To you TP mods who I know are reading this...stop with the childishness already. If you see a suspicious post, delete it and move on. By commenting about them you are only making things on your own forum worse. The situation wont die until you let it. The above was posted by ghetto. And she/he is right about commenting about them only making (OUR FORUM WORSE) tHE LONGER WE TALK ABOUT THEM THE MORE THEY WILL BUG!!!!!By commenting about them you are only making things on your own forum worse. The situation wont die until you let it.

In an effort to remove my name from being associated any further with TP, I have sent the following message, via PM, to Scout1:

"Perhaps you can forward this message to Jason, your ADMIN (and your fellow moderators)?:

I would like to ask that your moderators keep my name OFF your forum. I do not visit or post on your forum any longer. Haven't done so in over a month. This is ridiculous! I will expect to NOT see my name on your board any longer. I want nothing to do with that place and I'm tired of being accused of doing things I'm not doing. I cannot control what other people do. I have assisted your moderators in whatever way I could and yet my name is still slapped around on your forum like I am part of the problem. You are your own problem.

If someone copies/pastes something I say - fine, but accusing me of posting on your forum is just plain hogwash. Why would I continue to taunt your members when they are coming to my board to read all about it anyway? I wouldn't delight you all with my presence that way. Enough is enough. Have a good day.

Ansy1"

I cannot email the ADMIN directly since I was banned. Going through a moderator is the only choice I have (for now). Will she forward it? Who knows.

I REALLY want all this crap to end. The more they read here the more they stir the pot. If necessary, I will lock this forum so that only registered users can view it. That will stop them in their tracks!

I was only on TP for a very short time before (thank heavens) before the other forums were brought to my attention... I found that place very rude and one sided. It had to be the most bickering place I have ever been on! I cannot believe the way they get away with the crap they post there.. Well I do see how, it's because they delete it after it's been there for awhile. No off topic posts, or anything else not rule "approved" for anyone except themselves? eh, Hitler must be an icon for them. They need to grow up, it's sad to think about what their "real" lives must be like... well, if I wanted to waste my time thinking about it. There have been many times that I would have loved to tell the off and to restrain their fingers from typing but there is this little thing people have called SELF CONTROL. And for any TP members that read this... google it, you could learn something new today.

Sorry- had to add my 2 cents today.

I'm glad I read this. I have been MIA for a few days this week, we have whooping cough spreading around....and I was reading the post you were talking about today...I figure it was ment for me to see...so I posted something and when I started to post it was at 36 pages, then 34, then down to one. I thought I was loosing it. But now I know that I'm not. I do know that some of my wording posted here or at the petlovers forum has been put into topics over there. I stated that when quoting someone, they should make sure the whole wording is put not just part so that they aren't taking out of text and poof....the topic was gone. I thought it was because of me...but maybe not. I guess I'll find out sooner or later. As I stated before...I don't understand the problem with belonging to other forums. I belong to alot of them, but have only had problems with a few.

For normal people, there would not be anything wrong with it.. the key word being "normal". Glad to have you back.

I guess its a matter of time, that I will be banned. Some friends of mine made our own forum because of problems with the mods at a particular forum. Not Tp. I did not get banned. So if guilty by association. I could I suppose. I think being that their are so many teens, the mods probably forget that they are teens and see their input as something adults would say or do, so they go with it, forgetting they are siding with kids. I post only on serious threads. I don't usually bother with the bickering threads. Thats what the teens love. If its not you guys, it will be someone else. They love to play the lets guess who this person really is, game. Pretty silly. I don't have time for wasting on things like that. I like to get serious and seek out the ones that are there for the right reasons, not for entertainment of the night. I really do wish TP could be known for good reasons, not bad. When I first heard of it, trash was being slung their way on how rediculous things were there. Still its the same. I believe if someone has something to say about another person it should not be put on the board, private message should be done.

Ansy, do you have a way to make a administrator-Mod only section. Where you can discuss things privately we have one on our forum. Something to think about.

ADMIN ANSY · Site Admin

Puttin, I do have that ability (to make a mods only section {and there aren't any mods yet}), but I feel that would undermine everything this board was built for. I am very aware that, even with the few members we have, some of them don't like the bickering topics and I can understand that. I'm sure we will eventually all see the day when a topic we just can't stand is posted here. Someone will come in and start a topic about how cross breeds should never be bred eventually....lol.......a topic that I personally cannot stand.

However, in the big picture, in order to keep the board un-biased, it is only fair to leave all topics up. When you start deleting a few here and there then you get those who come back and say "why was my topic deleted and hers wasn't". Thats part of the problem at TP and I don't want that kind of system here. You either have to delete them all (which isn't an option...lol) or leave them all posted, that way no one can accuse you of giving biased favoritism to anyone.

I hope that you (and anyone else) can understand that although, centrally, this is a pet forum - any topic is allowed and can be discussed and I hope that you are not offended by it. There are lots of good topics here which are not hostile in the least.

This is just one of those things you run into when a group of people who are all different come together. I'm sure it will continue to happen here. I also want you all to know that I like each and every one of you and I never want to come off as being biased, therefore I will leave all threads as is. Even though this may seem petty to some of you, for some of the people here, it is a serious issue and they need a place to discuss it. Even I feel the need to address it at times. No one in their personal life would understand - because they haven't been through it. It's the internet, but we are still human.

I am confident that this will all end soon. I am working behind the scenes to make sure that it does. Just be patient with me.

I will try (I said try) to calm down. I know there are some that hate the bickering, but Ansy is right. If she starts deleting certain subjects, there is no way to be fair to everyone. That is IMO exactly what happened to tp... You start being unfair and biased, you start making people mad and the fight is on... But I love you puttin... I will try and be nice :)

I'm not worried about it, and I don't mind at all reading off topic threads. Our dogs is what we have in common, but our lives should not be invisible.

I do follow the rules everywhere I go, so I would not get banned from anywhere except over there since they don't follow their own rules."

Jaw, they banned me and i can go read post ,you can't?

jawlaw · Moderator

Yes - I can read them....

protodog · Forum Moderator

I like having the right to bicker here, even if I don't choose to exercise that right.

StormyWinter · Moderator

I actually feel like going over there and posting and see how long it will take them to ban me for following the rules. With my history there i'm sure it won't take long!

Denise · You have been awarded the Posting Star of Honor!

Even though I'm not involved per se in this situation I want to voice my thoughts on the situation as an "outsider" looking in. Yes, I understand how those of you who had been involved in TP need an outlet to discuss the issue. But what I actually think you have accomplished is giving power to those you would rather forget. By continually discussing the issues you have given that forum a sense that what they think or do matters. Personally I think the best way to end it is to totally ignore it. You guys say something, they say something - it will be a never-ending circle. For those of you who have made the choice, or had the choice made for you, to end your association with TP close the book on that chapter. You have a great new book here and don't let the past upheaval color this forum unfavorably. As much as I understand your frustration and anger against those from there who have said things about you or this forum, I know we want to continue to grow here & be a great site without all the hullaballoo (sp?) that you have left and I am sure some potential new members to this site might just get turned off (even tho I know it's their choice to read these threads of not).

TP is history and not a part of us & The Furum is the new fantastic forum for all of us to enjoy. Let's get back to what Ansy (in my opinion) envisioned when she created this forum!

MollieMae01 · Moderator

I agree, Denise. I'll TRY to forget about it and just leave it where it lies.

Shadow · Post-a-Holic - Give this person a rabies shot!

Spoken form what sounds like "A Woman of Wisdom"we should all heed her advice.Nicely said Denise.

jawlaw · Moderator

Denise- You are so right, but that little streak of rebelliousness and stubborness comes out in me and it is sooooooo hard to control....:):) I am trying to do better... or actually I think I have done better...I'm staying off of there. Especially now that this site has picked up so much!!
