| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01  | I know that perhaps my silence over the last few hours has been somewhat conspicuous. The truth is that I am in the middle of some serious personal issues and have really not had the time or the focus today to take hold of this situation. I won't lie, my mind is really very far off on matters that are much more pressing. I have however read through the threads today and spoken to several people about their take on matters. I will not rehash the history, it seems that too many people are doing that as it is. I am not going to sit here and argue over Kid's banning, Seph's leaving, or any other members who have decided to take a walk. Life goes on. Unfortunately today's events detracted from a very big moment in the lives of some of us who are working on the new Over the Limit site. That I regret, as it is has been a large work in progress for quite some time. But that's a separate issue altogether. I want to say this much though. For those of you who are unhappy, feel free to walk. There's no reason to post that you're leaving. Just go, and if you decide to come back feel free. This is not a prison, you can come and go as you wish without having to punch a timeclock. This site is changing. There are changes being made in policy and on the technical end. But change is slow, that I will admit. There are things that I am willing to work on, there are other things I am not so open to. But those are matters that the mods & I are discussing and putting into action as we see fit. To say that we are preserving the status quo is an insult to the hard work that FTL & Slash are putting into the new code, or to the many suggestions and ideas that have been made and discussed. You can sit here and cry over what has happened and who has left, or you can be happy that this site still can be an outlet and a fountain for creativity, humor, and friendship. Stop judging by the past and look to the future. We're not going any place any time soon. This site has never been built on the back of one member, moderator, or admin. This site is built on the foundation of the whole, of everyone.  I believe in the Faith... that can save me. I believe in the hope and I pray... That someday it may raise me... above these badlands Over The Limit | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Froy, you can comment on whatever the hell you want obviously. I don't think anyone is rioting saying, 'We deserve an explanation, Froy!' Some people might be a little lost, but all they had to do was read the post. As per all the shit that's happening with you.. godspeed. I have faith your life will get better if you just take care of yourself. Take it easy... kick back, relax, and vent a little bit about it. You don't have to do it on a public forum, but at least to a personal confidant or someone whom you care about. Hey, I felt a shitload better when I posted in the FU thread.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Alright ive give my take on this. First off, to all those drama queens (Sep, Maynard, etc)...Get the Fuck out and stay the fuck out. I dont post much in Off Topic or General Discussion, but i sure as hell read the shit. Everyone talks about how the board is dying and how we should all jump ship. Well, the board is what each person makes of it. The people who talk trash about the board dying are the people who are leaving today, so to that i say GOOD RIDDANCE!! Dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Too many politics go on around here, and to me, i see this day not as a bad one, but as a refreshing one, because now some of the negativity is leaving the board. The people that post their farewells only want attention and pity. I mean, why the fuck else would you post something like that. If i ever left a messageboard, i wouldnbt tell anyone about it, mainly because nobody should care that much that 1 person is leaving. We sure as hell dont need replacements for the departed, rather lets flush the negativity down the toilet for good, and move on.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jul. 01 | Attention Whore Here: I've wanted to leave, but can't. You people are a part of my lives, the ones I like and the ones that hate me. No matter what, I partied with you, I talked with you, I've cried to you, I've offered advice, everything I would do reguardless if I met you in real life or not. Yes, this board has taken a lot out of me as well. The fight with a certain member caused me much... frustration. But the good outnumbers the bad. Yeah, I made awesome friends on here, and they know who they are. I've also made my enemies as well, which bothers me, but goes with the territory. One of the last things I have to say is from what I read in this very thread: "this site still can be an outlet and a fountain for creativity, humor, and friendship." I disagree, because those very things are what we get banned for.

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 01 | quote: I couldn't agree more. I've made some wonderful friendships on this board, in real life, and even some I solely talk to online. Even if no one posted on the board for 2 days, I'd still go and look every time I was online. I'm addicted, lol. I just wish everyone could see it for a message board and not life. It will never matter to me how slow or boring the board may get.  I LOVE THE MORON | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Speaking for myself, I enjoy coming to this board. Unfortunately, in recent months there has been a totalitarian-autocratic abuse of power by Moderators. People have been banned left and right over petty disagreements and regrettably, people have found themselves being forced to hold back from voicing their true opinions & criticisms for fear of being banned or getting a malicious status. The Board is not dying because of the members, there needs to be a reformation on Moderator Conduct.  AIM me This message was edited by windowlck on 1-15-02 @ 12:49 AM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: May. 00 | i just simply come here to chill. my life doesn't reolve around this place. its been true that some people have always taken this board to the extreme. those 5 may have left, but to me it isn't the end of the world. this board will remain fun and those who cry over a internet message board can leave if they wish. this board has been through some hellish times before, but that wont stop me from coming here to have fun. besides the board needs "JustLent" at the board events to take pics:)  - AIM:roweLENTless2001 | ||||

If you end up with ANY status... Good or bad... At least someone took notice of you... Just have FUN... There aren't THAT many rules here... They are painfully easy to follow... As for the people that left... Yes... I will miss them... But, they had to do what they had to do... That's that.  Sluggo667PROUDAMERICAN!!! It is written, I have spoken.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I'll stand by my fellow mods and say there hasn't been a single person banned without VALID reason. These reasons may not always be explained in the open, for all members to see, but sometimes that's just the way it has to be. If a member has been banned, they know why. And if they don't, there's always the appeals@opieanthony.com email. And if you're fucking scared of your status, come on, give me a break. If your status means that much to you, you probably shouldn't be here in the first place. RottenVinny finally got that hint, and he is THE perfect example of it. If you're holding yourself back to avoid a status, why are you here? You come here to fear the mods? And why would anyone fear their status so much anyway? Do they just KNOW they're a tool? They just know that they're gonna say something that makes a mod put something in? Come on, anyone that knows ANY of the mods on even the slightest personal level knows that they're just regular posters who happen to have the ability to do things that not everyone can do. If you ARE a tool, you're branded as such. If you say something stupid, yeah it might bite you in the ass. That's not just the board, that's life. Sit back, enjoy the ride, don't sweat the stupid bullshit.... it's the only way you're going to have ANY fun.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | OK, from time to time an elder needs to step in and guide the children in the right direction. Seeing as I probably got the elder thing locked up, all I can say is, "Get a life people!" People have come and gone all the time here. Nothing new. Many of the recently departed might be missed, but others will take their place. Reading some of these threads, I see people shedding tears over Kids banning. Well too fucking bad. I have never seen anyone on this board forgiven for his actions as much as Kid. He was a great contributor but when he was in his "my shit doesn't stink" mentality, he pissed everyone of you off. I just hope Froy doesn't give in and let him back. And don't forget, those that have cried their eyes out that I'm leaving, boo hoo, I'm never comming back, are lurking here reading this board every day. They are chomping at the bit to post their I'm back thread, just trying to find some way to justify their return. So shed no tears. Do what you enjoy doing here. Leave if you want to. We all get pissed from time to time. Hell, I was pissed about my balloon not status. He was one person that made my skin crawl. But I got over it. Will this board die? If the show doesn't promote it the way they used to before syndication, probably. But maybe, just maybe if we give Anthony some reason to believe in this board, it just might make a comeback. So Seph, Sean, AM, Maynard, farewell. You have always been enjoyed here, and you probably will be enjoyed when you come back again. Well Maynard we wont enjoy you in the way you want us to, but hey, we all can't be gay.  American Patriot, Pennsylvania resident, but original NYC listener. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | Bravo FTL and Sluggo, Bravo. If your that worried about what people think of you, then you might as well go and hide under the covers of your bed for the rest of your life. It's only a status people! Say what you want, but there are far more important things to think about. And as far as the people leaving goes, there is nothing wrong with a good purge every now and then.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jul. 01 | To comment, yes some people take this message board too seriously, myself included. But... it's healthier than heroin. ~*~*~ I'm not ready to leave yet, I just rearranged the furniture ((obs ref)) ~*~*~ And guess what, to those who think it's "just a message board" -- yeah, at times it is, but at other times, I'm EXTREMELY glad I know these people ((especially when getting kicked out of the house)) and that they give a damn about me. And guess what, on or off the board, I know who I'll defend who I won't. Sorry, I'm just a loyal person, guess thats why I haven't jumped ship.
