I've been trying to stay quiet through this whole issue, but I wanted to raise some points. In my mind, the Mac community has already lost a valuable resource. When Mac users are resorting to name calling and fighting amongst themselves, it is not a valuable resource. I am leaving this...

That's a very well said piece, evildan. But there's one thing that I have to point out. The protesters in your example left no trace behind. Which you inferred as a mutual respect. This is not the case here. The whole issue was initiated due to a lack of respect. Admin did not respect...

Jadey's posts were an honest review of Press3. Some good, some bad. Admin deleted them, and banned sithious when he asked about them. Then Admin put full moderation in place. I think you missed that part, Kris. Every single post to the boards had to be approved by a moderator. Posts...

Agreed. benpoole, you just don't get it.

I'm giving the place a week. I think Admin's idea of a week off is a good one. We'll see how it goes when I get back.

No, I can't find my deleted posts. I, too, will leave MacOSX.com for a week. If my post here about what has happened remains intact, I might stay. But I really enjoy the other two forums, MacOSXHints.com and MacFora.com -- so I'll definitely be staying there at least. Come see us.

OK, one hurdle down. When I left this afternoon, I had 1580 posts. Now I have 1577. What was deleted...? I'll post if I can find out.

OK, let's try this again. Call me a liar. This might be my last post on MacOSX.com This is the story. Jadey posted some reviews, both positive and negative, about Press3. Admin deleted them. Sithious questioned the deletions. Admin banned him. I attempted to ask the same questions...

No, that's freaking annoying. Now IE is doing the same thing. Can we downgrade to the last version of vBulletin? It appears that there is a significant delay between me pressing submit and the post actually showing up... Edit: Just read the site notice. Nevermind.

This is a test of the Nkuvu broadcasting system. Due to recent events, this is my last post on MacOSX.com. Please contact me at nkuvu@mac.com or nkuvu@yahoo.com I'd like to keep in touch with the members here.

There behind the glass is a real blade of grass. Be careful as you pass, move along, move along. Heh. Couldn't resist either...

Oh yeah? Check this out: [Aliens:~] nkuvu% uptime 9:36PM up 12352 days, 13:10, 2 users, load averages: 3.10, 1.21, 0.84 [Aliens:~] nkuvu% Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! 33 years on OS X! Beat that! What? No, I didn't change my system clock. That'd be stupid. Huh? Well...

But don't go distributing your programs just yet. The 'Hello World' program is a little on the small side... ;) Yes, this post is meant to be funny!

I can't help it. Every time I see George W Bush's picture, all I can think of is that "Separated at birth?" photo with George posing next to a chimp... I can't take him seriously at all. I just start laughing when I see his face. :)

This is the point where you bring up an interesting topic for people to discuss. That's how threads survive. If we don't have something to talk about (that isn't really covered already in another thread), we won't post. I'm still waiting for you to tell me where I was posting insanely, by...

O'Reilly is fantastic for beginners. Just try the "Learning" books instead of the "Programming" books. For example, "Learning Perl" gets you up to speed on how to program in Perl. "Programming Perl" offers a brief refresher, then goes way past the "Learning" book.

You should have posted that to the movie quote thread, Ed. It needs a boost of rejuvenation juice... It takes a unique sort of person to be able to ignore interruptions. I'm not one of them. I always stop what I am saying. What's more, I won't continue. No no, you interrupted me. That...

Just have to add in my two copper plated zinc bits. Software developers today are under huge pressures to release software quickly -- management makes outrageous timelines, and is surprised when the software takes longer. As most of us know, the first product available on the software market...

And if all of your communication is through online forums, you're safe. If you're anywhere near normal you converse with one other person (via phone or face to face) at least once a day. But then again, we're talking about xoot here, so... :rolleyes: :p

Uh, the bidding "Starts at: US $80,000.00" perhaps? Or why did Paramount get rid of it? Come on, it's a naugahyde cover... blech. ;) I say, that's a joke! You're supposed to laugh, son!
