What is going on around here????

I totally agree with snoop and his assessment of the board. It's very obvious that Sixx's true colors have surfaced now that he's not a Mod any more. I find it hilarious that he's chosen an ominous looking avatar and tries to come across as a bad ass when in reality he's a short little fat guy with a little fucked up dick. I really have no bone to pick with anybody on this board. The total nature of this board has changed so dramatically that it's just not fun to participate in any threads anymore due to all the negativity. I have met several wonderful ladies on this board and a handful that I will continue to see regularly. I'm at a stage in the hobby that I don't want or need to see the new flavor of the month so BCD isn't that important to me any more. That only leaves discussion threads and Lord knows that's getting old as Hell sifting through the hourly Whispers Blog. I may get points or banned for my comments here but when I think about it.......

No it isnt only about Six and Whispers..Thats the whole point.It is supposed to be a Place for "FRIENDLY" exchange of infoand viewpoints..But it does seem that if those Views are not the same as certain individuals here.then it turns into a Flame war.Some individuals here are NOT capable of expressing ideas and Views without stooping to personal attacks.It is getting to be more obvious that the General consensous here has gotten Tired of it.If the Majosity of the people here want a kinder .more fun filled Enviroment they need to ALL BAN TOGETHER and steer it that way.dont let the few individuals who think they have a "GOD GIVEN RIGHT" to bash and attack everyone here get away with it..The board belongs to everyopne Not a SELECT FEW.

Amen!

Hey guys....."Not a SELECT FEW" ..... can't agree more.....but comes back to my post earlier.....contribute, make presence, show leadership.... give us that kinder more fun filled environment, I too as well like such a place, thou it is not always realistic in the real world. But whining about the nature of the board does no good.... I am very open about individuals and believe everyone in general has something to offer, but if they chose not to give what they can offer then it is useless. Show me, what you want to board to be, not whine about it and expect it to change.....

Again as mentioned above your choice to contribute and lead...but as long as you are whining your just considered in my eyes as a loser and your can't set presence and leadership...

Pick a topic that matters to you, post it on the board, be able to debate your topic, and believe in yourself and your topic....if you don't have that capability its best to stay out of it....

Just saying..........

Hey TexasQuest.....

Can you please do a favor for me?

Can you please start putting double spaces between you sentences, otherwise they seem to all flow together and is somewhat harder to get your meaning of what you are expressing. Noticed no bashing just requesting...

Thanks

LOL Sorry my Secraterial skills suck..But didnt think it WISE to have my Secretary proof read my posts here . Since she is my SO's BFF . But i will take your advice.

What is going on here? Huge ego's that need to be fed. Resentment of women. Resentment of p4p, and verbal and emotional abuse on an escort message board. If you get told something over and over like ie. your stupid, ugly, out of date, not worth your rate etc. Eventually you believe that. The more bullying the less the women speak giving the bullies what they want. It is really very sad, but the psychology behind it all is very simple. When one can see the big picture, it makes it less hurtful. Really the people that bully others should be pitied that they have such emotional problems.

Cant we steer this board in a better direction?
i mean the whole point of this hobby is fun isnt it?
Why are a "chosen" few allowed to control discussions here on the Austin Board?

Many of the members here do not like the direction of the board, lately. I agree with most of the posters that change only happens when everyone gets involved and makes change happen, just take a look at what is going on in many countries in the Middle East. However it is puzzling when someone does complain about what they perceive as negativity while themselves selecting a segment of the membership (yes Staff are members too) to constantly take shots at the Staff. Is that not the very thing that this psoter is complaining about.


I for one dont understand how this is allowable...but then again i guess i'll illicit "points" for questioning things.....


I think i'll have a session with TM...just cuz....

have a great night board....... Originally Posted by snoopdogg

Let's make sure that when we are demanding change that we are a positive force in that change. And when you think that being on Staff and being a Mod is easy, volunteer. The owners are looking for 1-2 persons to help with Moderating here in Austin.

But as a member you can steer this board in any direction you want as long as the fellow members want to go that direction as well. But sitting here and posting whinning remarks only declines your chance to set presence. Originally Posted by Woody of TX

I don't think I've ever used the red triange in the 13 months or so I've been a member, but today I've already used it twice. I'll bet it won't be that last time I use it today, either. Thanks for starting this thread, snoop.

I used to post reviews on the old board but got tired of getting critiqued all the time for leaving out info or not putting things a certain way. I may decide to do this again some day. As for friendly exchanges, I am all for it.

My problem is that once someone conveys something rude directed at me, well things can get ugly fast so better to be a somewhat silent participant.

Funny that I have at times typed up long posts to something I find offensive, hammering whoever said it, only to apply the "let me step away from this for a few minutes" policy and then ultimately deleting what I was going to say rather then ignite a powder keg.

Yes understand but when you counter act in the same tone you step to the same level and expose yourself. Why step in his or her world, stay in yours and debate that person.

Remember that "wording" sometimes comes across on the internet not as the poster wants to express if he or she was talking directly to you in person. You might be reading something in the counter reply that really is not intended, not always ... but possibly.
