Board change blues

[primsong]

I'm sorry, but as I'm not allowed to badmouth Decipher on the boards (I 'represent' them - pbbbbt!) - I'm going to mutter just a little bit here to get it over with.

There are times I really wonder if they have two working neurons that communicate with one another anywhere in that company - how divisive, to slap a big, grey, ugly "MEMBER" under people's names, and then to have the audacity to charge ten bucks for an avatar! Are they insane? Pretty steep for a little picture that most places let you have free. They never even mentioned any of this to the mods, then drop us one message letting us know we'll have to be policing avatars now also, except there's no way for us to kill a bad avatar - we have to holler and hope someone at Decipher will take care of it... if it's not a weekend. Sheesh!

I'm not renewing my magazine... kind of sad that they'll have mods who aren't even 'members' pretty soon.

If I can get techie-hubby Treblemaker to carve out the time to help set it up, I've given up on Decipher ever looking at the threaded option and am pursuing it myself. We may have to pass the hat for a server upgrade, but I think we could really, really use a "non-Decipherized" Pony right now... Here's hoping...

If anyone has any good ideas, besides dumping the entire community, let me know.

I think you are an extremely patient and loyal person, Prim. You've put up with a lot of foolishness from we "creative people" more than once! And I know its been hard to work with Decipher's new format, especially since their consideration for the users is, well, limited. They aren't rude, but they don't go out of their way to be helpful, either. And you know what? You are completely entitled to rant whenever and about whatever you want! You don't exercise that option often, so when you do, never feel guilty.
