> Now about the rest of the board. here again is my view: The board is titled "General Discussion" and yes if i feel inclined to make a post or reply i will. but to me a "General Discussion" is common talk not forced posting. and people should not be pressured into posting... if thre are to be pressured i think the messageboard would die quickly...and in this case i'm sorry to say it but it has.
> my last point is with you being picky about what is on the board. there are many different people that post here...not all of us are like you. especially not me... i'm spontanious and sarcastic...and enjoy playing a joke. i think you should take that fact(that poeple are different) into consideration when you tell us what you would like on your board.

Okay Dan, about the pictures. I understand your view, but the reason I like to announce the pictures is because we are all close friends and I felt like shearing them with you guys. I can't keep things like this to myself, and not only that but it's a while page I made and spent a lot of time and effort on, I just wanted my really good friends to see my vacation pictures and give me some feedback. Do you think you can check out the site and look at the pictures? You might like what you see. I just don't understand why you have a problem with me wanting to announce to everyone about seeing my pictures, and it kind of bothers me what you said about that. I know I like to see everyone's pictures when they get back from a vacation, and it's not just me because I know a lot of other people like that, too. Come on man, I'm just trying to share my great experiences with my great loving close friends here, I thought you would have seen that. You know we are all close, we're like family. For people that are close to each other I would think that they would be interested in seeing pictures of their good friends adventures, I didn't think some of my close friends wouldn't give a crap about my pictures. Now please don't take that phrase the wrong way, but the way you put it that's the way it made me feel. It made me feel like you don't care at all about my pictures or my hard work that I put into my page, I'm sorry but that thought kind of hurts me. Maybe that's not what you meant, but that's the way it looked like the way you put it.
About your view of the board. I'm not trying to force anyone to post, I really just want to keep people reminded that we can all meet here to keep in contact. I think this is a great way to do that and come together in a forum and discuss. It may seem like I'm forcing but I really don't want to do that, I'm just trying to remind. I just want to keep the idea in everyone's heads fresh what the purpose of this board is. With all of our busy lives we tend to forget things, that's why we have reminders. Now you think the board is dead, I saw it's only dead if we let it get that way. Now Dan, I'm sure you always have a lot of cool things to share with the group, it doesn't stop us when we are together in person. I would just like to say I think it would be cool if we could also do this on the board, I don't want to sound like I'm forcing it, though. I'm just giving you the idea. Say like you are at home and you think of something cool you would like to share but don't want to wait until next time we gather, you can just log onto this board and write all about it. Then when we get together in person we can talk about it some more, that has happened quite a few times already. I think it's so cool when something good happens here and we talk and laugh about the stuff that has happened here. I'm just trying to bring to our attention that it's dying and that I hate to see it die. I don't want to try to force anyone here. Understand?
About your last point about me being picky about what is on the board. Didn't you see what I wrote in my message where I was saying I'll try not to be picky anymore? Now, I don't know how you can go on about my being picky here when I already covered that in the original message. I told everyone I don't really care anymore what is posted, and I'll try not to be picky and just post.
Don't take my message the wrong way, I'm not upset here.
