I sent Thrifty an e-mail (because I really, really like her and will miss her like crazy) and deleted the board link from my Bookmarks. For those who know me well, that's a BIG DEAL. I take my bookmarking very seriously.

You can delete your posts here - there is a link to do so in the drop-down.

Yup just posted it. I'm guessing most folks didn't check out the gear box. I know us admins could, so I figured folks weren't seeing a gear box at all. My goof. Please, though, folks, if you delete a post you made, please try not to delete it if it's the first post of a discussion with replies.

Val, it works fine. I've deleted several of my own posts, usually when there's a lag time & my posts accidentally double post. Did it just yesterday.

Wow. I am a bit special. I was trying out the deleting and hit the down arrow on your post. Then wondered why I didnt have a delete option. Sometimes I cant be trusted alone apparently. I like bigger better kitty boxes. With bigger better toys. But I dont want a free kitten. I cant handle any more litter box changing.

Betty, leaving that board was a big deal for me as well. But I didn't like the direction it was heading in, and felt my time was better spent creating something new. Anyway, I'm really glad you're here

I wonder why so many were saying they couldn't delete then? Guess they didn't get curious enough I have a different view than everyone else, so I figured the delete was blocked for some reason. Duh me. Anyway, it's there. And I *think* the Proboards TOS prohibits me from blocking members from deleteing anyway.

Not very convincing. I am going to start my own Kitty Boxes and they will have better treats, bigger toys, softer cat beds, a foos ball table, and be delivered by my own plane. Hey kritter you need a new partner? I can provide the free kittens. AHEM! (clearing throat) On a lighter note: hahaha - Val created a fake ID for her board.

I'm sorry, Betty. Stuff like this was NEVER the intention of those who created this place. Never.

Well I guess it's a good thing you didn't send white knights. If you can't be stealth with a fake ID, then you probably would have gotten everyone else, including the horses, held hostage over there.
All is forgiven.

It is sad to see this happen. There were a lot of good memories on that board and to see it have this much problem is horrible. I doubt anyone wanted that. I can only speak for myself, but I left because I did not like the way it was being run, BUT had no issues with anyone there. From the TW the other night to this now, its very sad.
I think things tend to get blown way out of proportion online and people sometimes misread information or hearsay and just run with it. Obviously, that isn't a great idea. And now many people who have posted online together for years are upset. Thats a shame.

Shirley, you are making a very attractive offer. Now it can be a free kitten in every 25 boxes. One minute Dantes is flinging a jihad at me and the next minute she is banging on my door. Does she think she is at the other place where she can't delete jihad plane painting posts? Hellllllo, you can delete posts here.

Um, gang? Let's not toss the jihad word around. We might get the CIA snooping around here. OTOH, if any of them sell onlne in their spare time, that could be a good thing.

I agree with Clean. There were a lot of good times there as well as great information shared.
It is really sad that all this is going down the way that it is. I really don't think anyone wanted all this to happen.

In all seriousness: I'm sorry about this. I originally wanted to leave quietly. I just wanted to find the delete button and be done with it. Well that didn't happen, so it turned into somewhat of a comedy. I'm just sorry for others that got dragged into this. I sincerely apologize.

You didn't do anything wrong. There's nothing unreasonable or unusual about wanting to delete your account from an online forum.

It wasn't your fault, Dantes. You posted a question on a forum that you were an active member on. You aren't the one that caused the trainwreck. As for the comedy here, it's been a lot more fun than listing

Definitely been more fun than listing, thats for sure.
Dantes, another vote for you did nothing wrong. All you did was ask a simple question.
Who knew that he had shut down every available option that a member had for their account.

I agree. Nothing that happened today is a result of you wanting to delete your account Dantes. I also agree that I am horribly saddened to see what is happening. I too have friends over there that i know wont come over here and I wont get to talk with them as much.
It should have been made known that the changes had been made and not found my accident by a member. I think we all deserved that level of respect. I had no intention of leaving there but kind of felt as though I must chose, or that because I chose to also post here I shouldn't be over there.*
I am hopeful that time will mend all hurts and we can all come together again in the future.
*ETA: By a few posts made over there, not here.

For me, it was nothing that you guys did or said at all. I just didn't feel good there anymore, as much as I liked a vast majority of the posters.

You didn't do anything wrong at all Dantes. Things just took on a life of their own after a stupid screenshot was misconstrued. That is totally not your fault.

I really like nearly everyone on that board, but I just don't feel comfortable posting there right now. It's ironic, that whole debacle started because people weren't happy that their board was being discussed elsewhere. If I understood correctly, the message from Kevin tonight was to discuss it all we want, as long as it is done elsewhere. I really do try to express my opinions respectfully, but sometimes I do feel the need to express them. But now I kind of feel like if we express them there, it will piss people off, and if we express them here, it will piss people off. So I feel like it's best if I just stay out of there for now so I won't have any opinions to express.

I still go there but I am really done with all the negativity and drama. I try to stay out of the train wrecks. I love respectful, spirited debates about issues but not when it becomes so personal and a differece of opinion is viewed as a personal affront.

I sent Thrifty an e-mail (because I really, really like her and will miss her like crazy) and deleted the board link from my Bookmarks. For those who know me well, that's a BIG DEAL. I take my bookmarking very seriously. Thrifty's a straight shooter and very much a what you see is what you get type - always OK in my book. I think she's been blindsided by a lot of the changes that have been proposed/implemented over there and is caught in the middle.

I think Thrifty is being used as a scapegoat in everything. I don't think she had anything to do with anything that has transpired recently and she doesn't have any control over there anymore from what I gather. I understand the conflict of interest of her not being mod there and member here and I do agree with the tension that is probably best. But as far as her as a person I wouldn't have any issues with her being a member here.
