Thread: Ken Thurm MIA?

Tweet

Once again I've sent Brent a link to this thread so he can read and respond to your concerns and ideas.


Bill S.

i dont think the new site sucks or any of that other stuff.
but i HAVE noticed there is nobody here.
i come here every day and there is hardly any activity.

I find myself looking but not posting much.
Not that I posted much before.
But even less now.
The change, in my opinion, is not for the better.

Re NZHRM site.
I concur with lamin8r.
I have halved my posting there since the changes.
Upgrades for the better they tell us .. Huh?
The ongoing issues that haven't been fixed are forcing
people off the site.

Hope that doesn't happen here too.

Seems to be like 'ol Bil (Skakespeare, not Mustag) said, "Much ado about nothing."

The new format does the same things in a little different manner, what's the big deal anway? Seems if people really wanted to support the forum and the people that frequent it they would make the most of it and not take every opportunity of "where's so and so" to turn it into a rant against Brent. Got a problem with Brent, pm or email him. Seems that might do the forum and it's members more good then post lamenting a change in layout.

maybe ken thurm is busy?
just a thought....

ever change the tune on your motor ? go to deuces ? sometimes change just sucks a little until you get it dialed in .

Well Dave, I guess we can't freely voice an opinion then .. Sorry.

Sure you can, just rehashing the same dang thing doesn't really seem to do a bit of good towards supporting the forum. Personally, I could give a rip what you say, somebody will always find some reason to whine about it!

Give a rip =say something
Don't give a rip=shut up and stay out of the way of those who do

Someone once said===Lead, follow, or get out of the way!!!

Please, if you're going to quote me, don't take things out of context..."I could give a rip what you say, somebody will always find a reason to whine about it". Thank you.

Dave,
I share a lot of your sentiments, and I surely did not intend my initial post to turn into another "...rant against Brent..." as you put it, and I for sure was not trying to "stir the pot" because I truly do not see that the changes are a big deal - my opinion, my experiences, and not on any soap box about it. My only agenda was a sincere concern about not seeing Ken here, and wondering if anyone had been in contact with him. In hindsight I should have sent him a PM or e-mail vs posting Sorry guys & gals, it will not happen again from my keyboard

so you have changed from COULD give a rip to DON"T give a rip-------------must be an election year

I find nothing wrong with your posts, in fact if it gets people to stop and think (good or bad), I'm all for it (as a mod, not as an owner, which I am not). Free speech is a wonderful thing until one person attacks another for his views. When it becomes personal, that is when the balance between free speech and common sense must be weighed and actions taken (no matter who posts). So far, since the change over, I do not believe I've really had to intervene in anything that crosses that line. I for one thank all of you for that.

In closing, Brent does work a full time job, and does have a family, so if he does not respond to your emails and PM's in what you believe is a timely manner, send me a PM and I'll point him towards the thread/post in question if it is something I cannot assist with.

Sincerely,

Bill S.

PS: (Edit): Since the change, post count has gone up, not down, just thought I would clarify that

Probably because 50% of the new posts are people complaining about the new format. (Sorry, Bill, I couldn't stop myself )

I know this may not rank up there with solving world hunger, but evidently it IS important on some level to some of us longtime members. And, as I said, my true concern is for the longterm good of the forum..........I would hate to see anything hurt what was once so very good.

BTW, I was curious about the definition of the word forum. Here is what the dictionary says:

a. The public square or marketplace of an ancient Roman city that was the assembly place for judicial activity and public business.
b. A public meeting place for open discussion.
c. A medium for open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a newspaper, a radio or television program, or a website.

Ok Jerry, I corrected my post. Long time since I've ran for an election so it was just a mistake. Some of us still make them...............
