vigorous debate and poll over whether the creator's use of a center pic of bree in "the unthinkable happened" video, and posting the video from daniel on bree's account was legitimate. "Creators Resort to Cheap Tricks?" www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4645

Well Milo you may think it is a "phun phorum" topic but the moderator there thinks it is has been discussed quite enough and planss to lock it. And, due to my comment about his (Broken Kids) heavy handed moderating style. I have been told not to "stir up dissention" and he feels that "I ...have a beef based on past experience" [and yes for those who may ask I did tell him I was once SLainte and that I would be happy to rewume posting as such so as not to be accused of what you guys call being a "sockpuppet"
We'll see how things work out...I'll keep you posted. But really we know no good will come of this.

it's already locked, slaig. brokenkid loves to lock the "controversial" threads, which pretty means the ones which are fun to read and actually join in the debate.

Huh, I am surprised they are locking it.
Does anyone remember the phorum exodus? As I remember it, there were two main reasons that people wanted to leave the phorum. The first, and the reason why I left and the reason this board was founded, was to have a place that was moderated, controlled and organized so we could discuss LG. The new phorum has more than satisfied this old fault, and that is likely why its rebirth was a success.
The second reason that a lot of people left the phorum was because they felt it was over moderated - that Bukanator was trying to prevent people from finding the truth and was deleting and silencing posters to stop people from talking about certain subjects. Although at times Buka did delete a thread or two, or combined threads making it much more difficult to find old information, I never felt he was activity trying to stop discussion of topics that he did not like.
I’m not so sure I could say the same about the current phorum. I see threads locked a lot, and often for no other reason than to just force people to move onto a new topic. All the mods I worked with seemed like nice people and trust me working with some of the people at the phorum can be very tiresome. I believe they are doing what they think is in the best interest of M&M. But the problem is the site should be about what is in the best interest of the fans. I wonder if it will ever reach another tipping point and people will flood to a new site in pursuit of the freedom of a site run for the people.

Is it ok with everyone if I resclaim "Slainte"? I understand about the soockpuppet thing and I don't want to confuse everyone by switching again.... I kinda like the name It is Gaelic for "Cheers/Good health!" an Irish toast (the avatar is acuatally the print I made for my Tattoo).
I wont do it again

Send a private message to Terry and I bet he can make it so. I haven't exploded yet myself and I want a "safety" in case I do...

Glad to hear more are jousting at the phorum. I can be somewhat interesting at times and does make for occasionally mischievous hijink adventures into absurdity. I think TWJ and company may be taking themselves a little too seriously and they could use a little mischief to liven things up.
Damm I miss our Journalist friend, his wit was razor sharp and dead on. Especially on all matters phorum related...
Not only is Milo a Sage, but he is listed as a musical artist in the LGPedia! (see above paragraph)
