Hey Rumpleforeskin: What Do You Like and/or Dislike About This Board?

[coaquest]

As Mr Yum ,said: that you have opened this thread spekas volumes about your integerty! (that's our accent, not a typo)

WE (married monogamous couple) are very glad to have found your board and read avidly! We have a concept we are working on, and as a consequence, we have been "lurkers" here up to now.

Likes:

Real webmasters discussing real mechanics / operations / situations.

Real and honest opinions, answers, and suggestions...not trumped up BS *free advertiseing* crap.

Dislikes:

We don't really DIS-like anything about the board. We are sometimes overwhelmed by the shear wealth of information available...but that is also something we like about this board...and your whole GG&J idiom altogether. WE don't hink you should try to pander to a narrow demographic within this already specific genre of Web-Folk. WE think that it is up to all of us on our own to disseminate.

Sometimes there are cat-fights on the board...but they are more entertaining than bothersome, especially when it is obvious that the involved parties are completely missing one anothers' points/ arguments: but that is a critique of but a few threads...not a statement of how you run the board, so we hope THAT element is just something you accept as part of human nature.

Speaking for ourselves; we came here in search of knowledge, and so far we are able to find answers enough to our questions by searching the board and following through links you provide. We hate to be the 3,458 th person to ask a question, so we always put some effort into finding our answer before we get *lazy* and ask for ourselves...as a result, we have learned more than we thought we wanted to know, and are better for it!

Note: we had to re-register in order to post this (not a problem). WE are completely happy (so far) with the operation here...but give us time and maybe we too can develop some attitude for someone to rip apart - and we can ALL have a good luagh at THAT!

Thanks for breaking the Ice for us with this thread!

Likes:
- The separation of bull and business. Whatever you do don't merge any of the forums. IMO places like GFY are completely worthless for anything but spamming.
- The actual usefulness of business related posts, lotsa good stuff here for someone wanting to learn.
- The username thingy, makes me feel loved.

Dislikes:
- I agree with those who have said this can sometimes be a harsh environment for newbies. On the other side of that coin is the amazing fact that so many people who in reality are in competition with each other get along so well and help each other out.

That really is a "better safe than sorry" policy, because if those threads were allowed out here, there'd be more of them & they'd be very full of spam.

I know I read that forum everyday & if I have something to contribute, I do - and from the other people that do post there from time to time, I think there are a lot of bigger board members reading that forum as well.

When Jim & I opened this board, one of the points we wanted to get across was that we'd never sugar coat anything, so we sometimes come across as know-it-all assholes

But we're trying to get better (especially me) Look at the thread that Simon form IA Cash posted about what to start up (TGP, Link List, etc) 2 weeks ago I'd have bashed him senseless But I think that I was helpful while I also got the point across that you do actually have to work to make decent money

what i like about this board:
-i like i still see the same persons here who i met at ans board when i started this bizz, the newbies i have met ...most are gone. so seeing the good old persons around gives me a bit a home ( oh yeah i probably talking bullshit again, but then me not english hehehe)
- the amound of new friends i made here
- the fact you realy can post what you think here, ofcourse if you start to flame people you should also post the reason why.
-the fact i talk bad english and still i am accepted on this board ( think of it, when i post on dutch boards i put also english words in it, so i am also bad with dutch writing)
- the laughs
- the help
- the seperate forums
what i dislike:
ahummm this..... and ahummm that........again this i realy dont know what i dont like oh yep, tell me more about the secret forum naa its a great place

No need to bash him senseless with words, after reading his post I got him right in the back of the head with my stapler.
