Why on earth does it require you to be logged out just to actually see it??
You gotta toggle that in your settings. If you're using the English version of the site, just hit up user CP > Edit Options and check the boxes for show Signatures, show Avatars, and show Images.
Got into this debate on a chat thread earlier, so I figured I'd start a new thread here to see what you guys think. The argument was basically that you can't make a real pizza without a wood-fired oven. Personally, I think that's total nonsense, but hey, I'm no expert.
So, what makes a pizza good in your book? Are you even into pizza at all?
Topic of the day moved after post 50 from topic of the day.
Here’s the chronological breakdown of everything that’s gone down. I'm just trying to figure out where the disconnect is and find a decent compromise for everyone involved:
Jeremy Johnson18 said:You don't actually want changes for the United States; you just want a different moderator because you can't stand the person in real life. That's not even a real argument—if it is, it's a pretty pathetic one. What difference does it make if Latica is blonde or brunette if she isn't allowed to moderate the chat you guys are typing in anyway? Or am I missing something huge here?
Jeremy Johnson18 said:I'm attempting to have a (somewhat) constructive conversation with the protesters. Obviously, some people are going to take that as a provocation, but that's not my intention, and I hope it's not yours either.
The fact is, both sides are getting screwed over by this. It feels stupid to play dumb and ignore the elephant in the room instead of trying to find common ground.
Wikiceh said:I don't get that part about Latica.🤷 Look, she's not a bad mod, but given how messy the moderation situation has been in the United States lately, does that even matter? I get that people have their grudges (everyone has their lists), but still... And honestly, I've got a feeling we'll hear the full story one day. 🤣
Jeremy Johnson18 said:+1
I've also been on the United States site for years and I have no clue what's happening. Nobody wants to give a straight answer; they just want to protest. The little bit they *did* say doesn't line up at all with the facts I see in the moderator section and on the forum in general. 🤷
mistyhound94 said:From what I can see, everyone’s having a blast on the US lately. The long-timers who stuck around seem totally obsessed with all the new faces—it’s pretty obvious the old crowd was just in the way. Look, I don't do compromises. As long as Latica is running the show as a mod, I have zero interest in heading back there. And let’s be real: nobody even bothered to offer a middle ground. 🙂
Jeremy Johnson18 said:Look, the bottom line is this: you want back in, and we want you back. That goes for everyone else on the boards, too—half the users are wandering around lost because they don't know what's going on or which chat room is actually active. Nothing is broken, and nothing is lost. The USA isn't ruined.
Let's be real, you guys didn't even open the door for a conversation on this. I have no idea where this thread is headed, but I'm glad you showed up, if nothing else. 🙂
And then this is what I'm stuck dealing with:
nata_lie said:Jeremy Johnson18 thinks he’s playing God now that he finally found a purpose.
The Princess said:Man, I just realized which project actually turned this fashion scene into what it is today. 🎉
Quick poll via DM: why exactly can't we stand Latica? Let's lay out the reasons. 🙂
I just hope they actually get some kind of certificate or recognition for crushing this project—something they can actually slap on a resume down the road. :D
I know they used to hand out Certificates or Diplomas as proof of participation in these projects. 👍
typhoid_mary said:Give it a rest already. Nobody wants anything to do with you, so just leave people alone.
Marie Antoinette said:Look, Jeremy Johnson18... Why do you care so much about getting everyone back to the States? From where I'm sitting, it feels like half the crowd doesn't give a damn if this group is around or not. Honestly, most people are probably relieved we're gone. You're the only one obsessing over it. Why?
The Princess said:To me, he’s still just that depressing kid from the Virtual Birthplace who thinks the whole world owes him something. People like that shouldn't be leaders, and they definitely shouldn't want to be. Like the old saying goes: a leopard never changes its spots.
Look, I came here with nothing but good intentions to have a real conversation. You ignored me, while the rest of the crew jumped down my throat, spreading rumors, insulting me, leaking stuff from private messages, and baiting me. Now you’re twisting the facts and acting like nobody’s listening? Sorry, but after that circus, I’m done. I don't owe this discussion any more of my time.
Let me make this crystal clear: anyone can pitch an idea for the Theme of the Day, and (almost) everyone gets heard. If you think you can actually step up and raise the bar, go ahead and try—nobody is stopping you.
Also, nobody kicked you out. The US is still open to everyone and you're all more than welcome here. If you choose not to participate, that’s on you, and there's no point arguing about it anymore. For everyone else, if you've got something to say, speak up. As far as I'm concerned, we can lock this thread. LP
Larry Walker24 said:He just has the guts for it. He’s flexible, looks at the big picture, and he's easy to deal with because he actually knows how to explain his reasoning—honestly, when he hands you a card, you almost feel bad complaining about it. I don't know, man, I think he’s a solid mod. And for the record, he’s definitely handed me cards before, so don't go thinking I'm just sucking up since he's never done it.
Spot on description, 👍 and thanks for the heads-up.
I gotta give you credit too, even if you do tend to go overboard sometimes. You're basically the mascot of this forum; you're one of a kind. 😍
wanderingpanther68 said:Are you kidding me? 😁 It’s always been like this when you run searches back-to-back; you have to wait out the cooldown between them. There’s no other ☕ way around it, everyone deals with it. Those few seconds drive me nuts too, but I just pull up something else to read while I wait.
But I can't even get the first one to load. 🐔
Is this because I sent those pics to the admins and now you're all targeting me? I know it used to work fine before.
So I go ahead and click on the user list to see who's been active on this thread, find my target for some light stalking, and then—boom—I can't even view their posts.
I get hit with this:
This forum requires that you wait 60 seconds between searches. Please try again in 60 seconds.
Daniel Nguyen2 said:I’m seriously losing my mind over how much this whole situation sucks. It’s just pure chaos and honestly feels like we're being played. Everything is falling apart and it's driving me crazy! That's what you get for being an idiot
Shame on you. Showing up uninvited like this just to mess with our peace is low. ☕
You think they’re actually coming back? Like things will just go back to how they used to be?
If the plan is to return as some fractured mess split into 12 different chat rooms, honestly, I don't find that much comfort in it. Neither will they. It’s an awkward spot for everyone involved, and they clearly don't want to face it. Idiots. 😬
