wow...it just exploded AGAIN :|
Keep it in messengers or PMs?
yes thank you. wth? i specifically wrote up the rules for Guys and Girls of BZ, stating that not everyone can have his or her own thread. he needs to recognize that not everyone gets a "home"
*eye twitch*
Can he not understand english? WHAT IS THIS? Honestly, for the love of all that is fucking holy.
What part of "YOU CANNOT HAVE THIS KIND OF THREAD" does not compute? WHAT?
Someone get me aspirin. I think my head might explode, and we already have Nicole goo everywhere
As if that had been the most self-serving thread ever created in General Talk. 
It was merely successful...annoyingly so. But hey, you guys rule.
How is Lazy's "Milestones and Hospitality" thread any different from this:
http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?showtopic=4743 
or this??
idk but those people annoy me as well if it's any consolation 
i was thinking about how if lazy had just done what most people do - make the thread in the M&H forum, and if he hadnt been such a blatant whore about it - he totally could've gotten away with it.
the only thing i will say is that lazy's thread didnt look like there was ever gonna be any end to it...whereas theirs will eventually die? 
i've got nothing. basically he pissed me off when meghan told him to stop leaving joking threats and whatnot about me and take his problems with me to PMs...and then he went and talked about it in his thread <_<
the only thing i will say is that lazy's thread didnt look like there was ever gonna be any end to it...whereas theirs will eventually die? :
That makes sense. 
So when does the signature rule go into effect? The members had one week to make adjustments to their sigs.
haha oh yeah...um about that...weren't we gonna change it again because we realized default actually ISNT size 3? that was one issue and the other was that Jimmy pointed out that 6 lines of default text is still less than an image + 3 lines so ummm we should change it to something like...if you have text only it should be no higher than the equivalent of images + 3 lines?
if nothing else the part about default being size 3 needs to change
otherwise though, the rule should already be in effect
the only thing i will say is that lazy's thread didnt look like there was ever gonna be any end to it...whereas theirs will eventually die? :
That makes sense.
What would have made sense is to move the thread to the M&H section, not punish a guy for having a successful thread just because he annoys us.
What would make sense is if you could address us and the way we handle issues without the "wit" and sarcasm. Certainly a comment such as this:
As if that had been the most self-serving thread ever created in General Talk.
doesn't make me want to listen to anything you have to say
Despite wanting his thread gone, I didn't feel it was necessarily a clear cut issue (which is why when I originally brought it up I questioned if we had any grounds for removal) and would have been willing to listen to different sides of the issue. I didn't see you address it then. You're now only addressing it after it was brought up the 2nd time around and a decision has already been made. Yes, I'm sure you weren't on last night but I'm thinking you were on sometime after I brought this up in the first place. Maybe I'm wrong or crazy or whatever.
But more importantly it'd be nice if you didn't always have to make some snide remark about the way we handle things. I have tried to make efforts, and I was trying to be friends with you again, because there's a lot about our friendship that I do miss. But then you go and say things like this, and other stuff like referring to us as "Queens" or whatever. You talk about Ashley lacking tact, but you're not any better. Have I been nasty to you lately to deserve this kind of sarcasm? I have been making efforts when we disagree about stuff to explain it in a way that makes my point clear without being bitchy to you. At least I thought I had. Maybe I'm still coming out bitchy and I don't even realize it. I'm willing to admit that. Anyway when you go and do this kind of thing...over and over, I don't know what to say to you anymore. It's bad enough that people on this board make moderating difficult but to get it in staff area as well is just too much.
Guess it's frustrating that I'm NOT on here every day and even when I am I don't make it to every thread, so I miss alot. Anyway, the whole thing seemed to go down before I had time to even consider it and make any sort of argument. Yes, I saw that you guys were annoyed with his thread but I didn't really think it would seriously be deleted so I didn't comment the first time (imagine that, I refrained). Also, it sucked to see us delete a thread based on the fact that we didn't like him. I makes us look like little fuckin' kids. His thread was too successful and we got jealous and deleted it. I admit, it annoyed me too, but I didn't think we should delete the stupid thread. So I fall back on my one lame gesture...sarcasm (which isn't alway directed at anyone in particular, many times it's just a general outburst). :|
You talk about Ashley lacking tact, but you're not any better.
This accusation is very broad, inflammatory and if it does address a specific past issue, it is just that....past and specific... something that should not be stirred up. Ashley and I obviously have had our differences and these do not need encouragement. As for my lack of tact...of course, I am an ass.
As for you Nicole, I didn't realize we even talked much still. Maybe I'm missing something? You say you've "tried to make efforts"...you have? When? The few times we've IMed it's been ok (except for one). Unless of course, you haven't told me outright at the time.
Also, not to worry, I'll steer clear of the BZNTM this time. Seem that's what you guys want anyway. (that's not sarcasm, it's just an observation)
First part: I get what you're saying (i.e. I get your stance on that issue) but the excuse that you didn't think it would actually get deleted so you simply refrained from commenting when I brought it up simply does not jive with me. If you had an opinion on it, it would have been wise to express it. To complain about something after the fact simply doesn't make sense when you had the opportunity to say something originally. If you hadn't seen my complaint the first time around, that would be a different story altogether. But what I'm understanding is that you did.
Second part: You're right the accusation is broad and inflammatory, but that doesn't make it untrue. The comment is less about you and Ashley (i.e. it's not meant to stir the pot any more btwn you two, not that that's really possible) and more about the fact that you can accuse her of something while doing the same yourself time and again. And I consider this to be one of those times (that's why I brought it up). The "You guys rule" was unnecessary and inappropriate. As I said, hearing your opinion - even a dissenting one - does not bother me. Hearing it in this sarcastic manner, does.
Third part: No, we don't talk as much as we used to. But we do talk. Which is more than we were doing for a good month or so. Also, by trying to explain my positions to you here without being nasty about it. That is what I mean by making an effort and trying. My wording I guess was wrong. I talk to you, and everything is going okay or so it seems and then something goes awry I feel - e.g you make a sarcastic remark here, and while I didn't read it as ONLY directed at me, I did read it as directed at all of us who took part in that decision, and I simply don't see how being sarcastic to those who made the decision is helpful in any way. If it's not directed at anyone in particular, I still stand by the idea that it's not particularly helpful to the staff. And that ultimately is what we're supposed to be discussing here (despite my small digressions).
I don't expect us all to be friends, but it would be nice if we could get along somewhat at least when it comes to discussing issues related to the board. We do not have to always agree and I don't expect us to. Example: I don't always agree with Taha on issues and he doesn't always agree with me, but I always feel that I can talk stuff out with him and reach some kind of conclusion because he doesn't do it in a sarcastic, snide manner. I love sarcasm, don't get me wrong, but it's not useful in staff decision making, especially when it's done all the time.
Re: BZNTM. Not sure how that's even relevant but my own decisions regarding that competion have been made regardless of you. Whether or not you choose to believe that is up to you.
I guess all of this comes down to time. Sarcasm and snide remarks are easy and don't take much time. I'm an ass simply because I haven't taken the time NOT to be one. (even now I'm being "pestered" to go play bug-bug-under-a-rug) Many times here I realize after the fact that my comments were taken more harshly than I meant them. Maybe I was slightly irritated, but my sarcasm is taken pretty strong. In other words, I suppose I should take more time in my responses. With this in mind, I will probably respond even less though, seeing as I have to be very thorough and don't always have the time to be.
I can get along with pretty much anyone. I don't really hold grudges when it comes to online stuff, and I can admit when I'm wrong too. Life's too short to hold on to crap like that. And for the record, Ashley...Please forgive me for being an ass to you. Sorry you guys about the "queens" remark too.
Thanks Jimmy. I appreciate the apology. Really I think the queens remark bothered me so much cause you said it on MSN and I just thought huh? Was that necessary? Btw, I just realized - I'm not sure if you thought I signed off on you on purpose that day but I actually didn't. My msn just kind of froze and I had to end prgm...then forgot to start it up again for a long while :| Aaand if you didn't notice that, then pretend I didn't say anything
And I do understand that you don't always have time to give long responses...with that I say, go play bug under a rug with your daughter.
maybe I'm used to people falling off the edge of the MSN-earth. :|
actually, that response took 30 minutes to type cause I ended up playing bug-bug-under-the-rug before I finished.
Very good.
What exactly is bug in a rug btw? 
I feel I was deprived 
A version of this I assume (we used stuffed animals):
Bug In The Rug Game
During this circle time "who's missing" game by Tammy youngsters use observation and memory skills.
Materials: A Large sheet or blanket.
Description: Teachers lay a large sheet on the floor. The group of children set around it. One child steps away from the group and closes his / her eyes. The teacher taps a child and he / she gets under the "rug". The child that was away from the group with their eyes closed comes back. Now the rest of the children chant:
Bug in the rug,
Bug in the rug.
Whose that bug in the rug?
The child has to guess who is under the rug by looking around to see who is missing. The child under the rug is then revealed.
Ohhh I see. I was about to ask how did you pull that off...then realized, you'd already said with stuffed animals Wooo slow today :|
