Refuge from MacOSX.com/Press3
 
Hey, I'm just off the boat from MacOSX.com boards. Since the Admin is enforcing a Zero-Free Thought rule now, me and many others are leaving. I'd just like to say Howdy and I hope to have a great time here and meet lots of new people.

Also, if you're coming over from MacOSX.com due to the Admin, feel free to post in here so we can all reunite.

Hiya dricci :)

dricci 06-10-2002 12:05 PM

Howdy :D

These forums are pretty nice, hopefully I'll have time to start participating a little more soon. Right now, I'm trying to get in contact with some former MacOSX.com members and find out where everyone is going.

Welcome to refugee camp X. :D

We mostly try to stay to tech matters here, but I think you'll find many of us have left places which had ownership changes to parent companies more interested in recruiting unpaid labor than in providing healthy communities. I pretty much left all 3.

Explore the forums (and the main site) and you'll get a pretty good feel for what we're about here, I think.

Did RacerX invite you, or were you already aware of us?

Welcome All!
 
Stay as long as you like and enjoy your stay. We have many refugees here from all around the globe.;) We may be smaller but it sure is friendlier around here.

Hi guys,

What do you guys think of the boards?

I think we are going to see more people here in the next few days.

Talk to ya guys this evening,

David

Jadey 06-10-2002 01:24 PM

I actually visit www.macosxhints.com every day or every few days to see the hints, but I had never visited the forums before. Thanks for the welcome :)

Klink 06-10-2002 02:24 PM

hello there,

Thanks for the warm welcomes Craig and bakaDeshi.

Hope to see all you around.
:)

hi everyone!

... another refugee from macosx.com coming through ... :)
looks like quite a few of us are going to be coming here ... nice to have a new home (certainly seems far more comfortable than the old one ... :D)
thanks for the warm welcome, i'm looking forward to getting to know everyone around here ... :)

RacerX 06-10-2002 02:41 PM

Wow, this place is feeling more and more like home with each new member.

:rolleyes:

That sounded strange, didn't it?

Hello.

I was invited by RacerX. I'm not just crashing the party. :)

I want to know what's happening over at MOSX. Can anyone fill me in? Sithious, do you have something to share?

Email me or PM me if you want, or ignore the request if you don't want to talk about it.

scottmackey 06-10-2002 02:52 PM

What's up fellas? Well the Admin has gone completely ape. I am basically just staying around for the amusement to see what comes of it all. This place looks really good to me .. hopefully we can get Ed, simx, admiral and the others to come over as well.

It would almost be funny if he weren't detroying such a large community of friends.

:(

nkuvu 06-10-2002 02:53 PM

Auugh! My post count!

Just kidding!

scottmackey 06-10-2002 03:04 PM

Yeah, I have (had?) 994 posts. I was going to hit the much-awaited 1k either today or tomorrow.

Looks like that may never happen. :(

AdmiralAK 06-10-2002 03:12 PM

YOu can refer to me as sleeper agent :p
I dont know what the heck is going on there, but I came to say "word up" to all my osx buds ;)


now...for all of those who said post counts matter... look at me now :P :p :p
(now to edit my account to change my description to "Simply daemonic" and change my avatr to the BSD deamon and I am all set :D )


Admiral

oh oh PS :p
Mark this post...this COULD be the start of another blockbuster run ;)

RacerX 06-10-2002 03:13 PM

You still rank with us. It has always been about how much you meant to the community vs post counts, and there were plenty who hadn't reached the 1k mark that were still very important friends to all of us.

Glad to have you guys here! :D

nkuvu 06-10-2002 03:16 PM

Avatars are disabled.

And look for this post in the Site News at MOSX:

This post may be deleted before it ever hits the boards. If so, I'm not coming back.

What the heck is up?

I have heard rumors that sithious was banned for questioning the removal of some of Jadey's posts. Those posts, according to what I have heard, provide some positive and some negative reviews of Press3.

It'd be very sad if this is true. Admin, can you explain this? Or dispute it?
There's my stand. If I don't see it, I'll be sad to let all that history go.

RacerX 06-10-2002 03:17 PM

So Admiral, are you and Ed having to filter all those posts? Seems like quite a job if you ask me.

AKcrab 06-10-2002 03:35 PM

Hey Admiral, what's the AK for?
Hope you all are going to behave while you're here. Fun is not allowed on these boards. ;)
