Unsubscribing, putting on the ignore list and never joining your forum. Have a nice life and fun with Linux and your forum. |
EEER, I made 2 new pet files for pianobar from Debian Sid packages today (I have also posted fixes for pianobar for Puppy linux concerning faad in different versions of Puppy) and uploaded my pets to Murgas forum.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/vie...62581&start=15 Below link page 2 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=62975 I have no war against Murga or puppyite forum. But copy and paste is not going to cut it when it comes to uploading things like .sfs and .pet stuff. Seems like a link to said files on Murgas forum makes just common sense. But I guess when it comes to hate. Common sense goes out the Window. I am not a developer or even a script kiddie. Just a country boy biker that shares. It makes no sense to me either the no link stuff. Sounds like double the work. But Quote:

What separates Puppy Linux Forum from that other “community” is that my forum has rules that can be read and understood by all.
Those poor people over there have been begging murga to post rules for years and they still have none, nor will they ever. Quote:

I’ve spent every waking hour since I started this thread trying to address things that seem wrong to me. If all I thought I could do was mimic murga I wouldn’t waste my time, there would be no Puppy Linux Forum. |

-here is an option -you have a say -you can expect a theme of rules and order vs anything goes -let's get the show on the road and talk about it some of you may not have experience with rules and order but my experience is it separates the men from the boys it is very common with folks who are serious about what they do working with rules and order doesn't concern me in the least but no doubt will not appeal to all given a choice, i prefer order with a focus over disorder, this forum has rules and order which is the first thing that was brought to my attention when i came in and shot my mouth off without reading the rules this forum also has formidable numbers that shows results |
@ Anisha Kaul
Yea I get it, you and others graced me with the benefit of your sage advice which was (euphemistically) characterized as constructive criticism wherein I was told how unworkable my ideas were, how impractical such things as copy and paste are and how it “significantly” reduces the worth of my forum. No wonder you’re all so upset about having “wasted” your time on me. Why don’t you be honest, you don’t like what I stand for. I’m different, I buck the system, I don’t accept the status quo, I do things differently and you don’t like it, that’s what’s really eating you. Since you think I’m so unprofessional for not permitting people to mention murga’s forum on my forum here’s an example of a similar rule I found on the net: Quote:
About personalities and rules? People don’t visit murga’s forum because they like him, if that were the case he’d have no members, ditto for his nonexistent rules. I’m trying to offer a clear alternative but that’s not good enough in some peoples minds. Or they’d like to pretend it’s not. |

FWIW here is my thinking on how to achieve the goal: The reason I created a forum to discuss the Future of Puppy Linux is a developer pointed out a need for as he called it “A single voice to speak for Puppy” a.k.a. PLUG. This idea arose from an earlier call by me (before murga’s temp a.k.a. perm ban) for a “Seat At The Table” for average users wherein they could have an equal voice about not only the direction Puppy Linux might take but also what form it might take. This idea was summarily rejected and I was set upon by forum regulars who saw me as an antichrist. But I still see a need for this and to achieve that goal I set aside a part of my forum titled “Polls Forum”. My thought was that people would create polls to let other members vote on and thus demonstrate the popularity of their ideas. I hoped developers would come to my forum, read the results of those polls and maybe act on what they saw. I purposefully omitted creating an area for open discussion about this topic for fear that it would devolve into the cacophony of discordant voices visible in the “Suggestions” part of murga’s forum. The very same Suggestions method that was decried by the developer who stated that a single voice to represent users was needed because developers don’t have time to “winnow the wheat from the chaff” concerning users needs. So you tell me, is it better to limit freedom of expression to just polls in order to achieve the goal or would a “free for all” open discussion area about the Future of Puppy Linux be better? |

so now there is something to look at and work with the intent and topic of this thread was "suggestions requested" which ran its course now, the forums are up and the nitty gritty of "the future of puppy linux" will be hashed out somewhere else, where it belongs, by anyone interested i doubt that anyone knows how this all might play out until folks just get involved and start talking about it i don't see any point in getting bent outa shape at this point, waaay too early in the game and stuff will likely only be sorted in the forums by those interested yes, your forum and your rules, but members ultimately decide one way or another.. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post4401526 here's how folks deal with biz at LQ Quote:
then go from there |

the whole saga of what unfolded when he led the 4x fiasco and embarrassment also speaks volumes as far as not linking to the murga site from a new forum, given what's on the net about that forum and has been for years, that alone is reason enuff or a rational why not to go there for me not to mention my own personal experiences there edit - here's the link http://www.computerbob.com/wp/helpin...ors-part-8.php this issue came up there recently by many, but was completely purged from the forums, a forum that was led until recently by words (that can still be linked to) to the effect that "any deletion of posts by a mod is held to account" ..ya, sure, tell us about it the purging might as well have been a lame attempt at re-writing history and known facts that are still out there, that some were trying to address and coming up with a lame story or version of events, for the naive or gullible, while the known facts are still out there starting them in the face |
Why links to murga's forum forbidden on www.puppylinuxforum.org
Thus far I have not yet fully explained why I have this rule in my Main Mission Statement and Rules:

And I have every intention of replacing that forum. |
