    Guys, I'm still reading your posts condemned 'too slow' server,but, do not forget that for a little bit of waiting time you will post on one of the most free and fair big forums in the US.I know what I say you can believe me.

    Also, be more fair!

    BTW I appeal to all my Conservative Friends, come back and post more here!

    It's not that easy, my friend. Just today I've been invited to leave the forum (if I'm gonna whine) by a mod and now I log on to find I've been stripped of the made-up award they bestowed on me (most referred) as follows:

    06:23 PM noneoftheabove got the award User with most referrers
    06:22 PM Smartmouthwoman returned the award User with most referrers

    I bet noneoftheabove got it because there's nosuchthing, yah??

    LOL, hanging in there, darlin. But they're dang sure not making it easy to stay. :(

    Oh my... there really is a member called noneoftheabove. Now I'm really confused.

    What's going on, mods? Is somebody playing with the buttons?

    No Smartie, you are given awards and they get taken away for some reason. I don't know why. I used to have an award, then I lost it, then I gained it again, and now I have lost it again. I have no idea how I go about earning it back, or how to keep it. Its one of the most annoying things about this new forum.

    I got an award for being registered 7 days. Wow...hell, I've been her over a year. WTF~

    The site is still slow - not as bad, but....

    and we haven't gotten back top poster and top rep.

    Oh well. Not happy about that. :twocents:

    All I want is a lesson on navigation otherwise I just don't like to complain. It tears up your tummy...lol. Hey Ostap. How are you? I have been away but not because of problems here. I probably have patience for slow uploads. I don't care for the errors but I know the owner is trying everything.

    If people think it's difficult out here, try doing a moderators job and handle everything we do. Now that is trying..lol. I do applaud those who are dedicated to this forum. Thank you all.

    Hi Mauri,

    I'm fine, thank you, glad to hear you!I completely agree with you, it would be better if folks instead of complaining will donate for a better maintaining of forum. I know many other big forums, IMO a lot of those are too partisan and a fair compliance against despotism of mods is impossible.If a forum is running by liberals that any free speech is downgraded. Therefore the quality of political posts and freedom of speech stay here at the best.It is wrong that many conservative posters post elsewhere, at best would be if their come back and stay more patient.

    Don't whine dear Smartie, for your consolation I can say on an other big Forum I was openly insulted many times by a Chef Mod for my Support of Palin. Any compliance was impossible, therefore I lived that Forum and came never back.

    well what's the point when if you TRY to contribute and some mod moves your threads off to the nether regions for no reason (or no reason given)?? Why put in the effort and time when you are worthless in their eyes...hey 'it's the biggest forum out there' what do they care about the little people? I don't stop by like I used to and I am not feelign all that fond of coming around now.

    she's not 'whining'...she's pointing out things that bother her. They may not be important to YOU but they are important to HER. Try not patronizing.

    Not to complain, but I quit posting here because it's slow. I tried coming back a few months ago, and it wouldn't even load the pages. I'm glad to see they're working on it, however. I appreciate the effort, and I plan to check back frequently.

    I'm not a real big fan of the three bars at the left of the screen under our names. Just what is a level 1 anyway. Bring back the old system.

    That makes me angry , Smarts , it really does . . . smiley-face-thatsit.gif we've been friends a long time , and if you'd send me a pm with the mods name that suggested you leave , I'd appreciate it .


    Maybe the owner should just come clean and tell us what's really going on before everyone leaves , ya know ? sheesh


    Ostap , old buddy , I promised you I'd come here and post , and so I have kept my word . .

    PF is so totally screwed now , I can't blame anyone for leaving , I'm seriously considering it myself .

    People come and people go , Ostap ,

    Hi HillBilly, my old friend, in difference to many others Forums PF is one which has a reputation of a serious ones among news agencies, policymakers and surely lot of intelligences.This Forum is well monitored, just believe me. I know well what I say. Moreover in comparison to many others Forums PF is one which is large and relatively fair, you are allow here to complain against the partisanship or unfairness of mods.
    IMO it is not a good idea if posters leave PF, because although they can post somewhere else but effectiveness of their posting is much lesser as here.

    Even if PF has fewer posters it is one of the most important Political Forums in the English speaking area.

    Ostap , my old friend , here , have a seat with me at this nice little outdoor coffee & pastry cafe' , and let's enjoy the trout jumping in the river after a May fly hatch . my favorite time to dry fly fish ...

    I hope it is the same with you , where you are , in your area , where you live , understand , my friend ?

    It's not that I don't enjoy PF , because I do , but it's starting to smell like sour milk here on many forums .
