I don't know Kylah - licking it might work too. LOLOLOLOLOL! I <3 you silly bean!

But, I do agree - we need to have the owners make an "executive decision" here.

I am sorry you're feeling stressed out & unappreciated, Kyro.

And maybe I am wrong, Kim, but I don't think Facebook will ever take the place of Glider Gossip. There are a lot of other sites out there, true, but this is the most popular, which is why I think it's best not to scare ppl away with so much crabbing and lunging.

I feel this could have been handled via PM and not as a thread.

After reading everything I think I can understand why there is concern (in an earlier response I either said or hinted that I didn't understand it). Thank you DB for clearing it up for me.

I will await Kazko's decision.

Again there isn't "so much crabbing and lunging". Statements like that are what blows things out of proportion. This is one thread with valid concerns. I don't care if I feel appreciated or not and this certainly does not add stress to my life. I know what I've contributed vs. what I have not. I don't need pats on the back. There is plenty being discussed privately, which is part of my issue. Lots have plenty to say in private. It's always been that way, but if a few say something publicly, they're causing trouble. I'm not sorry for it. Some things need to be said. If I didn't bite my tongue around here as much as I do, I'd be even less popular. I'm not here for popularity though, I AM and always have been here for the gliders. Don't you worry about that. If anyone would actually bother to take a look at my past threads, you'd know that. If you want to focus on this thread as an example of what I stand for here....well, GOOD! Maybe there's actually some validity behind it. I'm not here day in and day out contrary to what others think based on a stupid post count. It is called investment though. One day, those who actually stick around might appreciate what that is and how it feels. What I don't appreciate, is people assuming things are brought up without valid reason. So, for all those new members stumbling upon this somehow as their intro to GG, I assure you there are reasons behind it and I suggest hanging out in the "Sugar Glider" section where the info you need is and will be provided. Click on all the other threads created in the last month. This ONE is not indicative of the others.

You know, I wasn't being sarcastic when I gave you that hug. You mentioned all that was going on in your life in an earlier post in this very thread.

Look, I'll just stop trying to make you feel better or calm you down. In fact, I'll just go away, seeing how that will probably make you happiest.

Bye.

This isn't about me!

You know what? I'm done with this too. Congrats, Katie.

I didn't say that I think FB will take the place of GG. I said it could drive traffic away from GG with content that we want to archive long term for learning purposes. Know what I mean? There is no doubt that this can happen. And it does...and it has...and it will.

As far as scaring people off - I do have to agree with Kylah on this one. This is general chat and lots of "off glider" conversations happen here. A new person seeking out help should be in that section where the information they need pertinent to gliders is provided. Part of the reason why GG is so popular in the glider community is because we do allow people to speak their mind where other sites might not. If you look at continuous assessments of GG - people note that they enjoy their ability to speak more freely here than other sites. This thread is actually quite tame compared to debates I have seen here or on other forums. Truly. If this scares off new people - I sincerely fear they won't make it on any forum...or even through one solid debate on diet here.

For the thought that this should have been handled in PM - been there and done that. To Kylah's point - people will say all kinds of things in PM but won't back it up outside of those confines because they are not willing to tow the line or take the commentary and respond...standing their ground. We have handled plenty of things in PM in the past - and it always blew up publicly anyway. There have been situations handled in PM that were brought to light by "uninvolved" parties even when asked not to. And people got pissed that it wasn't handled publicly so that they could share their opinion too. When discussing the community and managing a whole new avenue - I think the opinions of the many are important. Just so happens that this one had more substance than it normally would.

Your welcome, - and again, I swear I am not trying to be a jerkface. And neither is Kylah. I think it just gets frustrating.

just got on here for the first time in like 2 days or something and this is a lot to read in the middle of the night lol. ill read it all later but thought i should at least say something right now. i have never ever ever ever disliked GG or said anything bad about GG. i LOVVEEE glider gossip and always will no matter what others may tell me how i should feel about it. yeah SGAA was made while that whole mess was going on. but it was something that i could spend my time doing that would take my mind off of things and get me through the depression. i apologize for any problems that were caused by posting SGAA on here it was not done with any bad thoughts in mind. im sorry if i did not answer your questions as well as they needed to be. im sorry a million times for anything and everything. but please ask me first about why i decided to do this or that before thinking i did it out of meanness.
SGAA already existed months and months before the banning happened(December 28, 2011). www.facebook.com/SuggieAA but it was changed from suggie to sugar. it was a combination of things and events from ourselves and our friends that were not even involved in the banning. i would be more then happy to talk more about it so just send me a pm.
im not angry with anyone, i have gotten over things months ago and have moved on. im also a much happier person these days,or at least i try to be, due to different things in my life.
so again im very very sorry for everything your angry about and hope things will get better from now. : ) maybe threads are not the right place to talk about all this and PMs would be better. im open to talk to anyone about any concerns or problems they have and hope by doing this we can work through it.

please do not read any negative emotions into this because i promise there was none while typing it.
