FSviolin Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Where'd the soapbox go? ....What happened to have the admin take it away? fs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth_Leigh Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Long form: The give and take got too pointed, people were offended, and the admins announced that the soapbox was approaching the point that it was detracting from the actual intention of this forum, that being related to music and instrments and so forth. At least that's what was announced. Short form: Things got out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kabal Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 The soapbox was shut down, so I started another board that is somewhat a replacement to the soapbox: Same cast of characters, etc. Ironically (or perhaps a "taste of your own medicine"), the very problem that shut down the soapbox almost shut down my new board; basically 1 or two people acted very badly, just like they did here. We have taken care of the problem and are back to having fun. Some folks simply didnt want to follow the looser rules, so instead of shutting down a forum ( and therefore shutting down all activity), we just banned them, and all is back to relative normal.

staylor Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Even your best friends? And, did something force (e.g. otherwise it might have been shut down by others) Maestronet to get rid of someone or something (i.e. soapbox)? Or was it the simply the personal preference of the maesronet administration (which would include its financial supporters)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, Shimon, you have totally lost me, or else you are smoking some wacky tobaccy, I have no clue as to what the @#$% you are talking about. My best friends are people that I have touched, and held, and been with when they need a shoulder to laugh or cry on. This is a frgging Forum, dag nabit. You seem to be going mental: I dont care why any board did anything, it is just a stupid online forum, not the Warren Commission. I offer advice here on recording stuff, and I like this forum. Case closed, move along now, amigo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staylor Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 I'm sorry for not being clear. I was speaking about two subjects in one post. Maybe I shouldn't, as it's too confusing. First line I was thinking of SR (though maybe I'm wrong). After that, I was thinking about Maestronet itself, not connected to you. That was addressed more to the owners of Maestronet.
