The FAQ/Help Thread

[Bella]

Yup, Yup, me and Lindsey are a two-man-crew, but she has way more "superpowers" than me...

I try to check in a least once a day and I'm mostly on in the evening. Right now is an exception 'cause my 4 year old woke me up WAY early 'cause he wanted to make cookies. The cookies are all made - so I have some extra time.

By the way, Lindsey, I keep meaning to remind you to change the little blurb about Apolo on the home page to say that he is 24 years old now (I think it still says 23).

[Lindsey]

Thanks for catching that, Bella. I'm in the process of redesigning the look of the website (time for something different) and I've been neglecting anything other than the news script. I'll get that fixed in a jiffy...or more like, when I get home tonight.

I have a question for admin/mods. If you would address it I would be greatly appreciative. Quite a while back, a decision was made to close a thread that had become a problem. My understanding of the reason it closed was because insults were exchanged, tempers were raised, and most of all, valued members were being hurt. With this in mind, I can't help but wonder if the criteria for closing threads (and possibly dismissing abusive members) has changed. People are not going to want to keep their membership at a site where abuse is tolerated. There are entirely too many other things they could be doing. Again, I would appreciate it if someone could let me know where this stands. Thanks.

August... I'm waiting one more day to see what happens. My policy is to first recommend people to stay away from the thread, but if people continue to post, that makes me think a little more about it.
If things stay calm today, I won't shut it down (and hopefully the thread will work its way away). However, some of the things said on that thread do warrant it to be closed. Bella, check your PMs. The reason I shy away from closing threads is because there's nothing to prevent another one being opened and the same discussion arising.
The difference between this thread and the others are that members are generally staying away from the thread, which they weren't before. But we have plenty of guests that are keeping it at the top, and that would be a point to consider when we make our decision.
Hope that answers your question, August.

[August]

Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate your response and respect your decision. We'll see how it goes.

[peggy]

Lindsey, I was curious as to where the chatter box on the home page comes from. Thanks

[Lindsey]

Peggy,
The website where I got the chatterbox is chatter.flooble.com/ . You can put it on any kind of site, I believe! I have them on a few of my sites, and ppl seem to love em!

[peggy]

Thanks Lindsey, I will check it out. You have other sites??

[Lindsey]

Sry for the delay in getting back to you, Pegs! I do run other sites... some for clients, some just for fun. I'm in the process of designing my school's newspaper's website (of which I am the managing editor this year, woot).... and I'm doing some for clubs, etc. But my nicer ones are for ppl I am a fan of! Apolo, Tom Brady, Richard Seymour, etc. I've made some for churches, too...
