I can't speak 100% for Spikey, but from what I understand, she's done. She has bigger and better plans. Stay tuned or PM me!![]()
yes I have been around a bit . hehe. but this forums the only one i have been reasonably active on from the start.
Why ? because the forum was how it was..seems lately it's got just like "any other forum"
the openess of this forum was what kept me interested..

And I'm willing to bet you AT LEAST...hold one...lemme dig through my pocket...
uuuhm...AT LEAST 1 dollar and 68 cents (U.S., of course) half an egg-sandwich and a fresh cup of coffee that things will return to a very close facsimile of what they were, before, once the smoke clears and all of the rubble is moved out of the way.
I believe that 100%
That's great for Spikey. I think she's an awesome chick and wish the best for her, here or anywhere else.
SJ , You may wish to make some room in your pm inbox, seems members can't PM you because of it.
Any other method of contact except the PM method you could share ?
I hope so terra , really i do...
btw..you sure that coffee is fresh ? i hear your a little cheap![]()
If she werent banned she would be if she caught you calling her a chick
there's no doubt about it ECF has got bigger... but thread rants are just
the same as the old days.... so why over moderation?
its gone from anything goes too type on egg shells!
back in the day when dusty and cashmere were the
only working modders,poster could debate, rant,take the pxss and the
only intervention would be when threads got nasty.
now its turned into a nanny forum !
hehehe, yeah, she'd beat me.
TT......The only thing we have to fear is fear itself! I would never be afraid to ask a question here,as long as it is presented in good taste.This forum was started with people just like you and me asking questions.I really don't think there are any "Strong Armed Tactics" happening here,just missunderstandings and a possible need for a more well developed sense of humor.If you can't say it with a smile,then its not worth saying!I can understand moderation. But strong arm tactics are not the way to go. For me personally I am afraid to ask a simple question for fear it will be taken as "bashing or questioning mods" and a ban will be issued. Moderation should not make people afraid to ask questions.
Perhaps you should re-read this thread and take it all in...I think most of this has been addressed.
I'll be back in half an hour, folks...Gotta go get me some Ghostbusters for X360!
TDM.....How many wheels do you have on that truck anyhow???LOLSO if insulting someone on purpose gets you 24 hours banning then shouldn't you, EVEN BEING A MOD, be banned for purposely insulting someone??
If you are true to your word that nobody is above the rules then you will voluntarily allow yourself to be banned for 24 hours.
It's only right!!
+1 , maybe kick off the jackboots for a bit and slip on some moccasins ( more comfy anyways ) that's a suggestion by the way , not a bashI can understand moderation. But strong arm tactics are not the way to go. For me personally I am afraid to ask a simple question for fear it will be taken as "bashing or questioning mods" and a ban will be issued.

yep modding is a thankless task no doubt but If I joined in the past 3 months It probably wouldn't bother me as much, I also wouldn't have hung around so much either. Like SJ says it's mostly us old timers ( with no lives ) that know what it was like before the member boom off 2009...ahh , those where the daysWiηgC¤mmαηdεя;357199 said:From what I can see this is SmokeyJoe's forum and the people that are moderating the forum are doing what was asked of them. A open call for moderators was made and answered by those that had the time and inclination to do the work needed to ensure that the forum stays civil and followed the TOU(which I must take time to reread LOL).
Congratulations to all our new Mods and I know this must be as trying on you all as it is on forum members,especially as the forum grows with new members. Best of luck to all of you.
I do hope spikey does decide to come back, I enjoyed her videos and impute but ultimately we all make our own decisions.
Well this horse has been beat so much, the maggots have moved in. Terra, you've already said things are not like they were in the beginning and won't be again. So I'm afraid you'll lose your bet.And I'm willing to bet you AT LEAST...hold one...lemme dig through my pocket...
