Forum upheaval.....just a little info!

I know that many people are concerned with what's happening on the forum lately. I encourage everyone to read this thread posted by Brandy: Note regarding recent forum activities.

Please, please do not turn this into a debate or discussion thread or it will be closed. I thought it just might clarify where things stand and what is being done to offer a solution.

If this could get a bump every so often that would be great!

Bumping up!!!!!!!,

Please, I don't know what it was about--- I missed it, and if it was something bad, I'm glad that I missed it, because I'm usually a get along gal, and never like confrontations, disagreements, etc...... but I just want to say that I hope everything of this nature blows over soon and we get along with everyone else without fighting, etc......

Thanks,

I can't be on the forum every day and follow all posts. So reading about this post last night surprised me a little since I didn't know what was going on. I read the link you supplied but I must say it confused me even more.
Unfortunately I had to find out on a different place what this issue is all about.
Maybe you should be more open here and explain also to the people who don't follow every post what is going on instead of cryptic explanations which don't come to the point.

What is GLBT?? Who is the mystic owner of this forum??

Just my thought...
Ralf

Thanks everyone for keeping this bumped to the top.

Ralf........I was not trying to be cryptic, just trying to help keep people informed and up to date. The topic has been closed and I will not re-open it and stir things back up. I'm glad that someone else was able to fill you in.

Thanks again to everyone for keeping this bumped and to Brandy for working on this issue during this busy and stressful time for her personally.

Hellloooooo

wasn't there strict instructions NOT to form a controversy on this thread?????????

Is anyone reading? Or do they just lock the innocent threads that say goodbye, so long, farewell....???

I'm COMPLETELY incensed that this can come from a "FH" and it gets unnoticed. So much for objectivity. When a signature line takes up the whole space, I think that serves as an actual "post" and that's just uncalled for from a FH....nuff said!

Jen

There are a large number of signatures on this forum that voice your views...Roon's happens to voice another regarding this...

If I remove Roon's signature, I will be removing everyone elses...is that what everyone wants?
