That's an easy claim to make but why not start a tread from time to time.

It's been believed before, only to have the place come back to life.

I hope as the election nears, things will pick up. I hope so. I self banned myself from The Police Blotter because of the targeted banning of members that has turned it into the circle jerk that it has become, so my post count is down, but I check the rest of the forum daily.

I poke my head in a few times a day to see if anyone has said anything.

I poke my head in a few times a day to see if anyone has said anything. A message forum is a discussion medium, where people discuss. I fear most think this is a news site and they expect to read and never actually contribute. |

As a very rare poster, it's the venom. I don't understand the level of outright meanness on this board. I have always viewed it.. seemed like it was much more friendly back in the day. Too many hateful and smartassed remarks to things on here now. People who aren't already known don't like jumping into places where the people that DO know each other aren't civil with each other.

Eric I agree with you completely!! I can promise that will not happen (or if it does it won't stay long) on any of the sections that have my name as mod. Different threads different mods different tolerance levels. There seem to be people that love to smash/dash/condemn everything someone else says but honestly I don't think they are smart enough to come up with a positive let alone interesting idea. CMFNewsman posts a lot of news stories but I'm sure everyone that actually reads news finds an interesting story from time to time.. sure would be cool if they took the minute or so to post them. Our sections change from time to time and if you have something you think cool but don't know where it should go, put it in general. One of the mods will move it if it needs to be moved. this forum has been "up" for a very long time. Facebook/myspace and twitter have taken heavy tolls on message board traffic but you have to remember facebook is "person" driven where the message board is "subject" driven. Big difference and I think both have their place. |

No, not unemployed. The exact opposite, in fact -- been very busy with work and just haven't had time to play with the CMF.

He lives!!!
It was mentioned by a few Riverbend attendees you were not seen, now we know why.
But now I think of it that may have been a self imposed absence.

"Back in the day"... I used to say "Read more, Post Less" to those that had a constipation of thought and a diarrhea of words.
I revoke that statement! get busy posting.... This is one of the few places I can still visit from my work desk.

We did make it down to the Goo Goo Dolls night, but that was our only appearance. Both of us really have been that busy.

,.... anything as long as it's not media related. which is the original reason this message board was created.
that ban really, really needs to go. Nobody @ cumulus gives a damn about this site (seriously, as evidence of my postings) and I seriously doubt anybody @ Channel 3 cares.
The only ones who might are Brewer Broadcasting. B/c they care about all the wrong things. That's why their products are garbage. And nobody w/ any kind of connection with this site that I'm aware of works for Brewer.
They all were fired.

Bryan - I know I've explained this to you several times, but here it goes again: I cut the radio/TV category loose from the CMF several years ago because it had become about 99% negative and was affecting my employment opportunities.
It's really that simple. Even though I haven't been involved in the day-to-day operations of the CMF for a number of years, it's still identified in the minds of media people are "belonging" to me, for good or ill.
