Folks, It's official. We are going to joining with Game Show Paradise. I'm going to get things ready as soon as she can make me an admin, and as soon as I get all the boards up and stuff, I encourage you to register to get a feel of things. You can register now, but be sure to post and talk in the right thread or forum for the conversation. The change won't be mandatory until May 5. Then, these boards will be "archived" as "read only". First off, if you don't like this change, you don't have to register. Game Show Paradise isn't really much different than here. It's a great community, and we want to make the community bigger, which is why we're joining together.
Second, I'd appreciate it if you guys would support me in this change, a lot of you are my friends, and I know you guys are uneasy with change, but if you can use this forum, you can use that forum. I bet if we did this from the start, you wouldn't mind it. JUST GIVE IT A CHANCE. If you don't like it, you can leave, or if you don't want to do it, don't. But, all you can do is get used to it.gsparadise.proboards.com/ - SAME SERVER Thanks.

So basically the vote was pointless.

So basically the vote was pointless. It wasn't pointless. I wanted to see how the results would be. A lot of you have problems with change, GSP isn't much different than here. Its the same server, but alas, no ones asking you guys to register. I don't mean to come off as rude saying that. I'm not saying "screw you" either. Of course not, at GSP we are welcoming.

A lot of you have problems with change And that includes me - somewhat. I don't like change, but I can learn to understand that it's going to happen sooner rather than later.

WELL PHIMAT, I WILL TELL WHAT HAPPENED TO ME ON MANDOLI'S SITE! A THREAD ASKED WHAT IS A FAVORITE MOVIE OF YOURS. SO I POSTED TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY. IT IS A BRITISH CLASSIC MYSTERY. YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I BLEW THE PLACE UP! LARGE ORANGE AND YELLOW WRITING SPLASHED ACROSS MY POST SAYING THIS WAS AN INAPPROPRIATE POST. I THOUGHT HUH? WHAT THE HECK? I WENT BACK LATER AND THE SO CALLED BOARD PLASTERED ACROSS IT--"THIS POST IS BLOCKED FROM VIEW!" REALLY?! CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS?

REALLY?! CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS? We had questionable folks coming in, posting hate messages and whatnot. For a little bit, we were approving posts so that kind of thing didn't happen again. I thought it was best to remove that about a week or two ago, because the people that posted hate messages and racially insensitive posts were banned permanently. It's also a plug-in for the boards - support.proboards.com/post/5504556I thought we had posted it in quite a few places, just so people could understand just what was going on. It was nothing that you did.

... Okay. Either I'm just pissing (can I use that word?) people off with the truth, or y'all just don't want to respond to it.
I'm that much of a complete jerk to y'all. Right or right?

No, not pissed off at you. I just don't understand why Phimat did the vote to see how we all felt about it. And then went ahead & decided to join the websites anyways, know that mostly everyone said they didn't want to. No offense to you Mandoli, but this site is for GSN Members only, whereas your site is for all game shows or whatever. I checked your site out & personally I don't like it. And it's confusing. Most of us all know each other here because we all talked to each other on the GSN website when they still had the forums. And we like it like that. Going to your site we will be getting mixed in with a bunch of other random people. Someone mentioned to Phimat that if he didn't want to admin this site anymore to hand it over to someone else, but he claims that's not the reason for joining the two. However it seems like it is, since he's so intent on doing this knowing that most of us don't want it to happen. It's not that I don't like change, but like I said before, we all know each other here, we're all like a little GSN family & we like it that way. It's just disappointing that Phimat took the vote, saw that most the votes were "no", but still decided on his own to make the change. Makes us (not speaking for EVERYone) feel like our opinions or feelings on the change didn't matter.

xOleleeOx I agree with you 100%. If Phimat is unwilling to let someone else take over this site then maybe one of us could start a new one just like this one. At the bottom of this page there is a link to get your own free message board and forums. I don't know how hard it is but they make it sound easy. Anyway from what I gather there is not much time and we would need to let everyone who likes this the way it is know about it. I am not up to speed with computer stuff but I will try to learn more.

Going to your site we will be getting mixed in with a bunch of other random people. I don't want to start another war, but my board is/was supposed to be for GSN people to go to - although I never said straight-up that I was restricting the site to just GSN members. A lot of us from the boards are there. Maybe I didn't see you because I mainly posted in the game shows/OT boards. That might be why people are a little confused. Sections for the board (and everyone follow along) are: Important information (rules, questions, advertising of your boards) Game show chatter (categorized by era/general) Oodles/tokens discussion (fairly obvious what that's about) Off-topic discussion (almost nothing to do with game shows) Staff talk (for the staff members only) Board archive (anything that doesn't need to be around the boards) Honestly, I can't do anything about it unless I know why people find the board confusing. It was never supposed to be made exactly like the GSN boards. Unless people come forward and tell me why they ( EDIT: Spelling fail.) think the board's confusing to navigate, there's nothing I'm going to do to make it un-confusing (is that even a word?). A good chunk of those of us who are on that board are GSN.com members. Some of us don't use our GSN.com handles. My GSN.com handle is racingchick1020 - as mentioned, I didn't post in Oodles/tokens boards all that much. Here's one of my sample posts. Other members over at my forum are PrincessVinnie (under a different name), CardSharks8689, Chameleonwhammy, and TheNewNeko (under a different name). That's only a few of us. Plenty of others. EDIT #2: Forgot this was up... The fact that the plugin was to prevent idiots from free-posting on the board. When I state that, I mean anyone who wanted to flood the board with pointless spam.

I don't understand what you mean by plugin . . . and I'm pretty tech-savvy. Maybe that's why there was no response - because we didn't know you were expecting any . . . or how to respond, for that matter. You and @phimat37 seem to be the only ones who have created a forum and you're talking technical stuff when we're trying to explain the practicality of it. (The emphasis on them being on the same server . . . why?) I don't speak for everyone, but as x0lelee0x was alluding, we joined this forum until such a time that GSN activates their new one for us. We don't want to have to keep rejoining boards . . . this one is here and we feel it should stay. I'd be more than willing to take over the admin for this forum if that's what it would take to keep it open because, honestly, if these forums close, I won't be joining any other forums. I'll just use the GSN facebook page to get the trivia answers because that's the only reason I'm here.

Best definition without me messing it up by accident. I was hoping cheryl would understand that it wasn't meant to be against her - because we weren't attempting or purposely enforcing anything upon her.
