    :soapbox: Come on Guys and Gals, Here we are again, Another new Owner and Administration and yet we are reduced again, to so few members posting. What is the Problem, are we not all friends here anymore?

    Can we now not talk to each other ? we used to a lot daily. What ever happened to the cracks ( jokes) we used to have.The laughs and the silly (but ending up laughable) arguments. The ones we could all go out after and have a beer over :rofl:

    i rarely post anything very serious on any board,,i have been accused of being not taking things seriously enough.. this is one of the rare times i will speak ,what i feel, is true... it seems to me ,that with every transfer of ownership and,or administration there are rules to be set down..these rules are most times the same old ones we were used to and ignored.. as long as we can read others experiences and stories i will be a happy person..i think some people take umbrage to changes ...we must remember the world is in a constant state of flux.. change is inevitable but mostly not welcome...lets adapt the old hippies mantra....go with the flow...and always remember karma always evens things out...by the way i am a firm believer of not using caps and or punctuation ..thanks for reading

    Most certainly for a whole sentence and I would hazard a guess, you would be censored for it. Bringing something to ones attention with Capitols is the right way to do it.

    Correct Punctuation and proper use of Capitols is the way to go, We are I believe, all educated people here and for those with English not a First language and those with a reading problem ( Dyslexia and such) will enjoy others writings more if things are done at least to an acceptable input. Paragraphing is also important
    It makes reading a lot easier.

    Put these things in perspective and you will have a Happy band Following you.

    None of us are Perfect in English but IMHO Deliberate Bad Writing is just somewhat, Ignorant.

    Could it be that with anything new (format) some peeps are hesitant to use it until they become more famliar with it? Most of us are still becoming familiar with it. At least I hope that is a reason.

    THIS SENTENCE WAS TYPED IN ALL CAPS. I THINK I REMEMBER SEEING SOMEWHERE THAT THE SOFTWARE HAS SOME "ANTI-YELLING" CENSORSHIP. LET'S SEE.


    I think that most people who use all caps are what I call "peckers". They peck with one or two fingers at the keys and have to look at the keyboard while they type and don't look up to the screen until they are ready to send.

    As for the rules.....I don't have many. There really only needs to be one:

    1. If you are being a dick....stop it.

    :deal:
