What the hell is this crap????

[Reefmaster]

i don't get it. one guy got a royal stripping of his hide cuz he posted a message that wasn't directly related to reefkeeping, but now we have Top News Stories?????

i don't come here for news, there's a billion other sites if i want to read about the state of the world. i thought this was meant to be a reef board, and given that one guy got slammed for posting a non-related message not so long ago, i cannot understand how anyone with a logical mind could rationalize that the World's Top Stories IS reef related. shane

Funny you should mention that shane as I was thinking that myself.

Hi,

I think that is to help support the cost of running this site. It also seems that we have lost Reefpure as a sponsor.

While we're at it, maybe we can get the damn snowflakes removed before summer [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm wondering if you guys want to sit back and re-read some of the things you post before posting. Try show some consideration when expressing opinions on the free BB you have here. Titus certainly didn't put the news links there to insult anyone.

Hey,

Why not have the news stuff as a link to open up if you want to read it. Since we are allowed to have non reef related stuff in the lounge why not this?

Have it is a small link on the side that we can open up if we want it?

Darren and I were talking about it here today and came up with that idea.

(Titus, Darren is here and wanted to add this to what he had said earlier)

Hello Fudge and Darren,

That's a fantastic idea. Thanks.

Well guys,

Now that I am home I am going to say a few things here.

*taking off moderators hat, stepping onto soap box*

I would take Troy's advice and re-read what you have said here. Would you say those things to his face? In the tone it came across as? This site is being paid for by Titus and Titus alone. If you don't like how something looks why not ask for his reasoning behind what he has changed? A polite word goes a lot further than one said rashly. Put that whole thing in the context of your work and your boss has put up something that isn't related to your work but he/she felt it woudl imporve the workspace.. Do you walk up to him/her and say What the hell is this crap???? If you have a rapport with your boss that you can so be it. Most people don't. I never have. What makes it fair to say that here? Titus has GIVEN this site to us. He had an idea and you snap his head off.

Remember one thing. Who pays for this site? Titus... He has been gracious enough to let us have this board to share and keep in touch.

Marko didn't get a royal stripping. End of point. After discussing it with Titus and assuring him that the lounge would not get out of hand as other boards discussion areas become he let the Lounge be open to any discussion withing reason.

Titus put those news links up there to give us a few other things to look at. To spice it up as it were. Did these links hurt you? Why the attack on Titus? That is how this has come across to me and others it would seem.

IMHO a few people need to sit back, and think about what they are going to say before they say it. If you dont' know the reason it was done, ask, then once you have a reason to question it if you feel you have to and at least have some tact.

Do you think that this thread would go anywhere beyond your post on any other board? I don't.

*stepping off soap box now*

*moderators hat on*

Thread moved.

Am I completely off my rocker, or have I missed something???

I have NO idea what the @#($ anyone is talking about here. I don't see any news stuff anywhere. I was expecting to have pop-up windows and dancing girls, but I don't see anything.

Perhaps I have a special version of the BB?
