Oh, Hi Vince.
I think I said everyone could get an online comp sub. If that never happened, then just email me and I'll make good. I think the offer was for the first 25 people.
I can't do the free print thing, different budget and all that. Plus free print subs are watched closely.

@ JHOLE -- I don't quite understand the question/relationship between you are asking.
But as best I understand it, posts can go on and on and no one notices. But when someone (especially several someones for the same post) report a violation, the item goes to customer service. As I stated before, the number of complaints during the month before the election was out of control.
@ calvin. thanks, I have a case of very cold beer in the garage, and I might need another.

how was anyone treated poorly before the big boot?
I think things were ok before the pogram....I honestly don't blame you guys for what you did...especially when the people complaining were us complaining against others .......
man I would have done a lot worse, believe me, but I would have done it up front......
I woould have told where when and why......
this wishy washy is what pisses most of the , well me off. I knew we were testing the waters with all the politico stuff, but.............anyways that's why you have to keep constant control of your kids.........or pretty soon they will role change on you.

So why you opening up now? Why not earlier? Why at all?
And why here?
Why not in your own domain of BT? (the biggest question of them all for me)
I'm glad it is the real JP and a prank like I init thought but seems more questions are being created than answered.
I gotta tune back in tomorrow. Got an early wake-up in the AM.

Sounds like a good idea might be to get rid of the report violations button.

JP,
online is correct, wouldn't expect a free print sub.

Jeezus, I missed a golden opportunity here. Shoulda charged a buck a head-could have kept this board up for a couple months.
But since I missed that one-here's one. The Auction for Boss Hoggs Craftsman Rabbit Plane, Hecks Brand New 4' FATMAX level w/case, Tim's hand smithed bottle opener is going on in the Auction Thread over there next door. End of auction is this FRIDAY. Current bid for the lot-60.01
And JP, how bout donating something for another auction? What the hell-good will and all. Either something from the closet, the tool test area, crap under Irontons desk or one of those online subs?
There, done.
thanks for the commercial break.

Kind of need to hit the hay myself. Feel free to keep posting questions and I'll pick up later.

"RE: treated poorly -- how was anyone treated poorly before the big boot? "
For a start not telling people that they where banned.
But rather directing them to a system error message.
"There was a problem with this page. Please try again."
That tells them to try and try and try again when you know that it won't work.

@ calvin -- sure, I'll ask Fink. I know we have a boatload of 16 gauge nailers.
I would have started this thread on BT if I knew it would draw so much traffic. Lots of ad impressions :-)
Actually, in the big picture, even the Tavern doesn't make a dent in page views and ad impressions.

Again, you're doing good. Thanks.
And tell justin I can keep this donation on the sly. No one will know where it came from.
Don't want any ill will and all that.

So what was the reasons for censoring a certain amount of words on BT, but not on Cookstalk, Knots, etc.
Why the censorship in the first place, and why only the builders?

@ heck -- I answered this for someone today -- We use a file of George Carlin's 7 dirty words and some others. My guess is that the other boards have a different file.
that;s all, nothing magic.

Here's what I would like. A simple statement of declaration.
Like OK we're gonna start over....or
OK lookit you guys are bums you are toast, get over it.
Or Man this ain't in my job description I don't know what the hell to do........let's get together and figure it out.
Or like my froend Rodney said :"Can't we all just get along?"
Whatever you are no longer an enemy, I been kicked out of real taverns in a far more sinister way.......but man I just gotta say "JP YOU HURT MY FEELINGS".....Beat me, kick me, but dear God don't ignore me!
HA! Good night.......whatever you do watch your ass I don't want to see you get in trouble at work.........

Some ideas kicking around are giving people blogs on FHB.com, creating an ask the experts panel, and a few others with legs. I'm also open to suggestions.
Might want to ttread there with caution. So far, I've found little to recommend the existing blogs. It probably does not help that my first impressions were ot a THOM-like being "talked at" rather that "talked to" sort of thing.
The great strength of BT, more so than Knots or Over the fence, or CT, is in the great diversity of people freely engaging in knowledge sharing; which also includes a certain amount of bias sharing, as well.
BT has always seemed to have the widest range of people within it, which is reflected in the metrics of the forum, which would be the envy of most fora, let alone specialty fora.
The Tavern has always been a place for esoterica; questions on computers, guns, recipes, Birthdays, all sorts of things. To me, it has been a place of great comardery.
