"They said Oprano would be different once the elders where gone. That no more busting anyones chops anymore,
whether it was a surfmaster or a webmaster."
I'm not gonna say who said it, if they want they can speak for them selfs. I'm just using it as an example. 
But I really don't see much of a change since the elders are gone. I mean ya sure the elders that stayed at Oprano stiil ragg, knock and screw with each others, Thats all great and funny  I truly get a kick out of messing on the elders that are left also.
But the way Scarie Crowie Guy and a few others that joined here have been treated? 
Well I guess every new member is going to have to go thru some sort of explanation, reason and ragging why they're here. But when they give a true and sincere reason why they joined. And its not to someones agreement here at Oprano. Then they get all sorts of hell till they are vanished or ran off?
This is truly some immature and poor ass behavior from a bunch of so called Oprano Professionals Board Members.
And I just want to take this moment to say, GREAT WORK GUYS.  Danggg I just love it at Oprano  |
Am I the one you spoke with on the phone bro? Because I know we have had a few conversations. And I was one of the ones yelling the loudest here about how we had to treat people with respect and help newbies out and blah blah blah. Yes sometimes the old guard just made me disgusted and I would vacate the board for extended periods of time. But I also have friends here that I
ONLY see here. Since I value their views on things and enjoy the banter I always came back.
But the scarecrow issue has me kind of torn. It makes me look like a hypocrite if I don't help the guy out but his behavior and demeanor in the first few days here bothered me so I have tried to stay out of it. While I am sure almost everyone here will answer intelligent questions from webmasters of all experience i just don't like this guy. I am sorry and know that is harsh but Oprano is still a proving ground of sorts and you just can't clip it's balls completely off.
That's just my opinion of course. And if I want a surfers opinion and insight I will just check out Snowman's forums... but it looks dead there. I wonder if I should start posting there as well...
