I found it funny that someone who had been here for 2.3 minutes was telling me how to behave on the board I helped build, and explaining to me how board business works ... And I realized how much time and energy I wasted on this place for other people's benefit! The last year I was here was only for the friendships, but my back has run out of places to be stabbed so I moved on. I'd rather keep the old oprano in my memories and not this new edited for tv, mcdonalds training ground, net surprise version |

Re: CJ , I am sorry!!!!
I was correct in telling you so, as management pulling in all different directions is not useful in any business, especially on a board.
You decided to throw your toys out of the pram, and you no doubt feel slighted for being informed of that .. fair enough .. I wish you well in your future endeavours CJ and I truly mean that. |

Please dont take this as a wise ass remark or anything like that. I'm sincere and only voicing a couple of comments as a longtime member of the community.... But what exactly IS the mission statement for new Oprano? CJ nailed it based on what I've seen so far....it's really the new NetSurprise. I'll elaborate on that. NetSurprise tried to force it's way into being an active community by having lots and lots of hired help generating lots of posts. But what you ultimately end up with there is the hired help being paid to talk to one another, and not many other folks stop in because of it. The community evolves into a community built around people who are paid to try to build a community. |

And you want to know one of the reasons why I accepted being the most recent mod here? Simply: because I was posting here anyway. If it was something where I was "brought in" to a place I didn't know, wasn't already active, I would have declined. The old "hired gun" routine doesn't fly with me and I agree it doesn't fly with online communities either. |

Re: CJ , I am sorry!!!!
Just an observation, it seems to me the smaller boards try to please EVRYONE and never do
and the larger boards try to please NO ONE and always do |

is my honest answear. I like the direction it is going in, and from my point of veiw as a poster I like it here ( even though not everyone here likes me or agrees with me alot nor should they that is what makes a board a good place and not a kiss ass bullshit place ) and I think some good business is attainable from here . But I think it is a WIP and that time will tell according to the moves that are made, or not made in order to allow the board to determine its course. you know this of course, as you are a saavy veteran and know how boards have came and went , evolved, and disentigrated or imploded, as you have seen all the above. and of course nick being a veteran in the board game knows this too. so I will jsut keep posting and watching as long as it is business samrt for me to do so, or entertaining for me to do so.... |

Re: CJ , I am sorry!!!!
The members of Oprano will decide it’s fate and it’s direction, as they do on every board.
As for Oprano forcing it’s way into being active by having lots of “hired help”. I’d beg to differ, there is no “hired help” - Oprano DOESN’T pay anyone including the mods.

Re: CJ , I am sorry!!!!
I think focussing on the word "hired" in a financial sense display's a certain naivety - unless of course it is meant to deflect from the real issues, when it would display a certain strategy
There are many methods apart from money which can be defined as forms of "payment". Your first sentence is 100% correct, but the point being made is that there is a quantum difference between the will and whim of "members" and that of "moderators". Shit, on of the moderators in an earlier post in this thread referred (well at least inferred) that moderators here are part of management. If the needs and wants of management versus "workers" were that synergistic, where did unionism come from? A bit off topic yes, but a valid analogy to make a point. My 2c.

Re: CJ , I am sorry!!!!
If the moderator referring/inferring that moderators are management is Newton then I must clarify that as Oprano C.E.O he is in fact management and correct in his statement. The rest of the moderators are not management and we all know this.
Something that is being missed is the fact that the moderating team were active posters before they became moderators. No one has been shipped in to help with the running of the board in anyway. Quote:
If I’m missing something, I’d appreciate it if you would point me in the right direction.

cj, very true. Our political differences with MikeAI were always on the public display, but what wasn't- our heated debates over ICQ about the direction of Oprano. I can recall at least 2 ocassions when we were looking to buy each other out! but.... we made thru all of it and so did Oprano.

I asked you for a favour , to bear with me for old times sake , and if it jizbiz turned out to be a looney or didn't work out, I'd publicly execute him. Why? Because he asked me to give him one more chance. I was willing to , others were willing too,I deleted a couple of threads where basically I ripped into him. Instead you spat the dummy and freaked out...like you did a year ago , the year before that..oh and the year before that ...and flounced off. I still publicly executed jizbiz, when ,as most of us suspected , he turned out to be a looney. HP, 80% of the mods at least on Oprano are / were some of the busiest posters on this board.Its a way of recognising that. But I am sure Red and Morgan (who was one of the busiest posters on the old netpond before she left the business) really enjoy being referred to as hired guns |

Newton is in the position I was in when I ran Netpond.
It is thankless job. Decisions have to be made, and adhered too. Coming off as an asshole happens quite frequently. |
