMHO. Especially if it's true that it was the focus of what took the forums down in the first place.

     

[Toasty0]

Honestly, Folks. Nothing needs to be axed.

I'm startled by the number of folks who're complaining that they're being asked to communicate in an intellegent manner. I knew a few would find the bar set too high for them to contniue, but I had no idea that instead of 2 or 3 there actually exist 5 or 6 folks who have difficulty communicating without resorting to profanity, slurs, threats, and or other scatological posting proclivity.

Like Castrin, I too would like to thank Ann, Erin, and Lan for putting in the extra effort in making this FREE SERVICE FROM TALDREN work for the rest of us. I hope that eventually you 3 will get as much out of this board as MOST of us other FOUR THOUSAND registered users do.

Best,
Jerry

1. Everyone knows the Taldren forums are free and that people run them for us at their expence.

2. Some people really don't care and will talk trashy and mean and make everyone look bad.

3. Averyone else is very grateful, even if they don't see this thread and comment on it. If the forum were gone tomorrow, even those who take it for granted would recognize how much it meant to them.

We all know these things, but still sometimes it's good to hear people say...


       Thank you!
