  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) I'm talking about the general case. We've had several situations in the recent past when mail from admins was not received (and no bounce was returned) which led to difficulty, warnings not received, timeouts not properly started because they (...)

  Re: my “button pushing” opinion! ;)
 
(...) My miscounting was wrong, and I was wrong to say Larry did any abusive emailing. I respectfully request that (URL) post be cancelled, so that Larry no longer has to defend himself against false charges. (...) Not in my opinion.

  Re: Context: LUGNET is not a democracy
 
(...) I agree. I wish there were ways to prevent *my* posts from being highlight. Admin is the correct place ti discuss this stuff, not out there for people who don't care to see. Kevin (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Trust: was Re: LUGNET members association
 
(...) You told us you wanted us to wordsmith it and fix syntax and gramatical errors. When I first started proposing ideas that were not in the document, a member of LTT started arguing with me. In an attempt to look at each case, I applied *my* (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)  
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) We love you anyway :) (...) I would disagree with that though. Not to mention the server sends emails all the time - news-by-mail, auth emails, etc? (...) Ah, that's what I thrive on :) Perhaps one of the other admins knows? Can find out? (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) nm, I read further down the thread and found my answer. (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) Please forgive my lack of webknowledge. You KNOW I'm a WEBTARD!! We've been over it before ;) Lugnet, right now as I understand it, cannot handle items like automated emails and whatnot. I've had quite a few ideas for upgrading content stuff (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) I thought I was answering what you asked... And what hsould be done NOW? Since you are aware of the problem, just have one of the other admins mail Kevin if need be - since it doesn't matter which admin the official mail comes fron... (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: my “button pushing” opinion! ;)
 
(...) Yeah, a lot of people. But MOST people think that Larry is suitable to be an admin. And most importantly, Todd thinks Larry is an excellent choice to be an admin - as it is Todd's choice to empower an Admin or not. -Lenny (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)

  my “button pushing” opinion! ;)
 
(...) Larry, No. I'd start to worry when (arguably justified) personal attacks on a LUGNET admin are (URL) spotlighted> on LUGNET's homepage. For that to happen once is very unfortunate. For it to happen repeatedly… I'd be further concerned when (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) Not really, no. I agree that's the desired end state but that's not what the server does now, is it? I'm asking about what should be done NOW. (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) Um, huh? Why in the world would we NEED to do anything in PHP? And even if we did, what's the issue? But aside from that, if the Server Switch is step one, let's take it! (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Context: LUGNET is not a democracy
 
<snip> It just makes me sick that a post such as this is the top highlight. What do you think would run through a visiting 8-yearold's mind when they read this? (URL) -Duane (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)  
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) There are more issues that just switching to a new server. For example, Lugnet runs on perl, and many of these automatic-emails would need to be produced by php coding or what have you. Code that needs to be written. Server switch is step one. (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: LUGNET members association
 
Could you guys please start a new thread with all this feces? It seems this thread has fallen victim to name-calling and the other normal antics... Back on topic. Evey decently large community has a members' association. I bet a few of you who live (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) Why not? Why can't we switch to the new servers? AFAIK the domain issue has been resolved? (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails

Asking that HE change his email (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) I think this is the biggest issue here. The Admins have been trying to operate on a boat that is either malfunctioning or in the process of being fixed. There is all sorts of "you should do this or that" - they'd love to, but they can't RIGHT (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
