i would like some of whatever you have been smoking please 
i can remember a discussion in policy about some current issued infractions and webby wanted people to discuss if they were valid or not
iirc everybody said mine was not valid, i then asked to have it removed, and well i will leave it up to you to guess what happened next

I run a small and thriving forum (using the same vbulletin software) and we have a great moderator team. They are invaluble in looking after the forum and to clean up any undesirable postings. We dont use the infraction system, but I know that is because we are only a small forum and do not have the same issues as on here.
But the point I am making is that good and fair moderation is the only way forward.
Apart from that, it is heartwarming to see a response from the IB team at last and we can only hope that you come through in style.

That's a great response from Stu & I know Stu from Passionford and he is a great guy so I'm sure he'll take this on board
If Stu wants me to come back on board I'd consider it
Good Morning everyone,
Whilst this poll is no doubt going to be a little painful, ......
....to summarise, please hang on in there, you should have a new Administrator to abuse by the end of the week and then things can start to really move forward, but until then I WELCOME any adult, structured and reasoned input to the topic of Scoobynet change but be assured if people use it as an opportunity to try stirring up trouble they will simply be banned, so play nicely or prepare to not play at all.

Please take that in the manner intended
Very good to hear things are about to improve and thanks for your input.Now please fix the search

I had suggested that in a previous post, but I deleted it because it looked like I was a teeny bit gay for you.....

I think its been caused by the cumulative effort of far too many members on here sat rubbing their lamp's all at once IMO.

What I mean is "effective".
"We have a Lot of other large forums, many far far larger than this one, and all run well. ScoobyNet will follow and we can only appologise that we haven't acted sooner or with more commitment.
Please understand that i am surely not saying that thing's will be done overnight, but our attention has been turned to this community now, admittedly a little later than scheduled, but crying over spilt milk is going to achieve nothing but create more rifts, so lets leave that milk to evaporate and start trying to move onwards shall we?"
Will it be this year?

As for you coming back, it would be like Jaws III. Same of the old same of, but just less scarey and with some crap special effects

I will stick my neck out and say yes, they will. To what extent i don't know, we have not yet started to collaborate a list of jobs to be done, let alone prioritised them, and everything takes time but ultimately the whole project will be at the hands of your new administrator so i guess you will have to await his arrival.
A small part of me thinks it might be nice if we had another topic, started by a senior member, that listed all the members concerns in one place, a topic with no bitterness or arguing, a topic where everyone worked as a team and towards the one common goal... Sadly, my lunch daydream then came to an end and i found myself all alone as always, wishing that we lived in a better world.

This forum used to the Powerhouse of Scooby forums, it has since turned into a dead fish IMHO.
I think that a good revamp would help the site a lot, not to mention the atmos around here too.
It is good to see that you are talking about doing things, but when these "things" come into effect, then we can really talk.
I look forward to the changes.
