Looking to raise the profile

Locked

I am looking at posting a review about TechRepublic on my web site and need some good article writers for a few comments to post on their behalf.

Now, before anyone wants to blame me of spamming, I’m not even going to type out my url in the post.

The comments can be a paragraph, or a full page, it matters not. I just want to display to the world that this is an excellent source for news and solutions.

Thank you in advance.

I am confused

Hi TechMail,
I am a little confused by your reply.
Could you please elaborate?

Regards
Marc

We get a lot of people come here

In reply to I am confused

spammers, trolls, contact farmers, nigerian scam merchants, weird types who choose aliases that look like other members and then post crap in their name.

Common denominator.
No profile, no contributions, recent member and misleading or default alias.

Our parents taught us not to talk to strangers.

Our parents taught us not to talk to strangers.

In reply to We get a lot of people come here

Oh I see. Well, I understand that part for sure, but to a point. You see, I can absolutely assure you I am 100 genuine. I have filled in my profile as much as I can at this stage.

Allow me to fill in the gaps, if I may?
It is true I have only been a member here a short time. Since I am sat at my computer most of the day, spending time updating my site getting ready for official opening May 1st, I’m not finding much time to sit in forums posting my thoughts all day. I am hoping to be here on this particular forum for an awful long time, eventually contributing useful articles. I may even upgrade my account.

I have found the newsletters really informative. I sit and read portions of them following my email haul every morning. I have learnt an awful lot in just a few days, in particular I like to follow Vista articles and look at certain tutorials. I’ve also acquired a few useful proggies like “CrossLoop” which I downloaded this morning.

My outlook is that if you get something from a service you like, its only right and proper to give something back. And since I am launching my new venture, I feel I can give something back. We are writing an article about useful forums such as JCXP, Paint.Net and PCLinuxOS and hopefully this one, which is why, since I have only been a member a short time, obviously I don’t know that much about its history or haven’t gotten to know many members as yet, I have asked for some input to help me with the feature.

I hope by now, you realize just how “genuine and serious” I am?

Regards

Marc

Never use the new letters

In reply to Our parents taught us not to talk to strangers.

Learn more from talking to peers here and not always about tech.
You don’t just get trusted here, you need to build a reputation, that means you need to contribute.

Join in the discussions, technical and or off topic.

Peers?

In reply to Never use the new letters

Do you wipe your back side like everyone else?

You talk like you are somebody. Have you forgotten your first time? Or maybe you never had one.

Think I might stick to forums where new members get a warm welcome, especially when they extend the hand of friendship.

I’ll just put your arrogance down to a bad experience.

Thats a good start. Lets do flames,

In reply to Peers?

Please do this for me.
Who are you?
I’m Mr Trustworthy.

Oh here’s my bank account.

Are you for real or what?

I’m arrogant because I’m a big headed egotistical f**k. 😀

Ask anyone.

Tony speaks rightly

In reply to Peers?

We are each other’s peers. We are equals. The word is intended to convey this belief.

If we want to insult you, we call you a “member”.

I’ll vouch for what Tony said

In reply to Peers?

He really is an [i]arrogant …. big headed egotistical f**k[/i]. Add to that a pompous jerk, who often times interjects a snide and condescending attitude in his messages, simply reinforcing the “pretentious” British stereotype, and that about sums him up.

I will say this, however. I wouldn’t give you anything without knowing more. There are a couple of people to whom I gave permission to copy something I wrote for their Web site and/or wrote something for it, but I’ve kinda’ known them for a while. Without having known you for a while, I wouldn’t do it either.

Cheers always nice

In reply to Peers?

to be validated by my peers.

😀

You set yourself apart from the riff-raff

In reply to Our parents taught us not to talk to strangers.

In that you are replying to what you are hearing. Good on you!

Do please understand that we get many in here who think that we live to do their homework. We have a peer who posted an outrageous reply to someone wanting hacker advice and received many emails from hackers providing all kinds of personal information in order to get his “assistance” (This peer would NEVER aid a hacker or hacking effort).

My sense is that you are honest. Just my opinion.

Honest?

In reply to You set yourself apart from the riff-raff

I apologize to anyone reading this if you think I came here with the attitude of I’m all that. I don’t believe for a moment that I am, but I have always considered myself to speak my mind, no holds barred. And I don’t particularly like being pushed around by people who think they are better than others. I don’t like bullies, I’ve lived with them for a majority of my teen age life so I certainly won’t put up with them in my adult life.

That all out of the way for me at least. Tigger Two, you sound a little more open minded to new members. I don’t know where to go from here. Maybe I’ll try explain a little more. I do intend to post articles, however at this time I am constructing a web site. (I mentioned that already) One of my early articles is to be about forums, the type available, what one can expect from a forum, how to settle in, what experiences one might expect(ha ha there is a good one), sorry. What one can take away from them.

You’ll have to read between the lines here. I’ve been at it since 6.30am struggling to get a connection with Linux after a week of this pc being idle.

Anyway, back to my original post, if anyone would like to contribute to the article mentioned earlier, please do so.

That is if I am welcome back here again. I will leave with this.. I don’t judge people by past experiences. Its a bad habit that spreads.

Cya

on Linux…

In reply to Honest?

You’re not alone. Many here either are useing various ‘Nix’s or are contiplating a move. (up 😀 ) You might just fit right in here. :0
Anyway, remember, it’s not what you can get here, but what you can give….. (my 2? cents) -d

May make mention that

In reply to Honest?

it is not a hacker/cracker/warez site, but a site for IT pros to communicate, learn, and experiment.

I won’t write it up for you, but I give some basic suggestions.

The site has downloads, new articles, blogs, and user interaction including help pages (ask a question) and discussions(both technical and not).

Some are friendly, and some are not so friendly. Hackers need not apply here though.

Was this helpful?

Dawg

In reply to Honest?

It is not all 1 way, it goes both ways (keep steph and others from reading this).

TR is a give and take society, I have received a lot of useful information, and I have made many useful posts (I hope). I think that there are many others like me as well.

Too late dear

In reply to Honest?

And no one tryed to stop me either :p although it did take me a while to find it! But you know me I always find the DE’s I’m just suprised GG didnt comment first!!

I should have known

In reply to Honest?

but I had to try anyway 🙂

Now Steffi :x

In reply to Honest?

I like where your mind is, but I think I’m a little too old to be ‘going both ways’ my self. :0
Could be very interesting :p though :p -d

Thats OK Dawg

In reply to Honest?

He also said theres giving and taking involved so you can just go one way thats alright :p

Now, now. We don’t want to be giving anybody the right idea, do we?

In reply to Honest?

HA! Fooled ya, Steffi! You thought I would actually put some text in here, didn’t you!?

oh.

the1knight, meet Steffi28. Steff, t1k.

In reply to Honest?

Steffi occasionally climbs out of the TR gutter, spreading sunshine and Viagra. She’s one of the reasons this site isn’t recommended for innocents or virgins.

So Steffi

In reply to Honest?

If I am a givin, you are a takin, right?
Sounds like the start of a great relationship. I’ll probably want to give more than you take, so bring a friend or 2.
Oops, I need to cross back over into the light…

Steffi128, the meet

In reply to Honest?

Hi Steffi,

I understand you do Viagra?

Don’t need it though, ask my wife, she feeds me enough vitamins to keep me up all night. Working that is. On my website that is. If I’m allowed that is! lol

I think she meant that she is a viagra dealer!

In reply to Honest?

which means if not satisfied she forces her, Um, counterpart to take Viagra for continuance…

She is probably the reason for the warning messages on the Viagra box as well

w2k?????

In reply to Honest?

How come you know that there is a warning on the boxes of Viagra??

Hmm??

Enquiring minds want to know! 😉

GG

]:)

GG, he misread the label on the box.

In reply to Honest?

He thought it said “Niagra” and he wanted to see “the falls” instead of “the rises”.

Woah

In reply to Honest?

When did I say anything about viagra? This one was forced upon me!! :0 I am offended that people think I need to know what viagra is 😉

And I am also curious as to how you know theres a warning on the box :p

Oh and Dave, dont worry dear you will get the hang of the one day, its ok, but for now if you want lessons dear you know where I am 😉

Edited to add, nice to meet you the1knight, welcome to TR make yourself at home kick off your shoes and wait for the masseuse 😉 Just dont insult any females or we will make your life hell!! Oh and make sure you check out the friday yuk, you seem as tho you might enjoy it 😀

… hey, you guys……

In reply to Honest?

w2k was reading the instructions on the box – – – – that he lovingly bought for his wife…..

check THIS out!

http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,11000-2007100491,00.html

where’s mine?!

Do I get discount for bulk orders?!

😉

GG

moticon edit, again…..

the friday yuk Steffi?

In reply to Honest?

Is that a typo?
I’m intrigued nonetheless.

So you don’t do Viagra? What do you do? 😉

Drug Fueled Super Sex

In reply to Honest?

Interesting article GG. Hmmmm. ideas are coming to mind.

No. No. water is rising, must climb out of the gutter………

Friday Yuk

In reply to Honest?

Its were we let our hair down!! It is supposed to be one of the only places we let our hair down but I always do it all over the site :p

If you go to the forums, browse scroll down to off-topic you will see a section called Friday Yuk! the latest one should be the one on the top created by yours truly, and as for what I do if not viagra, well read the yuk you’ll soon find out :p

Ahh W2k

In reply to Honest?

You know you love it in the gutter really its the best part of TR their gutter 😉

Read the friday YUK steffi

In reply to Honest?

Will I need a tissue?

Now Now, thats an honest question as I have no idea as to what you are referring lmao

Errr

In reply to Honest?

Tissue, well as long as you mean a tissue to wipe your eyes from crying with laughter or wiping the screen because you have had a gigglefit, then you may need one. But, I should imagine you will be safe to read without a tissue lol!!

A men hater eh?

In reply to Honest?

ooo I’m looking forward to Friday now 😉

Nah, she isn’t. Mainly a specific man, I believe.

In reply to Honest?

Steffi is one of our sweeties here. She is Pure and good and …

OW!

Did Steffi borrow Mae’s new hammer Daveo??

In reply to Honest?

or did she sneak up and Palmetto you?

T1K…..

In reply to Honest?

I think you mean monitor wipes….. 😀

We have virtual ones here, that get passed around from person to person based on need – or screams for help! :p

Friday Yuk started years ago by the Guru Of Dos (known to some of us as GoD!) purely as a sound off and a proper end to the week. It’s a good laugh, and We (as in “the Impure Brigade”) tend to try and take over and make it as Impure and downright dirty and raunchy as possible – Hence Dave-O’s attempt to purify Stef! ;\

Hang around – it get’s really good here on a Friday!

(having said that, guys, I won’t be around, I’m on leave…. but, if I get sick of housework….! 😉 )

GG

gadgetgirl – From the disgusting filth I’ve seen in YUK?

In reply to Honest?

I’ll be here!

daveo- about GG

In reply to Honest?

You hold GG down, and I’ll run…

Oops

In reply to Honest?

Dave I really didnt mean to hit you that hard, sorry :p

T1K glad you like the yuk, looking forward to you contribution tommorrow 🙂

t1k — – – – — – – —

In reply to Honest?

just a few questions…..

[i] “You hold GG down, and I’ll run…” [/i]

o……..k. Dave-O is supposed to hold me down. Hold me down where? Am I meant to enjoy this? (Could be arranged! 😉 )

But nobody holds me down! I’m irrepressible! I’m unsinkable! (with my inbuilt floaters! ;\ ) I’m unstoppable! I’m irresistible! (well, in my own mind….. :p )

And you’ll run, will you? Where? From Preston to Geordieland? Really ?! You must be fitter than Tig! 😀

Ok, I admit I have Fridayitis on a Thursday, guys, but it IS my Friday, as I’m on leave tomorrow (woohoo! ]:) ) …….

GG

Edit: ‘moticonitis ‘gain

Did I say, “I’ll run?”

In reply to Honest?

Sorry, slip of the tongue. I meant, “I’ll have the runs.”

eewww what a smell.

Welcome aboard

In reply to Our parents taught us not to talk to strangers.

I hope you can understand and excuse some of the initial responses. Your first post set off some alarm bells: new member, no profile, first post, looking for personal information.

I think you can link to anything on this site from yours without problem from the Power That Be, as long as you attribute it to TR and you’re not doing it for profit. It’s a public site and no one who had written any articles here should have any expectation of privacy. Search the site for the topics you’re interested in and link to them.

The forums here are sorted in a number of technical categories, based on the tags selected when posting a new topic. These can be viewed from the Forums’ Browse tab. You can also view topics sorted into two general groups, Discussions and Questions, regardless of their tags.

Topics in Questions are almost always technical, and have a system so the question asker can mark the responses he regards as helpful. The “thumbs up” icons beside member’s names indicate how many helpful answers they’ve given. Use Questions when you’re looking for answers to a technical problem. Posting questions in Discussions is discouraged and results in a response to repost the question as a Question, not a Discussion. It’s considered poor form to venture too far off the topic in Questions.

Discussions are a mix of technical and the “off-topic” category. Unlike the “looking for an answer” orientation of Questions, Discussions posts include preferences, opinions, speculation, and all sorts of non-technical material. Posts that are off the original topic are par for the course. Non-technical discussions frequently include politics, the environment, religion, and other potentially offensive topics.

Some members only participate in Discussions, some only answer Questions, some in both, and some in neither. I recommend a new member lurk for a couple of weeks or months before posting for the first time, just to get a feel for the ambiance here.

Ambiance? ?:| We have Ambiance?

In reply to Welcome aboard

:0 I didn’t know that. 😉 -d

Sure we do.

In reply to Ambiance? ?:| We have Ambiance?

Kinda like Octoberfest without the beer, food, or charm. Just the drunks.

Or like a Chuck E. Cheese’s but without the games. (Note to non-US members – it’s a pizza chain with a lot of games that “award” tickets that can be redeemed for prizes rejected by cereal companies. The food is so bad, smart parents eat before they get there. Imagine DisneyWorld for fourth-world nations.)

Ambiance? I thought he said “Ambulance”

In reply to Ambiance? ?:| We have Ambiance?

I read that too fast. :0 I thought he was saying

“[i]I recommend a new member lurk for a couple of weeks or months before posting for the first time, just so you don’t get a ride on the ambulance here.[/i]”

You know, like if he runs afoul of Mae’s shovel or Max’s silver hammer. I mean, it would make sense seeing as how it was Palmetto that said it and he has been getting a few extra slaps lately. 🙂

Understanding, browsing and contributing

In reply to Welcome aboard

Yes of course I can understand initial responses Palmetto, but I won’t excuse bullying and / or ignorance. There are only 2 reasons I can attribute to bullying, based on my own personal experiences. Bad parenting or insecurity. I suppose I should take part of the blame for requesting opinions before making my presence felt in a constructive way.

I note however that following profile info and my picture, people have been a lot more welcoming. I thank all those concerned for that. It is my intention to be around a while to get the feeling of the place, which I might add is improving every visit.

I do feel that I have an awful lot to offer based on my own computing expertise, of which you have yet to discover. I whole heartedly look forward to getting involved with what I can only describe as a forum with so much wide ranging subjects.

Regards

Marc

Personally

In reply to Understanding, browsing and contributing

I dont pay too much attention to the profile area usually. If I see something suspicious, then I may look at it, but my own has never been filled out either.

I usually (when time permits) hang out in the questions/answers area, but recently have been moving into the discussions a bit more.

Many people just hang out reading on the site without actually posting anything, while others have an addiction to the site. I think that the more you make yourself known, the better the response that you will receive. At least, unless you post like a troll, or cracker. In those cases you will most likely be flamed or ignored completely.

I think you will find

In reply to Understanding, browsing and contributing

that many of the responses weren’t really bullying; but, instead were in-their-own-character responses without and newbie-gloves. You have seen a lot of just who hangs around here with no special treatment.

Oh and

In reply to Understanding, browsing and contributing

If you see a troll the rule is to feed him as much as you can and then give Palmetto a B!tch slap :p

reply to – special treatment. Daveo

In reply to Understanding, browsing and contributing

Oh I’m not flustered mate.

Looking back, I could have handled things better. Respect and all that jazzz..

B!tch slap

In reply to Understanding, browsing and contributing

If I were to tell my wife I had given someone a Bitch Slap, I think she would have questions for me.

I’m not gay, but I have kissed a boy who is.

Now before anyone jumps on that, it was a JOKE, ok?

Its OK

In reply to Understanding, browsing and contributing

Were always B!tch slapping Palmetto he’s used to it by now, whether your male or female, he is beginning to enjoy it dispite how much he protests!!

And as for people jumping on you, well I’m sure that can be bad right :p But seriously if anyone was to jump on that joke it would be to make further jokes thats the way we are here, surely your getting a feel for that by now?

feel for that

In reply to Understanding, browsing and contributing

I used to be on PalTalk an awful lot.

Is that enough said??

Errr

In reply to Understanding, browsing and contributing

Edited because i posted to the wrong place!

But I have no idea what your talking about, is it an old program? ask the others im only a baby, Col (Hal9000) decided to tell me im only 12 last week, but im older than that, just.

But she has them there for a good reason!

In reply to Understanding, browsing and contributing

:O

ok, a Welcome, and a sugestion….

In reply to Looking to raise the profile

First the Welcome, Hallo. Stick around a bit and get warmed up with us here. we’re really not that bad. Only a few of us bite. :^0 But as Techmail was saying, we have had a lot of new (as in just joined) members lately come in and start with some crazy talk. (some really bad stuff too) so expect some of us to be a bit defencive, if not a bit ‘gun shy’. Once you do get to be known here, and accepted as a constructive part of the community, you’ll be fine. (just as with anywhere else)
A tip though, if you, or once you have, your site up and running, (as many here already do) where people can see what it is you’re trying to do, you will probably see a difference.
again, Welcome. -d

dawgit

In reply to ok, a Welcome, and a sugestion….

I missed your post mate, sorry. And thanks for that. I’ll be around. I had no intention of high tailing out.

Tread Lightly

In reply to Looking to raise the profile

I suggest you stick around, pop into some threads and test the waters.

We’ve gotten a lot of bad juju around here with the newer members (lots of scammers and l33t haxors). So just hang out for a bit, throw your hat into the ring, and make sure your skin isn’t too thin…Some folks around here are a little cranky 😉

Thanks for the welcome

In reply to Tread Lightly

Thanks for that jmgarvin.
I hope I can be a valuable contributor in the future.

Hmmmmmm

In reply to Looking to raise the profile

You say that you “Owned a retail outlet for 2 years. Ran a world-wide PC club for 4 years.” where is the web site for that PC Club?

Is that really you in the picture?

Always willing to give the underdog the benefit of the doubt, welcome to TR and I hope to see your web site on May Day.

Thanks for joining.

PC Club Aid

In reply to Hmmmmmm

Hi Michael, I’ve been resisting displaying a url of any kind for obvious reasons. My former clubs web site does not exist anymore since closure in 2003 however if you google pc clubaid you will find 1 article left hosted at aha-soft under the alias of Oscar of PC Club Aid, that was me.
Then search PC TecZone, you will find an article where someone at AccringtonWeb Forum (my home town)questions my use of an alias.
That is about as much info on that subject as I am aware of, that still exists. That was my past life and I am now re-married.

Yes of course that is me in the photo, taken in the News Cafe Torviscas Tenerife last year. My wife was in the pic on our honeymoon. I can send you the full pic if you like?

My current venture is called Freewareontrial. But I’ll leave it with you to decipher the url because I’m not going to be blamed of spamming. Use the full title in your guess.
The site is in construction at the moment.

I hope I have now done enough to remove any doubt. 😉

Marc

If you’re worried about keeping stuffout of public view

In reply to PC Club Aid

There’s a function on here called peer mail. TR will forward a message to the email account we signed on with.

Reply to Tony

In reply to If you’re worried about keeping stuffout of public view

No I’m not worried Tony, about keeping anything out of public view. I guess I’ll learn more about TR when I have time to dig even deeper than merely browsing., which should only be a few days since our site structure is almost complete. Just a few tweeks left to do. I’ve already started on the reviews but they are much less time consuming once you get in to them.

But thanks for the tip.

I am a little curious Tony, not that I’m trying to re-start anything mind. It is merely something that I noticed just now. Your initial perception of me was that you thought I was a little thin on coming forward about myself. I have explained that I hadn’t gotten round to filling in my profile, a mistake on my part I admit. However, you declare in public view “up north GB?” I declare “Preston.” See my point? Like I said, I’m not trying to go anywhere with this, just a notation.

Please, let’s not fight again, I don’t have the time right now. Maybe later? 😉

I’m quite happy to forget the bad start.

In reply to Reply to Tony

One of the first things we advise new members of is not to put any direct contact details on here.

I’m skirting good sense by using my real name.

How much of your identity you make public on a site like this is a real hard one. We had a discussion thread about that not so long back, it’s amazing what comes back through something like google.

Just a thought

In reply to Reply to Tony

It’s my personal opinion that the reason that Tony puts “Up North, GB” is the fact that he’s from Yorkshire – and he’s working in Lancashire.

I think he’s just embarrassed… :8}

Not staying around

In reply to Just a thought

My wife and I are embarrassed just to be British, the state of this country. We aren’t hanging around much longer. We are joining the millions who have already moved to Spain.

Wow!

In reply to Not staying around

Would you care to elaborate a bit? This [i]stupid, self-centered, ignorant, war-mongering, planet-destroying[/i] American would like to know more.

Maxwell: Why not ask

In reply to Not staying around

those of us who choose [b]not[/b] to go to Spain to live why we [b]don’t[/b] go. Ask why those of us who want to remain in England say “well, go on then – and don’t come back whining when you’re old and sick” to those who do go.

Actually, they are obvious ones. Go ahead, ask knighty your questions as I’m interested myself in seeing if he fits one of the stereotypes.

Neil

Okay, Neil, consider the question asked. . . . .

In reply to Not staying around

Why do you stay and not leave.

However, I might suspect that your reason might be similar to mine. In my case, there’s a lot of things about the United States that I don’t like — the gradual infiltration of socialism, for example, or any number of other things. But this is my country, I’m a “native American” (since I was born here, I must be a native), and I’m not going to give it away without a fight; in fact, there’s no giving about it, they’ll have to take it (which they are doing). But I won’t run from a fight, flee from a challenge, or cower in defeat. Instead of running away from the problem (as I see it), I would rather meet it, challenge it, and defeat it.

With the exception of the particular details, I suspect you might feel the same way about Great Britain. Both out nations have experienced greatness, and great people don’t run away from their responsibility to keep it that way (people like you and me and William Wilberforce.)

Easy one really, Maxwell

In reply to Not staying around

I think you summed it up. It’s [b]my[/b] country. It’s where I was born. There’s an awful lot about it that I don’t like these days but I can’t possibly imagine liking anywhere as much. I sat on the North Downs yesterday for a couple of hours in the sunshine watching the world go by a few hundred feet below and I’ve been places sunnier, hotter, grander and every way more spectacular but nowhere thats suits me better.

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l243/neilb_uk/downs.jpg Took this one yesterday! Show me a better place to sit with a couple of cans of beer and a sandwich.

On the matter of feeling “ashamed” of my country, well, I do and you know the reason why but, if I [b]had[/b] to get out of the UK, then Spain are as guilty of participating in the Iraqi debacle as was the UK and at least we are trying to get out in good order. the last thing that I would do is join an insular ex-pat community in Spain and sit in the Mediterranean sunshine eating British food and whinge about the “old country” and contribute [b]nothing[/b] to putting it right.

Great picture, Neil

In reply to Not staying around

And I suppose we’re of the same mind-set. I’ve also got a couple of places to just sit and reflect, a couple close by, and a couple farther up into the mountains. I’ve often wondered where I’d go if I ever did move out of the USA, but Alaska is still part of the USA! No, I could never leave.

Neil..

In reply to Not staying around

I am completely jealous. What a beautiful picture. If I walked outside and took a picture right now, I could take a picture of the crazy cat guy’s house with the boarded up window. He just moved due to foreclosure and one of his cats (the one with no tail and one eye) has taken up residence under our porch, which likely explains why my porch smells like cat piss now. OR..I could walk a few blocks away and take a picture of the paper mill. Or perhaps the sewage treatment plant at the other end of town..the place that makes my office smell like wide open ass when it’s hot outside.

I can’t wait to get a new job..

“Cathouse”, Mae?

In reply to Not staying around

Oh, I thought you meant the other kind. Nearly got a Purity alert there!

Maybe you could bury that place with your new nuclear powered shovel?

So you gave up on the sledge hammer?

In reply to Not staying around

And got a newer shiny (nuclear powered) shovel. I am jealous now…

Shovels, sledge hammers, etc.

In reply to Not staying around

I really don’t require weapons of any sort. I just hate to brag..

Thats Right

Mae is NICE!!!

you got it wrong Tig

In reply to Not staying around

“Mae is nice DAMMIT!” X-(

Or as I told her earlier today, I saw a postcard that fit her perfectly. “I’m not mean, you just suck!”

Now I have to go back to the store, get that, and send it to her! 😀

Exactly

In reply to Not staying around

I AM nice, dammit!!

And I don’t really care about inflicting physical damage. Emotional damage hurts more and lasts longer..

tired of hiding now

In reply to Not staying around

maybe one of these years I will actually convince myself of it. But for now, I will repeat these 3 words several times a day to try to deceive myself of the truth, and fall to the submission attempts

These threads ramble on with everyone missing the point with fantasies of hammers and other weapons and then you just put them right:

“Emotional damage hurts more and lasts longer…”

😡

Why, thank you..

In reply to Not staying around

I’ve worked very hard to become who I am. 🙂

Although, and please don’t tell anyone, but the very FEW times I have intentionally hurt someone else, I have regretted it terribly. Even though they thoroughly deserved it, it made me feel bad.

On the other hand, as I traipse through life, I HAVE accidently trampled a feeling or two.

Memories fade but the scars still linger

In reply to Not staying around

Hey, Mae,

Was that “Tears for Fears” song co-written by you?

Dave

In reply to Not staying around

Yes. Yes it was. I gave up song writing. It just wasn’t NEARLY as fulfilling as working in IT for an automotive supplier. I had to make the change, I needed some glamour in my life.

Post th e URL

In reply to PC Club Aid

“I’ll leave it with you to decipher the url because I’m not going to be blamed of spamming.”

Post it. We’re pretty liberal around here on URLs and links. As long as your post is not exclusively about selling something for professional profit, you won’t get tagged as a spammer. If someone does click the “Report as spam” link, a TR staffer reviews the post. He or she has to agree it’s spam before it’s removed.

For Tony and Palmetto

In reply to Post th e URL

Hello Tony, fresh start then? Suits me.
Of course I understand the privacy issue and agree it is down to personal preference how much one posts about ones self. My particular preference (without posting my mobile number, heavens forbid!) is to be as open as I safely can. I don’t wish to appear illusive. That action once went against me. (See the accringtonweb post I referred to earlier)

For your benefit Palmetto, and since you asked, the url to my site is http://www.freewareontrial.com
I am always open to objective criticism and advice. Bear in mind it is due to be updated within the next few hours.

BTW, how does one get to their private messages? I have had a member pm me. I tried replying the email but it was returned. I’ve scouted around but can’t seem to find the area. Or isn’t there one?

Regards
Marc

Easiest way

In reply to For Tony and Palmetto

Is to click on the alias, that will take you to the people tab. Top right there is a link send a private message.

If you do PM someone you are giving them an address to contact you direct with. A lot of us tend to use a gash account say a hotmail one, to set up and then you can swap over without disrupting a more critical account, if you accidentally talk to someone disreputable.

PM is no real use to mass spammers, you may get the odd message from a nigerian offering you the chance to get rich though.
If you do, just feed it back to TR and they will kill the account that PM’d you.

You passed another test by enabling it on your account by the way, it’s something else the bad guys don’t do.

Nice layout on the site by the by way. None of my security add-ons even blinked at it.

Good to see someone else who can do a design that can work with out 45 add-ons and a big pile of client side execution.

I’m glad you like the site Tony. The previous design took some knocks, mainly looks. Which is one reason why I’ve held off what I am calling “Official launch” till May 1st.
Actually, I build a site to the degree how I like a site, without annoyances and also relatively simple. I’m using html, mainly because I don’t profess to be a professional designer and its all I’ve ever used. But I am about to start a php tutorial with a designer I came across recently.

Well, best get back to it. I’ve just updated so now I can concentrate on the reviews. Till next time. 🙂

Multiple posts

In reply to Duplicate post *ignore*

In nine of ten cases, when you get a “page not found” error, the fact is that TR really HAS posted your reply. I solve this by opening a new tab and checking the thread. Virtually every time I find that I have successfully posted. What I haven’t successfully done is find the “successful post” page.

When it happens, simply go to the duplicates and re-title them “duplicate post” and delete the text.

No one will tidy them, unfortunately. We have the staff trying to build us a spell checker and more emoticons for GG.

In reply to Duplicate post *ignore*

Well now I do know.

And please put that away, you are scaring me silly.

t1k, you’ve passed another milestone!

In reply to Duplicate post *ignore*

You seem to have had your first encounter with the legendary “TR was unable to display this page” error. It makes new members think their message didn’t get posted, when it actually did. You probably clicked Back and tried to post again (apparently twice).

Next time you get the error, click Back, then copy the text of your message. Check the topic again and you’ll usually find you message was posted. If it wasn’t you’ve got the message text in your buffer and can post it again.

Also, if you want to reply to a message on the sixth level, you’ve got to go back to the fifth and reply to it again. Since this can get confusing, it’s best to identify who you are responding to when you have to do this (as I did with this message).

You missed the “secret access” to the now-defunct “TR Insiders” page (load the page, click New Message, click Back, click Reload, put your left leg in, take your left leg out, put your left leg in, shake it all about).

Also, if you see members from Louisville, KY, they are often the TR staff. Somewhere there’s a definitive list of who they are and what they’re (ir)responsible for.

In reply to Duplicate post 2 *ignore*

Impressive! Stick around a while, and you’ll even high counts; I recently had single post posted 8 times.

I took a quick look – quick because it’s after 4 am, I stick in the office owing to a flat tire, waiting for the service garage to open, dead tired and with no good place to sleep – at you site, and noticed one thing that I find a bit disconcerting. The navigation menu on the left rail is in a rather narrow scrollable frame; I’d suggest widening it bit so as to eliminate the need for horizontal scrolling.

Welcome to the neighborhood :D

In reply to For Tony and Palmetto

I hope you don’t take it personally that some members are a bit skeptical of your intentions. We’ve really had a rash of trolls and spammers lately.

I like the concept of your website because even though you can easily download freeware, there really isn’t a good way to find out if its any good or what the problems are, except to give it a try. It would be a timesaver. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve downloaded freeware that is pure crap. I’ve found some gems too.

I wish you lots of luck with your venture. It looks like it could be a valuable service.

AV

FWOT intentions

In reply to Welcome to the neighborhood :D

Thanks for that Av, I do understand of course I do. I’ll try to be brief as it is now late here.
Since 2000 all I ever wanted to do was to have a software help site. My then wife screwed things up when she ended things and I lost 10 grand. But now I have a new chance. And the real beauty is, I can do it my way.
I have a passion I can’t kill for doing what I do. Yes its true I want to be paid for what I do. But I’m not into the idea of spamming to get there. I only ever get involved in things that I believe are good for the community and not to detriment of others.

Once again, I hope to be aroubnd for a long time. Many years if possible. But please understand if I go quiet for a few days at a time as the run up to May 1st approaches. I have a hand full of reviews to cover about products I have been testing for a couple of months. In fact, today I mailed the 1st one to my very first client whom I am hoping to sponsor me, although I will be surprised if he does once he reads the review.

Anyway, I’ll check in tomorrow. Glad you liked the site and thanks for the advice Tigger, I’ll try doing that tomorrow. 🙂

Better now you are no longer Support@

In reply to Looking to raise the profile

So Hi there!

One thing however, if you could put my mind at ease!

Your site looks to be a collection for adverts and pointers to free sites. Ok it is in early stages but it does look like a ‘pay, click & tracker’ site. People Click and you get paid.

Secondly you request people to enter their personal details yet do not display any means of contact on your site. Personally I would not post such information without some address / tel or even an e-mail address being shown first.

Why are your contact details so closely guarded?… when a quick WHOIS reveals your yahoo e-mail address and a house / business address??

SO – Are you “Looking to raise the profile” of TR or “Looking to raise the profile” of your own site?

If I am incorrect with any off the above or it is not the case – best off luck to you!

Maxwell, neilb@ and TechMail

In reply to Better now you are no longer Support@

Maxwell, why would I tell you anything about my intentions to someone so suspicious?
I have a saying. Have faith in those you are not in a position to judge.
The bible sort of backs me up on that with, “Let him who is without sin throw the first stone.

neilb@
A person is entitled to do what they feel is best for them. We feel the move would be better for us. Thats about all there is to it really!

Techmail, now this one I like.

Pay, click and transfer? What, where, ugh???? Wait till its finished boyo, then judge my site by its quantity.

You also said,
“Secondly you request people to enter their personal details yet do not display any means of contact on your site. Personally I would not post such information without some address / tel or even an e-mail address being shown first.”
I reply: “Check out my profile and you “should” see my mobile number, if not, 07999 542890. Close your mouth man. And regarding my address, you go first and then be prepared to eat your words. Particularly when I get around to updating our “about us” page.”

Then you said, “SO – Are you “Looking to raise the profile” of TR or “Looking to raise the profile” of your own site?”
I reply: “Let me ask you a question to reverse the situation. If you could do good for someone, and in turn shed a good light on youself, ie; show yourself to be genuine. Would you do it?”

You finished by saying: “If I am incorrect with any off the above or it is not the case – best off luck to you!”
I reply: “You are, it’s not, thank you.”

This is my aim, once I’ve made this clear, I don’t expect to have to defend myself again. I aim to run a software review site aimed at helping those who need pointing in the right direction. For that I seek an income, hopefully it will come from induviduals or organizations who are willing to pay to advertise their service or products. These advertisements will not include pop up advertising or any other kind of annoyance. Simple advertising. No click throughs etc. I also offer link backs via a links page to like minded people like myself who do good for others, and FREE advertising for any worthy cause, such as small development teams who do not charge for their wares or deserving charities. For instance, we are looking at sponsoring the Cats protection league. And the perhaps the RSPCA.

Now, can we please have an end to the focus on me? Tony and Myself have put our differences behind us. And in Tony’s defence, he doesn’t live a million from where I am. Like Tony, I can certainly give as good as I get. I have my own label. If you don’t like the answer I might give you, or won’t expect. Then don’t ask the question.

On rapping this up, you know I just had a thought. There is no such thing as bad publicity. I’m smiling now!

Have faith in those you are not in a position to judge?

In reply to Maxwell, neilb@ and TechMail

Except for a person as “suspicious” as me, for whom you apparently bend your own rule on occasion.

In reply to Have faith in those you are not in a position to judge?

There is a well known saying, I speak as I find.”
My rule is, “I treat as I find!”
When someone accuses another, without taking the time to get to know that person first? I have to ask myself why that someone would do that? Sometimes, I sit back and think about that for a while. And on occasion, if I feel that person is worth considering..”

“A person is entitled to do what they feel is best for them”

In reply to Maxwell, neilb@ and TechMail

I never said that you were not entitled to do whatever was best for you. However, you leapt upon my little Yorkshire/Lancashire joke at Tony’s expense and expressed in no ambiguous manner your “embarrassment” at “the state of the country” and, obviously from that, embarrassment at being British.

It’s [b]my[/b] country as well, I would like to point out. Yes, there’s a lot wrong but however will it get put right if people run away.

To all people who have your attitude, I have no other recourse than to say “Well, go and don’t come back”. I hope that you find the grass to be greener in some insular ex-pat community in one of the Costas – but I doubt it.

Neil 🙂

Politics, nah

In reply to “A person is entitled to do what they feel is best for them”

There are people in this world who have suffered far worse than myself. And yourself. More than anyone here in fact, of that I have no doubt. Now my next statement might be tempting at drawing in some controversy. Believe me (or not, matters not) that is not my intention. Indeed you and anyone here could say the following to me..

Sir, I have been places you have not been. I’ve seen things as a boy and man, that a boy should not see. I went to what some might consider, to be the darkest places that I never want to see again. I gave for my country. But when I ask of it? enough said.

After I have finished reading these posts tonight, I will get on with writing my reviews and contributing some more to getting my web site the way I want it. In between, I will continue browsing the forum and reading some interesting articles.
I don’t wish to spend the rest of my time defending myself for decisions I have made for my life. Lord knows, I would never suggest what you should do with your life.

Assumptions maketh those who assume.

And remember this, who am I to say that I am right? Who are you also….?

An over-inflated sense of your own importance

In reply to Politics, nah

To a light-hearted post of mine you reply, “My wife and I are embarrassed just to be British, the state of this country. We aren’t hanging around much longer. We are joining the millions who have already moved to Spain.”

Unless you are prepared to defend such a statement then you surely should not make it.

However, on consideration, I don’t wish you to defend your decision, I think I want you to go away – from Britain if not from TR.

“Assumptions maketh those who assume.” Pretentious bollocks.

Neil

By the way, the “millions” who’ve moved to Spain is actually closer to 700,000.

Defending my statement

In reply to An over-inflated sense of your own importance

When I was younger, I was what many might consider to be, a tearaway teenager. My parents where going away on holiday. At the last minute, due to a misunderstanding, I had to change my work/holiday arrangements to look after my younger brother. I couldn’t get my boss on the phone, and so in haste, the day before I was to return to work, I posted a letter through his office door. The next day I was given the sack. In retaliation and without much thought, I took the firms truck and left it parked in a ditch. For my punishment, I received 10 months in borstal.
What I have just told you is just one incident in my life of many you would not want to know about. I have been no angel for a portion of it that is true.

Ok I might feel a little bitter, but now let me give you a comparison.
An immigrant in the area I grew up in set his pitt bull terrier on a five year old girl, for which he received 100 hours community service. I ask the question then, what do I owe my country?

When I was 15, I was left, yet again when my parents went on holiday, to take care of my 83 year old Grand Mother. The paramedics woke me at 8 in the morning. They had found her lying in blood at the rear of her flat. A 14 year old paper boy had found her. I thank god that was way back in the early 80’s and that the lad was the decent sort. I dread to think what might have been if she had been found by a the type youth of today that might not be so genuine. I’m so glad really that my Gran doesn’t have to put up with the “not so decent” youth of today. And that’s not to say all youth are “not so decent”, but in my opinion, the majority I know aren’t “so decent”.

My personal thoughts regarding those like yourself who wish to stay is, “my god I commend you.”

Surely I am entitled to my own opinions and to do what is best for myself and my wife.

My take on people is based on my own experiences from places I have been. As yours surely are! When it comes to survival? We do what is best for oneself and our nearest and dearest and others come second.

With respect to yourself, I wish you the very best in your life, and I will do what is best for my life. I simply don’t believe that the best for my life is in this country. The fact that you do is your personal belief. I hope you are right. Truly, I do.

In reply to Case Rested

Hi TechMail,

No I doubt you are a player hater.

This is what I do, I review software. My wife has her income. I came to her with nothing and so I want my own income.

The difference is, there will be no pay per click or anything remotely like that. Anyone who wishes to advertise on my site, will do so on a flat fee basis or not at all. Yes there will be links to other sites, from reviews, link backs and the like. I’m not aiming to make millions, although that would be nice. 🙂 But I aim to earn a decent crust for an honest days work.

Anyway, next time you put a bet on a horse, or do the lottery, if indeed you do? Remember, I don’t. lol 😉

Good Luck

In reply to How is that different from what I described?

Well you answered the questions I had to ask and answered them well enough. The only reason I was probing is the ammount of sites with similar style to yours that have ended up as I described. Best of luck with the site!

Sites with sh*te

In reply to Good Luck

Yes there are a lot of sites with sh*te out there. I have been around on the www 20 years when the internet was more bulletin boards. Oh them where the days 🙂 I have seen the internet evolve.
I had no idea my site design would be mistaken in that way. But then, I did ask for input. I plan to take the site down for a week or so before May 1st to give me a little time to make some changes and tweaks, so I will bear your comments in mind.

In the mean time, I am always open to what people would like to see, so please don’t be afraid to put forward your ideas.

Because of the way that you are chasing Steffi around wanting [b]God Only Knows What[/b] you are probably safer claiming not to remember the 60’s as you are acting like a Flower Child. :p

Ever since you placed her on that Pedestal you haven’t been the same and you don’t even want to play chess anymore so what exactly did you see while you where looking up Steffi’s dress? More importantly what do you think you can get away with, with her? 🙁
