ATTN Mods and Admin-Forum Feedback

Well, Rino is upset that I'm still using the Olympic theme he designed, and I'll have so switch everyone off it after the Olympics anyway. Perhaps I should switch all to SMF default theme. Hopefully it'll be the last forced theme change.

If you change the banner and forum icons, I don't think he can complain anymore. :3

Works for me. Hell, I'm using the SMF default theme now. :)

Im not upset about any of that, im upset at the principal of the thing as well as the BULLSHIT explanation, i have enough stress in my life and alot of people battering at me pissing me off to the uppermost extreme, this was the last straw because no-one understands my life at all

Did I miss something?

i am going to agree with what aphinity told me last night, this forum is tearing us into groups and is mostly just people in shadows, can anyone else agree to this or am i the only one who sees this directly?

They're not your forums to tear down - they are the community's.  If you object to being a part of it, that's your decision to make for yourself and no one else.  If you have issues with continued use of assets (themes, whatever) that you may have worked on, they can be removed/replaced/etc. as needed.

Did I miss something?

Yeah, I made myself sole admin of bcfurries.com.

[Tamaska]

the support for a forum is no longer needed for bcfurries

How is that???

This forum has new things on it so fast... I cant even keep up with looking at everything

this forum is tearing everyone apart, and Rainrat is starting it just now, the support for a forum is no longer needed for bcfurries, i suggest this forum be torn down and everyone to use the yahoo groups like before where people arent always in the shadows.

that is what i think.

I don't agree with that at all - I see a bunch of people who used the Yahoo groups mailing list get passed by for more active discussions on this forum.  You start talking too fast on the mailing list and everyone screams at you for spamming - this way we can be as active as we want and sticky the important things (AND have the forum software e-mail you according to your own preferences).  Honestly I think the old mailing list is simply outdated and limiting from a software standpoint, but I'm not going to bash people for wanting to maintain it.  That doesn't mean other people don't have the right to move on to greener pastures if they desire.

Will still let the community choose direction and choose mods from the community as well though.

Heres the BS response i got

cstubbs3
you're out. thank you for your assistance

cstubbs3
my account, my rules

Okay so when have i "assisted" i worked on this forum behind the scenes for almost the entire year and shoved aside like its nothing?

And the fact you didnt bother giving any proper explanation your acting up with a childish response like "My Account My Rules" when i was doing everything for the members of BCFCB.

(No hard feelings to anyone else on the forums)


I challenge you RainRat to the utmost extreme, you think you can shove me aside like im nothing, like im no-one at all, you just used me!


I called you a friend rainrat, i told you everything you needed to know, but now your just a backstabber who used me to create the forums and take it over just for yourself, i worked together with you from the start and trusted you, i thought you were a good person, but im obviously wrong, since you did all these changes without any real explanation at all, nor any contact with any of the Moderators or myself to let us know whats really going on, nor to give your opinion, if you had been around to give your opinion i would have changed my opinion and followed yours.

Wait JUST a second here.

As much as the forums have caused harm to parts of the community, I think they've definitely done some good. It's been a great place to post more events and is certainly more accessible than the y! groups we were using previously. There has got to be a better solution than just packing this forum up. Jeez.

It isnt your forums to tear down its the community forums.

I'm perfectly fine with these forums than going back to the mailing list where I get bombarded by off topic messages and junk.

My 2cp on the issue (double-post, sorry, also biased here.)

While Rino has certainly helped set up the forum community for BC, there have been a number of questionable management choices from who was appointed to admin/mod to how posts have been modified due to rules that were -hardly- enforced.

I do thank him for creating the forums, yes. But I do think there is a time when a person should step aside when they stop being professional about the service they provide. Perhaps it's as good a time as any that leadership of the forums is changed a bit.

I'll continue to support whatever choice is made as long as it stands in the community's favour -- and that is, as far as I'm concerned, a place to network with other furs around BC in a peaceful and easy manner that's accessible to all that want to.

I'll still provide service for the @vfur twitter, along with Carthage and RainRat should they choose to continue posting to it, because I also believe that it's important to provide a variety of means for people to communicate.
