I guess it's time for another PSA around here. I don't usually do these things because frankly, I really don't care enough to get my britches crammed up my crack.
People are whining and bitching about moderation (nothing new), and people are whining and bitching that some mods haven't answered their peems (nothing new) and some people are whining and bitching that mods are doing drive-bys after a thread has sort of semi-policed itself. People are whining and bitching about the cliques around here - this time it's the posse (nothing new).
I can probably tell you why the mods aren't answering peems. Cause they ain't here. Why ain't they here? Cause they're tired. Many have volunteered with honorable intentions, then have been worn slick by all the stupid bull**** that goes on on pretty much all message boards. Nobody knows how it's gonna wear on a person until they spend some time in the saddle.
I am not going to sit here and tell everybody they're the cause of mod burnout, mainly because nothing has changed over the years. I hear all this horse**** about "it used to be groovy back in the day" and "this board has changed and it isn't fun anymore." Guess what, it's back in the day right now for the future. People are people, and for the most part, people are stupid. It's a constant.
The only reason I'm still here is because my hide is thicker than Hillary's cankles. I care for a lot of you dillweeds - mainly because I've personally met many of you and have spent time partying, etc. with you. There's some I've never met that I have feelings for because I can tell they're stand-up kinda folks. Some of you I wouldn't **** down your neck if your belly was on fire. I've been here for a long time, and I'll probably be here for a lot longer. Deal with it, or not.
What's the point of all this? **** if I know. Alls I know is that folks need to quit being whiney bitches (again) and folks who aren't hanging out who actually contributed something to this board need to come back and enjoy themselves. Everyone isn't going to agree (doh) and we're going to have pissin' contests (doh) and everyone isn't going to like it. Kinda like life.
