Gleaning Rogues

[gordi]

As most of us know, there has been a migration here to the Rogue Nation, and for good reason. But let that not be the sole reason for the increase in numbers. The forum Rouge Nation Is all that other forums  should aspire to be, with a welcome that is genuine and a membership accustomed to everyday courtesy. Many of the newer members I have a shared past with on another forum that in it's day was a great spot to search through topics mysterious and thought provoking. Alien and domestic, all topics managed their way in. But then a struggle for power grew out of the forming ashes of a collapsing once great forum, clicks rose up, and a couple especially formidable moderators.. Politics became the curse that would spell its demise, and perhaps at this point it became irreversible. The escape came in earnest earlier this year with many members searching for an alternate forum, one with many of the qualities their former forum lacked.

In the end, I lost my membership there, but never looked back and now it's just a history lesson on what not to become. Yes the place had become toxic, vitriolic, and generally of bad character. But in the same breath there were some stand-up favorites of good humor. People who's hearts that had not become jaded and caustic, but instead kindness flowed from them, even under attack which was often. 

Rogues Forum has been a second chance at forum membership in which I feel the sky's the limit, and I see great things here. Opportunity to eclipse the rest, a place where a welcome is in earnest and genuine, a place where we can all 'Share Ideas' with out fear of rebuke. Where courtesy dictates that the matter presented could be introduced to audiences of all ages. Of course one need not fear tirades of venomous off color bursts. I anticipate every reward to Rogue Nation for forming a forum that might be enjoyed by everyone. We new members will ultimately be good or bad for Rogue Nation, and nesessity will likely weed out the influences detremental to all of what the forum aspires to be. But what remains will become Legendary. The Best of the Best.

Kiss-Ass!

What are you after eh?? EH??? LOL or.... What have you DONE????
It's the second floor toilets AGAIN isn't it???
Well, I can tell you now... @BIAD won't be happy about you borrowing his mop and bucket again!

In all seriousness - Thank You @PLOTUS, it has always been a great wee place, but we kind of kept it a secret in case they let too many folks like @"Bally002" in...

I'm really glad that you're enjoying it here, AND that you took the trouble to say so... Because for me, that is a serious endorsement that the team have been doing the right things in the correct way.

It kind of makes it worth all the effort that it took to get us here! (I'm looking at YOU @"guohua", @"Sol", and @"senona" and of course, the "dream team" supporting cast!!! LOL)

Cheers,
