I have tried to make people laugh. If breaking up the monotony around here is a bad thing then chastize me. Oh If 5% of my posts are only geared at helping others then that's fine if that's all this site is about. I enjoy laughing, and I think it's nice to share things with others. See the nog thread that Ray posted. I am a light hearted guy, and a few of you on here have constant negative criticisms concerning EVERYTHING, and it got old, so I backed down. If you think it was a power trip for me, you are sadly mistaken. Now the people that like to run around accusing the board of foul play at every turn should be either banned, or forced to run for the board so they just shut up and see how it is while on it. I personally could care less about people that are on this site for the wrong reasons.

YES, my signature says to donate money, and it shouldn't annoy anyone, why? BECAUSE THAT MONEY IS HOW WE GET AWESOME PEOPLE TO COME AND SPEAK FOR US. Y'all act like tha board lines their pockets, lol. That is just garbage. I will say this, on this site with all of the animosity, y'all should pay the members of the board for having to listen to all of the complaints. THINGS DO NOT GET FIXED OVERNIGHT. The board is made up of volunteers. They don't work 8 hours a day striving to make the site better, this is a part of their hobby that they have taken one step further.

These guys play good cop/bad cop in all of their posts. They criticize the board and praise them in the same sentence. I can only pray that they will not take offense to every decision the board makes for the board and this site's sake.

STOP CRITICIZING AND HELP.

thank you for the explanation, but in light of the current progress we are making, i am closing this thread to give the board a chance to work on the problems at hand without dealing with another flare up.
