I really don't see much difference in this design or Jim's. But did notice his had a variance in avatar design for those(like me) who lack the way to insert our own photos. But as long as this forum sticks around I'll be OK. Whitefang

Jeez....
I'd have thought there'd be more response. Whitefang

I'm fine with it as is now. I also don't see much difference from Jim's initial layout. It would be nice to have more members and postings. I invited folks but no real response there. Most were already into other forums and many also on various Facebook music pages.

I've tried Facebook music pages. Believe me, these type of forums are much better. Much less Facebook "types" on them.

Seems the No's have casted their own vote. The majority prefers things quiet, which after seeing the dwindling number of guests who visit this forum. Oh well, I'll consider what to do about this myself next week. Just been accepted on The Blindman's Blues Forum today.

I think it's funny that you posed the question as an either/or, didn't give another option (there are many ways to set up a forum), phrased the two options this way or that, and then, when most votes disagreed with you, considered them No votes. Read your poll again. "No" wasn't a choice as written.
Tell me, because I don't have a memory for these things, and also because my recollection was that Jim changed the design of this forum several times himself, what do you consider how Jim originally designed this forum? What would this place look like if it was set up that way now?

And as the poll question dealt with the layout of the forum. I don't see how the majority preferring the way it is now is a "no" vote. Whitefang

Most forums respect that any Poll only invites someone's vote, but not their comments which most consider disrespectful and rude. However, since some men have and behave like a woman, wanting to have the last word: Must be some Man fling (thing) who don't like the idea some woman could redesign and prevent their forum gathering cobwebs, i.e. they got one foot in the grave.

French man Rene won't be returning on here, his Blindman's Blues Forum soon becoming another dying online empire. Hence the breakaway forum I menionted in another post, Paul you are warmly welcome to join and post your great synth youtube posts on there. Less, dbm whom nuked Jim's former forum: (guitarplayersforum.boards.net) without warning any other members. Karl Henning won't return here, he sadly passed away: Good Music Guide. Glad you liked my music post on World of Guitars George. There seems to be more Chiefs (Moderators) than active Indians on here, reason guests won't join this forum. Admin aka Pistol Pete. No idea why you see yourself an American when you live in Stafford, England? Nottingham Forest no longer exists, perhaps you like showing your Sherrif avatar badge to keep white thong here from misbehaving. Time you grew up and become a mature man - most forums like Haven don't permit anyone from having more than one user account! Hence, you shall see from their own footer statistics how popular they are, highest popularity from all ProBoards' music forums. I neither serve any master in my household nor online, so you now have one less member on here - me. | I got another invitation to join another lively Music Forum yesterday, so bid all you head banging guitarists: |
Farewell

Not only do I NOT have a thong, I'm also not a "head banging" guitarist.
And I'm not sure who the "deleted" up there is, By the style, I know it isn't the other "deleted" I know of from here. But does remind me of some oddity from another forum I once was in. And judging by his parting "emoji" I'm probably right. Whitefang

It's funny, Poster Formerly Known as Bluegene wanted this forum to be back to the way Jim Pate set it up, but it was Jim himself who had two accounts, his personal account and the admin account which now belongs to Pistol Pete.
Poster Formerly Known as Bluegene has left the building. What a shame. Isn't it funny how they started out all high and mighty, and then when things didn't go their way they got really crappy and pissed all over everyone? Say that crap to our faces, you're so tough.
I even asked a legit question because I wanted to spark a real discussion about what could be improved about the forum, but Poster Formerly Known as Bluegene didn't even bother to respond because they clearly only wanted their way.
Where I am right now is whether to a) leave this thread as is and possibly lock it, b) delete the offensive last post by Poster Formerly Known as Bluegene or edit it, or c) nuke the thread entirely. I'm willing to entertain opinions from users and other mods.

Ah, so you're telling us that post a couple back was HIM? Jeez....the guy does seem to have some issues. Plus, I never had any problem with him before, and no ill will, so I wonder what was up with that "Whitefang wearing his thong" comment and the bit about my "only two front fangs left" stuff. As for locking or "nuking" the thread, I'd rather it be done with fair warning ahead of time, and not until all remaining members have been heard from. In the meantime.... Have a great Christmas, if you don't chime in here until after. Whitefang

The person who started the thread, as well as who posted on 1 and 8 December was Poster Formerly Known as Bluegene. I am assuming the post from 14 December was Poster Formerly Known as Bluegene as well, though the tone reminded me of another poster who wanted things changed and got huffy as well. All three posts come from different IP addresses so there's no help there.
I would prefer if the forum software didn't mark the poster as Deleted like that so we could keep track. We have a bunch of posts from Deleted but not the same person. I don't know if there's a way to dig into it.
Happy holidays to you, too 'fang!
