Irrelevant to this thread. I think what you're trying to do is move the focus away from what is happening (or not happening) on BAR so, with that said, I'm going to leave you to your word games and wait to see what happens here over the next week or so.

Blunt doesn't equal rude. Also, I never said I agreed.

Sure, if it makes you happy. Text comes over in different ways to different people, so yup.

Good to know lol

I don't recall seeing you post any facts.

You're confusing aggression with bluntness. There's nothing aggressive about pointing out a fact (sarcastic possibly).

I think what your publisher might be saying is that their reader base is looking for the Happy Ever After type of read - you don't really get that with a book about adultery. Truth will out, as they say. I do hope that your writing style is a little better than your posting style though lol...

Sure they do (I'm a site owner myself) but they have to earn it. Your new (and ever so passionate) admin has made a total of 8 posts since Sunday - where's the interest and dedication there?

I certainly is. But, if I'm honest, I'm not hopeful.

You know that statement alone is basically telling people that BAR is elitist and unless you have x amount of posts you have no right to say a thing. Another offputting thing to see on a forum. I'm not being non-committal at all, I'm being honest. If the site stays as stagnant as it is, then...

I purr more often than I meow. About opening a forum? No, not really.. it was more trying to emphasise that this place has the potential, but if it's not going to be recognised I might put some thought into it at some point. And I'm definitely not backward in coming forward, I just try to be...

I wasn't bargaining or dangling a stick and carrot, I was offering a point of view. Don't like it, that's absolutely fine. I see you removed the smiley from my sentence to make it look like I was being serious. If you reread, you'll see there was a smiley there to show I wasn't being serious...

Apologies for the double posting, I didn't see this post until after I'd hit reply. The following I post as a forum administrator/owner of over 12 years and not as a potential member. I've worked with a lot of admins over the years, helping them to build, rebuild, change, write rules etc, so...

Possibly. I don't really get along with the current layout of the site, and I don't have lots of free time away from my own sites - the time I do have is usually spent reading, when the kids aren't vying for my attention. Most forums are dependent on the activity of its owners, and I am a...

Indeed they do. But I also firmly believe that the manner with which an admin/mod deals with criticism says a lot about their character ;)

Thanks guys. I did think about it for a day or so before I posted it as I wasn't sure how it would be received, since I'm not a hugely active poster. I run forums myself, and have done for a long long time, so I know how hard it can be to hear criticism come from what could be perceived as an...

I'm not a huge poster here, but I do visit often. I don't post mainly because I find BAR to be a bit cluttered and haphazard with its layout, but this thread kinda drove me to log in and say something. I've noticed that the BAR seems pretty dead these days, not many new posts happening at all...

I have about 3 avatars I use, but the one I have now is the one I use most. It's part of the logo for a blog I neglect.

Yeah.. maybe it's best to quit while you're ahead :devillook

Please don't sue me, I'm pretty sure I did nothing illegal :eek: ;) Seriously though, I'm glad you got it sorted! I like playing with PS, so if you need anything don't hesitate to yell :)
