Just to throw my two cents in, and I have no problem with Donger whatsoever, but I agree with Laz that there was a time where he posted a lot of political threads. Almost anything he came across, he posted. I think he toned it down a bit after a while, but he certainly posted a lot of politically related threads. I'll let everyone else discuss the merits of it, but I don't think Laz is off his rocker here at all.

AND it always has been ... nothings changed except the ratio of wingnuts to moonbats.

and the party lines were not drawn by me, they were drawn by the people who suddenly decided to kill something that they created because they don't like how it turned out.

And that's the 100% truth.

Damn you, you continue to destroy all of my preconceived notions of CONS...

damn you. And thank you. :thumb:

thanks ... i'm not insane :harumph:








too much... heh

You are not getting it so I will try one more time. Anyone can buy the prepackaged software and the hardware I could do that in a nanosecond. It is the labor that a few people behind the scenes (mainly Kyle) put into the hacks that make this place.

Donger was not one of the three who caused the split as Laz is suggesting.

My point is why ask 5000 users for answers? They're going to get 5000 answers?

Since they own it let them decide. I've never once been asked to pay a fee to sign on. Those that want to stick around will do so. This is a Chiefs board first and that thought should never be lost.

Maybe I don't understand the issues because I've never bitched about any of them. I just sign on and see what's there and post if I want.

Ok, then I'll try one more time.

Those that put forth the labor should decide what the planet should look like. Asking the rest of us morons what the planet should look like is the same as asking 5000 people what your favorite color is.

Seriously then, why is his thread over there, it is clearly the most popular feature of this BB? Nothing comes close to the traffic it generates and clearly should be in the Lounge. It clearly is an inconsistency Brian.

By the way I know the answer to the question, if you really want to know PM me so we don't recreate that whole controversy on this thread.

oooops! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Damn, he must have bought you the newest and largest of the Rich-Rader--abrators...... :hmmm:

Probably because he can't balance on it with that large thing of his... :eek:

Yeah, but it hasn't stopped others from creating others. And that I believe is what he meant.

OK now we can get to my real point, they need to generate at least a minimum revenue so they are at least not losing their ass monetarily. That takes contributions (voluntary at this point) and if the BB features are not popular then those will not be forthcoming. That is why what we morons think is important.

Your point is well taken.....where's the option of posting a poll with no feedback when you need it? :)

Is that your problem too, heh? :eek:

The old man's senile; perhaps you can relate? :p

yes... he was

Kcwolfman,donger,ringleader (and others) got into a thread war with MeMe and other liberals.

they start flooding the forum with politic stuff

then the rule started up that you could only start 2 political thread each day.


and they did ... but the titles of those threads started getting more and more graphic.


"Democrat suck because government did this"

"oh ya!! republican suck because of this"


and before long the DC forum was created


Donger WAS PART of that mess ... he just was


i remember because back then, some people called them ButtRinger and Schlonger as nicknames.

Well thanks asswipe for finally making it clear to me the moron.

OMG, I had completely forgot about that...

you should have really gotten that name. ;)

memory is not the only thing that elephants and i have in common







;) :fire:

Is anybody else uncomfortable with Denise slobbering all over Laz's "thing"?

Is there something I'm missing here? Just when political threads couldn't get any worse... :)

Whatever Donger's participation was, it was minimal at the time of the split. RL, Denise, and jAZ were the three that everyone had a problem with when the vote took place. Many of us were PART of the problem from a larger perspective, I know I participated in my fair share of political discussions. But the three that actually drove the vote in the direction that it went did not include Donger. Period.

baaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaa ROFL

NO, I'm not slobbering. That graphic he posted yesterday cracked me up.

you don't even remember what his participation was

well he was a front row,lead action, conservative headhunter.

.

all of a sudden, it felt like an early christmas.....:p

Ugh, I said WE morons in the post you quoted when you made this post. So sorry.

Until they meet you that is. :shake:

Jim, come on man. You should not let any of Sybil's personalities get to you like this. You are better than that. Note, I'm not defending him(s) but rather trying to encourage you to realize who (all) you are expending this negative energy with.

EXCUSE ME!
 

It seems that DC has been spared. The Store is gone.

Carry on.

I wanna piss on you...DRIP DRIP DRIP!

http://www.cinegeek.com/dvd_archive/...how/toilet.jpg

But I still want to consolidate. I'm really intrigued by Jim's idea. I wonder if there's an available hack for users to subscribe to subforums and have them appear at the top of the Lounge. That would be outstanding.

not gone ... still a link/button up top

Why can't someone create a cool graphic that links to the store? Put in the middle of the page or next to the REPORT link?

Please tell me that Jim's outburst was not prompted by "senile" (my TIC response to gobo)...he's apparently deleted the post, but you had alread quoted it.....can someone fill me in on what set him off this time? :rolleyes:

BTW, Jim.....I don't recall calling you a liar. :shrug:

Heh heh. Why do you think Simplex isn't posting right now?

Darn, I can't recall. Sorry.

Perfect solution! :clap:

Okay, President Reagan. :rolleyes:

Kotter let me just say that I apologize I tried to get it deleted before you saw it but could not get DEnise's attention in time. I felt you used the senile as a cover for calling me a liar and exploded. People doubt how bad my temper is have no idea. Tonight you just caused it to explode, fortunately you did not return until I had a chance to cool off.

I like that Laz. Thanks. We'll use it for a banner at some point in the near future. <--- that means when we get some shit figured out.

just put it together real quick ... i'm sure WW or some of these other graphic guys can put one together and put that one to shame.


just tryin' to help






laz
~knows he's a pain in the ass ... tryin' to help and make up for it~

No harm, no foul ....Jim. The "senile" comment was more directed at go bo, heh. He and I mess with each like that a lot.

I don't think you are a liar, at all....FTR. Perhaps our memory is not always what we think it is--I know it happens to me...but that's all. Nothing more.

Peace.

when was the last time i called you senile, huh bubby?

you leftwingnut libby conservative commy demoncrat, you... :cuss: :cuss: :cuss:

The DC forum is spared? So the vote says get rid of it, but it won't happen?

Eh, you got 15 IQ points on me; I got 15 yrs on you...WTF? :p

I found that peculiar too; but I like the management, so WTF?

well then, **** this place. I'm tired of the integrity of this board being sold out to people like denise and jim.

oh no you don't... http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/nono.gif http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/nono.gif http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/nono.gif

you don't get to call me smart on top of calling me senile... :shake: :shake: :shake:

next you'll be claiming i was a lawyer once... :harumph: :harumph: :harumph:

pink had me whip up a couple of buttons for the Store and Donations, here's a screenshot:

.

Eh....De nise and Jim can be annoying; but so can I.

If you've dumped DC or intend to, that should take care of it. I'm trying "weening" myself from DC, and taking more of a "are these guys for real?" attitude when I do go there....if that doesn't work, I'll be joining you and Cochise at some point.

Keep the faith, man. Don't let personality conflicts drive you away from this beautiful place in cyber space. :)

no no no...

your annoying card has been suspended...

you're not allowed to be annoying again until next thursday at 7 pm...

and maybe not then unless you're good...

very very good... :p :p :p

What exactly did you mean by that? When have I ever got my way over what the majority wanted Stevie?

I tried to ask this in a PM but it would not go through for some reason. So what do you mean?

forever and a day we've "heard' about how the majority rules on this board...

what a load.

Nice but might I suggest black or red letters on those yellow buttons

I agree the DC Forum ought to be removed, based on the poll. The Store is a revenue raiser, so it being moved is counterproductive, I'd say. Hell, keep the button AND the place as a sub forum....it just makes it easier to access for casual users and newbies.

That's just not a hill that I'm willin' to die on though.....

I tried red, you couldn't read it. Black made them stand out like a sore thumb and accentuated the fact that I don't have the correct font. I thought about bold but then they lose their sameness. Not enough pixels to do a shadow, bevel, etc. Maybe someone with more talent can do something with them, I'll happily share the source file with the layers.

If you read Phil's response the first move is to move the Store to a button. That more trimming needed to be done. He is going to investigate the idea of letting each person set which subforums they see by subscribing to them but if that does not work out trimming will happen either way. So in the event the subscribing does not work most likely the DC forum will be removed, this is my understanding from PM's with him. I may not have it exactly right but I would not get exercised quite yet Stevie.

I just had trouble seeing the white letters on the yellow background. I sure don't have the talent to do it. No criticism intended.

Use the white lettering but outline it in black. Problem solved.

I'm not capable with The Gimp which is all I've got. You mind polishing that off? I'm sure pink would appreciate it.

.

Call it what you will. I would assume you'd send them to her when you're done, thus giving you the credit. I could care less either way.

Now STFU and do my work (which I don't get paid for), bitch.

ROFL Fugger.

Try these. Saved as .gif files. Slop job but hey, I'm tired.

Man, I make a beautiful (illegible) icons and you just throw some crap on there. What's up with THAT?

:)

you guys sound like... well, like... well...

[rodney king voice] can't you just work together [/voice] to improve the planet experience?

at least, graphically speaking...

you know, in the past it's been mostly kyle and phil doing the technical development/administrative work on the board...

it's great to see folks stepping up to help carry the load...

kudos to both of you! :toast: :toast: :toast:

Nice update to Simplex's fine work. Good job to both of you.:clap:

Ive been trying for years for someone to change the Planet logo to Chiefs red and not stinkin Redskin rouge!

7 drop shadows start to look like a 1px stroke. Eventually. :)

Ignoring the font on the other buttons this is very legible:

Here guys, if you aren't happy with those other buttons, I made some up real quick for you to use.

Nice and clean, but it wouldnt be what I would use.

Very nice. They may be easier to read, however I'm not sure they solve the size problem.

Now thats what I'm talkin about!
