Sorry I left! - TalkNewJersey.net

Hi Steve and Chase...
I'm sorry I left, but I had to go because I couldn't take the abuse from Palito. It's sad to see this board go ghost because it started out as a good one. I noticed that bad thread that was closed with all of that crap in it. While I don't know you personally Steve...I found you to be quite fair while I was here. I went to you with my concerns and you tried to help my situation, but some people you just can stop from being so evil.

Also, I used to run a successful bridal message board and I had to give it up because the community had gotten out of hand and I just got tired of the different personalities. I regret that I did that because hey, I was the owner and what I had said should have always gone. If you have to reverse decisions that a moderator or a staff member has done so be it because you OWN the place and if they don't like it then they can STEP. Forum staff business should not be discussed with non-staffers and definitely shouldn't be put out in public...real dirty.

Anyway, again I'm sorry but I couldn't take the constant abuse and yes, it was very bad. Moving on in other news...

I started concentrating on my health...I lost 50lbs and I weight and cardio train at home on a consistent basis. I'm also a moderator now over at WebMD and I spend a lot of time on SparkPeople. I also have a personal fitness blog where I make some cash from hits and I really enjoy it more than running a message board A LOT. I'm also a certified fitness trainer now and I've gotten my business off the ground...still a lot of work to do, but the help and love from my family I know I'll succeed.

That's all for now.

Glad your doing great and congrats on the loss of weight. Im trying to lose about 20 pounds myself. Just dont know how.

But as for Palito. Hes not allowed back here. He was a problem and I really didnt see it fast enough. Hes banned now and i hope you come back. Ill be running this place since Chase has changed his mind about taking it back. Hes really busy and i know the feeling. But i like this forum and i want to see it get better.

Hi Moni, I'm sorry to hear that you had a forum and don't manage it anymore. I think managing a forum is a lot of work. So, you really have to be passionate about your topic. And yes, when you have a member that clashes with more than one person, it could deter others from joining.

I left because of the same member, but now I'm back? How can I help build up the membership?
