I've never been on one where they bitched about the Maccaboard. It is so nice to be censored and I hope someone reads all my posts here and reports them over there. It doesn't matter what I say here about that board, but it may matter what I was told in a PM through that board. Again, thanks Andy and Fiona for giving us a forum where we can speak our minds. |

Right, but this board allows guests to read posts here. I would prefer if this board didn't allow guests, but instead require people to join if they want to read what is being posted here. Some of the other boards are by invitation only, but this one is open to anyone who wants to join. I was invited to join one of those boards a couple of years ago and it wasn't very pleasant at times with some of the comments that I read there. It was fine with me when I wasn't asked to join the board that eventually replaced that board. I don't think of this as a place to b*tch at the MaccaBoard but as a place to have the kinds of interaction I used to be able to have with some people there, although it was nice to have it here when I needed to b*tch about something that happened to me over there this weekend!! The forum that I posted on most of the time over there is gone now, but I still post on some threads on other forums there with some people who have not joined here. Chad, refreshing is the word that Non used to describe this board when she told me about it. |

For the record, I would hate to think of this message board as just somewhere people come to b*tch about the Maccaboard - this is a fully fledged Beatles message board & this is just one (albeit very popular) thread here. I'd also like to believe, even just two-and-a-half weeks into this board's life, that even if 'Talk More Talk' came back, people would still come here. Maybe not everybody, but I think we've got something different going on here. I know it's a lot more positive here - whether that's just to do with the fact that we're in our honeymoon period or not, I don't know, but it's an encouraging start.

Well Andy, you've got one very happy boardie in me, even if the TMT forum does return I'll still be here with you. I hope you won't mind! I don't look at this thread as a venting thread...I think most of it so far has been input by the war-wounded, or at least that's how it is for me. But there is alot of positive energy here between the people, and I think it's exactly what we've needed. We can speak our minds respectfully on just about any topic. That IS refreshing! Merry

Well, here's another clue for you all, the Walrus was Paul...
|
I didn't come here to complain about the PM board...(well, ok...I didn't like being treated like a child who didn't know better) but I came here for the company and the intelligent conversations that your members bring here. There have been a lot of honest opinions...and I haven't seen any of the tension and bickering that I have seen (still) on the other board. I still post on PM...and whether TMT comes back (and I must admit the board is a bit...dull...without it) or not...I hope that I am always welcome here.

Sorry Molly, I wasn't trying to single you out just to use your post as an example. What I have read is A) we all love this board with the freedom, honesty, and integrity that we all have been allowed to have here and do we have to watch what we are saying because we are being spied upon. That is why I said what I said. Why should we feel we have to watch anything because we are members of another board? That board is most certainly not that board nor will it ever be by the mere fact this one is not an official Macca board. Frankly if certain people want to cause trouble, they're going to find ways to do it. I'm very grateful for this board. I love this extended Macca/Beatles family and I haven't closed the door on the other friends there either. If TMT resumes, it will take a long time to trust that we won't have to look over our shoulders every time a little controversy should hit like should Paul keep on dyeing his hair. I doubt for now we will have another abortion thread or even feel comfortable enough to talk politics there something I think we can feel free to do here.Again, many thanks to Andy and Fiona. You guys rock my socks!!

I wouldn't mind seeing this a closed board either. Some people know the reason. I don't like the spying and I know I was spied on. But, if it remains as it is, I'm still a happy camper and will remain one. The board over there is very dead. And for the spies, I agree with Bill. Three cheers for Sarah. Now go tell her we said that.

I know what you mean Nancy, but I disagree. I'm more suspicious of forums that want to hide away from everyone else. What I like about this place is that it has all the best of the Maccaboard without trying to be too exclusive and without hiding it. I respect a place that has the courage of its convictions. No-one is going behind anyone's back here. Oh and Andy, I wasn't suggesting that that was the main purpose of this forum. It's just an occupational hazard of any board that grows out of the Macca board. And it's handled very well here!

Ok difference of opinion, a lot of that going on for me today!! :lol: I think that by making people join who want to read here but not post, would not make it a place that is "hidden away" but just maybe keep away some of the people that are continuing to cause problems over there for some people here. I've joined other Beatle boards recently only because I was interested in reading some of the topics there that a friend had told me about, but it was a requirement to join in order to read anything there. Maybe some people here could help this "spying" problem here by not continuing to focus on that here and not be "waving" to those people.

I see your point Nancy - if they want to read they have to reveal themselves. But I've always tolerated lurkers and I've never considered it to be spying if they just read the forum. It's when they try and make an issue of it at the Maccaboard that it becomes spying. But they've already revealed themselves and if they want to be that childish about it, then they can go ahead. What do I need to do about it? Shoot them in the other foot? :lol: |

Thanks for clarifying, Bill - I didn't actually believe that was what you were saying but thought there was a possibility that could be read into your post. I know some people would like this forum to be accessible for people who have registered only, but we feel like our members should be able to express their opinions out in the open & not behind 'closed doors'. We have nothing to hide here and besides, people would still have to be a little careful about what they said if they wanted to 'name names' - there's always someone watching & no-one wants to risk a lawsuit for libel. Anyway - we want people to see what a great place this is and what great people we have here... the members here are the message board.

No, the bannings that they are speaking of are from an altogether different board. A board, I might add, that they didn`t really want to belong to or participate in in the first place. The macca board spies are over here looking to see if they can spot any slight or offense so they can yell libel and slander and threaten lawsuits. Off their nuts is what they are. PM has been going on and off line for the last 2 days. Don`t really know why. |

From what I read the other day, they are going to be releasing them slowly, one by one, as they see fit. I assume they're starting with the foreign language forum to begin with, even though it's still there. Apparently no on is allowed to post on it anymore, though..at least that thread. It may take a long time before they get to anything from the TMT forum the way it's been looking. I still have my doubts that they'll bring that one back, anyway. Merry

Well I have a reason to go back. I'm causing problems there on The Broadcast forum. Seems the 2 newbies that have been attacking Paul for his stance on the seals issue are insinuating that we are wealthy and have never been hungry a day in our lives. That because a few of us are vegetarians that we have money and are used to our food coming packaged in pretty plastic. Oh and we aren't showing them any compassion. I am tired of the Woe is Me card being played. I hate it when people make assumptions about people they don't know. Walk a mile in their shoes they say. Well walk a mile in my shoes, too!! Expecting my first warning. For those of you who have had a warning, what does one wear to a warning? Should I bring anything or just go empty handed? When I get my first warning I won't be a virgin anymore. Ahhh, after being on that board for 5 years and this can really happen!! I'm such an angel .............. NOT!!!!

:lol:Hey, I know there are other forums over there and more issues than just Off Topic. I give you credit for standing your ground, and wish you a great deal of luck. Not everyone gets warning excemptions, you know! For the record, I've never had a warning either, so I'm not sure the proper attire for those things. Perhaps something in blue may be appropriate, and you may want to bring an offering too, just to try to buy your way out of it. Sometimes brown nosing seems to help! :lol: I hope it doesn't happen!

Thanks SO much for those who made the mods lock the Re: Talk More Talk thread. Why would you guys do that? Because of your American Idol talk Sarah had to lock the thread. Some people just don't want to listen to the mods. Sarah repeatedly told people to stay on topic, but it went on deaf ears. That's how much respect the mods get, not just in the Macca Board, in any message board. :angry: |

Molly it's not like it was planned to talk about American Idol. There is nowhere else to post about it. There was a lot more to what was going on in that thread anyway. Once the bawling out came no one wanted to post anything so I guess that's why American Idol was started. I wouldn't get angry about it. |

There were tons of reasons that thread was locked not just a few posts about american idol. A biggie was the personal banter going back and forth between people, and you were involved in some of that too Molly with Mike. People were making off remarks left and right and some others chose to get more personal. To be honest, I am surprised it made it to so many pages without getting locked earlier. Alot of people are emotional over TMT being disabled for the time being and are having a hard time keeping quiet about it. We are all getting along fine without it, whether it's on this board or other boards. That doesn't mean I wouldn't love to see it come back, but there is only so much we can do about it at this point. It's out of our hands. Also, Sarah noted there is another thread about TMT that you can post on, so it's not like there can't be anymore discussions on it. I personally think that us talking about it is not doing anything to help bring it back, they (admin or whoever) will bring it back when they feel like it. Holly |

Unfortunately what was going on in those threads just proved to the mods and admin that perhaps their decision was a just one. Some of the posters are trying to start fights just like they did in the more heated debates of old. A trap that is very easy to fall into or one that is just as easy to stay out of. |

Yes, but why set a trap knowing what's going to happen? Why don't the "offenders" get punished for what they've done, instead of waiting until it gets so far and then taking it all away? The threads that have gotton locked are just a mini-version of the TMT forum itself. Merry

I go over every now & again just to tick people off. I joined at the time when the seal hunt threads were just getting started. So, I was accused of being there for that reason alone. I go back to make the point that I joined because I like Sir Paul, & I've met some damn nice folks there, most of whom are now here.

True, and it seems like someone on there got a pretty good warning from Sarah but his warning was long overdue. I know he stayed quiet for awhile but I knew he was lying in wait for the perfect opportunity. Hopefully he heeds his warning but that is unlikely to happen methinks. |

Well I agree with you there Sherry, and I'm glad that you've joined us over here, too. It's where the majority of us met, it's just a shame the way it has become. I guess it got out of hand and the mods couldn't deal with it anymore. It appears that rather than sift through the problems one by one, they felt it was easier just to shut it all down (well the "Off Topic", anyway); it makes it less of a headache. The thing of it is, this way nothing is getting solved and the problems just perpetuate. I love the fact that over here we can coexist without all the bickering and nastiness, it shouldn't have to be like that anywhere, but sadly, it is. Merry

Some people just can't resist turning something into a confrontation. There were dozens of posts on that thread that I could have thrown back at the author and said "well what about when you did this?" but in the interests of a mature discussion I chose not to. Too bad others didn't. As for the locking of a thread because people talked about American Idol, I say, RIGHT ON!

Glad that it's back. I'm confused though, how could the TMT thread have been locked because there was non-Paul content, isn't that the purpose of TMT? ~Mary~ |

Not this board. This board is the exact opposite of the McCartney board. The McCartney board has imposed so much censorship and restrictions that they don't even know what they're all about any more. They should just shut the whole board down now. They have lost their way. |

A mod once threatened me with permanent bannishment because I had posted that I thought they should tear down that dump old trafford and build a new one. I'm afraid the power has gone to their heads. |

Sorry, but the mods haven't gone power hungr. I'm sorry, but even though I've gotten a few warnings there for doing stuff I deserved everyone of them. I hate when people blame the mods for what they are told to do. If they don't do what the higher ups say, they could get canned as mods. That's why I keep saying mods have a thankless job, no matter what they do, they get criticized and some lose friends over them. I'm glad Talk More Talk is back. People whined so much about it coming back I guess the admins decided to shut us all up and bring it back. I wish you guys could come back, because it's going to be lonely there without you all.

Threatening me with permanent bannishment because I thought they should tear old trafford down and build a new one isn't power gone to their heads? I think it's a textbook example. |

Maybe it was the way you said it. Some admins and mods don't take kindly that people try to tell them how to run their websites. I've been on other sites where people were banned for telling the admins and mods how to do their jobs, and IMHO I think they were justified in doing that. It's one thing to make suggestions but it's another thing to tell them what to do. Maybe the mods took what you said wrongly and there was some miscommunication, it CAN happen online because you can't hear the person's tone of voice. |

He was a big Man U fan and didn't take kindly to the thought of tearing old trafford down. I know those Man U fans take their football very seriously but to threaten to ban me for my opinion of their stadium is outrageous but that's where they are at over there. |

I must respectfully disagree with you, Molly. When I first joined P.M.com it was a very pleasant site. But in my opinion, several of the mods did get a little power hungry and started to censor certain people. Not everyone, and that's where the trouble started. I had a few threads locked and comments deleted that in reality should not have been. Some, truthfully should have been, and I expected it. The mods over there DO play favorites, I don't care how much they jump up and down and deny it. They do!! I'll go over there and say hi to some friends but I'm very happy here!! |

Funny thing is...I was just over on the Macca board...and I didn't even NOTICE that TMT was back...how sad is that? It will be interesting to watch how it all unfolds...thats for sure. |

Hi People, Well, it'll be interesting to see how popular we remain now TMT is back open. Thanks to all of you who have praised this place and said that you'll continue to post here - as I've always said, there's not actually a choice to make, people can post both here and there quite happily. I know that I won't be over there as much now we have this place, but I'll be checking it from time to time. I believe we're different enough at SF to survive - only time will tell!

Not over on the 'Macca' board, Jayne - I simply don't have the time. If anyone else wants to take it over, then they're quite welcome, but I've posted an explanation as regards to the BB thread.
I don't really get what the whole removal of TMT was about - what did it actually achieve and why has it been brought back now? Does it make sense to anybody here?

I'm sorry if I seem like a jackass but I just don't like how people go "Oh I'm not going there because of how I was treated?" Have you ever thought of what YOU did? Maybe you did something to get a warning or got your posts deleted? I know a lot of the times I got warned was for backseat moding. It's sad that some of you don't want to ever go back there. I'll miss you guys.

Unfortunately you can't help it. All you do is go back and forth with this crap. You post here, then you run back there. You post there, then you run back here. How about for once stuffing a sock in it and do everyone a favor?

Molly, I may have been "guilty" of posting nonsense sometimes perhaps (counting and so forth), but personally I never had any posts deleted, nor did I ever get a warning or need to grovel to anyone to get back or whatever. I don't think any of us have over here, so what are you getting at? Andy you're very right, I don't know what it accomplished, I don't think anything was! Whatever the original "offense" was that brought it on in the first place are those responsible contrite now? BEAT, I agree with what you said, completely, thank you! Merry
