Locked threads

We are not being silenced. Start another thread if you feel like it and don't get so dramatic.   If someone kicks you off the forum, and it becomes impossible for you to post, then you're silenced.

I've noticed a few people saying they are scared of being homeless and they don't like to hear the thought of the site folding being mentioned. That actually scares me as I think to see this as a home and not a forum isn't healthy, yes it's a sanctuary for us and it's a great source of debate and information, but to place SO much faith in this site when it could easily go the same way as the old one is setting yourself up for heartbreak.  The old site went and this one rose from its ashes, if it happened once it could happen again.  As for the complaining about wishing people a happy birthday (referring to truthprevails post), that's pretty mean-spirited, there are lots of things discussed which could be classed as non hoax-related, I have never clicked on a new post, read a simple birthday wish and got annoyed.  It took probably five seconds of my time, so what?  The friendly banter was something that made this feel like a family, as did the birthday wishes.  So I guess we all have to do that via PM now.  I realise most people didn't have a problem with it but all the niggles are starting to come out now. Negativity breeds negativity.  

bec your comments about a higher power than the admins being responsible for the site's survival intrigued me, I don't suppose you'd like to elaborate?  Again when people hint that they know inside info the rest of us aren't privvy to it can start the whole "them and us" situation again and we're (hopefully) trying to get past that.

As you all have noticed, several threads have been locked today.  I, as admin, really hope that the locking of these threads won't discourage our members of stating their opinion.  

Every dispute has its pros and cons, and all these pros and cons can be valuable.  A dispute simply can't be solved by silencing the participants, there are other and better ways to accomplish that.

The locking of these threads might suggest that there's no space for Freedom of Speech on these boards, and therefore I dissociate myself from the lockings.

I am glad someone else noticed that

There are no "higher powers" than the admins.  The "higher power" Bec is referring to is Badkolo.  Badkolo owns the domain and pays for the hosting.  SHOULD he ever decide to stop supporting this site then there's still no problem, as Souza and I both make backups of the forum on a regular base so the info will never be lost.  That's ALL there is to know.

Thank You Mo, it helps when someone explains the facts plain and simple.  Now we all know what bec meant and can stop asking.

Stop getting in my mind  :evil:
 
We are on the same wave lately , i totally agree

I noticed the threads being locked, and yes, the topics got out of hands.

[judgemental mode on]
I support the idea to open new threads questioning what is "so funny or interesting" in playing with people. And, btw, What a botched job once again! Looks like a kindergarden full of wanna be intelligent manipulators and psycho wanna be with no insight at all.
[judgemental mode off]

To be honest, looks like we accept all this junk drama because we hope that MJ is behind all of this and being alive and still, after more than a year, shady characters come up.

And Gina, no, we do not know Michael at all, we just know who he was observing his speeches, as the whole world did, but I can say loudly that I doubt that Michael was a bad person with twisted intentions.

Well, that's a bit harsh to judge T.S. that way ...........

Well, that´s a bit too quick thinking my post was talking about TS...

So funny...because I kept trying to figure out why he thought that was about TS...

So, keyboardwizz....are you TS too? Confession is cleansing for the soul.

[Le Papillon Bleu]

I see argues everywhere I go and makes me sad : this is a beautiful month...we should all say "sorry" and respect eachother in the future....Souza it was nice to see how you apologized.
I should go back to my seat now...and go on reading the threads...negative vibe makes me shiver. :?

No , I'm not, my soul is clean. T.S.'s identity still is a mystery the cynical remark was made by me because it was clearly a sneer, without  possession of any knowledge.

[You are so quick to dismiss the fact you may have been fooled or lied to or lead on and are questioning others for seeing or feeling it.

I might be totally out of my mind: "..... I created a lie but because you believed it you found something true about yourself."
Does it really matter who is the person creating the lie?
I said before I should be mad..... but I am simply NOT. In fact I am grateful.

Gina - You have my full RESPECT for standing for yourself!

Wherever the lies are, it will come out in due time! Until then keep your integrity no matter what! It is a valuable resource in today's World... those who have not got it, cannot steal it from you... all they can do is get you to throw it away!  Don't give them this Pleasure!

I think that we just have to be ourselves. In the end the truthfull is always recompensed no matter how/when and the truth is destined to prevail. Each one has his/her own conscience and if persons are playing silly games or whatever else this will be their problem and timely revealed (I have no one in mind and I am one who's been duped by trolls   ). If we really understand that the message is the most important and not the messenger and his/her supposed identity than it should be fine. We should not forget that we are responsible in the end for the choices we make and that there is no one to blame apart from us. I only put my unconditional trust in God. Now I realize that I may be off-topic... it went in all directions already not my fault   ...  it's a pattern  8-)

About locked threads... maybe that a warning before locking the thread would be better...     .... :idea:  :?:

Yes, that's right. It's like a little corporate empire here so no one person holds the kill switch, which is a wonderful system, very smart, the information is very secure for as long as the internet and the electric grid exist so will this information.

I am very grateful for this and have great confidence in how things function here.

I am not trying to be mysterious, I was trying to not talk out of turn yet simultaneously ease people's concerns.

Hi TheRunningGirl. Thank you    .
The members of this forum have to be "entertained", right? Kept busy, right?
Right now  it's funny to me now how people don't pay attention to what TS said, that he used another username around here. Is that so unimportant?! To me NOT.

... we get a free training in hoaxing  :lol:

I love this !!
