Hi all. And by that i mean all 4 of you. :p
Very confused about everything., really so been thinking about
things the last few days. I thought Tennis Frontier was safe and
we were meant to be there forever but how quickly things change,
don't they? There's so much I want to say but unfortunately I am
just back from the eye doctor and she's given me eye drops, so
things are still blurry for me. Can barely read things let alone
type a post.
So in a nutshell, I really like Owen and his forum; however,
things felt really tight and controlled lately and while I agree
that every new forum needs to go through a lot experience before
they come to realize how it should uphold its reputation, I am
not sure if I have time for that. I need freedom from the get
go. I told him just last week in a PM that I was really getting
tired of being on new forums, because this also means having to
adjust all their new rules and their posters, who can be quite
judgmental btw and it does take a lot of time to overcome that
and establish yourself as a good and reliable poster. Also, this
is happening during USO and despite Andy's marvelous win at
Wimbledon, I had a nasty experience at T4U (as you all know) as
soon as I came back to the forum, so once again I've become
very unsure of things but more importantly, I so need to focus
on Andy during this time that I really and truly cannot go
through all this drama.
So I am still very confused and basically waiting for the USO to
be over so that I can finally decide as to what to do. Should I
stay or should I leave the forum thing all behind me.
I had it all very well said in my head really but I think that
^^ came out a bit scattered.

herc or Slasher, is it possible to have the left column (where
it has the Members, Stats, Users etc.) across the board at the
top of page? That way we don't have to scroll right and also, it
would look nice and neat. Isn't that the way other forums are?
Anyway, I am not sure if I should be demanding so much on my 2nd
post here. :p
herc, I got your PM last night but since I thought I was going
to be here today, so I'd reply here. As to the first one, I was
thinking about things and also wanted to see where things were
going as it all seemed quite unsettled. I believe you could have
handled the matter better but at the same time, I could also see
why you'd be so angry. There's no point making you and Javi the
mod and not give you any real power. that really and truly
defeats the purpose. Also, that meant they didn't trust you
enough. And the deal they offered later after all hooplas had
the freedom of much less moderation but it came at the expense
of the Castle taking a backseat and that didn't make any sense.
They could have left it at the front page and called it Frontier
Castle Chat or something. That way they could have maintained
their own brand and the Castle would have had its own identity.
The idea of a Castle is a very open and it needs all its freedom
to fully exercise its all possibilities but unfortunately, it
just wasn't there from the get go. I wish Owen could see that
and had a better conversation with both tented and Moxie. That
way I am sure we would have all had something that would have
made everyone happy. But alas, that probably wasn't meant to be.
I was personally very disturbed when Slasher's post re: a
poster's death at MTF got deleted. I was quoting his post at
that time to show my condolences, but I couldn't do it only to
realize a minute later that the original post was deleted right
away. That felt inhuman. How can you not allow the news of a
poster who had just died? There are some things in life where
the news should be spread right away so that we cal all show our
respect and this news was one of them. I found it as extreme
moderation almost cult like. However I don't feel at all either
Owen or tented are mean spirited people or anything; quite the
contrary in fact, but it just came out in dead wrong manner.
Yes, we have rules that we need to obey but we are also human
beings so we should know better as to how to use our discretion.
In any case, I don't have any bitter feelings towards anyone or
anything. I just later thought it was never meant to be and
sounded too good to be true from the start. We all still have a
lot to learn.

good to see you Emma.
at last we are at a place which belongs to us.
now nobody can tell us what to do or what to talk about and what
not to talk about.
baron and I get along fine. it's all his global mods who do not
care about us.
and his 2 partners were tugging at him constantly.
in the end he sided with tented and moxie.
they want total and complete control and they want run their
forum like church.
they even went so far as to remove me and javi from mod
positions at the castle.
we did absolutely nothing wrong at the castle. they fucked it up
with their constant meddling.
I guess they were insecure and scared of our success there.
not sure what the best course of action is right now.
at least we are safe here and we are the owners of Camelot.
now we don't have orders from anybody.
we have a little place to stay in touch anyway.
and we will ban any trolls permanently instantly.
I am out on the road right now. It is hard to post with I phone.
anyway Andy started out slow yesterday but got going eventually.

Baron and I are still friends lady emma.
we need to let some time pass. we could still work out some sort
of compromise.
he said I was welcome to post there.
general slasher or general August might be help with your
request.
I can't do much with a I phone.
anyway I will be home in 2-3 hours.
I will try to answer your post better when I get home.

No worries about replying if you are still on the road. You are
so much on the road sometimes I think of you as door to door
sales person. LOLz. I am teasing you!
But did you know? There was a time I really thought Swish was a
door to door vitamin sales person. lol. Nothing wrong with that
but I just found it really funny. He'd just post vitamin stuff
all the time so it had made me wonder about things. lol.
Good match, this Ferru vs Richie but I am pulling for Richie
without a doubt.
None of us are bad, herc be it you or I or tented or Owen etc.
It's just that the matter was handled in a very wrong way and
not in timely fashion either, unfortunately. All they needed to
do is just relax the rules a lot as we are all grown ups after
all minus Alex. lol. They could have still kept the rules they
have now and let the Castle flow. it was such a minor adjustment
and yet, it never got done the proper way. And you couldn't just
wait and be patient so I have a beef with you too, mind you.
Next time, I want you to speak to the Mod you are most friendly
with (in this case it was BB) if that ever happens again. So
that's something you really badly need to adjust. You are going
to promise that to all of us.

I have agree with you Emma.
it is a good learning experience for all of us.
it's all part of growing up and learning from our mistakes.
at least we tried. failure consists only in no longer trying.
there is a very old Chinese proverb: fall down 7 times, stand up
eight.
