Synergy is down....and I'm blue.

[brokenarrow]

You want to know something? I'll tell you all how I'm feeling about the Pearl Jam message board. The place that was such a wonderful place to be for SUCH A LONG, LONG TIME FOR ALL OF US.

The message pit has the message...
"Board is Read Only"....
This makes me sad....and I'll tell you why.
First of all, Kat and Sea bust their asses for the place. They have to read everything people put up.....and some of the posts that are there, the absoulute bullshit, disregard for peoples feelings...disregard for THEIR feelings with all of this CENSORSHIP CRAP has made me so sad.

The board NEEDS TO BE MODERATED.....some people over there say some of the STUPIDEST FUCKING SHIT I HAVE EVER READ!
SOME FUCKING MORON WAS GOING OFF THE OTHER NIGHT ABOUT HOW HE FELT JOHN LENNON DESERVED TO BE SHOT AND KILLED......
WHAT KIND OF A PRICK WOULD WRITE SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

It's not just that.....it's so much, I don't even know where to begin,...end....whatever...
The disregard for feelings, people are on the other end of nasty words, the receiving end......cutting words....they fly in so many different directions anymore....

no wonder our dearest Synergy has now become...
"Board is Read Only"...
Poor Kat and Sea are probably burnt out on the whole thing.


I'm done I guess....I'll just get off my soapbox now....sorry...
I needed to let it out, and I figured you folks would be the ones who would listen..../images/frown.gif

again....I'm sorry for that rant...

uh-oh...'nother rant comin' on......batten down kids!



I've noticed the attitude over there of...
"Hey! If someone has something shitty to say, I can fend for myself....I don't need any moderator protecting me....."

but that's not the point...
I feel the point is....
"Why should anyone who goes there feel the NEED to say nasty things????.....that's not what it's all about....it's a place to join in conversation, share thoughts, express poetry, written word...talk about a lyric or two...Have fun! Make people laugh if they're having a shitty day.....Not flame each others' asses if someone disagrees with an opinion...."

I can take care of myself too.....could be a ROYAL flame thrower if I was like that...
Bust Chops magnificently.....a real maestro in the ball bustin' department...../images/laugh.gif
I guess my point is....
Why do people feel the need to be nasty to other people?
Anyone have any insight?
I'll make some coffee....
Let's taWk......

/images/shocked.gifWhat happened to it? Is it dead forever? Will they put it back? I always come here first but that's my second stop. /images/frown.gif I don't post a lot there, I never did, but I always go there to see what not rob(lie) says. I think he's funny. You know, there's the names you look for cause they always make you laugh. And the names that you know when you read the post, it won't be full of crap. I don't recognize most of the names anymore. /images/shocked.giframblerambleramble/images/shocked.gif Did that even make sense?/images/tongue.gif

There were too many stupid people. I never say anything there. But usually when I do say something I only get replies from nice people. /images/shocked.gif ..it's scary. Isn't it? /images/tongue.gif

Hundy! You're home from work! /images/laugh.gif

Hi Guys! Is it evening over there now Hund?

Yes....I think it's pretty scary at times over there myself....
I haven't been flamed directly, but it's come to the point where I wonder when I will be. If it happens....watch out jack!

I guess it's one of the reasons I don't post anymore too often.....I noticed it seems to be the same people who do the flaming, and the same ones who seem to get flamed...
did that make sense jennie?
you made sense to me! /images/smile.gif
I hope the board comes back, I'm sure it will....I'm not really sure if it's a technical problem or burnout.......if it's burnout, I completely understand....

thanks for writing back you guys...you both made me feel better!/images/cool.gif

[jennie10]

/images/smile.gifYou made sense/images/laugh.gif
I don't think I'd want to be around when/if you get flamed/images/shocked.gif/images/wink.gif/images/cool.gif/images/tongue.gifOr maybe I would like to see the wrath of brokenarrow come down on some poor little troll/images/cool.gif/images/laugh.gif/images/wink.gif
Maybe they should clean house, get rid of all the trolls and then close it off like they did at 5h? I'm beginning to see why they did that/images/blush.gif

Hey I made it.

[share]

almost 2 years

i think maybe they're putting it down for a little bit, hoping that
only the truly addicted, such as ourselves, will come back

i can't tolerate it there anymore - if it wasn't for a few people i like
to pop in on i wouldn't even bother

it's like the rockfords board now that mike has dropped in a few times

i love the potential to "meet" new people, but some of these guys
are bottom line assholes

i have to get back to work - but I'M NOT DONE YET

"i'll be back"

(and once again - SPECIAL BRTHDAY LOVE TO BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[oblio]

yea,what share said!!!

like that mavric guy,talking about your fruit roll ups and all!!!

what an asshole!!!/images/smile.gif[kiss]

I saw this post earlier but I didn't have time to properly respond (uh, rant). I came home to eat dinner and soon I have to go back to work/images/frown.gif but let me see if I can get my thoughts together.

One of the biggest problems seems to be that some people have come in since the tour started and they think they can change the place to their liking. They refuse to accept that there are rules and limits that have worked fine long before they showed up. It must really try the mods' patience to be challenged over and over. I really gave up hope when having a post deleted became something to be proud of. I've always thought PJ fans were a cut above the rest and reflected the band's sense of openmindedness, fairness and decency. But I see I'm wrong. Maybe it's that some people haven't been fans very long and the spirit behind the music hasn't really sunk in yet. Or maybe some of them just don't care about that. I can't bring myself to post there but yet I can't stay away long (like the way you can't help but look at an accident /images/smile.gif). And, yes, I've learned whose posts to avoid. Which is sad because someday they might actually say something interesting and I'll miss it. Hmmmm. Well, probably not. /images/laugh.gif

Ok, done just in time to go back to work. We are having a disaster drill tonight - a double bombing. In two hours' time everyone will be (play)dead. /images/laugh.gif/images/wink.gif This is the fifth drill I've done (I have to video tape them) and they always end the same way. They don't know it but if there is ever a real disaster, I'm running in the opposite direction!/images/shocked.gif/images/laugh.gif
