Has B3D become the cool kid on the block?

*cough* Hypocrite! *cough*

You have proven to do the complete opposite of what you have stated Russ.

I never said it stopped me from posting, I just consider what I'm saying.

(But actually, I don't post about 1/3 of the responses I write after reviewing my thoughts. Scary huh? With all the mindless drivel I spew, what's the crap I don't spew?)

Errr, perhaps I won't say that I've just this minute come back from the bank to talk about registering Beyond3D as a business then... Oops, just did!

Why don't we find out?

Please, this is a respectable family-oriented site

What were you thinking that I was thinking?

Who owns B3D btw?? Is it a listed company?

B3D is currently "just another website". Dave Barron owns www.beyond3d.com but you wouldn't've guessed it if you've just visited this site not more than 2 years ago. For all intents and purposes, Dave Baumann should be regarded as Da Man. The rest of us are here only to take the blames

I especially don't like how there is only 1 news post per month or so. It gets boring looking at the same news topic for 31 days or so.
Sometimes I wonder why I bothered to bookmark the front page rather than just the forum.

We're not, and have never been (although we made rather lame attempts at it in the past), a news site. I'd like to think the stuff we do post on the front page (besides in-house content announcements) makes for good reading (Dave's editorials, links to articles at other sites), instead of news posts like "This site has a review of...".

I agree with you that things are changing here, and partially due to the new members B3D has aquired recently, but I think that the excellent examples set by the B3D "lifers" will set the trend on how things are to be discussed, and how new members should act. These forums bring out the intelligence in people who actually want to be here, it is a place to learn for them. The bad ones will just go away, because this place is not their style.....just my two cents.

That's an interesting comment. I have recently looked at some of my recent technology-related posts and realized that I'd been talking about stuff that can be turned into an article. But I'm just too lazy to write articles

I dont think that your too lazy to write them, god know's you've got the talent, maybe there's some other reason why you dont?
I think that if you were to turn some of your thoughts into articles, we would all enjoy reading them. I think that you would enjoy writing them too

 

[epicstruggle]

i think right now we are stuck in a rut of name calling. I hope we get over many of these issues soon.

All hands rasied for all who vote in favour of Rev to write articles?

/me raises hand

Seriously Rev, you do have a talent for writing articles. I myself would love some new ones written up by you.

Rev: You know what I mean by news post.
I got myself into a bad habbit of calling any post a news post only because it appears on the front page.
