Re: "Frothing at the mouth"
"Just today, (4-22-2003) there have been several such rabid, baseless, frankly, freaky threads and posts, specifically in this forum."
Jonathan, I know we users can be a headache, but isn't rabid, baseless, and freaky threads what AI is all about?
Certainly you don't need to micromanage every thread in every section of the topic. Maybe you should save YOURSELF the grief, instead of telling board users to get a life.
The feeling an admin has-admiration and annoyance with his users, protection and pride about his board-I feel these things too. Sometimes it gets intense.
You've broadcasted your need for a break to the forums. And personally, I sympathesize. I'm in the hot seat now, and these forums are MY break.
Anyway, Jonathan, thanks for what you do. And although we may be trifling, bombastic, and irritating at times, please dip into that wealth of patience that all administrators have, and restrain yourself from lashing out at us.
Thanks again...

I hope not... It has been getting pretty bad.
I mean when the Apple Store is down for whatever brief time, is that cause for a new thread?
I don't think Jonathan is trying to rain on our parade but just trying to keep heads in check and the boards somewhat clean. We all know what AI frenzies are like...they can get ugly if not managed.

Actually yes.
No, it did not used to be this bad.

Exactly. Administrators and Mods are there for reasons, and micromanaging every thread like a thought police isn't one of them. Just let the people post and be happy about it.
But I agree about FH. I made a thread about the Apple store being down a week ago as a joke. It got 33 posts and 2500+ looks. Scary stuff.

Appleinsider has a reputation to keep up .
Of course, things will probably become even worse when the next PowerMacs are released.

MORE ANUS CREAM NEEDED OVER HERE!
seriously, though, it is a good thing that he posted that because people are just going crazy over the thoughts of "g5, color screened, 80Gig, Bluetooth, AirPort extreme iPods that can also slice, dice, mince, and be nice to your kids...." or something like that
the number of posts were becoming insane, probably, and they were not really need, were they? Who knows...probably not if juan-oo-uan posted that thang
People are going crazy though, over at SpyMac...ugh... people are posting crazy pics in the gallery.... and the best rumors sites are being very conservative about the whole thing to keep their reputation up, because this could break a rumor sites' legitimacy (especially for such a young one as LoopRumors)
am i just rambling now?
