I find that the age of the posters makes a difference in what is posted. I'm part of a "Sims 2" board (PC game) and kids/teens/adults/more adults are playing these games and posting their finds & questions and a lot of time there are insults flying back & forth - especially if the question has been asked & answered before "look in past posts to find your answers" But I've never found any member that's been rude or said to look through posts before asking a question - I've been & seen redirections, but that's just helpful not rude.

Yup - all points read and taken onboard.
I cant get worried as I know its a drop in the ocean and happens 1 time per year maybe.
Censorship wise - well if anyone is concerned about that - the actual **levels** have not changed only the speed of application of the same **levels** which have been present since the board started anyway.
And those levels are so minimal - I cant even compare them to a grain of sand on the sahara desert if that makes sense? Some boards Ive been to have like 5 mods and there are only 10 members!!!
Thats the truth aswell - Ive seen it - nothing like that here.
The thing is that nothing has changed in terms of **levels**. Nothing at all.
A bit hard to explain really - but thats the general idea.

Sands, you have my complete confidence. Thanks for taking on the task. Once in a blue moon there is some crap here that needs to be removed, and the sooner the better, so if you get around to it before Mark, then that is great. Good on ya'!

Poor Sands, and Mark. If Andy were here, things would be different! In regard to censorship, that is socialism. In regards to Sands being in the hot seat, I think he will probably be the last one to slice and dice a post. It is still sad however. As a few indeed commented, the non registered guests won out on a well regulated forum of its own volition. In regards to single ness of purpose, there should be a place where the newbie asks for help, and it is not put in a reference section. The newbie should be placed in front and first. The newcomer is the most important person, and we do jump to give our experience. Censorship. I think people who get "offended" by the short timers jabs need a nap. I bet Sands does absolutely nothing but give the easily offended peace of mind. He is pretty straight up. Now, Andy on the other hand. People followed him. Mark, I donno.

Doc your not liking mark??? Or do you want a blue star also (I know I want my stars to be blue instead of that Awful yellow-y color) Yea I didn't know Andy long But I liked him- He spoke rocks- Mark is a bit to -oh how do you say it- computer-y for me- But maybe sands will bring back andy from the dead??? Heck he sold me one of his grinders (do away with all material goods!) Seems that the upgrade we went through has allowed the electricals a foot hold- EVERYONE QUICK TINFOIL HATS and 9 VOLTS

Debs, didn't you know Andy? He was our former forum administrator who was absorbed by Mark. *smile*

Debs- Andy was the guy who started this whole board- He loved us and all was right- Then he "claims" his real name was Mark- and that he needed to come clean (when you download this board you may still see andy's name in the address bar- but only for a breif moment) Well This Mark guy upset alot of us and then members started to dissappear (I think Shorty was the first to go- but he came back to life!) And then they hired a new sheriff (sands) and all balance seems to be restoring!
