    Did I miss something?

    Did I miss something?  Why's everyone leaving (Chuffy, Gina (rebeagles even removed her sig), Gina?  Was there a huge blowout that I missed?  Or is just everyone getting ready for the new school year with tons to do?
     
    Sorry, just being nosy [8|]

    I don't  remember anything major happening and neither Chuffy or Gina seemed upset about anything. [:)] Could be just "busy getting ready for school" stuff.

    No, you didn#%92t miss a huge blowout…lol!!  
    I think just general forum frustrations that have been building over the past few months, some questions regarding the new terms of service for idog combined with busy schedules for a lot of folks are the main reason we have a few people who are taking some time away.

    What are the forum frustrations?

    I know mine have been, but I am not sure they're the same for everyone else.

    I wasn#%92t intending to mean any ONE thing Rebecca.  They ARE indeed different for everyone.  I simply mean that there has been a lot of frustrations voiced, concerns voiced and a ton of negativity on the board for several months now, that IMO, is a contributing factor perhaps for some folks. 
     
    I apologize if my meaning wasn#%92t clear. I wasn#%92t intending it to mean any specific frustration. I hope that is more clear now.

    Oh, heh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off crappy sounding.

    I, too, have contemplated leaving this place.

    But I keep my mouth shut about making separate complaints. I just get involved in some nasty threads sometimes. Mainly ones concerning a lot of breedism that has been going on around here.

    Thanks for the clarification...I thought maybe something major had just happened and I somehow missed it.  I usually don't say anything in the more "intense" threads but I usually know what's going on (who's upset, etc.).
     
    Like I said, I was just being nosy [:D]

    [sm=biggrin.gif]LOL.. NO..there wasn't any threads in the past few days that lead to needing boxing gloves, getting out the red sharpies or the need for members to use any of the follwoing FUN icons:[sm=jerry.gif][sm=giantpopcorn.gif][sm=popcorn1.gif][sm=director.gif][sm=censored.gif][sm=evilfire.gif][sm=devil.gif][sm=flamethrower.gif][sm=beatdeadhorse.gif]

    LOL, nice icon usage Shelly!
    • Gold Top Dog
    hahahaha. I thought there were a couple threads in general that were going to head in that direction.

    But fortunately, they didn't.

    THANKS!  I have totally wanted to use a bunch of the really fun ones, but I have only used 1 of those icons before.. so I thought I would take advantage of the opportunity and have a little fun with them!  I love our icons, but I seem to get in the rutt of using the same ones all the time.[&o]
    Now... [sm=backtotopic.gif]

    Though I didn't specifically join Ed's pledge, I don't care for heated arguing, either. There were a few times I posted something and someone would post something kind of snooty back and rather than answer that attitude, I just let it go.

    With omniscience comes tranquility.[:D]

    I just wanted to mention that due to a lull [sm=bored1.gif] in forum activity, I'm actually getting filing done that's been piling up for months.  I'm not happy about it either [:'(]
