Tried to click Report Abuse link to tell moderators that
PENTON MEDIA is abusing members with it's Flash9 ads, but
guess what?, the Report Abuse link no worky. Big surprise.
Contracting Business and H-TALK could give a crap about the
members. Enough people will hang around to keep them happy.

All the old timers who built the reputation of this site
could go to hell as far as PENTON is concerned.

The site reputation is established, new people coming, old
heads leaving, who cares........? They don't.

I have a great idea

If you have so much to complain about and hate it here so much.. show some class, leave and don't come back.

If you can't figure out just how that is done, please let know. I can accommodate you.

You also have a second option. Stop the all the bullsh*t belly aching and site bashing it's not necessary or wanted.

[Jultzya]

Takes ya back to the main page... LOL

[Dad]

At least I don't get them anymore.

[gonefishing]

Hey Lusk, it's like I told MR. jrbenny, consider it done.

Good bye

[bigtime]

gonefishing is gone fishing

[Dad]

Great.. let me hold the door for you.... maybe you can find a little peace and quiet in another pond.

Anyone else want to join him, knock yourselves out. We don't go to the other sites and start crap or bash when upgrades are made. Ghezzzz

[Mr Bill]

Speaking of class that was a class act on getting rid of gonefishing.

[Dad]

Regardless of other opinions... there is nothing in this world that I hate more than doing that and it gives me no joy.... I also have to take his posting privileges away from him too.

After a cooling period and if he wants back in and can be nice he is more than welcome back.. he knows how to get a hold of me just like most of you.

Hit the abuse button.

[ARPA]

Side bets to as if and when he wants back?

I too have "visited" the other sites, and I am a member on some, but IMO, this is still the best one....
And the best ran one with all things considered.

[bigtime]

I cant tell much difference in the site with the new owners.

One thing I know is the same. A lot of guys working hard to keep things running smooth. Thanks moderators.

Can't argue with you there your right, I also think complaints should be done by email and "not" on the site period, it just stirs the pot and we get enough of this already.

Hey Lusker:
We got to give this guy that "special" treatment with the raise.

Was the best one... till your IE crashes every time you turn around.

This is what Gone has been stating... he didn't want to leave... he wanted Penton to resolve the problem.

He's not the only one and I'm sure there is many others that haven't spoke up yet.

It's kind of like the chat issue... we never get any replies from Penton (till it was too late). Why will they not reply to known problems?

H-Talk members make their site... why will they not help their H-Talk community? All the members are asking for is a little support.

Boy! You join the club quick. You've been a member what? 7 months, and now you an old timer?????? Sorry, us old timers already got our hats and jackets and were not printing anymore soon. Hell O'Roy just got one and he's been being a top knotch member for 2 years!

[Mr Bill]

Jultz I agree, but to list the complaint publicly might not be the best idea they should have an email address to send the complaint to, yes I feel we do have to have a thread to ask if others are experiencing these issues, but the bashing is what I think the site don't like hey you can't blame them, what most forums have is IM capability and it works great! why they don't have it here is beyond me, but hey there the "Boss"

being that the owners of this site are a publishing company, I am certain that one of the basic foundations to their ability to operate as a publisher is the freedom of speech, freedom of the press that we all cherish as american citizens.

This site has become larger than a private group of people sharing each others veiw with out consequence.

It actually now has become something legal and definitive in the fact it must uphold someone like gonefishings right to express his dissatisfaction.

I aint too sure why he is upset, but, at the same time it should be clearly understood, he does have a right to speak out, this is no longer a private arena.

To give you (and everyone else) an idea... my IE has crashed 30-40 times so far this morning due to the Flash Media problem.

I can browse other sites with no problems. This problem exists within their advertising software.

[coolwhip]

I have not noticed a difference lately. I think I only used the troll button once so Im not missin it. I do think we need a Robo button...something that will send him a mild electric shock.

Still the best site for talkin the talk.

Sure this place is running like a old soviet space craft, but so is it's members.

I have a felling someone was about to start a spam campaign.
