I voted yes to the compromise, although the issue of who gets it is "important" (as important as something on the internet can be). We all want someone we like to take over, and as we can't all like the same people, there'll probably be arguments, hard feelings, same old drama, blah blah blah, I can't really be arsed with any of that. And all this is happening while Springsteen has a new album out, give me a break
Exactly. :lol:

I have to agree with Rose. People need to choose those admin/mods that will be the best for Strawberry Fields and not just because they are your friends. I'm afraid people will choose someone they like and then SF will go to pot like PM.com did.

Then again, considering....circumstances, I'm probably not the best choice for being an admin. Maybe a moderator. They're easier to replace.

I'm not going to go into details about these "circumstances," don't want to worry you all. You can send me a message if you're really curious...

You're doing it again Andy, making decisions on behalf of everyone else. You say you don't want control any more, but by stating that no former mods or Admin can nominate for new positions, that's controlling, sorry to say. You either care or you don't. You don't want anything to do with the board, so how can you put conditions on it? Are you going to come back and check that none of the former staff have taken over?
some people are apparently never happy...

I think Andy's whole speech has probably taken him more time and effort than anything. Yet still people moan. You are getting to keep the board, is that not good enough.

I'm afraid to say though I get the feeling it will still be the same old. Eventually people will start treating mods like sh*t and so on. There are still the same tired old frictions and still very little Beatle chat.

You're one to talk, Dani. Who was it had a tantrum and 'left' just because we weren't talking about the 'right' stuff?

And as for treating the Mods like sh*t - please, don't make me laugh.
I actually didn't have a tantrum, I had what we call a life. I believe what you and other people said was well if you dont like it leave. Not gonna justify myself further than that.

I didn't treat any mod who actually did a good job like sh*t and would I be surprised if you didn't have arguments... oh hang on you already do
I'm a BIGGER Beatles fan than you and I'm an even BIGGER Wings fan than that...

Go to hell Dani, sincerely. I don't like you and you don't like me, so why not just have it out? I personally think you are a nasty piece of work. You are so far up Peter's ass, I don't know where you end and he begins.

No, you've been pretty fair to the Mods but for some reason you've singled me out. I don't know what your problem is (I bet it's hard to pronounce though), and I don't really care, and I don't know what makes you such a b*tch, but it's obviously working for you.

Andy, a question: Is there going to be an official thread to voting of mods? I don't think Lee's should be used as a true thread for picking a mod, because there are names of people who said they wouldn't want it, which includes myself. Should be nominate people and then vote on those who are nominated and want to do it?

Just a few thoughts which come to mind;

For moderators & admin: Patience, kindness, the ability to make tough decisions for the greater good, a willingness to do the right thing even though you may have to tell your friend(s) that they're out of line. A few hours to spare each week.

For admin: A basic understanding of html would be a huge bonus, if not, then the ability to pick up the admin system (it's not that difficult) and a cautious, methodical mind whilst using trial and error to figure out what works is essential.
...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Respect your wishes after you've pulled the rug out from under without so much as a warning? Give me a break. Yes, you've put a lot of time and effort into this place and we've given you three years of kudos and love for that. I've put three years of my life into SF too, where is my respect?

Nobody has been thrown under any bus. In fact, nothing has actually happened to anybody apart from changing this from a moderated forum to an unmoderated forum.

I've already been talked out of shutting the doors permanently and yet some people are acting as if I've desecrated the graves of their grandmothers. I already feel as if I'm doing something I didn't ideally want to do by handing this place over to a team of three who will be democratically elected by the members. If people keep on complaining about the old team not getting a chance to re-stand, then I will explicity explain why, but I don't think that is in anybody's best interests. Basically, I think it is best dropped.

I've said a million "thank you"s for everything everyone has done for this place, I am grateful to everyone who has given a great deal of time and effort to this forum, but I think I've explained my reasons for the way I feel pretty well on this thread. I didn't have to, but I thought I'd extend to you all the courtesy of sharing my thoughts on this matter as well as replying to the questions that people understandably had. There's not a lot more to say other than that some people need to get some bloody perspective.

Apologies, but I have stopped looking at and answering PM's. They are getting way too numerous to deal with and are very time consuming. Heartfelt thanks to anyone who has sent me good wishes and positive vibes. I hope to get around to them eventually, but at the moment I would really appreciate it if people would stop sending them.

Thanks.

People....

Can we stop all of this?

We are getting the board. Wasn't that what we all wanted?

And... Why it's soooo important to be a mod? It takes time, you have to be imparcial, even with your friends, you may end up getting angry with your friends or them with you. Does make you popular to be a "Mod"? That's why is so important?

I couldn't be a mod. Because of my personality and because it takes time.

I can't have the responsability of being an Admin. I have too many responsabilities at my job, I don't need a new one. But I offer my hands if you need something.

I could give a hand with all the HTML and PHP and other stuff. I'm an IT person, a programmer. I don't work with those languages, but I did some little things some time ago.

That's all. Why don't we start the new week with a new mood and start thinking about our future rather fighting about the past? (and I'm not talking about politics).

Now we are down to fighting again? Why? When all is said and done in our lives, will this part really matter? Wouldn't you rather live out whatever time we have left here, which is hopefully a very long time, on friendly terms and not all of this bullsh*t animosity?

Let's not forget that we did earn that second chance on keeping the board open. Let's not make it uncomfortable for us to stay open.

:peace:

pood for paul

Wow....

The anger coming from some is very surprising.
I never got involved too much here, other than posting, but I must say, I'm shocked at the undercurrent here between some....The hate is palpable in some posts.

This is really a sad state of affairs. :cry:

Well, here's another clue for you all, the Walrus was Paul...
I don't understand why people think Andy is obligated to answer PMs, after what I have seen on this thread, I don't blame him at all! :unsure:

I think some in here are acting like total idiots about the whole thing. Andy doesn't have to answer his PMs and I think we should lay off on him for a bit.
I'm part of this group called The 80sxchange, and they have one admin and one mod. It's running pretty well and the one mod is doing just fine. For a while, there wasn't even a mod there, because the admin did the exact same thing Andy did. People got p*ssed off at first, but things cleared up after a while. Sometimes Admins need to get rid of the mods to start over. It's not the most popular decision and people get their knickers in a twist over it because they lost their "power."
When we get mods back here and admin I hope the people we elect don't get a power trip and take over. I still have flashbacks of a certain mod at the PM.com group who got picked as a mod and went power hungry.
I need an Aleve now because my head hurts from reading this thread. I want to fighting to end. I'm not going to contribute to it anymore except to discuss how are we going to run the forum fairly.

HEY!!!

Grow up, all of you, NOW!


Look, this is not, and I repeat, is not the end of world!! If Andy's tired of running something, fine. Let him end it with some diginty and grace. If many of you want to stay in conact, then you lot go make your own place and connect there. But Jesus, don't bash someone who's had enough for sweet Christ's sake. Come on people, it's just a little message board, not life support. So ok, your daily routine will be screwed up, big deal. Maybe this is a sign folks to shut off your bloody computers, get up off your asses, and go see the real world! Go meet real people! Go find a real hobby! Go enjoy LIFE!! Go enjoy the WORLD! Walk outside if you can, get in your car, look around your surroundings, talk to people, make a date with someone you haven't seen in awhile. QUIT USING YOUR COMPUTER AS YOUR LIFE LINE!!!! We live in a socitey where people don't know how to socialise face to face because we have to hide behind a goddamn computer screen. Yeah, the internet is great in many many ways, but it's also very very sad and patheic too. I'm seeing the sad and patheic right now. My god people, go back and read some of your posts about Andy's choice. It's SAD! Maybe Andy's doing this for all the right reasons. Stop and think about it.

I don't care if I sound like the big bad b*tch right now, but you know what, I'm not the one who's bitching at someone for shutting down a website. You people need to take a good long hard look at your lives and see what's more important than a lousy message board. It was just fun little place, but you guys just made it a life line. Sad.

I have never understood the perception that internet life is not as real as any other aspect of your life. The friends I have made on the internet are just as real and important to me as the friends I have made in the flesh. I think it is slightly disrespectful to put the communication of people on a message board as not anything important or worth being upset over.

You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand

Nomination Form

I, Judy ~ QueenBee, wish to be considered to be an ADMINISTRATOR and*/or* a MODERATOR for Strawberry Fields.

My candidacy is supported by: Bill
and seconded by: Linda
Third: Barb

The reason I would like to stand for this position is:To lighten the nomination a bit, I would like to apply for administrator because I'm QueenBee who has been elected Mom of the Board for the past 3 years and I want to take care of my flock. On the serious side, I believe I can handle the technical side of being an administrator. I have a lot of patience, I get along with most everyone on the board and I feel I can be objective enough to look at both sides of a problem.

Go Judy!!! B)

It's both uplifting and depressing to think that we can be closer to people on the other side of the world than our next-door neighbours. But neighbours are like relatives, you don't get to pick them.

So what are the criteria for having a "real" relationship? 'Phone numbers? Meeting face to face. There are plenty of people who have met me and/or have my 'phone number who I have no relationship with whatsoever. There are people who I am far closer to and I don't even know their last names.

Bill ~ I can only speak for myself on forming true friendships on the internet. It's like going on a date, if the other person doesn't want you to have their phone number after you've formed a friendship, I would say probably not a good candidate for friendship, other than internet. Once you start talking on the phone, you can feel a click with that person or maybe not.
I can honestly say, 90% of the people I've spoken to and/or had at my house, are like family to me. We all care about each other and what happens in each others lives. You have to have trust and respect for each other. You don't have to talk to them all the time on the phone either. It's like calling an old friend, you just pick up where you left off. And their also a good sounding board when you need someone to listen to you *itch because your having a bad day.

I would think you wouldn't have any problem because you are a good sport, you have our respect. Now ust how much does it cost to phone Australia. I'd love to be a pest to you and Clare. :giggle: :hug:

So, I guess the majority of the friends I have online aren't my "real" friends because I haven't spoken to them on the phone? I don't agree with that. Some of my good friends online I communicate through e-mail, PM and IM. Yes, I've talked to a few of them on the phone and I've even met a couple in person. I would love to visit a couple of them in person and I might if I continue with my fairly new job. I hold all my friends IRL and online very close to my heart. A lot of my online friends have helped me through some tough times.

Why don't we start a new thread to discuss the topic "friends through internet". I think it deserves a new thread instead of being an off topic in another thread.

And, for the other fight, please, stop it. It takes us nowhere, it's a waste of time and affect us emotionally.

I'm only saying what was effective for ME. I can connect with someone when I hear their voice and then eventually a face. There are people I haven't spoken to on the phone but yet feel a friendship with from the forum. But I feel an even closer relationship when I have repeatedly spoken to them and even better had them at my house. I've never met Barb or Bill or Peter or Jayne but yet I feel I know well enough to consider them my friend. And as you can tell from the Liverpool get together, those who have met feel a special bonding.

Please don't take it personally. Yes you can be best of friends and never have met or spoken to each other on the phone.

Peace baby peace ~ Judy :peace: :hug:

Thank you Briget for you great and in my eyes the best post. Yes, people its over. you should get a life. I'm not worried at all that this board will be shut down because I have lots of other things to do, for instance: at this moment I'm busy planning an big great holyday with my huband Leo to the tropical island Aruba.

This is funny. The one that the only thing she does is to live in the internet and copy and paste everything related with Paul is telling us to get a life.

If you are not interested on the board, because you have a LOOOOT of things to do, why do you keep posting here? Go away, don't get back, enjoy your life.
