Forum Access Changes

I'm not even asking, technically, for representation.

Just a little [strike]expletive[/strike] transparency once in a while.

Forgive me Jestor, I did not see this earlier....was getting ready for my morning walk.

Let me say, I talk funny, ever noticed?

No. I have not noticed how you talk funny. I have however noticed how you don't filter/meditate over your words and how it will effect others before posting. Please take that as friendly crtisim and nothing more. We all have areas to work on and improve...

My wife/kids/bosses/etc "bitches" at me... Is it always "bitching"? No... Mostly when I am resistant to hear it, or it feels like an onslaught where I cannot even take a breath, or in this case, keep up with the posting...

Is she usually right? Yes, just ask her, lol, but that doesnt stop me from referring to that in that manner...

Mmm :dry:

Again, my apologies, your concerns are valid...[/color]

Anyways....Thank you again. Matter closed.

That is not unreasonable. And we have been working towards that. First we started by bringing topics down to the knight’s forum to discuss.

Who knows how far or where it will go one day.

First I would just like to say thank you. I think this has been a great thread. I am glad that people step up and voice concerns and came up with suggestions to correct things instead of just “complaining” with no corrective recommendations.
Thank you to the members and guests who keep the forums alive and breathing, the Temple does not grow without these fresh discussions.

Thank you to the Council and behind the scenes people who try to create the environment and make this Temple what it is. It is never easy to implement changes that everyone can be happy with.

Remember that passive resistance is a tool that can be used to show your disapproval. If a private general discussion area is not used, then the voice of the people will be heard.

My recommendation is that if you want everyone to comment on a topic, resist placing it in an area where the guests are unable to respond.

Things do change. Please remember that people are genuinely trying to make this a better, growing place and are not purposely out “to get” anyone, not being vindictive. Recommendations from everyone are needed to help us all to grow and change in a positive direction.

I do filter...

Not everyone is going to like me, or what I say...

The vast majority has no problem with my mannerisms...

I dont have the answer for you... :huh:

But I will take your suggestion under consideration...

Or "not heard", as the case may be. Silence on the Internet isn't resistance. It's just silence.

That's a good idea and something Edan and I discussed. By posting only in areas open to all then guests aren't excluded from conversations.

Whas up slick...

Before the Temple was this grand deal you see before you, it was slow, and changes affected a minor few...

So, when we made changes, few cared or raised a ruckus...

By having more knights available, we are trying to shift some of the power from council, and a select few, to them, with council running the day to day, and implementation of the Knights and their decisions...

Council are knights as well, but our voices are no louder, or shouldnt be, lol... Maybe mine, but I am a loud mouth, lol...

So, unintentionally, we may open a can of worms from time to time, as things change...

Akkarin announced the newest update in these changes a couple pages back. It hasn't received much attention interestingly.

I'm just taking a guess...but the reason why its not receiving attention is because the "Flow" is here. Im sure all of us has already read it though. Thank you *bows*
