Model Forum / General / Rockets / November 2007What Happend Here????
Hi All. When I BAR'd back in 93, this forum was getting 125 to 200 post a day. Today... 1 1 post (not spam). WTF? HDS > When I BAR'd back in 93, this forum was getting 125 to 200 post a day. > Today... 1 > 1 post (not spam). WTF? Some of the, ah, "more verbose" people no longer visit here. The discussions have dispersed to various other forums (TRF, oldrocketforum, etc.), and the various focused places like the Yahoo rocketry groups (contestRoc, scaleroc, OldRockets, etc.)  SignatureSteve Humphrey (replace "spambait" with "merlinus" to respond directly to me) >> When I BAR'd back in 93, this forum was getting 125 to 200 post a day. >> Today... 1 [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > oldrocketforum, etc.), and the various focused places like the Yahoo > rocketry groups (contestRoc, scaleroc, OldRockets, etc.) Driven in large part by the viciously obscene posts and spam spewing attacks of one particular usenet terrorist. >>>When I BAR'd back in 93, this forum was getting 125 to 200 post a day. >>>Today... 1 [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Driven in large part by the viciously obscene posts and spam spewing attacks > of one particular usenet terrorist. Between Fred Wallace and Phil Stein there is no room here for actual rocketry posts, only personal invective.

Ed, If you wish to talk rocketry, then rocketry it is. If on the other hand, you wish to sling sh.t, then expect similar responses. Now, what was the subject of your last rocketry post??? I must of missed it Ed -- other than your persistent antagonistic ragging on other posters. BTW, have you talked to your brother Jerry lately?? When you going to rejoin TRA Ed??? Have a happy thanksgiving Ed.

Either way, it just drives up the noise level and drives away the users. Can't you just leave this crap in your drafts folder? Sticking your chest out like this ain't much different than sporging. Most of us learn, by about age 5, that by ignoring taunts like this, the taunters will go away. You must have skipped kindergarten the day they went over it. 10 bucks sez you you'll have to reply....

Perhaps you should re-read your post and take your own advise.. Never went to kindergarten and skiped most of the first grade, maybe explains my low level of BS tolerance.. (:-) Fred > Between Fred Wallace and Phil Stein there is no room here for actual > rocketry posts, only personal invective.- Hide quoted text - Like as if you have a long history of talking rockets here.

I'd love to see you support this with facts - as opposed to your opinion. Phil I'm reporting the abuse to usenet-abuse@mtu.ru. The source of the floodbot is "ppp83-237-242-234.pppoe.mtu-net.ru" and the header information clearly states the previous e-mail address as a report acceptor.

Besides Usenet there were services such as Compuserve. Today anyone with a static IP can setup a message board reachable by anyone in the world. 2) Fewer people know that Usenet even exists. ISP's rarely tout it as one of their services. Only tech geeks seem to be aware. 3) The recent sporgery attack seems to have run off quite a few of the remaining die hards. SignatureDavid W. Schultz http://home.earthlink.net/~david.schultz ------ "What you don't know should be a goad to make you try and find out, not an excuse to bliss out and sit drooling into your filet mignon." -- PZ Myers >2) Fewer people know that Usenet even exists. ISP's rarely tout it as >one of their services. Only tech geeks seem to be aware. My own ISP doesn't even support it anymore - I had to personally subscribe to GigaNews in order to retain my feed. As providers move towards more Web-based services, we'll soon find that nobody will offer client-based (SMTP, NNTP, perhaps even FTP) options anymore. |
