Hey DanceQueen, welcome! I am shocked that the moderators over on SSM haven't pulled Bagheera's post yet. Back in the day of the st valentine's massacre on the SSM, the mods there deleted any post that even hinted of where everyone had gone.

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone is paying much attention to what happens over there, at least not in the SSM forum. I went back and read some old threads, and it looks like in 2003, MWD and her moderators were taking an active part in discussion threads. I imagine the book was new then and getting a lot more attention; maybe they've just moved on.
On the other hand, I always seem to miss it when the Drama Llama wanders through. Someday you'll all have to tell me the story of the Great Purge of 2008 and the DanceQueen Exit of Ought-Ten.

Oversimplifying, I think that a lot of what happened in 2008 was the result of one particular moderator, who-shall-not-be-named-because-it-can't-be-pronounced-anyway, who took a very strong dislike to NMMNG and any mention of its ideas. She thought that it would turn any male who read it into a jerk, *and* it was a competing expert with his own ideas and website. And on MWD's discussion board, we discuss MWD's books and ideas and nothing else {whip crack sound}! That particular moderator finally left active-duty sometime in 2009 and things have lightened up somewhat, but the damage was already long-done by then. -- B. |

Silly - my exit wasn't anything exciting. Just one poster really ticked me off directly, and he didn't seem like he had any intention of stopping it (even after I basically asked him to back off), so I left that area of the forum. Funny, since I've left, he has disappeared. Maybe antagonizing me was fun and without me to pick on, its boring over there?

Well, in fairness to the SSM mods (not that I liked sbtqrx, or whatever her name was), the group that became MAAN pretty much moved in and took over our section of the forum. We treated it like our own private clubhouse. Yeah, we gave great advice and were ever-so-darling, but if a group of 20 or so people moved in here as a pack (and we were a pack) and took over, it would ruffle my feathers. I wouldn't care how cute, witty, literate, and well-groomed they were. Then I'd have to remove all vowels from my name and start to kick ass, too.

Hey Jim,
Is there an easy way to add an avatar? I see it needs a URL, is there a way to drag an image in there?

Nope. You have to resize it, then upload to photobucket, then get the link code, then paste in your profile. If you don't want to bother, email me the image and I'll do it for you.

Bagheera. Thank you for your time and effort putting a village together for us. I was talking to Corri about porting the information from ftio. to a new bb when blabblahbalbh... does proboards.com have the ability to index and upload the database? If so.. is there any interest in doing so? or Shall we just leave the detritus of the old village behind? _________________________ new peeps  |

does proboards.com have the ability to index and upload the database? They don't. You get what you pay for, here.  (Actually even if I did pay, it would only eliminate the advertisements -- there aren't any porting services at all.) -- B. |

Hey all. Finally got back around to checking in on everyone on the MAAN board and all that was left was cobwebs and crickets. Thanks for the road map over here.

Hello All,
Decided to swing by MAAN after not following for a long time and see that another move has taken place.
Never really an active poster, but have been around since the days on the SSM board.
Please activate me to full member.
Thanks

Maybe because you didn't have automatically log me in enabled. Seems like some of the admin functions on the site are hosed, but the meat is still underneath, however you can't navigate to it from the top levels. I guess that means if you aren't logged in automatically you can't get to the bb.
If there is something you want me to look up or cut & paste, I can try to accommodate...

Post by Mrs. Cinco on Sept 1, 2010 16:39:45 GMT -5
This was the only thread in the Intro Section, so this is where I'm doing it!
Hello one and all~
Yes, it is I, the INFAMOUS Mrs. Cinco; She-devil in 'living-color-cyber-flesh.'
I guess I don't have to tell you much about my situation. You ALL have the advantage over me, in that you know me much better and more intimately than I know you. My contributions will be extremely limited. I am neither a good writer nor a good arguer, and have more troubles of my own rather than advice to offer -- so you probably will not hear too much from my corner.
I hope my lurking presence won't be too oppressive or intrusive feeling. Just know that I do have good reasons for being here, contrary to what you may have heard. And not to worry, I will mind my own business.
Thanks for looking!

Yes, it is I, the INFAMOUS Mrs. Cinco; She-devil in 'living-color-cyber-flesh.' Welcome, and relax, Mrs. C.  We are a support group, and our aim here is to talk about and learn how to grow individually and to strengthen our relationships. That is *not* done by tearing down anyone's significant other who isn't a part of the group. Sure, folks vent on occasion...we get that. But no one has 'demonized' you, including Cinco himself. Second, we are all very much aware that every relationship has TWO sides to it, and that we often get to hear only just one of those, giving us a subjectively skewed picture...we get that too, and try to take it into account. Finally, we are a very diversified group, with lots of perspectives and rich life-experiences to draw upon: men, women, married, divorced, no kids, some kids, many kids, from babies (the kids, not the forum members) to 'empty nesters.' You won't find any particular point-of-view dominant here, and you'll often find someone who can identify with what you're personally going through or struggling with. So relax. You are among friends. -- Bagheera |
