lol One doesn't have to be lurking to know what McGowen and Rollo have been talking about :laugh:

 
Let me guess...Dave found a conspiracy and nRollo is coincidentally discovering more reason why nVidia is AWESOME!

Actually Rollo is saying that he has left the site and will delete it from his bookmarks, after I told him that I thought he would have fared better in Babylon when they didn't have technology. :Q

He'll be back.

He's been griping about AT more than anything over there. Perhaps he needs some gripe water. :light:

😀
 
The last time I went to Dave's forum (some time back), he was banning people that disagreed with him to "protect free speech". Apopin, who I remembered from the video forum here as being a very pleasant fellow, was flat out insane. Crazy to the point that I decided it wasn't the same fellow. I'm surprised that Dave's site is still up to be honest, all I ever saw there was mental illness.


For the official record, I like Dave. He's barking mad, but he's a plucky fellow.
 
Personally I like the AT moderation. It's definitely needed. Keeps this place sane, calm, and keeps my blood pressure down.

I only had two problems with AT moderation and that was during the ban-happy phase ATF went through way back.

Perhaps that was another forum.

Oh, maybe you should ask him about it. I'm almost certain he has.
As long as sites stay small and maintain relatively low traffic, you can get by with no moderation. Especially if the members mostly get along. I've seen it experimented with a couple places, and a certain level of moderation proves necessary.
Hell, the only reason I didn't prove to Dave that he would have to moderate his forum at some point is because he's already batshit looney.
Old Dave was a decent guy, but he's gone now.
 
The day that the membership as a whole decides to stop attacking each other, trolling each other and can be 'self governed' is the day that I can finally have a day off. Even when I am on vacation from my regular job I am on duty here; banishing trolls and keeping the peace. If everyone respected each other, then we could all retire.

Wait, what? Did I retire to early? 😕
