*sigh*
Jeri, you don't own us. The email list is perfectly accessible to any of us, not to mention that when we REGISTERED at the other board, it created an email list for Ted and Tessa, YOU included! I have no connection with them...I think I've spoken to them one on one exactly once. However, I have seen their efforts to help you out be flat out ignored and now COMPLETELY taken out of context. It's annoyed me for some time.
They offered to transfer managership of the new board to you. They offered the domain, everything. Unless you said something to them in private, I never saw you even acknowledge it except to tell everyone you were "working on something else". That something else has turned out to be a board of much lower quality than the one Ted and Tessa set up for us. It has horrible graphics and a poor layout. The type of board that they set up is FAR superior to the aimoo setup and offers many more options in a much safer and easier to use format. Before this happened I checked out your new board and knew I couldn't be active there...the oversized blinking animations and huge graphics and bright colours and poor layout is too hard on my eyes.
They have stolen nothing. When you made it clear you didn't want anything to do with it, they simply left it up for those of us who are sick and tired of having to go all over just to keep in touch with the friends we've made due to some petty arguments amoungst the managers. I'm sure they didn't want all their hard work for us to go to waste, and some of us really liked the layout and were hoping you or Janice would come around and take advantage of the opportunity they were offering.
I will be at Ted and Tessas board because they have shown, through their hard work and honesty, that they have the best interests of ALL OF US in mind. No petty arguments and grudges, no need to retain control over everyone, and frankly, they have a heck of a lot more knowledge about board layout and design and structure, which makes the posting experience much nicer and makes me want to spend more time there. I've always hated MSN and Aimoo is just another crappy version of it.
Please, none of this is personal and i beg you to stop seeing the worst in everyone the instant something doesn't go the way you want it to. It's causing a lot of strain for the rest of us feeling torn between loyalties. Remember high school?
No, none of us really want to either. That's what it feels like around here when this kind of stuff happens.
It seems Ted and Tessa have been banned...why? Because you didn't take the time to find out what was happening and assumed the worse. That is completely uncalled for. I only glance at the boards once a day as I'm too busy for much more and I could clearly see what was going on, see their honest efforts and good intentions.
I like you a lot Jeri, and Frank...but if you guys are going to manage a board, you need to act like managers and make decisions that are in the best interest of the board, not in the best interest of your immediate emotions.
My unasked for two cents...but I can't let this snowball into yet another issue that was caused by simple miscommunication.
