So this week's theme is..........

[Knowledged_one]

After the night of 1000 polls, who decreed this the week of horrible Sheepy threads?

[Judge Smails]

Alan Thicke

[Tallman388]

He's trying to undermine the listening thread by starting as many show topic threads as possible. It's his first time home without a sitter.

[Knowledged_one]

Alan Thicke

Now that was funny

[mikeyboy]

After the night of 1000 polls, who decreed this the week of horrible Sheepy threads?

They are all topics being discussed on the show, so they are relevant.

[Knowledged_one]

didnt say they werent relevant, just bad threads

[Hottub]

Who says they are bad? Listen to the show. They are relevent. If the topics are bad, I guess the show is bad?:furious:

[reillyluck]

Sheepy Rules.

[mikeyboy]

didnt say they werent relevant, just bad threads

So stay out of them

[MadMatt]

didnt say they werent relevant, just bad threads

Of course if it were somebody other than Sheepy (or another "board favorite"), they would probably be reprimanded by one of the mods.

Not sour grapes - Just an observation...

[jauble]

I just figured Paltalk was down.

[TheMojoPin]

Of course if it were somebody other than Sheepy (or another "board favorite"), they would probably be reprimanded by one of the mods.

Not sour grapes - Just an observation...

Except we (the staff) all discussed it and decided it was better to have more threads pertaining to specific topics brought up on the show to encourage discussion from people who avoid the show threads. Sheepy just happens to be the one starting them right now. Anyone can and should start them.

[reillyluck]

Of course if it were somebody other than Sheepy (or another "board favorite"), they would probably be reprimanded by one of the mods.

Not sour grapes - Just an observation...

you couldnt be more wrong. whats the problem with "actual show topics" being posted on "Ronfez.net"?

Crazy Talk.
:smoke:

was his name-o

[IMSlacker]

I'm enjoying them. What happened yesterday though?

[Knowledged_one]

how about less threads and better spelling

[reillyluck]

how about less threads and better spelling

his sexiness makes up for it. :wink:

[Furtherman]

I'm still trying to figure out the Shark Birth thread.

[underdog]

They are all topics being discussed on the show, so they are relevant.

Yeah. I thought Monday's threads were weird until I actually listened to the show.

For once, we're actually talking about the show on this board. It's surprising.

[mikeyboy]

Of course if it were somebody other than Sheepy (or another "board favorite"), they would probably be reprimanded by one of the mods.

Not sour grapes - Just an observation...

Well, no. we have been encouraging people to bring up topics discussed on the show, because that is the primary focus of this board. Would I tell Sheepy, as I would anyone else, that they might need to be more selective if they are starting too many show related threads. Yes. It's really trying to find a medium. If a thread gets on-topic activity, then it's a success. There may be too many of these types of threads right now, but frankly I'm observing to see how successful these threads are, so we'll have a better idea as to what is the appropriate amount.

The staff does try pretty hard to not play favorites. We're certainly not perfect, but we try to be fair.

[A.J.]

Good for Sheepy for making the effort.

Though I would caution him and others to check before starting new threads lest we have dupes. For example, I know we've had the "80s Bad Guy" thread before in some variation.

[mikeyboy]

You assholes need to stop using the tags for anonymous personal attacks. I just got rid of most of them in this thread.

[IMSlacker]

You might want to clean up some tags in the HTG thread as well.

[TheMojoPin]

Wait, then what's the point of tags?

It's like the "newest users to sign up" feature all over again.

Those who do not learn from their past mistakes are doomed to repeat them over and over again.

[Knowledged_one]

Wait, then what's the point of tags?

It's like the "newest users to sign up" feature all over again.

Those who do not learn from their past mistakes are doomed to repeat them over and over again.

because personal attacks on Mad Matt and i were done, and because its anonymous and those people dont have the courage to say it can now say these things without any reprecusions anonymously

[mikeyboy]

I think we're going to have to change the functionality of tags because some of our members are children.

[Friday]

tags can be fun for those who are mildly respectful of others.

that being said, I enjoy the sheepy threads. it's nice to have new topics to discuss around here.

[Friday]

Please don't.

:glurps:

[Sheeplovr]

I'm enjoying them. What happened yesterday though?

i was out all day sorry

[King Hippos Bandaid]

they are creative, I like em

more threads equals more discussion

[Hottub]

i was out all day sorry

Don't let it happen again.:laugh:

[Dougie Brootal]

well thats it for the tags. they will no longer be fun.:thumbdown: just so you know, all of my werent attacks, just ribbing and it was obvious.

[underdog]

I think we're going to have to change the functionality of tags because some of our members are children.

Some?

[PanterA]

I cant believe that people would hate the fact of having more Ron and Fez topics available on a Ron and Fez message board.

This is a message board for a radio show. We talk about it here in more then 1 thread. If you cant handle it, then take a hike.

SEEYUH!
(slams door)

[Tallman388]

I just laughed out loud looking at the tags that are still there.

[PanterA]

Of course if it were somebody other than Sheepy (or another "board favorite"), they would probably be reprimanded by one of the mods.

Not sour grapes - Just an observation...I would LOVE for you to start relivant dicussions on the show daily. You dont even need to have anything to say about the subject. For instence today Ron and Fez did the deja vu comedy pyramid. Even if you dont have a joke to start it off, I would welcome anyone starting a Deja Vu comedy pyramid thread. As long as there isnt one started already OTHER then the listening thread.

[Knowledged_one]

Like i have said before your impression of the board is that it should be Ron and Fez 24/7 all the time, well the board has changed over time and has become more of a social board and we get it you dont like it, but guess what 2002 isnt coming back so get over it and realize that not everyone is going to have your point of view that all we should do is talk about R&F all day

[PanterA]

He's trying to undermine the listening thread by starting as many show topic threads as possible. It's his first time home without a sitter.No, what he's doing is giving people that dont have access to a computer during the hours of the show to come home and have a place to dicuss the show on a regular basis.

I personaly instructed the MODs to start doing this in hopes that you as the member would take over the starting of the threads. Its all a way to make this fan site more enjoyable to fans of The Ron and Fez show at any hour of the day.

[PanterA]

We just installed new software to make the site even MORE social. I just dont want us to vear away from being a fan site as well.

[PanterA]

Also, if you come here to shoot the shit with the other members of the site then you are welcomed to do that. We have , what about 20 forums and a chat room to do so. Why do you get so upset that we want 1 forum to be about Ron and Fez 24/7?

[Knowledged_one]

Well how about that the worthless threads were started in every forum not just the thread intended for Ron and Fez 24/7

[underdog]

No, what he's doing is giving people that dont have access to a computer during the hours of the show to come home and have a place to dicuss the show on a regular basis.

I don't get to listen to the entire show live, so I enjoy seeing threads started about topics on the show. Just jumping into the listening thread at 7pm and posting something random.

Although, some guy who doesn't post here anymore made a Out Of Context Listening Thread Comments (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=66894) thread, but it worked as well as PM-a-phone.

[PanterA]

K_O: explain your point.

[TheMojoPin]

Well how about that the worthless threads were started in every forum not just the thread intended for Ron and Fez 24/7

Because they pertained to the theme of those threads. The stuff specific to the show is in the R&F forum. The stuff they brought up in general on the show goes in the appropriate forums to get people talkin'.

[reillyluck]

I like the threads. I like Knowledged one.

can we all just hug now?

[Dougie Brootal]

i dont care if sheepy posts 1000 mispelled threads, i just wanna use tags!

[mikeyboy]

Well how about that the worthless threads were started in every forum not just the thread intended for Ron and Fez 24/7

Again. If you don't like the threads stay out of them. Enough people do that they aren't going anywhere.

[Knowledged_one]

1st: Pantera your point that if people dont like it then they should leave is the worst thing that can be said especially by a mod.
2nd: I agree with MadMatt that had this been anybody but Sheepy, who is watched over by the mods as a little brother, would have been warned for spamming the board with topics. And i know for a fact that this has happened in the past.
3rd: Calling them worthless topics is just my opinion and some were ok like the sports nicknames thats cool, but the 80's bad guy movie thread already exsisted, Happy Birthday Isreal does anyone really think that is going to spawn conversation, Shark Birth for or against another horrible thread, greatest popcorn movie and on and on and on. Seriously yeah they were brought up on the show but they are horrible threads. That would be like me starting a thread saying man they sure do say budday a lot on the show. And man Earl is slow to do things

Sorry its just my opinion but i felt it had to be said

[mikeyboy]

First point. I kind of agree, but we have decided to do things a certain way, and it is our right to do so.

Second point. bullshit -- we've made it clear that this something the staff decided to do, so the fact that it was sheepy starting the threads is irrelevant.

Third point. Yeah we get it. Repeating your opinion over and over doesn't make it any more valid.

[PanterA]

1st: Pantera your point that if people dont like it then they should leave is the worst thing that can be said especially by a mod.I agree that its harsh, but who wants someone thats going to gripe about something so infantile around? I seriously have nothing against you, but this is just silly. I'm shocked.

2nd: I agree with MadMatt that had this been anybody but Sheepy, who is watched over by the mods as a little brother, would have been warned for spamming the board with topics. And i know for a fact that this has happened in the past.I explained that I suggested this yesterday, just look a few posts up. This is new policy being worked out. We cant dwell on the past and only look forward.

3rd: Calling them worthless topics is just my opinion and some were ok like the sports nicknames thats cool, but the 80's bad guy movie thread already exsisted,Any topic on the show can have its own thread in the General Discussion forum. Its up to the MODs to either allow it or direct the traffic to the older thread.

Happy Birthday Isreal does anyone really think that is going to spawn conversation, Shark Birth for or against another horrible thread, greatest popcorn movie and on and on and on. Seriously yeah they were brought up on the show but they are horrible threads.So dont fucking post in them. Let them die. Are you paying the bandwidth to the site??

[PanterA]

I want Knowledged_one to know that the "take a hike" comment wasnt initially intended towards you. It was a general statement. I'm sorry if it offended you. I know you are a long standing member to the site and I appreciate your opinion on this subject. Again my intial reaction was shocked, and may have been wrong.

[Knowledged_one]

No offense taken i knew it was a comment in general and not directed at me

It will take a lot more then people not liking my opinion to get me away from here, as long as Kevin and KHB are still here i am way down on the banning list :thumbup:

And like i said it was my opinion and just felt like voicing it

[reillyluck]

now can we hug? sheesh!

[Tallman388]

I was actually saying that in jest. I was being a silly goose, if you will.
I like the idea of having threads to discuss certain show topics. The problem was probably that none of us civilians knew of this change, and some people hate change.

Now, look at that tag, hilarious again!

[Knowledged_one]

now can we hug? sheesh!

is it a group hug?

[reillyluck]

is it a group hug?

And man Earl is slow to do things

Sorry its just my opinion but i felt it had to be said

yeah...i actually agree with this...its one thing to start threads...but to start 20 different threads about every singles thing brought up on the show is a little much...just decide whats interesting thats all

edit: but hey i cant talk...i started 2 threads today

1. a useless thread cause i actually believed something opie teased

2. the other about trees smelling like cum

[MadMatt]

Second point. bullshit -- we've made it clear that this something the staff decided to do, so the fact that it was sheepy starting the threads is irrelevant.

OK - right here is where things are getting hung up IMO.

Chastising people for "spamming" by starting a lot of new threads HAS happened in the past. There is no way you can say it hasn't. And the fact that this is apparently tied to a "new policy" of trying to allow more new threads (paraphrasing) adds to the misconception.

Can you possibly see how average posters who don't have knowledge of the "new ideas" would see the "events of today" as favoritism? That's fine that you are saying it isn't, but to attack/chastise K_O and Me because we mention that it looks like favoritism is wrong on your parts (meaning everybody who "yelled" at us).

You would have been better served by saying "hey, we wanted to try out this new idea/policy. What Sheepy is doing is cool for now until we see how things go." Instead you looked like you were being elitist (again, IMO).

[underdog]

Who are these "average" posters you're talking about?

You seem to whine a lot.

Also, Sheepy is posting a lot of new threads based on what is being discussed on the show. Not just random shit.

Kindly go F yourself. I'm trying to explain my point of view and how the misunderstanding occured.

Others were reprimanded or banned in the past for doing the same thing Sheepy did today. Without knowing there was a "policy change" it looked a helluva lot like favoritism.

Now we know differently. I am cool with that, but still think the "powers that be" could have explained why this case was different instead of jumping on us like a-holes.

[underdog]

Hasn't Sheepy been doing this for 3 days now?

[Hottub]

Nope. Monday and today.

[underdog]

Nope. Monday and today.

Oh yeah. I forgot he didn't do it yesterday.

[PanterA]

Just calm down people we arent taking anything away. Listening threads are still very welcomed and are not going anywhere.

[Judge Smails]

Not for nothing, but where did my "Wat was your favrite comershial" thread go? Is ball-busting now not acceptable on the board? 'Cause, if so, I've got some complaints I'd like to lodge against some people.

[Knowledged_one]

Tell it to Alan Thicke buddy, now you know im just kidding right

[PanterA]

Not for nothing, but where did my "Wat was your favrite comershial" thread go? Is ball-busting now not acceptable on the board? 'Cause, if so, I've got some complaints I'd like to lodge against some people.That wasnt a show related thread and was intended to insult a member of the board. I ruled it irrelevent and moved it to the purgatory.

[underdog]

I bet purgatory is the greatest place.

[TheMojoPin]

Others were reprimanded or banned in the past for doing the same thing Sheepy did today. Without knowing there was a "policy change" it looked a helluva lot like favoritism.

With very few exceptions, people who have been banned for "spamming" along those lines were posting a torrent of threads typically about themselves, other posters here (almost always trying to pick a fight) or about the exact same damn topic over and over and over and over again.

Now we know differently. I am cool with that, but still think the "powers that be" could have explained why this case was different instead of jumping on us like a-holes.

If you look back, it was explained very clearly near the start of this thread.

[Bossanova]

Who gives a shit?

EDIT: That post won't do anybody any good - although it sure would have made ME feel better.
