Some guy will just pick a fight out of nowhere simply because he can't stand someone else.

I don't want us to ruin this awesome community and give Shadow a reason to shut us all down because of constant bickering.

Personally, I’d rather try to find some common ground with everyone instead of just dodging each other. I know there are good people here who deserve a fresh start.

If you need to vent your frustrations, shift your perspective, or actually make some new friends, you're more than welcome to join in. 🎉

My chat thread has gathered a bit of dust, but looks like it's still breathing. 🙂
Where is everyone? It feels empty without you guys.

EDIT: quick reminder—you promised this thread wouldn't get moderated, so let's stick to that.

Hey boss, did you get it done? Respect. 👍

The Forum has never been this fast. 🙏

driftingtinker said:So, I took the feedback to heart. Decided it wasn't really my style, so I'm planning on moving on from that whole thing. If I ever decide to go back to clicking that little triangle icon again... well, I won't be stopping anyone.

Basically, just trying to make these discussions actually worth something, so I cleared out my ignore list—kept maybe two people on there, I guess—and I'm looking forward to some actual constructive back-and-forth for once.

What is wrong with you?

You're acting way too reasonable for this sub. ☕

Terry Barnes7 said:Just so we're clear, does this mean I can actually list everyone I have on my ignore list right in my signature?

Kinda provocative, don't you think? 😁

dustypilot11 said:Hey Jeremy Johnson18 😘

I think everything's pretty clear, right? 😉

Actually, I wanted to ask about moderator stuff, but you know we aren't supposed to talk about that in public.

No biggie if you're not interested. No hard feelings. 🙂

Grace Sanders24 said:Look, I know he's flying solo right now, but we've gotta step up so he doesn't feel like he's drifting out there by himself. That's exactly what we're doing—basically forcing him out of isolation by any means necessary.🍿

What forces are we even talking about here? You mean that blinking smiley face icon? 🤔

Walter Baker2 said:So when's the wedding?

It's pretty obvious. ☕

They did that on purpose because you're flagged, and you won't stop showing up in that banned chat.
It’s all over Wikipedia, too. Go ahead, keep messing with Americans. 🙂

dustypilot11 said:Stay strong, Josh. You can pull this off. Just think about those kids growing up without a dad around. Help the guy beat his addiction. 🕺

dustypilot11, I think I’m actually in love. 😘

Anyway, if you're down for some gossip, I've got something for you. 🍿

Honestly, I’m at my best when ruggedscout76 gets all the hate. She changes the chat name, and suddenly everyone’s pointing fingers at Latic instead.
Then they drift off-topic, someone else flips the chat name back, and everyone’s suddenly best friends again, acting like Boa is some kind of saint. 🤣

And then I'm the immature one because I get pissed off when people I can't stand start acting up.
But hey, I guess I just have to love them, right? 🙂

ruggedscout76 said:And what about Jeremy Johnson18? 🍿

You're just drifting into Offtopic for no reason.
I highly doubt Maria Barnes—or whatever clone she's running today—has any history on the US chat.
Andy is leading us down the wrong path here. We need to look into this right now.

Maria Barnes said:Thanks for asking. 😁

Like I’ve mentioned before, I see Lonely Heart as the vanguard of this Forum. 🙂 I stumbled into the US section just when Ludica stepped up as a mod. My goal was to fix a glaring flaw we have when bringing in new mods—throwing them straight into the fire to figure it out themselves without actually teaching them the Forum's core vision. Usually, new mods just mimic whatever the previous ones did or follow rules from other sub-forums, which isn't always the right move. The vision for the Forum—and specifically for Lonely Heart as a microcosm of the whole site—is too massive to explain in one post. But it has worked; the moderator discussions in US are now almost as active as the main threads themselves. 🙂

Rome wasn't built in a day, so these ideas will roll out as they come. Their defining trait is that they break away from standard forum clichés.

Since I've been closely monitoring US for about a month and a half now, I feel the need to jump in and go beyond the surface level. Sometimes I forget to switch to my alt account, so my posts end up under this handle. 😁

As for Butterfly, she’s a veteran mod who consistently contributes to moderator discussions and stays fully looped into everything we’re trying to build. She helped bring Shadow in moderation on board, helped brainstorm ideas, and has been incredibly active behind the scenes. Honestly, she was basically our third mod long before she officially got the title. Lata used to be a mod back on LJES during its peak years, so she understands the spirit of the old Forum—back when things were more inventive and exciting, before everyone started getting banned or kicked, and topics were rarely locked. That connection to the Forum's original inspiration is invaluable. Since I know how she thinks and we click, she was my choice, regardless of whether people liked it or not. You can't please everyone, and I'm not going to waste energy trying.

Anyway, do you have any specific complaints about Latino moderation, or do you just dislike her?

Anyone ever run into Mole?

Hey Butterfly, how's that tattoo coming along? 🍿

wearybison63 said:How exactly did you get the feeling he was coming at you just because of a couple of emojis?🤔

He threw in a couple of asides and then just went straight for the insults in the same damn post.
That’s exactly why I said I felt that way. 🐔

Why are you constantly running to Nico to justify everything you do?
So you insult me, and now she’s supposed to swoop in and make it right? 🤔

EDIT: I really hope people are seeing the posts you went back and edited. 👎

Larry Walker24 said:wtf?!

1. Where am I even jumping at you?!
2. Show me the post where I'm attacking you, please. Just link it.
3. Does every single pot need a lid?
4. This is an American football subforum, not a group chat, yet all you do is chat.
5. Next time, just use your actual handle instead of stealing the identity of a banned user.

I think my quoted post pretty much covers it. Feels like you're just barking at me for no reason.
It’s not the first time you’ve brought up my username for no reason—which, honestly, feels like a provocation—and it’s pretty hypocritical to call me out for "chatting" when you fail to say anything meaningful in your own posts and then expect me to just shut up.

I started this thread to actually fix the issue, not to start a massive feud. All I'm asking for is an apology, or at least for you to back off. 🙂

I’ve run into this guy jumping down my throat more than a few times now.

Peter Pan said:🤦🤦

Peter Pan said:div>

Look, I’m not one to go running to the mods for every little thing, but I just want Peter Pan to stop being so provocative.
I also expect an apology. He had zero reason to come at me, and honestly, he just ruined my experience on this forum. Peace.

Evogac. 🥳

Scott Long71 said:We have this private "Junk" sub-forum where all the low-quality threads and dead chat logs end up. It's basically a digital graveyard. Over the last few years, we've piled up over 10+ million posts there that nobody even looks at, and they're just eating up server resources. We're starting to clear them out bit by bit.

On top of that, there’s a ton of ancient threads that aren't worth the disk space anymore. For example, if you look under Information Technology > Hardware, you'll find threads dating back to 2003—there are hundreds of them. The Hardware and Geek Squad sections are actually our biggest sections in terms of total thread count, but almost no one opens them because the tech is obsolete and most were just one-off questions.

Don't worry, we aren't nuking anything valuable or stuff people actually read. And besides, we always keep a backup just in case.

Just a heads-up: posts in certain chat sub-forums don't count toward your total post count (like in Off-topic...). It's standard practice not to count casual chatter. However, on several other boards, those posts *do* count. Most of those chats are being moved to the Archive (where, honestly, they still count, which is a mistake), so you might see your total post count drop when that happens.

Basically, expect your post count to dip occasionally if you spend most of your time hanging out in the chat threads. 🙂

Larry Walker24 said:Hey boss, any plans to upgrade and modernize the Reddit site to a newer version?

I don't get why the post count is even showing up on the Coffee & Chill thread.

"Upgrade," my ass. 🙏

I honestly thought they were just shutting down the servers overnight to save on the electric bill since there aren't many people hanging out here anyway.🤣
