Ouch that is seriously harsh. i am really offended and hurt.

And I really can't say much else because I need to stay polite. But just know, I am really hurt by your comments and others on here too.

I can't believe how rude you people can be.

Ok, you see people are not happy with the lack of updates.
You appologize for not giving any updates.

and then.....

Nope, still no updates.

My reply to this will be posted in the complaint forum...

Given the context (posted in the complaint forum, or you can just take the time to read this thread...) I believe my post was warrented... While I wish it were not the case, it is what it is... to quote your siggy... "Deal with it"

God Bless,

Ty

PS Whoever's responsibility it is ???, please review this thread over the last several pages... there are still many questions unanswered...???

Doesn't seem so, but like has been noted we have moods and petz and win a t-shirt contest!!

ROFL
I know! I mean why should be complain when we've been given toys and distractions to play with?! Forget all the problems! Its like a kid being told to sit down and shut up.

I mean god, we're not that dumb to be fooled by this mod people. Seriously. Its kinda insulting that moods, pets and a stupid t-shirt contest is going to quiet us down. I guess Lee has a mighty low opinion of us members.

I would like to know why we would have pets battling each other (dogfights?)

I don't agree with A4T about anything but even I have to agree with this part of her statement. That's really messed up. (I don't care about the magic part which is why I took that part out to show which part I actually agreed with)

AGREED. Thank you finally for someone saying this.

Ummm... Ty hasn't been rude, he's been truthful. If you have a job in the real world, and your "life" comes up and interferes to the point where you have no time to do your job anymore, you either leave temporarily and get a temp replacement, you leave permanently and someone else takes over, or you get fired, those are really the only three options, no company is going to keep you around "just to be nice".

I view CF like a business considering we're purchasing it as site supporters, or at least I am, so money is going in and for that money I expect a service.

The service however is ridiculously and fundamentally flawed on numerous levels for the last... half a year or more in the more severe sense, and frankly has never been the same since Erwin left (sorry LeeD, it's not a pot-shot, it's just the truth... the site may not have been perfect code-wise with Erwin, but we darn well had all the updates in the world as to what was happening)

Anyway, if the "employees" of this business (on a volunteer basis or not really makes no difference, if you volunteer at the animal hospital and leave the animals to starve I'm pretty sure you're gonna get let go) don't have time (or whatever other reason) to do the job... it's time for replacements.

I'm very sorry things in your life have come to pass with your job here on CF, but simply turn the job over to someone who DOES have the time at the very least, that is the responsible choice.

I for one fully support Ty's statement.

I have not been given any updates, the people I get the updates from are not online, so once i get updates I will post them.

Okay...

So you don't get updates on a regular schedule?

Can I suggest that you have the people responsible for giving you updates automatically do so once a week...

What I don't get is this task if done wisely should not take more than 10 minutes a week... a half hour if you're not good with computers...

I think it reasonable to expect at least that... again don't you?

Someone needs to be given the task of reviewing this thread or a similar one set up for the purpose of answering questions about features, especially as new ones come online... don't you think?

Well really it isn't a matter of complaining. This thread is here to post updates and since that is the case it needs to be followed through with.

An organization takes its cues from the leadership and to be perfectly frank the leadership of CF, specifically LeeD, does not communicate downward, at least not to the point where anyone below a blue A (99.9% of the membership) sees it. I have no idea how much communication is going on between LeeD and the advisers but it is apparent, at least to me, that there is a lack of communication with the general membership.

As for the poster who stated this is harsh and there are other things besides the internet, yes there are but that has nothing to do with anything. The purpose of this thread is for updates, it is not unreasonable to expect them on a regular basis.

Ty,

I think your comments here to Redstilletto are unkind, hurtful and disrespectful. There is no excuse for not accepting another person's apology. There is no excuse for not trying to understand that some times real life happens...even to those of us who volunteer.

And fyi... there hasn't been any updates to announce. You and I are members here. We do not own the place, we do not have the right to tell others how many times they should post updates or make announcements. This is something that is done because CF does care about us members. But there hasn't been any announcements and if there has been, someone else on staff have announced them. What I don't understand is why you are being unkind and hurtful to a person that you don't even know.

I have a hard time reading these comments that you have made here. I can't believe that you would be this unkind.

This position was created for the sole purpose of informing the members, right? It's not "harsh" or "rude" to then expect that duty to be fulfilled. If real life situations are keeping you offline too much to handle this position, then the next logical step would be for someone else to take on the duty, right?

What's rude about pointing that out? Do we live in a world where, "Hell of a job, Brownie" is our gold standard for performance reviews?

You betcha there's more to life than this forum. That's why the stats are dropping like flies and people are flocking from the place. But when we ARE here, it would be just wonderful to feel like the people running the forums give enough of a hoot to do what they say they are going to do, which is fix the site MONTHS after the upgrade, and keep people INFORMED.

It's no statement on the quality of my real life that I just spent 90 seconds typing out this response. Do the job given you, or pass it on to someone who can.

You know what? I've seriously had enough of a few of you and your behaviors. The whole time you scream about CF management or CF in general being unkind and unChristian you act like this towards people. Take the plank out of your eyes.

We've had upper staff moving, dealing with family with health issues, dealing with their own health issues, and working continually anyway on getting petz and everything else. Could you possibly for one second think about people besides yourselves and wonder if there are things, bad things, going on in their lives and that possibly could contribute to slowness or whatever? What is the matter with you people? You should be ashamed of yourselves. Seriously.

I'm closing this. It's nauseating. Your behavior, and you know who you are, is disgusting. I'll PM some of you with some answers if I have them and we'll re-open this approximately whenever I feel like it. I look forward to the complaints and reports you'll make about this post.
