To Change or Not to Change?

"Sheesh, my drama meter is topped for today."

That's wonderful to hear, I would have been happy to see it was topped for the week So why did you follow that statement with your question and issue? Odd:confused:

This is going to stop right now. If you are going to be a member of this forum you are going to do so in a constructive manner. This forum is about childcare and it needs to stay on topic, be positive and constructive.

Your flavor may not be right for this forum. It either has to change now or you need to find a forum that better suits your style. Your choice, but ultimately my decision.

I'm going to assume you're talking to me, since I'm the one that's relatively new here. Is that the case?

Yes, specifically to you. Be mindful of what I said. I am sure you have good intentions but you are disrupting the mood within the forum. You need to adapt to it's tempo and not stir the pot. We need less drama.

No, you need some action and information and frankly a more updated platform because this **** is ancient. 95% of the posts here are people bitching about their jobs, and while there's a place for that, it's taking up the entire space.

I realize you don't give a **** about it and are just going to hang on til it's on it's last leg. It's just about there.

This decade isn't right for this forum.

You cannot even be serious with this bull****.

Um,you do realize you are talking to the owner of the daycare forum!!!
You may have a point but no one is going to listen to it with that language.
It's been nice talking to you but I see you getting banned pretty quickly,sorry to say!

Oh jeez. What drama did I miss?? I literally had just ignored her not more than 2 hours ago and so now I miss all of the action

Don't know if I should be posting right now, and not trying to offend anybody here.......

I feel the need to......Thank You Michael!!!!!

I'm here to learn, have respectful debates, and make friends, and feel blessed to have found this forum.

Uncomfortable, abrasive, critical, and confrontational debates from that person was just not ok.

To each his own and I think everyone is entitled to his/her own opinions but I looked back through threads and realized that I didn't really think she contributed much to the forum other than to share her opinions in an abrasive way or to give short brief answers. I simply ignored her so I couldn't see her posts. I'm glad I did even though she'll probably be banned.

I wanted to say something but didn't know what to say or if doing so would contribute to the drama but couldn't have said it better than the above. Thank you, Michael. I value this site, the people on it and the people who run it. It is decidedly NOT behind the times. It is a blessing to me and so many others who need a place to learn from one another, commiserate about our jobs (one of the hardest things about being a child care provider for me is not having an appropriate place to vent about every day job related annoyances since I have no co workers or other day care provider friends) , get constructive criticism, and just be connected. OH, and to say the site is on its last legs? Funny, since I see new members every day.

Wowza!

The disrespect makes me sad. Really sad.

In this day and age it should be pretty easy to figure out what it takes to pay for and maintain a site like this that we all get for FREE.

Have some respect and gratitude for this forum.

My number one prerogative is to maintain the database. This forum and server are almost 10 years old. In the past I have updated software and computers only to find none of it worked "together" anymore. If you have ever lost a hard drive or had a long written story disappear, you know what I mean.

There is a wealth of information within the database of this forum that is unique and to lose it would be a loss for the internet childcare community. So, let it look the way it wants to. What matters is the content all of you have contributed to others that make this space a better place for yourselves and the children that we care for.

Lets preserve it in the utmost constructive manner we can. It is free for you to use and I will stay as close to it and involved as I can. The mods can always contact me 24/7 and I can do just about anything from my mobile phone. Its my magic wand!
