He really isn't. The mods do run this place like a daycare center. But don't take that to mean I'm complaining about it. I can't even imagine how many posts must get deleted before I see them. There are benefits and drawbacks as with any situation like this.

Its the whole thing though. TA has given us so much, for FREE. Swamper has spent Alot of time and money on the site, the servers and stuff... And it was wrong to say stuff about people and the site behind peoples backs. If you dont like the site, tell swamper direct. If you dont like the mods, tell them direct.
I'm not getting at you...and i dont know the whole story...but nothing allows the fact that you said things behind someones back. |
This is a wonderful place and I love it wholeheartedly. I love the international feel, the music, and the community. The people you meet here are one of a kind. We really do take for granted how well the moderators keep this place clean. It is very rare for me to come across any "griefers" or trolls. That's because the moderators are quick to let these people know they are not welcome here. What you're left with are legitimate users with a legitimate environment to interact in. You'll be hard pressed to find any similar online community that manages to do this so well.
With all that considered it is hard to complain, but that's never stopped me before. Sometimes the moderators do take it a little too far. It would also be nice to have more reciprocity involved in the relationship. This place is run with an iron fist, we're told what to like, what's acceptable, no if-ands-or-buts, their way or the highway, if you don't like it don't come back. This is all communicated purely through observation. Swamper and his army of moderators lurk in the shadows, whos actions can only be speculated on. Its rare to have them explain what they do or why they do it and be damned if they ever ask for your opinion on the matter, regardless of how long you've been a member.
Admittedly, it is their call, but it would be nice if there was some way the fan base could come to a sense of closure knowing they can contribute to the betterment of the community they have come to love other than just being here. (5 points to anyone who can find the donation link) All due props to Swamper and the work he does to keep everything going. However, it is a fact of life that it can come off as arrogance when a leadership figure chooses to ignore his followers rather than address them and keep them up-to-date. We're told there is a Version 2.0 of TA on it's way, but what does this entail, how soon should it be expected, what can we do to help? What about the future of TA? It is obvious that the site is growing, but can anyone say with any certainty where it is going? Are there plans to keep it small or will we explode and seek more exposure? Seeing as much time as I devote to it, I am interested to know. It becomes rather frustrating when these questions go unanswered without any inclination to why. Thats enough for now, I'm surprised if you've made it this far anyways.
P.S. Yes, many of you are geeks and many times continue to amaze me to how much of a degree this is true. |

i read all this.
and no, it doesnt have a reeeal thesis, its a juble of thought out thoughts... very well thought out thoughts, which entail most semi-intelligent users heads at least once and while
if you dont think these thoughts, it doesnt mean you arent intelligent it just means you live in a happy go lucky forum world, where little is questioned, and it doesnt matter anyways.
i wonder how many of my posts have been deleted? |

| Ummm...yeah...drama in the local forum. :wtf: All I know is that my posts used to get edited and deleted by our former mod and ever since we've had our new mod I haven't really had a problem. I think he might have annoyed me once with something he wrote to me, but I don't think it was intentional. The whole ATL vs FL ordeal is bull. I don't have any problems with anyone from ATL. |

I have nothing against sheep. It's just an ongoing joke the Aussies have about New Zealand. You see there are billions of sheep in New Zealand & it is beleived that NewZealanders have more sheep partners than human partners. ;)
Example joke:
An Aussie journalist was in New Zealand doing stories where he saw a Kiwi farmer doing unnatural things with a sheep. He approached the Kiwi and firstly asked, "What sort of sheep is that?" He scribbled down the farmer's reply - "a Merino". The next question was, "Do you shear them?" The farmer replied hastily, "No! Go and find yer own!" (You'll need to know how a Kiwi's accent sounds to appreciate this joke!) |
