I am asking for your help....

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Just my two cents...

I agree this site is a community, and this particular forun is the place where it sometimes all hangs out. <br
I love this forum, and truth be told it had great sentimental value because it is a place where I have made some awesome friends whom I treasure very much.
I don't feel worthy to hang out on the Imperial forum. <br
 
"I don't feel worthy to hang out on the Imperial forum.&quot <br
Eeeeek, don't say that. EVERYONE is worthy to hang out ANYWHERE, yourself included. No 'set designations' or any of that nonsense. :)
 
Uh, but that is the way some of us are made to feel <br
I don't whine about it.....but it is a reality.
 
Imperial, imperious, it's all making sense to me now. But that won't stop me from chiming in there if I want to. Hey, I'm the not so proud owner of a basket case 1950 Westy Laundromat so I think that might even make me worthy <br
I also found that the header on your thread can make a world of difference. I got no hits on a couple of posts when I was seeking advice while shopping for a new washer. I took one last stab at it and posted my header in the form of a general question and got tons of input--on Deluxe <br
Bottom line, I think we all can agree that we should do our part to reel it in here on Super, some more than others, and demonstrate to Robert that we don't need a babysitter anymore. We are on probation everybody, so I'll offer this up as our collective motto/mantra: Oh, beHAVE!
 
ralp

robert or anyone els

for allowing me or anyone els
to comment on an open board
 
Hey Bad Boyz

This is my drive by posting <br
I haven't read anything on this thread except Robert's post <br
You all know right from wrong <br
Stop being naughty <br
Urm... I really don't know what else to say besides... I hope things go back to the way they where two years ago
I miss that! <br <br
And, I miss you guy's!
 
Woohoo!

Bethann, glad you chimed in! I couldn't agree with you more. 2 years ago, this was a VERY fun place to be; we were all friends and took part in some spirited discussions with quite a bit of great humor going around. Not to mention the excitement of the then-upcoming Convention that was going to take place June...can't believe all of that time has passed since that. <br
Again, great to see you posting <br
 
I do not need a babysitter, nor should anyone else

I know what is and isn't acceptable.As should everyone else. What if this discussion were happening at a very nice restaurant and someone said something that made the record stop as it were.If Robert were the owner of the restaurant, would you get him out of what ever he was doing and tell him make it stop? No of course not! If I hear someone in a group saying something that I think is a little bit 'off' I ignor it, or everyone gives him or her blank stares, or it just goes on, and maybe the next time we all go out, we do not not invite the trouble maker.It is a respect thing. I would like to relax, have fun, not ask anyone to be the gistopo.I say Kudos to Robert for doing a good job for the price of free.Although, I would like to ask that if someone wanted to make a contribution, that there is a way to do that,not that it is expected or required.i would send money if I was given the chance.Just my 150.02
PS: i am glad for this place we have to discuss. I thoguht for the longest time, like my whole life, that I was the only one that had this love for washers and dryers, and wanting to start a collection, but thtought that others would look at me like what is wrong with you, try tennis or collect rocks, or get really rcih and collect cars, those are normal. By this site being here, I now know what is normal for me.
 
Wow i must be the only person who doesnt know whats going on with that infamous forum someone email me what happened please so as we dont waste our treasured bandwith. I would never ever take part in bashing someone or a specific group or get extremely political however, i do post my opinions in certian topics and keep in mind everyone else's feelings and respect. If people want respect they give it thats what i do! I have to this day have never been disrespected or felt that way by anyone here. We are all adults or at least try to act like ones! Lets try to keep it in the family (related to what the website was made for) :P
 
All one has to do is look at the pics on the yellow Super Forum area to see what general topics are discussed. Detergents, small appliances, and appliances other than washers or dishwashers are viable topics. We have also enjoyed chats on jukeboxes, cars, electronics, etc. I don't see any problem discussing "household" topics either; recipes, alternative energy, appliance manufacturer news, etc. If the Super Forum is to be continued, these general topics as well as pic threads don't seem unreasonable. I doubt that there would be an Orwellian Forum Chief that would have you picked up for posting about hair dye, but I digress <br
What I have grown weary of is the need for some to post uber bizarre, controversial, and/or inflammatory topics that have nothing to do with anything that holds this common interest group together; appliances. If I want social, religious, or political commentary, I'll get on a blog, grab a newspaper, or watch the news. Most of us have dealt with office chaos all day long, put up with traffic jams, heard the latest tragedy story on the news, and would, frankly, like a little escape to something more pleasurable. This place gives us the outlet most need to "chill" for a while. I'm sure there are more "liberating" forums out there just waiting to be clicked on <br
Contrary to what some believe, this is a group of friends that share a wonderful interest/hobby; not a "clique". There are some who have never met, yet share the bond of friendship. For many who have been able to meet, the friendship is instant and the conversation never lacking. If you can't get along with this terrific group...let me put it in simple terms <br
The river of friendshi
is easily forde
but not by thos
that fear the wate <br
To keep this site running like a well-oiled machine, there just needs to be a little common sense and respect among the members.
 
You know, we're all adults here - act that way. It's not necessary to run and tell the teacher everytime someone says something that gets your things twisted. Who cares? Handle it like an adult and respect our gracious host's time. He's not the site babysitter. Some of the reactions to even trite things leave much to be desired. If you really have to stop and think about whether or not something might be appropriate for the site, then it probably isn't. Just my humble opinion. Personally, ain't nothin' on here I've ever read that offends me, but maybe others feel differently.
 
Help Request!

I have not seen that paticular posting. But robert has worked so hard to keep the club going. If he requests something be done or not done I hope everyone listens and cooporates
Remember we have a Great thing going here. (Don't screw Up
Thank you again Robert for all that you do

Elephants never forget...

And goldfish have a 15 second attention span.. <br
I'm somewhere in between, perhaps moer towards the goldfish when it comes to the "Disgusting" thread. Can't remember anything about what it said. Maybe I read it and simply said "so what?" to mayself, and consigned it to the trash bin. Maybe I never clicked on it. Do I care? Not really <br
Here's my take on the current situation. This is Robert's site. In a sense, he is the boss of us here. When my boss at work gets real busy, I (usually) know better than to bug him with questions about stuff that I could probably figure out for myself. And I almost always know better than to start whining about some co-worker to him... if for no better reason than that it just adds to his stress and workload <br
I participate in a few other non-Vintage message sites, and the corporate software usually has a censorship robot, so that one cannot include words like "suck", or "tit", and all sorts of other words that have perfectly legitimate non-obscene meanings. It's very frustrating trying to express ones' self with those darn robots. One of the charms of this site is the lack of such PC nonsense. We get a lot of freedom to express ourselves here; let's not abuse it or stress out the BOSS unless we all are looking to get FIRED <br
LOL
 
Honestly, I do not even remember that thread. But hells bells, I cant remember what I did yesterday. Anyway, I dont really post here that often; only if something really peaks my interest. I have chatted with some really nice people on here...and its really nice to chat with people who share the same interests as we all do. I have not ever met anyone from this site, and likely will never be able to attend a wash-in, as much as I would love to. I still love to see collections, discussions, and opinions. Granted, washers are not a popular hobby by any means....just with us. But we are all here for the same purpose... So, to make my .02 worth, mind your P's and Q's before you start a new thread. If something doesnt really interest me, I simply dont read it. Frankly, if its not appliance, detergent, etc, related, I could care less. I would be willing to pay for this site, if push came to shove. However, Robert is the creator and moderator of this site. His wishes and/or requests related to the site are really for all of us to respect. I think a key word here is RESPECT...for the site, for Robert, and for each other. I love this site, and don't like it when the big boss gets upset with all of us just because of a few that can't contain themselves. Just my 2 cents guys.

"I doubt that there would be an Orwellian Forum Chief that would have you picked up for posting about hair dye&quot <br
yet, respectfully, you and a few other core members have promoted precisely that exact concept several times today, wit
your references to "policing&quot <br <br
"I'm sure there are more "liberating" forums out there just waiting to be clicked on.&quot <br
and again, you are trying to cherry-pick who is allowed to participate on this forum and who is no <br <br
if you find a particular subject matter or topic that threatens your serenity, then simply DON'T CLICK ON IT.. <br
the choice is your <br
 
how about a leeeetle bit of programming?

How about adding a single screen between the screen where you post something to Super thread that says something like this forum is a place for such and such, please be sure that what you are about to post is appropriate for the community <br
Then, perhaps a disclaimer somewhere on the index of threads that says Robert is not responsible for items posted here, and please do not bug him about them <br
I know it sucks to have to weed through stupid email and determine that the sender has their panties in a bunch, but maybe the solution is to just ignore it <br
Robert... I love the site, and I really appreciate what you do. Thanks!
 
remember, robert's beef in this pos
is not with the content, though he may disdain i
his issue is why must he be the gigantic mighty oa
the kids all hide behin
when a snowball fight breaks ou

and there is a justifiable element to his ple <br
