    Default Constructive Criticism please

    So I'm coming to you all for some constructive criticism. As many of you know back in the beginning of August we had some big changes here with the site.

    For those that dont know, the Brewer Brother's sold me their shares and I partnered up with Sean W (Fastbird) as Co-owners of this wonderful site. And with the EXPERTISE of our other Admin (MEISSEN) I think the site has been operating as close to flawless as it ever has since I joined... I also took over the LTX facebook page and with the help of Miss Popo have been trying to make the activity on there to POP.

    I'm only asking for critisism on me and my connection with all that is LTX.... if the other guys want criticism, I'm sure they will chime it (but I wouldn't want anyone giving criticism to anyone who does not ask for it.

    Personally, I think that Fastbird and Meissen are the cats meow...lol... Couldnt ask for anything more from my Co-owner and Co-Admins...

    So I come to you all asking...How am I doing???.... Recently, Ive had some issues with one members, who have left and not come back.... Ive had people message me things like, "Welcome to the communist ltxtech of popo where opinions are shunned," simply because I deleted comments that were derogatory towards someone else in our community, or negative for no reason... I remember one person telling me that Im 2 defensive or on a power trip......I know JOKES have been made that my new nick name is LOCKTITE because I have locked a few threads that I didnt want to see get any uglier...I have even seen some complain in other places about me from when I tried squashing a thread that had taken a multi page ugly turn on here....

    Most of the time I have a pretty thick skin, but I figured, maybe its time to have everyone else s perspective.

    Not saying I'm perfect, or that these negative things aren't true... but I figured I would come to you all to tell me....

    How Am I Doing....?

    Whoever came up with that is a dick.....



    No but seriously, sometimes locking a thread up is the best thing to do if its ripping the community apart. There's always going to be some people that don't agree with that decision.

    I believe this is the best run forum I am on. And I also agree the leadership isn't easy and leaders often make decisions that everyone will not like or agree with.

    You are doing a great job Larry!

    I think you're doing fine.
    gotta remember there will always be that one person you piss off most than the other guy.

    cant please all of the people all of the time. If they have that attitude, let them go somewhere else and ruin that site. I unfortunatly didnt squash enough on my old site before it got out of hand and when I came down hard it killed the place cause by then the damage was done. Overall the this site is running well, no breakdowns, etc.. The stupid stuff is at a manageble minimum and for that matter all issues should be resolved via PM, email, or through mods/admin. That is why those things exist. Remember, this is the internetz where everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion, totally infallable, and 10 feet tall behind that keyboard and screen. Dont sweat it Larry, this by far is still the most civil forum I am on and has the best sense of cummunity i have seen. It is kind of refreshing.

    Your doing good

    If you weren't doing good, we wouldn't come back, but obvliously we do

    I like this forum because it's small, sites like LS1Tech are so huge that you don't know anyone. I rarely see any admins post over there, your on here everyday.

    I second that. The personal touch and involvement on here really sets this community apart. Don't change a thing you're doing, Larry, keep up the awesome work! As stated before, you can't please everyone all the time, but then again, who needs to please trolls?
