I am a new comer Here.
I am not aware of what goes on behind the scenes.
I don't Know the past history of things.
I am not qualified to know What the correct action was to do.
I do Know that more goes on here then meets the eyes,
as in all human related activities.
My 2 cents is this.
Shmoopy from my perspective Had allot of good qualities.
I wish people could get along and act like adults.
I Know that I am not perfect either ,But I am working on it.
I am not picking sides.
Just my observations.

I'm with you too elvee that is my wish as well.

They might as well delete my account here too. Shmoopy only steped in to defend me from JamMeister33's paranoid false accusations. Nothing anyone else wouldn't have done if put in the same situation. I've kept quiet long enough. When I was attacked, rather than have a scene in the messages I contacted the admins here so that they could just take care of it properly. Shmoopy sacrificed herself in my defense. JamMeister33 said a lot of horrid things to her and those that were here can testify to that. I feel the admins dropped the ball in their handling of the situation and justice was not done. I'm glad to see there are some with enough backbone to come out in support of this grave injustice. I salute you all.

The admins need to step back and take a good long look at the one who seems to be a long term problem stiring up trouble here. Who seems to be the one who starts trouble all the time?

It's a shame to keep losing well liked users here and it's a pattern that will repeat over and over if the admins keep a blind eye to the real problem.

I call out the administration here to right this wrong and I want everyone here to watch carefully and see how this is handled and make your own decision.

The ball is in your hands now big boys...let's see if you can handle it properly this time and show some benevolent wisdom.

Phooey

Shmoopy is exiled? Why??

I was here and saw it all! JamMeister33 is the one that should be exiled! I'm with Pooey!

I'm going to put off buying the browser I think.

It was unfortunate, but, it has to be obvious to anyone with a brain that the admins do not exile anyone without a very good and legitimate reason. I don't see how anyone could be privy to all that went on with emails involved. The admins have made their decision live with it. Turning the message board into two camps is to me, very very unhealthy. This board is a great place to visit lets keep it that way.

Ande!!!

(((((HUG)))))) ((((((HUG))))))) THIS IS THE SORT OF RANT THAT CAN GET ONE EXILED

When an Admin's efforts are derided and belittled by a site member, the chances are that that member really does not have his/her heart into remaining a valued member of the community.

It is not an admin's role to endure disdain on one hand and demand someone NOT leave on the other.

Their choice....free to leave.

What rankles, however is when 'lurkers' who believe they know it 'all' abuse their privilege of being able to 'rate' a person's work[s] by deliberately down grading them.
That is both petty, childish, and malicious, and totally inappropriate on a Community skinning site such as Wincustomize.com.

The majority of members [who contribute/participate on this board] are mature, responsible adults, and I would have expected better from them.

I'm not posting private emails publicly here....it's both ethically wrong and really of no public benefit.

One line, however is relevant so I post it....

"I, and my fellow admins work too damn hard looking out for / after this site and its community to allow any individual or 'group' to mess it up."

End of discussion...

I've watched this develope for a couple months and still don't know everything about it. I'am sure the admins did what they thought was right, but it takes 2 to tango. My question would be; How come only one got shown the door? I think it should have been all or none. My 2 cents. I do miss Angela.

just found this thread. I kinda felt there was some behinfd the scenes things going on that was not on the messege board.

I agree with Ande (except with the "anyone with a brain remark", I am sure people are expressing what they feel and they have brains)

Level heads will out last all of this. There are many good... no great people on this site and I am sure once the brew ha ha is over we will start skinning again (along with other message board activities, politics, and other stuff)

Hey Jafo, I'm just curious...

How does this apply to those of us lurkers who really do know it all? ^_~

Ditto kthxbye

kthxbye

i lurked here for a long time

saw plenty

the axe should swing both ways if its gonna swing at all

Same here, same here - it just took me forever to actually sign up for my own account on the site.

I guess thats common. I waited some months before I singed up also. Could have been in the low 15000.

It doesn't because you don't, OK?...

Just to clarify, in case anyone is ass-uming...I did not exile anyone.

Those abusing their rating privileges may face censure, however.

Present circumstances 'can' change with appropriate revisions of behaviour and conduct, but if it is the decision of someone to leave, then so be it.

When Jafo talks about lurkers, he may be referring to someone like me. I have been around for awhile, I was here and signed up when WinCust opened up. I usually don't have a whole lot to say Unless something really bugs me like this.

I don't speak for Jafo, but if you read his post a little bit closer, the context in which he used the word "lurker" was a person who abuses the rating system. Hell, everybody has feelings, but circumstances and commonsense will over ride them. I would find it very difficult to judge without all the facts. The admins did have and made a decision.

"It doesn't because you don't, OK?..."

What!? I can't believe this! There's no way! I know I do!

Ahem, okay, okay. enough silliness from me. Carry on.

kthxbye, we know what went on on the messageboard and what some people told us, but we don't know what went on between the people involved and the admins. So we don't know everything. Not defending or taking sides, just stating the facts, unless you are privy to the other side.
