Proximer, i understand your frustration, but i think the majority thinks you made a good Job even without Support of GS!
So just do them a favor and think about it again!

nope , Plan E is better !

Yes, Proxy, I do believe Plan E is going to make it.

Adios, leeches !!!

hmm... I recently found this forum and sure, in the beginning I mostly hang around, DL the great stuff you godish posters contributed.
Now I have started contributing myself and felt this was the forum for me, here I can make a name!
I'm rambling, but it makes me sad seeing great mods and posters packing their bags. For me GS Isn't the one who owns this forum... It's you mods and the top posters! Though, I can see why you're moving on... Just wanted to have that said.

Thanks for your time and effort, and hope you'll find your spot!

Actually, GS DOES own this forum. Those great contributors that left did so because (1) they felt that they were being used unfairly and (2) the promised rewards seemed to be rather hollow - most had not received their promised free passes. Additionally, some of them that were moderators felt neglected by the admin.

From the discussions I've seen, most, like myself weren't contributing for the sake of the free passes. Likewise, there is a recognition that they were being used, something that was accepted. However, it got to the point where they felt that when you connected the dots on a number of subtle and not so subtle signals, that the situation had become clearly one of unfair use. I'm not sure if GS realized how much of a bonding had occured with the majority of big posters, and when some were offended, they left as a group. They have found their new home.

It's really too bad. This was a great place. I've enjoyed it.

For the record, I was promised my pass for 300 posts about a month ago. So far, nothing. <shrug>

Not to argue with myself, but simply advancing my argument further:

The difference between using and abusing is the nature of the implicit contract. Let's got back to what started the thread, the observation that:

Quote:

In the ensuing discussion, it became apparent that the purpose of this forum was to feed the fish so that the owner of the site could reel some of these into his paysite. The nourishment that attracted these fish were the posts. (Another statistic: The top 100 posters out of 31474 - less than 1/3 of 1% - are responsible for 62,315 out of the 11,529 posts that have been made - or just under 56.5%)

Now lets extend the auquatic ecology alegory. What happens when the prey which feeds a species disappears or its numbers fall dramatically? This has a ripple efect up the food chain!

It's been quite quiet here for the past few days, ever since a number of the posters on that top 100 list and a couple of moderators, got peeved and left. Some deleted all the links in their thread, implementing the famous Russian Scorched Earth policy that killed off Napolean's Army.

Scorched, barren farms eventually come back. Ecosystems adapt. But here's where the alegory differs: This is not truly an ecosystem. The damage can be reversed almost instantaneously. It should be obvious what needs to be done. This place can be an exciting, vibrant forum, the best place on the net to discuss and trade porn. All it takes is some leadership that has not been shown so far. It simply takes leadership that will do the right things.

If anybody's interested, listman (that's me) has compiled that following list of top 100 posters, as of about 45 minutes ago:

I wonder how many of the 96 people eligible have received their passes? Others at the top were eligible many times over and have received nothing.

Finally, what did the moderators get for all their hard work keeping this such a great place? The occasional "Thank You!" from posters like you and me. They also had the priveledge of having their emails to the administrator ignored. They weren't given the powers that moderators at other boards have. That sound like abuse to me.

You just did post, revo777, and I'd say that you made a most excellant post! That you had nothing in the form of a picture or vid doesn't matter, because what you did have to offer, imhgo, is as good - and that's a compliment! Lurkers/Leechers - what you all don't seem to understand is that you have an amazing power within your grasps - and that is the ability to commend or pat on the back the poster whose work you admire... Try it! I've seen some great posts that have gone unreponded to lately, and these people deserve more than your fangs sucking their posts dry without even a reach around.

Is it really a reach-around when the poster in question is only about 8 inches high?

More like reaching down to wiggle a loose wire........

JK Gnome, you know you're 10 feet tall in my book!
