Ken from Regina, I've started to read in my mind as Ken from virgina!

And once the forum transitions, you're right drama personified will reign supreme. It may be deserved too, but I will wait.

The other VS standard forums to me do not have a palatable format.

I became curious about this and finally asked about the transition to VS Fora a few weeks ago.

The reply was that it would probably happen at some point but that there was no firm time frame.

I do not know how quickly such changes have been implemented on other sites but it seemed almost immediate.

Perhaps the adv deal was negotiated a bit differently ?

On another note, I had expected this site to become much busier; seems like fewer inmates are being banned vs drifting away...

I think you are right.

I have cut back my activity on advrider, concentrating mostly now on the NZ forum.

I was slightly PUI last night and thought it might be fun to have a few laughs on advr.

Fucking snoozefest.

Meh............
:lurker

I just gave up on ANYTHING but ride reports and tech stuff over there.
I still contribute photography stuff, but the politics and left wing nuts drove me out of the basement long ago.
Been watching my blood pressure and those idiots were not helping.

I like Banned Camp, and plan on staying here for any dignified talks of theology and life.

Besides, we got better boobs here. :LadyDraco

And on that note! Off to lunch at our favorite BBQ place upvalley.

Rudy changed it to unlimited licence to do whatever they want probably in conflict with international content laws then transferred that licence to VS. I was never asked. It is a mess.

Moderation standards have not improved. A lot of members, especially in the basement are a pack of animals led by the moderators.

I read the rules for this site. The same rules are meaningless on advrider. Moderators are certainly not neutral. Some of it is vile.

VS has brought aboard service degradation as a tool to get people they don't want to move on. Moderators are evasive on the subject.
Well,advrider was fun for a while.

Probably Baldy does care but that ceased to matter when he sold it to Rooty TootToot.

I'm not sure, though, that VS is necessarily driving the changes you've mentioned as much as they are responding to suggestions from site staff.

Moderators are evasive? They are drama queen douchenozzles. But that is the same as it ever was.

It's time to move on.

I barely post there anymore. A couple of Technical threads and 2 JM threads.
Thanks for the reminder about my subscription. I cancelled mine today. I guess it will still show supporter until it actually expires on Nov 1.
I'll let my adblocker keep things clean for me. AB was still showing 15-20 hits/blocks even with supporter which is supposed to be ad free. :finger
I luv puppies. All kinds. Sweater are my most luv'd.

I was supporting back in the day. Then just didn't turn it off. I haven't been banned in years. I'm sure that was when I just chose to avoid most of the basement. CS&M for sure!
I've even checked out of the other VOTB forum to keep myself out of trouble. I like it very much here. Any little jabs I get here, I take as light hearted joking. :thumb
