We need a private message function here.

I agree!

I agree, let’s talk to administration in this section also. Some threads in the Suggestion area were started by Admin, tho, also here.

I’m all for a PM system.

Admin: you jumped pretty quick when it was pointed out that you weren’t doing your job from a marketing perspective.

Now that we have corrected that, howzabout you take a look at the PM issue. Although it probably wasn’t your intent, you’ve managed to set up a pretty viable, interesting forum, and I’d hate to see something like that go away because a roomful of corporate fucktards with a laptop, projector, and half- assed, graphic intense, boring- ass PowerPoint presentation can’t make a decision.

Jump to it, boys, and make it quick. The market demands it. And you know markets- they’ll jump ugly and slit your throat with a rusty Barlow knife if you don’t comply with their needs.Do I need to reiterate 2nd year business school “give your customers what they demand” bullshit? I think not. We’ve heard too much of that, I’m thinking.

You owe me consultant fees for this, BTW. I’m pulling together an invoice; I need your billing info. You’ve got admin privledges, you therefore have my email address. Contact me. I have a plan for making this forum a Godzilla of theological discussion.

B.S. in Marketing, BTW, back when business actually knew what marketing was, rather than a department of brain- dead, drooling young yuppies performing mailroom functions. And, we don’t even need to dive to the depths of discussing how a young MBA can fuck up a wet dream. Hell, todays bright young, MBA is tomorrows CEO who knows squat about business. Yeah, yeah, this ain’t the boardroom, and I’m fresh out of patience.
But, it’s late, and we don’t need to discuss this now. I’m fueled by scotch, and I despise the corporate incompetency and tendency towards grabasstic tendencies. And we all know about that, don’t we? That which is killing American business as we speak. Incompetency and madness.Especially incompetency, and you know that I know that you know that I know what I mean.

Admin and Mod on several forums. Contact me if you want to know how this is supposed to work.

Next day:

Yowza. Sober now. I hope I cleaned it up before anyone read it. The last time I went into a well- reasoned, well written diatribe against corporate idiocy, with that many F- bombs, I got moved to the top of the layoff list.
Hey- no balls, no glory.

HEY!!! That still doesn’t let you maroons off the hook. PM function. We demand it.

Mercy, Satol, We are already the Godzilla of theological discussion sites, I don’t know if i wanna be successful, I’m frightened, hold me!
Well, I’m just high, what can I say, pot makes me apathetic. So, Admin, we demand whatever Sotolkin says, so there! Apathy be damned!

There ya go, Admin. Koo says whatever Satol says goes, and by G-d, that makes me liason between this beautiful, motley bunch, and you standoffish corporate fucktards. JUMP TO IT, I say. We say “PM function,” you say, “how high?”

Well, OK, that doesn’t work, but you know what I mean.

Yeah, they better not say it to me, tho!

TW…we know where the bodies are buried…word to the wise…sorted

We hear you. We are considering this request. This forum is meant to encourage public discussion and we’d like to keep moving in that direction. We are also concerned with the safety and privacy of our members, particularly those that may be under 18.

Understood. In fact, I hadn’t thought about that- we do have a few under 18 here. I withdraw my request- that’s bad liability juju.

BTW, I’m seeing the movie on New Year’s. As a Matheson/ I am Legend/ Last Man on Earth/ Omega Man freak, I’m going to do a review here.

You Time- Warner doods better have done good, or there’ll be hell to pay. :)

Hey, Admin, I realize that you are keeping an eye on things around here. Can we find a way to “pick a forum” where we can contact you? (whether or not you reply, that’s fine) Right now, it’s a bit ragtag, I really didn’t expect you to turn up over here (though obviously Satol did). I will continue to monitor the forums where you have shown up before, but it would be a little easier if we chose one forum instead of the many.

We monitor all the forums. We have set up the “About this site” section primarily for this purpose. We will address some of the other concerns expressed there later this week. That is the place to let us know how to make this site better for you.

OMG, they replied to me personally, that’s a first. As they said, let’s move comment to the “About this Site” section. Okay with you all?

Sounds good, Kookoo.

And Satol… ouch. Remind me to never ignore your e-mails if and when you’re on a site I administer. ;-)

Your photo contest is fraudulent it specifically states in the rules no publicly posted image, or image not created by the contest can win. Yet you chose a winner that used a image stolen from a website. This is bullshit. You do not have the rights to my photo because the terms agreed to were broken by this website. I would love to see you use any of these images for any marketing or profit, then I will be winning a prize, IN COURT.

RickyTan, it is the responsability of he who enters the contest to agree to the rules.

Now that it has been brought to their attention, the admins are looking into the subject, and the final results of the contest may change if it is discovered that the contest winner broke the rules of the contest.

rickytan vs. TIME-WARNER…I think I can guess where this will end…

rickytan, welcome to the site. Could you move further comments to the Photo Contest section of the forums? That will help us keep track of comments about the contest without having to check so many other forums. I am sorry that you are so upset. These seem to be nice people who started this thing. Let’s give them a chance to check things out. OK?

Also, you are welcome to start your own thread about this, you have the power! (lol)

How dare you insult our gracious hosts at Time- Warner! Why, without them…....sorry. Just can’t do it. <snort>

Dude, you’re gonna sue Time- Warner? Over a contest for electronic garbage? C’mon. Buy the stuff, if you really must have it. It’ll be cheaper than what you’ll pay an ambulance- chaser to lose a lawsuit against a large corporation.

That’s assuming, though, that Time Warner would actually back this. Viral marketing being what it is, companies are more likely to disavow any knowledge of the site, leaving a poor mid-level marketing wonk holding the bag.

Damned good point. Marketing wonks tend to be pretty expendable.

Then you’re saying that life isn’t fair…?

I know it isn’t fair…but why can’t it be unfair in my favor at least once???

that sounds fair…
