Discussion in 'Directories' started by DownUnder, Jan 18, 2008.

    We all know it's been a tough time, and in the hope that things get better, you hang in there ( in reference to this forum not directories in general ).

    In that there have been several good posts of late, some people asking genuine questions and getting good help.

    However there still seems to be the never ending emergance of crap, we have spammers, the directory police, the stirrers, those that hang 2 letters on everything and every other negative person who is not related to the subject at hand dropping in giving us their 2 cents worth of rubbish.

    For all of those people i have put on video a short message

    I will decide over the weekend in truth if i like many others will bother staying around.

    cool video, thanks for recommending it, I haven't heard Arch Enemy before

    a touch mellow for me, but ok

    She reminds me alot of OTEP, but Otep screams even better, check her out!

    Pipes when people are young they are full ambition and want to work their way to the office at the top of the building where they can imprtant and hang a big badge on the door.

    When you get older you realise all of the fuss and rubbish that goes with it is not worth it, just give me an office down the bottom in the corner where i can quietly continue my work. :)

    part of you feels like walking away, and part of me feels like starting a new discussion board, where advice of established members is valued and appreciated.

    ? Not so sure about all of the important stuff Dan, There are many people here who are far more qualified and suitable.

    I am really at the age where i am comfortable and been through years of being up the front, I have gone over and joined your forums but probably will, like here be happy down in that little office in the basement listening to my radio and quietly building my directory.

    That would be about right, the last few days helped in that, and in a way everything has positive, I suppose i owe an appology to all but from old days never once did any of my team take the rap, i always took full responsibility regardless and in that always stood by those in the team. and done nothing less than i would have for any one here.

    Where i appreciate you Pipes is often we will see things different but in that show respect for each others views and in that ability to look at every item an case by case scenrio, resulting in good for all

    To the directory my decision moving forward, yes i have decided to take the bottom office but will pop upstairs all be it every now and then.

    I still plan to shortly deliver on everything i have chated about in regards promotion methods and results ( if i ever launch but looking good for near end of month )

    In that i can honestly say i am very comfortable with my plans moving forward, as in how the directory will look, where and when i will promote, the steps needed and prety well every aspect of the directory, nothing i have done has been realy main stream and people can expect no differnt moving forward as getting out of the square for me is not a problem.

    also as mentioned i have no probems sharing ( should it work and people wish to know )

    cheers. & chat soon
