Enneline,Aha, yes! I am just so annoyed now. A moderator feels she is an object of harassment yet won't close the thread! What kind of moderator is that, huh? And STILL no apology for posting N number of times wrong information. That says something about the person too. Here is what I wonder about. How many of us will ignore the next post AmiAnne makes? Or will we see the same old course of events? Something's got to change, right? Do not feed the fox. IP: Logged |

 I don't want to insinuate that anyone here is insane. I want to say, we are trying to fix the problem, and threads like this are (or evolve into) attempts to fix it (the "insane asylum" atmosphere). IP: Logged |

FYI: The only person that can close threads on Astrology 2.0 is Randall bc he is the only Mod on this section of the forum and Randall has closed threads that Ami has started, he closed the thread that Faith started earlier today bc it had nothing to do with Astrology even though it was titled Chiron through the houses.^interesting my post is number 411.

Lalalinda can too! Forgot about that. This thread has long since passed the threshold of being related to it's original topic. It's interesting to see which threads get closed and which stay open. IP: Logged |

Why would you need to close it? ... Why not let it just float down to the bottom of the page, like so many other posts?  It's okay ... Don't Worry... Be Happy  IP: Logged |

I don't think Randall or Lalalinda are always in here, someone usually emails them and notifies them that a thread should close which at that point they will follow up once they get the email which if they are busy won't be right away. I personally just noticed this thread when I responded right now and the only reason why I went in it is bc it has 419 replies so I was "ohh oh what is going on in here?." Yes it should be closed if it has gone off topic. I will email Randall in case nobody has yet. Btw anybody can email him to report issues with a thread not just mods. I will also add that the power of mods is very limited, all we can do is close threads in the section we are assigned and move threads involving the section we are assigned.  IP: Logged |

Omg, I am screaming! Those posters did not hold back. Nice to see people who have zero investment in the activities on here echoing what's being said but, albeit, in a harsher way. Sincerely, Member of the Asylum ------------------ Check out My Astrology Blog: http://astroarena12.blogspot.com

I came across that Lip Stick Valley link a while ago, and it was interesting to read. Not because I hate Ami Anne, but because of her influence outside of the forums. Yeah, she has flaws that I think she refuses to work on, but I not going to hate her simply because of that. ------------------ Scorpio Ascendant Aquarius Sun in 4th Gemini Moon in 8th Check out my blog ya'll: www.electrodgxtalks.wordpress.com IP: Logged |

Then, should every thread that halts activity or explores side subjects be 'closed'? .... They would have to write a computer program that automatically shuts down a thread after a number of replies, or, after a few weeks? Do you realize HOW MANY threads there have been here at LL that meander, then, come back to topic? Or they start with a topic for one page, then go into some fascinating side discussions for 60 pages past that. (I'm thinking of the first thread I participated in when I started at LL.) That's the nature of LL... little treasures of side conversations tucked into pages of of a topic. So, this thread is like one of those... You gonna close down every single thread that goes 'off topic'? That's silly. IP: Logged |

Now I'm curious as to who they are. Lurkers, or posters? IP: Logged |

 I've been busy this weekend, but it's easy to get sucked into it. I left another site a month ago, when I couldn't take any more of the attitudes that were prevalent. IP: Logged |

The bottom line is if you still find this forum interesting - stay. It's sad and detrimental to the forum of course that some people feel LL is a 'family' of chosen ones. As soon as the argument starts they start talking about how 'it used to be' with nostalgia, giving each other hearts and angels ))) You have ti saee this Really, living in the past and not realising that LL is a Presently living community created for everyone and BY everyone, that if You and me and others leave and only the 'family' remains then you can close down this site.
Do you think this attitude is any better? I remember huge arguments "in the olden days" - these threads have nothing on them. But it's normal to miss people, and I won't apologize for missing some of the better times I've had here. I feel like an outcast half the time, I've stuck up for Ami over the years, and I don't hate her. I've also tried to point out where I think she could see another persons point of view. And maybe help to fix whatever is wrong there communication-wise. I also love the friends I've made in recent years. I'm off now. I had a great weekend. I hope others here managed that, too, or that your week ahead is better. IP: Logged |

Well personally I agree with you and don't think getting off topic is an issue! The threads I personally feel should get closed is when they are filled with drama and everything is going around in circles not getting resolved. I figured if someone pointed out the thread should be closed is bc that was the case. IP: Logged |
