That was freaky!!

OFF TOPIC

I was reading some posts after I made one and the next thing you know, I wasn't logged in anymore!

I freaked, my pulse sped up, my heart did palps, and my palms got all sweaty because I thought for sure I had been banned!

I immediately went to the last post I had made fearing I was going to see banned under my name, but as you can see, I wasn't. Whew!

All this banned talk not only with Princess, but David twice? Really? And Jill? Must have me on pins and needles.

Either that, or it's evidence I'm addicted to the OT.

Hi, my name is Terra and I am an OTaholic.

Maybe that's why they're trying so hard to get rid of us. What kind of company wants a bunch of addicts hanging around the place?

Thanks

I don't think they're trying to get rid of us, no one was permanently banned.

And they like to have us around because we're sort of like butts filling the seats. You know, real live numbers, and we up the post count, not our own in the OT, but forum wise, over all.

They only want us to adhere to the rules is all. Their reputation is on the line...

  I think they care about the reputation of numbers, how many members they have on the world's largest marketing forum and the numbers they can get from that marketing, if you know what I mean. $$

I'm not as confident in that assumption as you are. From being unable to login to getting new message notifications when there are no new messages to the new post button not going to the first new posts...all that and other things make for some high strangeness around here.

  I suppose it could be like when a company buys out another, they let the original workers go because they don't adjust to change very well and start spreading negativity which can bring the whole morale of the place down.
  
  That makes sense.
  
  Well, except they let those they banned back for another go.

I was thinking maybe they were trying out some new features and it caused some other stuff to go awry and they've been chasing little broken things around trying to get it all straight.

And with that, I'm bidding you all good night. I'm getting tired now and have another Easter to do tomorrow afternoon with my other daughter and family.

I'll take the Princess part, but not the fairy part, lol!

My dad always called me Daddy's Princess, so being called a princess isn't a foreign thing to me.

Neither am I.

Think about it. Us old timers joined the forum for free. Many of us paid for access to the War Room, however that money went to Allen Says. Most of us have never given a cent to Freelancer, however we continue to eat up their bandwidth.

Just thinking out loud.

5 or 6, l usually spend half an hour to an hour posting.

Or l could go out to a nightclub in Melbourne scream at some attractive women, go and dance with some, since l have lost my voice, (and hearing) and avoid the f***head's, punching me outside, and dying from head injuries?

Sounds like a good way to spend Saturday Night.

Does that give us more room to push the rules, maybe, but from what l have heard only a little.

None of that means anything to an entity whose sole function is to make money for its shareholders.

  But would it look enticing for new members to pay to join if all older accounts were wiped out making it look like a complete newbie site?
  
  You must remember that the Warrior Forum had a stellar reputation as the biggest and best internet marketing forum with many successful entrepreneurs emerging from it.
  
  If you bump all of the older accounts off, then you're left with nothing but newbies and how are you going to entice new members to join for success when you are left with just that?

  Who spends that much time here? I pop in 2-3 times a day for a few minutes at a time, on average. It may look like I've been here longer if I post each time, but that doesn't mean a thing.

  Which would make sense if their preferred method is to get people to voluntarily leave.

  And strangeness is all I called it. It may be nothing more than that, but I've seen things that leave room for a little uncertainty.

  That's depends on what their end goals are, which isn't something we know.

Ha! We had the grandkiddies over and celebrated Easter a day early. They tuckered him out with all of the running around outside in the fresh air. It has been really cold and today got nice this afternoon. We all took advantage of it.

I obviously couldn't run around what with my condition. I could only watch. So I still have energy to expend.

After cleaning both before and after the grandkiddies' visit, he really must be exhausted. He tried to stay up and watch a movie with me, but bless his heart, he didn't make it. He's still sleeping on the new reclining leather sofa. Awww!

  And yet I was looked on as being kinda sort of odd for not knowing PB had been banned
  Sorry for taking the kids to Easter Egg hunt at School and then to Six Flags.
  
  I will make arrangements to be in OT on a Saturday afternoon from now on , I'm sure the kiddies and wife will understand lol
