i don't know the history of RF.net too well
obviously right now its very negative and angry everywhere, but is that the normal state of the board and then there is brief pockets of time where it seems more laid back (like when the bombshelter was started) or is this a fairly new thing?
i think its very hard to force a messageboard to be something else. remember a year or 2 ago when there was new messageboards every single day? there hasn't been a new board in a while, i think that would be a good thing. A healthy purge...give the miserable people who haven't had fun on this site in years a new rejuvenation at a new place.

Where is this negativity? It's mainly anti-fez or anti-east side dave shit. We HAD a solution for that, with all the non-contributing anti-ESD posts going into the East Side Dave hate thread. What happened to that?
Truth be told, a lot of the negative bullshit on this board is set up because Gvac has free reign to post whatever he wants. But seriously - how can someone get away with making that many shit-stirring threads and then be an agent for change? He's contributing to the culture of negativity on this board, and what's more, he's not fostering an environment for new posters feeling welcome to post or contribute.

yeah, i don't think this board is accessible at all to new posters. I made the point before but its a "ron & fez fan fansite" instead of a "ron & fez fansite". i'm not saying that it should be one way or another but its how i see things currently. And I can't think of too many big 2009 posters bringing a fresh perspective. Its a lot of old people talking about how "the site isn't what it used to be"

The biggest problem I see these days is there's too many people starting what they think are "outrageous" threads hoping Ron mentions them on air.
Tenbatsuzen
05-24-2009, 08:21 PM
Thought: I don't blame Gvac for the issues this board has, but I think everyone is trying to find a scapegoat.
But here's something I thought of. Gvac's made a point of attacking the listening threads. Now, I don't post a lot in the listening threads. I couldn't care either way about them. But if someone doesn't like a thread, why do you go out of your way to point out how "bad" the threads are?
The threads don't destroy the quality of the show. They are there for people's enjoyment while the show is going on. If you don't like them, don't read and/or post in them, and don't belittle the people that DO post in them!
This place isn't "dead". When R&F were at JFK, I think the board had a lot less activity then, but that could be rose-colored glasses. I'm not sure.
I don't think the end of FBA is what caused the negativity here to skyrocket. Quite honestly, I think it's Wackbag's overmodding that caused people to come over here and start shit. But that's my OPINION, not fact.

It's not a lot of old people. At most, it's 5-10 people spewing the same text diarrhea in a majority of threads.
We've had a couple of posters leave or scale back their posting because of some of the issues that have been brought up in this thread. I could name names, but if you look at people's posting histories, you may get an idea of who I'm talking about.
Here are some ideas I thought of...
RF.net's "Summer Vacation" - the board is closed while the boys are on summer vacation.
Mods don't ban, but the threats to ban get worthless. Be more liberal with the three point infractions and stop idiots from posting for a while.

The thing is, most of Gvac's threads when he's in shit-stirring mode are personally motivated tirades.
Gvac doesn't talk about the show, he just talks about the board. Constantly. And it's becoming really, really weak. And quite frankly, I can see why new posters may be hesitant to join in.

Is it just me or do other people not see the "Huge Looming Crisis" that others do. And I'm not talking about this thread. This is just Tenbat's thoughts.
But I've seen a few "Close this place down" threads and a few other posts suggesting that this place is on the verge of falling apart or ripping itself apart.
I just don't see it or feel it.
There's a lot of trolls lately that like to log on, shit on the show and log out or worse yet, act like they are being persecuted when people don't agree with them.
Fuck those cunts to death.
They don't represent the majority of us and they can't ruin this board for us. This place is much the same as it's always been in my mind. And I will add if you don't like posting here, leave. I did, twice. I left and came back in a few months. Just go, no one is keeping you here to suffer and there's also other messageboard that deal with Ron and Fez out there. Or at least there was, I don't post on them.

Except this place did reach its zenith of gaydom a few weeks ago with grown men posting pics of themselves begging for compliments from other men. That may have been a low point.

Mmmhmm. These people are dealing in absolutes, with shocking solutions, which means they are only attention-seeking LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME jerkoffs without coming up with actual real, usable solutions to solve the problems the board has, perceived or not.
For example... moderation. It could be tighter. I'm not saying everyone gets banned, but if you KNOW someone is being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole (and to cover my own ass, not being entertaining), why DON'T you infract them instead of the standard "knock it off" warning that is said over and over again? it's obvious some posters like SP1 and Fez's Assistant aren't going to get it, so why let them post? There's negativity when you actually have a position to post about, and then there's negativity for the sake of being negative and attention-whoring.

This is a good thread, im glad it didnt turn into a shit storm like mikey thought it would (altho it's pretty one sided)
I have no complaints about the board. The board changes, it always will. Old people will leave, new people will start posting, there's really nothing we can do about it. I dont really see increased negativity. Maybe some people are more vocal about their uninformed opinions, but they have that right and they can become the butt of the joke. As far as FBA goes, the majority of the posters who continue to post here from that board are great contributors, they are what rf.net needs. The shitty FBA posters stopped posting soon after they signed up here when they realized they didnt fit in.
When it comes to threads that dont interest me, I just dont post. For example, hottest board member, creep tournament, I just ignore them. I know there are some board members who enjoy that and who are we to destroy their fun?

It's simple Matty, we need our admin to give a shit. Outside of Mikeyboy, we don't have that. We also need to filter out the useless/not needed mods. I'm sorry, do we really need a mod for every show, exercise, cookbook and podcast?! That simple structure in itself sets this place up for a lack of respect and understanding for both mods and admin.
And finally, there isn't a person on this board cooler to new posters than Gvac. For Gaz and or Ten to act as if recent posters can't contribute is insane. I can rattle off plenty of great new posters here if needed, the only problem is my favs SURELY won't line up with yours.

Do you think the fact that Moe didn't like Don and Mike made him look inside and never post on the topic?! Should you do the same just bc you don't like Crazy Jen!? Fuck no, so just stop acting as if this place needs to be filled with appreciation threads and cocksucking. I for one love myself a nice ballbusting thread or night on the board. For me, that's fun....for Moe, it's telling us how "death metal" he is and what shampoos he digs. To each his own, just don't expect me to look the other way when I would rather jump right in.

Ok this is getting out of hand.
some of you know me, others don't. Some don't like me, others do.
I joined up in 2001 and this board has been a great source of entertainment, amusement, and aggrivation.
Of course it has it's ups and downs. Any place you go to and spend alot of time at will have those moments. I appreciate that I got to know a few people from here outside of the board. And those who I only see at the "board functions" are just as cool.
Do I think this board needs to be shut down?. No.
But again, as it has been stated before, if you don't like the board AS A WHOLE then move on and don't stand around bitching about it. Most of you are grown men and women, and yet you bicker like little children who aren't getting their way.
Man up and move on if you are that unhappy.
There are some areas of this board I don't like or don't know about, so I don't go to them. I only go to where I like. I don't even have XM so I haven't heard R&F in over a year.
Do I miss it? Sure...but I can live without it.
Just like this board. I am more grateful then anything for this place. I did more in my life because of alot of the people here then I would have in the past.
If it ended I would be a little sad but my life, like most of you on here, is pretty busy and needs attending to. This place shouldn't be all consuming.
We're all not going to get along but for christs' sake you don't have to turn things in a hate forum all the time (unless someone is obviously being a dick and needs to be called out)
again, this is IMHO. Take it for what it's worth...I like this place overall and I think alot of good and sincere people are here. No reason to let some folks being angry over-ride the good things about this place.
But do we REALLY NEED a appreciation thread FOR the board? I mean sheesh.....:wink:
Anyway.....Matty, moe and a few others had some good points here and there.

Your ideas are simply put, awful. Are you making these in jest, bc it surely seems like it.
It's simple Matty, we need our admin to give a shit. Outside of Mikeyboy, we don't have that. We also need to filter out the useless/not needed mods. I'm sorry, do we really need a mod for every show, exercise, cookbook and podcast?! That simple structure in itself sets this place up for a lack of respect and understanding for both mods and admin.
Jon's responsibilities are the technical content of the board. Hottub gives a shit.
It's a big board. A lot of mods are needed. However, I think some mods overstep their bounds just because they don't like certain posters.
Being a mod is a thankless job, unfortunately, because you have to go through threads you don't want to read, deal with immature posters, etc.
Tenbatsuzen
05-25-2009, 12:06 PM
But that's their right to do so, and if you don't like it do EXACTLY what you told Gvac to do about the listening threads. Right!? It really is that simple.
And I don't. Unfortunately, other posters don't have the same amount of self control that I do.
What started as a bit on the show turned into one of the biggest shit-stirring threads on this board.

You do realize that probably 75 percent of those new posters that Gvac is cool to are either his board characters or his cronies board characters?
I wasn't referrring to Gvac's attitude towards new posters, I was referring to Gvac's attitude ABOUT the board. With his shenanigans, it doesn't create an environment that new people want to jump in and contribute to.

Admin matty, hottub isn't an admin. And I'd easily argue that some MODS care too much and have no history with the board when they get the gig. Ulterior motives are all over when it comes to the power struggles of this board and it's link to the show. I don't really need to get INTO the politics for you to understand there is a constant play ongoing here. We simply DO NOT need this many mods, that's easily noted.
Bottom line, MIKEYBOY is the ONLY Admin who is ever fucking here Matty, and tech is not his strength. I give him a lot of credit for being the seemingly one guy who gives a fuck, but he truly needs to get a crew who can work with him and not be afraid to give harsh feedback as well. Let's be honest, as much as Hottub cares, do you really think he'll ever say a harsh word about anything show or board related that isn't a majority op!? No

Really?
Name them.
Go ahead.
I dare you.
I'll bet you any amount of money you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. But then again that never stopped you from shooting your mouth off anyway, did it?
I have "cronies?"
My "cronies" have board characters?
I'm "nice" to my characters?
You really have to stop being so obsessed with me and get a life of your own.

i don't know of ... or really care about the issues between matty and gvac.
but i thought the beginning of this thread went pretty well.. there were a couple of good ideas and thoughts shared.
i won't pretend to know anything about how to make a message board better. these days it seems like life without Any board is a healthier life choice, to be honest. but i don't understand the negativity. and while i am trying to spend less time on the internet... i can't deny that the 'uprisings' of late have gotten to me a little.
this place isn't what it used to be. of course not... everything in the world exists in cycles.
we either react and adjust or we break away.
just like life.. relationships begin... and end.... sometimes it's a growth opportunity... and sometimes it beats you into the ground.
in the end... you just have to accept it.
the decision to go or stay is your own.
but i think that if you stay... then you should try to be a positive force.
flies or bees to honey and all.. blabla
i don't know. that is just my random $.02.

Thought #2. The negativity for the sake of negativity on ESD is a bit much, and I think things like infractions should be used a bit more liberally in cases like that, but that goes back to Thought #1.
are you trying to take away all the fake infractions that I give out? how dare you!
I don't think I like this one bit - I'm giving you 2 fake infractions.
