I sort of wish I had saved the old Tucson 2006 and Texas wash-in threads on the Super forum before the archives were "hard deleted." That's OK though; I did do wash-in picture threads in the Imperial forum as well so not to worry. <br
And please everyone, remember the title that you enter into your address bar every day or click on in your bookmarks. It's AUTOMATICWASHER.ORG. This is a WASHER AND APPLIANCE SITE (along with other things such as detergents, smalls, electronics, 'outdoor appliances' etc.), NOT a political rant site, NOT a self-pity site, NOT a news announcement site, or whatever else. Keep in mind the ORIGINAL intention. If you want to rant and express your feelings then create a website called crazypoliticalrant.org. Seeing this makes me miss the days when it was just the Applianceville board. All we talked about was vintage appliances (maybe a little modern thrown in from time to time) and nothing else. Not once did conversations get wildly off-topic over there <br
Honestly, it wouldn't be so bad if some people could take a joke and didn't manipulate things in their own twisted ways. 2 years ago (or even a year ago), if someone ranted or said something someone didn't like, we could give them a "virtual slap" and the result would be very humorous. Now, with all of the hungry sharks here waiting to attack, if someone makes a slap joke they will no doubt get taken seriously and jumped on; I've seen it happen. But I digress <br
And to those of you talking about rights, free speech, etc., there's absolutely nothing wrong with stating your opinions. I can only say this, though: remember where you are. This is Robert's site, as HIS time, effort, resources, etc. go into it, which enables him to do whatever he pleases, whenever. Some of you seem to be forgetting that and think it's a public access forum where you can say whatever you want and talk about whatever you want. Hardly the case <br
If the Super forum was one day up and gone, I would in fact miss it when I remember the time when it a fun place to be. Now, however, so many are abusing the "off-topic" privilege that I've become disgusted with it and could care less. I that hope in the coming weeks, there's enough improvement to where I change my mind. <br
I can definitely see where we will be talking about the forum situation as well in Tucson about 2 weeks from now <br
