During our private communication you urged me to "Get back in there and pump it up? "
We also spoke about this " “Some stats regarding who have gone silent and who posts the most.I suspect there are about ten or fifteen participants who make up 80-90 percent of all comments.”
You also said this
"You can actually do this yourself by dropping down to ‘members’ and looking at the post numbers?"
Well I'm back and I'm also happy that my "pumping it up" brought OM-15 ,who is a very long standing member ,out of hibernation.I hope others come back also.
I then took your advice and went into the members list and looked about.
It was noteworthy that it looked nowhere near how it previously looked when I last saw it.
You asked OM who he was mourning and in looking through the list:-
SOPS-May 22,4mstacker -last six weeks,Barkingmad-May22,Magnus-last six weeks,Bob -March 22,Creme Egg-May 22,Nick
Rivera-May 22.
Further observation is that there are less than 20 people on the form who make up by far the majority of the postings, as I suspected.
There is however one glaring entry on the list that many would not notice .We have one person on the list, who having apparently only joined us ten weeks ago, has made over a thousand postings ,which over the 85 days measured comes out at about 12 posts a day. We of course know that it is the same person who has posted previously under several different names over the years by initially using the name Caco and then changing it to The Green Goblin which he has now changed to The Green Anger.
It seems that the real data about this person who actually joined the forum at about the same time as I did, which was around 2018 'has somehow become lost in the laundry as the previous names have been deleted from the member list during your cleanup of the members list.
It we were to report his combined numbers from his changing name tags you would find him way out in front of us all, by far, as the most prolific poster.I estimate that as a poster, regardless his name, that his post numbers would be much closer to about 25 000.
The history of the poster has usually repeated itself where he ends up having to come back and apologize to other members for his apparent drunken and insulting behavior which's many know, really turned ugly in May of this year when he had some really nasty things to say to OM.
Maybe this has something to do with why some members have gone silent as they are fed up with his absolute dominance of much of what is said or perhaps are afraid to say something freely and then suffer being insulted if they say something that he does not like or tolerate.
You also said this to me admin2 "I would encourage opposing viewpoints and will endeavour to keep things ‘gentlemanly’
"
As you have seen I have prodded a bit at the Green Anger and within two or three prods his real insulting character popped out again where as soon as opposing views ,he did not agree ,with responded to by declaring me to be "innumerate".Even today he goes after the "rightwingers" apparently trying to welcome's people back but as usual using the opportunity to also throw out one his high and mighty, arrogant insults.
The really troubling one to me ,admin2 is that despite your undertakings that you would endeavor to keep things 'gentlemanly' and accept opposing views ,you did not hesitate to insult VP and I by declaring us both to be "on drugs".
This forum has zero hope of prosperity if you,especially in your role as Administrator, are going to issue such insults to those who challenge your views.
