AFAIK, Fred is the ONLY mod over there. It has to be a bit overwhelming for him to moderate everything that goes on, even if it is a smaller forum. I don't know if he banned any of the long term members, but it is they who drive traffic to the site. Banning them would be shooting himself in the foot (or head depending on how the others felt about the ban). I can't help but feel that if such discussions were occurring here, the mods would nip it in the bud long before it got to the level it did at QSMB.
Thats teh part that gets me...he let it drag on, instead of stopping the first few threads. That form of experimentation has a whole other intent.

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he's a busy guy who can't monitor every thread for hours on end...

Yeah, I know, ...-u-me (mostly me)...

How does he feel about being #2? Does he hold any deep resentment towards your #1 son? Have you told him straight to his face that he's only #2? How would he feel if he saw your post?

That's soo wrong...speaking of sons my 13 yr old is coming home from dad's tomorrow yea!!!

See? You just proved my point. ;-)

You care what other people think. You care what other people do if it's right or wrong. And you'll chase them down until they UNDERSTAND. They _MUST_ understand.

You don't care what other people think about ~you~, you're not conceded like say... me.... but you certainly can't stand the misinformed. -Magnus

Your 100% correct ( but you knew that ha!) I'll take that as a Great Complement. I can't help it. It's my lot in life. It's my job. I don't know where it came from, but I'm o.k. with that today.

Pity it's not something I can plug into my PC to run my internet.

It was a joke... Sheesh! :)

It reminded me of my wife's grandma. She always calls my wife her "#2" (2nd grandchild). Makes me laugh every time. Yes, sometimes I think I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old.

My 13 yr old is the same way "right little know it all" it annoys people but ya know most of the time he is right. Yes he even gets mom at times.

My new sig file reads

" My method of quitting was using an Electronic Cigarette. It was what I found worked best for me. It is important that you find the quit method that works best for you so you can stay quit the longest. No matter how you quit, please don't give up! Your health is way too precious to take for granted."

I hope that's toned down enough for Fred.

Maybe for the next little while you could just use the last three sentences. You know, leave off the part about the eCig. :2c:

I have a feeling QSMB hasn't seen this much action in quite some time. Fred needs the traffic to justify the expense of keeping the forum running. Outright banning people lowers traffic therefore making it harder to justify.

That's all conjecture though. Fred doesn't advertise on the forum so traffic doesn't equal advertising revenue. He may very well keep it up just out of the "goodness of his heart".

The way I understand it is that when people are catfighting it makes for alot of "hits" so their benifits to all this fighting,still haven't figured out what type of so called change he was hoping for but alot of people over the past few yrs haven't been happy & maybe he figured maybe adding another quit method would just bind the 2 groups together somehow....

Ughhh John you're advertising... I don't think I've even seen anyone else put their method in their cig. JMO... I luv ya but I think you should leave the method out.

Ouch.. hey.. do I come across as a know it all? If so, I don't mean to do that...

Not to me no... I can't speak for anyone else... Nick is very tenacious about proving his oint...if he's right he doesn't back down... and of course he usually is so you can see how others would be bothered.

But I love my little know it all (don't tell him I called him little). I am proud he's smart he just need to learn tolerance also.

Pity it's not something I can plug into my PC to run my internet.

That reminds me of a funny college story. Years ago I ran a large campus network and we were building out a new Engineering department. It was storm season and the power was knocked out of the building, the building deisel generators failed to launch, and power was dead.

Students are pouring out into the hallways like a sweatshop bust.

It's PITCH BLACK. There is NO power, emergency lights are barely adding any visibility.

This one student goes "I think it's just the UNIX workstations that are out."....

I looked at it in the dim dim hallway and said "Because the rest of your computers run on will-power?".......

He never did get it. -Magnus
