me:
There is a diference between "Kissing a Programs Ass" and telling ppl "I moved on, others should do the same in my opinion." I no more attacked them, then you are me Freez. I read the statements made since those first remarks and you see the impartial opinion I would expect..I will tell you what, I work hard to help people get the most out their WinMX and BT in the rooms. I send them to this forum for help, not to be told they are doomed by the people in charge here.
Grinch:
Now that is an impartial statement, so my post expressing my concern obviously made some sense.I do believe the flooding is working to some degree as is the taking down of trackers. But resilient users of both platforms stand together and fight back. I'm all for people using winmx, I just feel that an alternative should be known.
Not once did I say this forum should only cuddle with WinMX, as I said..and will reiterate for you all.. I help people with All types of issues.. including BT. I want to cuddle them all!
As for attacking, I am just saying how I feel a Moderator of anysite should be positive to helping users of all the programs we promote.
Freez:
You may be doing your best to promote WinMX and this site, but a lot of us were there for a hell of a lot longer than you, and until you have put in the time and dedication that we have to building a teaching/ learning environment then your "lets all cuddle with WinMX" philosophy holds little weight.
That sounds more like a personal attack: "hey you stupid kid dont buck the elders." I dont think you or anyone is capable of judging my dedication or knowledge of this program. I was sorry to see WCH go its way, but if you would spend some time in either of the CricketMX rooms you "might" get some idea just how dedicated we really are to helping ppl with all their needs not just WinMX. This forum is the heart of that operation as its our source of reference for people.

I think you are over reacting a bit. You are the only one I ever see in the rooms besides Battye. I am not going to say I liked your statement about not haveing winmx even installed. However it was the context of it that caused my convern, being posted after Grinch's statement gave a cascading effect to my eyes for new users to see.
You are the only Moderator that I acctually see posting and around the forum on a regular basis and no one wants you to step down based on posts made here.
As far as posting goes, you have seen the rooms. However unless any of you spend the amount of time I do in them you cant understand the time it takes to run and help the many we get in there. I run this machine 24/7 and unlike some hosts of some rooms on WinMX i am 'hands on' and proactive in them both. Rock and several others are in those rooms everyday as well. You've made these comments in the room and on here now and I really dont feel i can leave them unanswered.
I dont post in all sections of the forum and I am not a Mod here so sticking to the secions I can do some good with what time I have is well enough for me.
Look incase anyone missed it, my point is this..
I dont beleive we should give new users the impression that having WinMX is a waist of there time. I dont expect us to not talk about the positive and the negative sides to any program (including BT) i do all the time myself, I only wanted everyone to realize how that sounded to someone who may be a new user.
We should be united in saving all P2P systems in these days of legal assault and money hungry tactics.
So I would like for us all to step back and see that we are not the enemys here..
