After a few days away again, I've come back again to the duncan board gang and read through the different posts.

I just want to say - I don't like what I see is happening here....everybody, well not everybody - that's a gross exageration!!! seems to be back-biting and bad-mouthing and demonizing everyone else.

I used to love to come to this board and the buzz and vibes were all so positive and unconditional positive regard was always paramount....
Now, it's fcukin dog eat dog...on this board.....

I don't know, maybe it's just me....maybe I have changed in some way....but it sure ain't the "nice place" it used to be.

I won't name any names..........but "let's get our act together" or let's get out of here.

I agree with you Lady Alana 200% .....!

If my conspiracy head still working, it seems that someone on this board wanted to convince Duncan board staff that this board need an active (moderator) and such? getting multiple ID's and making stupid statements and at the same time same person defending the board against his another "stupid ID" and so on? "Insulter and the Defender are the same person" this is usual stuff for sick and bored minds..!

IT WASN?T LIKE THIS BEFORE WHEN "IP" WAS SHOWN..!! one could easily find the multiple ID's by jut following the IP numbers..!!

Sigh?.!

I've tried to telling this to all since couple of months ago, but nobody listened..! check my older posts? you will find it?!

Ah..

Do you remember in old time.. after your nick was you IP.. (your connection and your location)..like 255.255.255 and so on.?

Qbone as 255.255.255.22 was always Qbone.. if for some stupid reason Qbone become bonebone?.it was always shown his IP as 255.255.255.22 at the end of his nick "the unique ID of his main terminal "say home computer" and his connection type by his internet provider and so on?! So, "smart eyes" would find it fast that it is stupid Qbone jerking around..!

Unless Qbone using another terminal or computer with different IP and connection type..!!..

Even nerds and geeks would find its boring to continue to do so after a while..! It needs a psychopath to running around and performing such behaviour on this peaceful message board and crucifying its members with a "vulgar imagination" and language?..

That?s why many has left? and if this stupidity continues?. Many more get bored and moving out..!

Hello Alana,

I dont know if you know me that well, or recognize my ID. But I have followed some of your posts to my delight, you can sure write a descriptive phrase or two. I enjoyed reading them very much.

I have been comming here for a little over a year now. And you are not wrong in your observation about the decline in the moral conduct on the boards. It seems that we have seen the old gang as we call it I guess, dropping off like flies. First they seem to visit less and less until they finally just give up and dont return. I to have been back to the boards less and less it seems lately.

There are not many names I am familiar with anylonger, and it makes me very sad to know that just a few can destroy so much in such a short time. I have been silent and just followed the caos here as of late. But now I think I will go to Mr. Duncan and let him know what has happened to his happy little extended family. Or maybe to just bid him goodbye and move on. It just is not the same anymore, there's no quick witted folly and light hearted play any longer. This has become a somber and dismal place to come for the most part, so why stay when everyone is more interested in tearing one another apart just for fun. Thats not fun everyone, its just sick. I will have to go think about if I wish to return anylonger.

But I will be letting Mr. Duncan know why I am leaving if that is what I choose to do. So what do you think Alana, do you agree with me in so far as my take on the subject at hand? I feel like something has almost died here, and it has. Its the kind spirit and feel of this place through the friendships we nurtured for so long, and it just makes me sick inside.

I wish we could have it back, but fear it has been forever ruined.

Oh and hello again Aquariankisses,

You are one of the names that is somewhat new to me, but I enjoy your posts quite alot as well. I concider you one of the gang as to gain a seat on this list takes class and courtesy to others, and you have displayed both of theese and more.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be done to cease all the negative attacks aimed at other board members? It seems that something needs to be concidered before none of us want to return, and the Duncan Board is just a ghost town with no active souls left to talk with one another.

Le Sigh! What ever can we do? There must be an answer!

If anyone here wishes to see posts that are what this place used to be like, just read some entries from Sweet-p. Phoenix Rising, Freebird, Looneybird, Turtle, Allan, and yes Parallax, also Alana, just to name a few.

Check out the people who have come here for over a year and have a look at the comittment to friendship and get the feel of the place. Then follow their lead and perhaps we can resurect the boards once again. One can only hope!

Tw2, ty for your kind words. means alot comming from one of the "gang" . Nice to see you postin back on here. Yes I was seeing the old posts, and even from when I first joined as to how nice it was. I think the boards can come together once again, even if not commenting on the ones who are less of character that cause the fighting would make a difference,, just act like its not there and keep up the friendly side of things. I hope things do improve. I like the ppl here.

🙂

Hey TW2

Thanx for your thoughts.Some of us do try our best to put on some thought provoking massages and keep up the old spirit going. To throw in soem light moments I have myslef started a thread on Jokes/poetry/anecdotes on political,cancer, virgo & pisces boards.And it would be very heartening if we contribute towards knowledge and visit the boards other than astrology ones- more often. In our real life..astrology has its very limited place. How long can anyone go along basing their day to day living on "How to solve relationship problems based on astrology"? At the end of it ...the issues have to be taken care of on an one on one basis.

Right now I am preparing course material for students at associate & graduate levels. I am looking forward ot contribute on these boards whenever some thought stimulates my mind.

TW2 keep on visiting more often.

And AquarainKisses I was hoping some more matter out of you. I still remember exchnaging soem notes on parenting ... you think well. Keep posting.

Hey, thanks to everyone that responded to my post.....only getting time reply now......

Twin2flame....don't go....your one of the old gang....one of the best....let's stick around a litttle longer and see how we can raise the dead! up a few notches:-) If we are not happy in the the near future...then we can exit stage left!!!!....by all means tell Mr. Duncan how you are feeling if you wish now....but I think deep down Mr. D. already knows!!!!:-) - don't you Mr. D.

I don't want anybody really censored and everyone has their own unique style of posting, some are eternally light-hearted, some eternally serious, some brash, some straight to the point-ish, some so intelligent I can't sometimes always understand, some so logical, some dreamers and some lu-las!!!!.......we all deserve our air-time, we just got to respect and no need to use the crude, boorish words that have been used of late or get so personal.......and yes, we can talk about sex and our sex-lives - none love doing it so much more probably than me!!! but we got to keep it naughty but nice, if you get my drift:-)!!!

Anyway, enough of my pontificating on the subject -
Ciao to everyone here now - my best pals and the pals I have yet to meet:-)

Hey Looney! nice to see you again. of course we shared some good moments of parenting, I havent been posting as much,,been so busy -with the kids! lol Hows things going with you?
As for the rest of things, about time to see things starting to-or hopefully starting to come together. guess I will wait and see. and Thanks for starting this post. I think it was needed to bring the friendly atmosphere around again- well try to anyways. Also loonly I agree with the subject of the love life and astrology- there needs to be more than just relationship posts. hmm maybe I can help that area,,LMAO..ok,,well time for me to go. oh and if anyone takes any offense in what I said about relationships,no offense intended towards anyone 🙂 I enjoy most of the mosts regardless. and like to hear how things turn out- who knows take some advice for myself. AS always I wish the best for everyone.

also TW2, ur right, theres no reason to not show respect for each other, even with the different oppinions we all have, we are not all going to agree, we all are made with different veiws on life and if we had the same thoughts , wouldnt it be so BORING. But as it goes on to see we all have didferent tastes in life, or some that is close to another, but keep the caring-respectful-adult atsmophere- for we ARE adults. ok sometimes its good to break it and be a kids,,but other that that, you know what I mean. It is possible to debate not argue or disrespect another and still keep the posts friendly or not ill-mannered. OK, yep I had my morning coffee so I had to come back here and put my thoughts down, I got more of them after I woke up and had my coffee after I just post the other one,, I was like, OH CRAP. I got a mind today. LOL ok back to the business here. 🙂 again, if I displeased anyone, I wasnt tryin to. nothing I say is pointed to anyone in direct manner. I hope everyone here can start to enjoy this site more, and their weekend comming up-I am sure going to try, 🙂
