Welcome back TS...I managed to avoid a ban or new infractions while you were gone. Hell, I think I even managed to win over the spirits of a few mods...sorry that the shit storm had to go down while you were gone. Totally not cool...not cool at all. I hope the City of Lights treated you swell.
Thanks polky and swnic. Well shit happens thats for sure. Just gotta make sure that when you clean it up it doesn't leave a stain.
Welcome htc.EVOlution
I got soo many things wrong, it is not even funny.
I can only do my best, and I guarantee that I will be wrong in the future.
rest of quote edited out for space reasons..
But I will promise you that I will give my best faith effort.
Thats what I like. Those that admit when they were incorrect about something and are not afraid to say it. You my dear are classy. Props.
Same props go out to eieio.
And that reminds me. I too, am wrong about a few things I have done throughout this keeping the EVO threads in order experiment. It's for rumors and speculation. We shouldn't have to rely on just one persons write ups as the sole authority of incoming tidbits of information. Doing so will be problematic. Everyones speculation and tidbits of rumor are welcome and highly appreciative. There is no need to hold back (unless restricted from doing so due to your job).
Still, of course giving out that information should be..
1-devoid of any flames, smug remarks, or praises to one self. This alone comes off as a troll, smug like, arrogant and will be the catalyst to start unnecessary arguments.
2-not to create email lists that keep certain tidbits of information away from ALL members and only giving it to a certain selected few. Doing so will cause resentment and is not really the
community way of doing things.
Although historically we the staff do not need to make our intentions known on every issue that comes across our desks, but I feel this one needs to be addressed.
We here at AF do not restrict members from visiting other sites, even competitive ones. On the contrary, the forum is set up much like its daddy Phandroid, where other sites and links to them are mention. All for the good of the Android community. Although we would prefer to have the information also writing up here, but thats not always the case. At times, it is necessary to put in the link to an offsite.
But what we do object too, is the posting of any site solely to make the members jump ship. When told not to do so, the member refused and even requested to be banned. Therefore this is the reason why you all no longer see Supersonical in these forums. He has made it seem that Billsmed sole purpose was to steal members away, and that is not the case. Far from it. Bill wanted to create a accessories site and thats it. With the constant bickering between jackson and members, he felt no longer wanting to be part of these forums. Bill at the same time was dabbling in creating a forum to see how it felt like. One thing led to another, and jackson telling everyone the link to that forum to go there and here we are at this present junction.
Eventually billsmed will probably come back after this embarrassment (in his words) wears off. jackson certainly will not. If bill doesn't, then I wish him well. Hopefully he will reconsider. But in the meantime I will have to take over in keeping the FAQ thread as up to date as possible. I'll probably will be looking for another member(s) as a guide for the time being, since basically one isn't enough for a section this big. So if you have any suggestions on topics, FAQs, guides, or step by steps, feel free to contact any of the staff. I already have receive a few tips and once the (recommended) sub-forums are set up, they will go in those sections and keep this section clean and tidy.
TS out (back to reading pages 226-248)
And the EVO tax... I called and made it to retention and they simply asked if I would renew my contract for 2 years and if I did I would get a $10 service credit .... that point is now moot.
