Hear that? That's the sound of progress.

Something I often think about is that we have people from all over the world, of all ages, and all walks of life here. Just something to think about...

AEG has been gone two years, and the NVIDIA run Focus Group has always had full disclosure, as well as rules against flame war participation.

What's done is done, if people wish to judge me by the past, they are welcome to. I've adressed these matters several times and it's unlikely my doing so again will do anything other than start yet another long argument about the past.

i don't believe you have *ever* addressed my specific two questions - link me to your addressing of these matters and i will be silent. Of course, your own motivation seems really hard for you to discuss openly. NP

IF you *really* will do as you are saying - now - i am not ONLY "all for it", i will JOIN you in becoming less confrontational and more helpful to other members. Actions speak louder than words as they say and we will be judged by our actions.

What do you think .. a new start?
-beginning right now?
:clock:

i think about that a lot .. i look forward to the day when hundreds of thousands of posters of all languages will be able to share with our unique family here. i want it to GROW - it cannot do that if we bicker and endlessly argue. Who wants to be part of a dysfunctional family?

2. ... (and even if he was me, not like I've disrupted the forum since my return)

that's highly debatable. Your mere presence here is disruptive. Your posting style is very aggressive and decidedly favors one company. In fact, I'm hard pressed to find ANYBODY on the entire AT forum who has a stronger bias towards one company.

I've watched the villification of Keys and re-living of the two year old AEG drama unfold in many threads here with sad disbelief.

WHAT??? How many old-timers are coming back on this thread (and many others) specifically to remind everybody of what you did? I don't blame you for being sad that your past actions have caused harm to another person, especially a quality person like keys, but do you really have "disbelief" over it? The focus group is going to continue to have a tarnished reputation, whether deserved or not, as long as you're associated with it and you continue posting here.

Man, now I know how jag feels after he "tells it like it is" ;)

In this post, I am commenting as a moderator. The original post has been edited. I am aware there are strong feelings in this forum. Regardless, you are adults and personal flames will not be tolerated. I do not believe this is news, and I don't have a dog in this fight. I do have in interest in civil behavior. If you choose to ignore my warning there will be consequences. I know you can discuss this in a civil matter. Please do so or refrain from posting.

Sad to see you go as a mod keys. I used to spend alot of time here in the video forums (years ago) but stopped after the issues with rollo and others and the lack of actual un-biased information present. I recently started lurking again and noticed things had GREATLY improved which was a surprise to me. The more time I spent reading threads I realized alot had to do with you. From my end you will always be the one associated with the vid forums turn around.

Now BFG on the other hand... well, he was also one of the reasons (a smaller one) that I stopped reading the vid forums a while ago. Not that he was in the same category as rollo (or some others), he was just a little too passionate for my tastes. I have read some of his recent posts and it looks like he is definitly a level headed mod now so I'm sure the vid forums will stay in good shape. Besides Keys, you can always yell at him if he's not ;)

See you around

To be perfectly honest, I'd like it if Keys came back as video mod to watch my back.

If anyone questioned him he can say "I stepped down, demonstrating I put the forum first, but people asked me to come back so I did".

I'd be first in line (well not first since I do have a life ;) ) to ask for him to come back though I don't want you to go anywhere either BFG. Gotta have two sets of eyes to watch those flamers... :)

I think that we should all pressure apoppin to take up the mod torch again. besides, he'll then feel obligated to play nicely with everyone ;)

I also agree that Keys should come back.

I notice a difference in his absence right away.

I simply wanted to open a discussion re: his relationship with NV and how it would affect the forums (and I'm glad I did so...just disappointed with the fact that he decided to leave).

yeah, I was working on him the other day about it. he seems somewhat reluctant, something about having to completely change his posting style and/or not ever being able to post in video again... I KNOW THE SOLUTION!!! we could make rollo a moderator but not allow him to post in here. apoppin could be his moderator watchdog to prevent any unfair bias. Wow, where do I come up with this stuff???:)
