BuffJim Posted March 2, 2017 Share #3 Posted March 2, 2017 I went to Cleveland but he didn't want to meet me. That was about 3 or 4 years ago. He was getting a bit squirrelly then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't the only one. Caught me off guard as he always came off as a kind of goofy happy go lucky type to me. And then seeing his reaction, actually had me worried considering his collection he had. Not for myself personally, but in general due to the apparent lack of stability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I coudn't quite figure it, people had been moaning about the progressively bad software and treatment of us at the other place for years, and it was obvious that the forums weren't a priority at Rodale. At the end of the day, you can choose to stay in a bad place and get treated poorly, or move en masse to a better place that is better run by SW's, someone you know is more responsive and wants to do the right thing. Pretty much everybody came over here for a reason, I just can't imagine staying for no compelling reason. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrational anger, which it was very irrational, is a lack of stability, especially the degree to which the anger was displayed. And yes, the Rodale software sucked, it just go worse every iteration. The best was the old original threaded view style so you could easily follow replies and discussions within the topic. But we kept adjusting up until the last version which just the entire format and style actually gave me headaches, so I was forced to reduce my time there anyways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted March 2, 2017 Share #11 Posted March 2, 2017 Hacker is fine. He went out and got himself married to a guy named Jeb. He wasn't unstable either. He was just doing what the Liberal echo-chamber there did. You bastards just didn't connect the dots. He played a sick joke on you all.

I spoke with several people who stayed who expressed their sincere rage at you for leaving the LF. They seemed to feel that you were the lynch pin of the insurrection and blamed you for ruining the LF. I tried reasoning with them, but their anger was quite real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I'm picking up with Nate left off. They mean well but they are mentally unstable. It's true. Kim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted March 2, 2017 Share #14 Posted March 2, 2017 Rodale's software got even worse, if that can be imagined. If you get logged you, it seems your only option is to create a new profile. Once that gets logged out, it seems you need to just keep creating new profiles. I've seen several posts where people are begging for help, and not getting it. It's really a shame. Everyone is still welcome here, heck, we even let that @ParodyKilledCouch guy in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted March 2, 2017 Share #16 Posted March 2, 2017 I must admit I was torn. Right in two. I'm a very loyal person, but enough is enough. Hollywood could make a fascinating movie about the angst I had over making the switch. It could be called BuffJim's angst, maybe Leonardo Di Caprio could play me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted March 2, 2017 Share #28 Posted March 2, 2017 I came over here, cause if someone was nice enough to start this portal, I figured I would at least give it a try. I enjoyed the democratic way changes were implemented and felt that there was less bullying over here. I stopped back a few times afterwards to say hello over there, and it was like I had the scarlet letter on my forehead. Barely anyone would speak to me. I don't have time for double duty. I gave up posting over there. Hackier is still my FB buddy. He hasn't dropped me there. He has some funny picture posts with his lady. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, Rodale ruined the LF, I pointed that out to them at each software change. The forum moved over here, except for those who wanted to be mad at someone. Those that stayed had every option to come over in the first wave, were implored to come over, and were made to know and continue to be made to know that they are welcome here should they want to come here by pretty much everyone.

When we first came over here I used to go back and post occasionally but the place was a cesspool. I tried to lighten up the atmosphere a little but then it got to where I couldn't log in. It wasn't worth my time to try to fight my way back in. It's been a long time since I was able to get in, I haven't tried for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can kind of understand it if I think about it a different way, but you have to get real twisted in this scenario, so stay with me here... Imagine that those who stayed felt like the LF was a family member, and they knew it early on when it was still cute and big-eyed and could barely walk, and it grew and flowered with their effort. Then it became a teenager, and like all teenagers, it had growing pains. A few mishaps here and there, a couple of "I'll try harder"s and all is forgiven, right? It had lovely parents and came from a good home, you see. But it didn't get better, it got worse. Animals around the neighborhood go missing after playing with the LF, the neighborhood kids don't want anything to do with it, but it is family, and you will stick with it while you put it through therapy. Later there is bullying and those missing animals turn up skinned and sodomized, then a few B & E's, then aggravated assault arrests, and you know there is no way you can reach this forum, it is too late. But like a deer in the headlights, you stay and watch the drowning rats scramble for anything to float on, while the forum punches out your grandmother and you know you should tell it to never come back because you know the next time, grandma isn't going to get off with a just a concussion and a broken pelvis. Anyway, that is one scenario where I see people being able to stay, an aversion to the reality of the situation, one where the forum is coming for them next. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
