Don't you just love it when asshats come to roost? This hershey highway guy is a real hoot.

I don't think he gets it. Well it's his loss.

One more volley directed toward the hershey highway...I read in your profile you say you are an ectomorph...One who gains no weight from eating untold calories. Might I suggest brain wise you are ectomorphic also. No matter how much knowledge people cram into your brain you actually gain nothing from it.

Now go away...You ain't worth the effort.

You know, Hershey, there are right ways and wrong ways to do things. Part of the lessons learned on this board is the way things are said and perceived. As Shaggy said, your words betray you.

How about a post along these lines...

Hey all - I really used to enjoy this board. There used to be lots of stuff going on and there were some intrersting and stimulating discussions here. It seems that a lot of the folks who were contributing members are still here but aren't posting too much any more. Anybody have any ideas how we can get this board and the folks on it involved again?

Now, I think that is what you want us to believe you said, but I think what you are really saying is...

This board used to be a great place to come and argue. Since some of the more dysfunctional folks have left there's no one to argue with any more. This board is dead and isn't worth the bandwidth it's using up. How about starting up some more controversy and let's bring back the rude, crude, good old days.

So, as others have said, if you don't like the place. it behoves you to stay away. I have, in fact, posted here more recently. The board has lost several folks to other boards, but most of them seem to continue to mill around. I read this board and also CL, but I am concerned about the direction of CL (there, I've said it.) I think that others who used to be active here will be coming back pretty soon, and with the influx of new folks finding this place again, I think it is far from dead!

Well said Mark. This board still is my home board, and it seems to me to have just as much activity as it normally has, so I don't see any huge changes. Yes a few have left due to the drama days, but many more have joined. Seems like there is life in the ole' thing so far.

Well put. This is has always been my favorite board, and the first one that I check. Hell, it's been my homepage for some time now.

Guys, I am a total noob here and have not earned my stripes so I accept that my thoughts may be ignored by long-standing, respected members. I also don't know all the history between the members here, but please understand that this type of dialog does not exactly encourage new members to join or participate.

Having said that, I will add that in my short tenure here I have found the members to be decent, respectful, and helpful to each other. I am very appreciative of the wealth of information available in the archives here. Just my .02

Respect.

Your future words will speak volumes. You are a noob to this board, but according to your profile you are not a noob to life. In the past, some would not take that into account.
