Goodbye old friend....

Egads.

Unless you grew up on CONDOM and NetPond you remain clueless of its intrinsic value and contribution.

The times antiquated the flat board.....

I said it then, and I will say it now, running the 2 NetPond boards was a mistake, it fractured the community.

The flatboard remained the bread and the butter and the threaded was intended to supplement sponsor exposure so I was told. Running the patriarch board free and the threaded board paid was the error.

They should have closed down the flat and gone threaded at the time GFY was taking off, and not gone paid...and they would probably still be a force to contend with....at least in the Top 3 boards.

No season veteran would move to a busy body noisy stupid threaded message board littered with lameness threads chasing a trip to England....thats when the earth shifted.

Yup, I made quite a beef on the flatboard about this much to the annoyance of Aga and Meat....trying to bring to the attention the fracture of the community of the posting gorilla's that added such flavor and lurrker interest. But they built a different, milder community that are quite happy over. NetPond has a name but lost its founding game, thats all.

I do not agree with incentified boards, never have and never will and Oprano is one of my fav boards because it is REAL....and not doing incentives has spared Oprano alot of volume noisy threads which turn me off.

Busy does not mean better....I am noticing Brad is running out of threads to start....which I hope over time does not make that board appear, "forced" to keep momentum.

The times have changed the roles of resource sites, newbie help places etc. 300+ boards are probably in commerce and our industry is scattered amonst them all.

If every resource site went down, we would be none the worst. The message boards could carry the learning need.

Anyhoo we have way to much free porn due to TGP webmasters, so we really need to teach alot less.....we are at the point where if the noobs cannot figure out this business, stay out of it :-)))
