the private forum which may not be named - No Application Process?

If it's not covered by one of those other categories, you should probably talk about it here. Be nice.

Just the opinion of an outsider here, but this really is the silliest thread I've seen.

So a bunch of KGers want their own forum, so what? Let them do their thing. If you want to be part of some "in" crowd, start your own forum.

And no, I'm not a member over there. If I were to be invited, I would accept, but I'm not going to whine about it if I don't.

I wasn't whining that I'm not a part of it. I only heard about it today.

If you'll read my original post, my basic question was: "Why isn't there a way from the main page to apply to be on the board?"

I have interest in being on the board because several people on it are people I enjoy the company and conversation of.

If I say this again, will people actually understand it:

I admit that the way I phrased many things in my original post could be seen as divisive, but that was not my intent.

None of this would have happened if people had just simply addressed my questions instead of plunging the whole thread straight into drama country.

If you think someone is starting drama, don't keep it going by giving it back to them. Why not try and, you know, stop it?

retardation.
the secret's out. let's pack it up and go home. if one person -for example-whines to be let on a board, then everyone else will also. Then what good is that? Exclusivity is defeated.
I haven't signed up, don't know if i will.
But i still say "tough shit" if your not on a "special list."
I don't know much about this whole the private forum which may not be named business...who's putting it on, who orlok is, who decided who's cool enough to get in...BUT it DOES seem a way to me to get away from all the moderator bullshit.
It also seems a move to get away from all the KIDS:"i'd love to go on a killing spree but jail prohibits." (sorry, M.G.)

I say stay aloof and fucking exclusive.
If that means no brother balance...well too bad for me.

And if it's a bored..i mean board that shut's you down if you even slightly question our precious knoxville scene, i say screw it. But it doesn't look like that. So RIGHT ON.

.

So your older than me, You may have even gone to a club before lava, (dunno wasn't out before lava)But please refrain from jabbing one of the few people so far that haven't been invited but at the same time don't care enough to actually bitch about it. I know that it is a mute point to bitch at some one else for bitching and it is dumb, but when you are all alone in a house with alcohol and you don't feel like porn at the moment you tend to get creative and well, you know me. I tend to THINK like a psycho but as you also know I love life and most everyone, even big old bald guys like your self. Violence is not an outlet, it is a spectator sport. I just get tired of it being only on T.V.

If everyone would just talk to each other, and be honest (ahem NEMESIS ahem) rather than off-the-cuff insults or getting their dander all up, why not just talk it out nice and slow and make sure there are no personal attacks, no needless insults, etc.

Yeah.... that's a nice idea.... Perhaps you should try it...

If you're referring to my use of your name in the quoted area, I was referring to the fact that your response to every post I make is a derogatory "yawn" smiley or other such passive insult.

I would prefer it if you would use words and talk this out. I have asked repeatedly what your problem with me is, and you still haven't just come right out and say it. What's the frequency, Kenneth? I'm sure that if we talk out your grievances, you could simply dislike and therefore ignore me rather than feeling a pathological need to antagonize me at every turn.

Did I kill your dog or something? I'm quite sure I haven't had a blackout in years. :D

Look, Jack, I'll try to take care of your request to be told here, on the wrong place to do it, about getting in, because you did not mail me about it. You want it public, here it is:

1) The reason you were not selected as Primogen (1st generation for those of you who don't own a dictionary, etc.) is that you have started shit with a lot of the people who were invited. Of the original invite list, probably 1/2 have expressed an interest in an invitation only board in the past. The others, we thought would mix well. So, Jack, while I don't hate you, you tend to start, yes, "drama" for lack of a better word. So, there you go. I'm sure that you will respond to this but, as I'm now breaking my policy of not posting here anymore twice because of shit started concerning the private forum which may not be named, I will not answer any more questions or jabs here. Email me.

2)You started a thread that started more shit about our site on this site. I think that you have sufficiently annoyed, if not pissed off, a lot of our members. You may still be invited. I don't know. I'm not going to invite you. If I were going to, i would have made you Primogen. If you want to be invited, talk to one of our members about an invite.

3) There is a misconception about how someone might get in to the private forum which may not be named. The Primogen were sired by 0rlock. They can, in turn, sire new members. The members sired by Primogen can ALSO invite new memebers, but must have a Primogen second the nomination before it can go to vote. This does not mean that you have to KNOW a Primogen to get in. A primogen may just trust the judgement of a later generation who made the nomination, and may second it on that merit. Regardless, whoever gets nominated is then voted upon. If someone is not voted in, they may be nominated again, and there is no restriction upon the times that one may be nominated.

4) No, we aren't taking applications. It's invitation only. When I have my daughter's birthday party, I don't take applications for it. I send out invitations to people I want to come. Someone I invite may bring a guest. That's cool. They are, of course, responsible for that guest. This is sort of how the private forum which may not be named works.

5) Making a forum is cheap and easy. A monkey could do it (ibbie). So, you can get one of your own and accept who you want, or accept everyone, or accept no one and just sit there talking to yourself. It's just really fucking easy, Jack, et al. Really, I swear.

6) Jesus Cripes, don't you people have anything else to talk about? I mean, really. Sanctus is coming up. Talk about what you're going to wear or something. Or imported cheeses, that's a good topic. Or how about your favorite novels, or jees, anything. I mean, people! Is ANOTHER FORUM really going to dictate your lives? Pfft.

Ya, ya, I'm a bitch. I have a forum where I can be what I am and don't get censored by happy fun bears. I like it. Others seem to. A lot of you will be invited. Some won't. EDIT: personal attack removed. If you have any questions, mail me. I'm available. If you don't get a response right away, I'm going up north for a funeral this weekend, so just wait for it.

This is really it...I'm not posting anymore rebuttals here. Mail me, okay?

Once again someone I agree with, and she's even on *gasp* ANOTHER BOARD! *sarcasm*

AGAIN THIS IS GETTING OUTTA HAND :evil:

Look People the new board/forum/website is privately owned, they can do as the please as can any of you.
This is not the place or time for these discussions!

If you gotta rant take it to your blogs xanga or start your own forum... WHATEVER. Point is Knoxfurato or whatever its called exisits. and all the whining in the world here won't change that. I for one will not be putting up with bashing whining and complaining about it here. That is not what the KG forum is for.
Read the FAQ.
KG exisits to pull the community togeather, and help it grow. All this BS is doing the exact opposite.

Again thread is Locked...
and in case if any wonder, no I am not part of the new forum nor do I have a desire to be. I just want us all to move on and start acting like adults.
Thank you

Oh, and I'll add something here:

the private forum which may not be named.com is not owned or controlled in any way by the KGB. KnoxGothic.com had nothing to do with its creation, and has nothing to do with its management.

Any of you here have the option to do the same thing (create your own forum, that is). You don't even have to leave - we don't mind you being on more than one forum.

But, please understand that we have NO control over any forums other than KnoxGothic.com and KnoxFetish.com. We have no power to dictate their policies, we have no control of their membership, and we can't fix the problems you may have with their forums. (well, ok, I've given a bit of technical assistance to tristategothic.com, but that's all - I don't have editorial control there either.)

What I do have is the ability to say that there will be no personal attacks tolerated on KG.

So stop it.
We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.
