disappointment.. ingratitude.. instead of a simple thanks. Unfortunatelly this is how the life works at all. Not just in forums. If you're young, get as power as you can to be able to continue your life without letting them touch (and hurt) you.

Hey! welcome back!

well at least we witnessed a 'emotional relapse' on an Admin :p

vB is not for the faint of heart!

You really have to have a thick skin. If your feelings are easily hurt then running a forum isn't for you (unless you want everyone and anyone to simple agree with you). Members won't always agree with your decisions leading to debates/ sometimes fights with petty bickering and arguing. Brush it off, grow a pair of cahootertoots (don't ask me what that word means).

Like josh said, unless you want a forum which goes your way all the time I suggest running a mommys pregnant related forum. Actually, I take that back, that could possibly kill any motivation you might have.

You could always take the advice that many people are giving you and just take a break while you gain back your sanity. Either that or subscribe to vbulletin boot camp for 6 months and come back to your forum that your members will ultimately fear.

Anyway, don't listen to josh he's just trying to put the heeby jeebies into you. Running a forum and how it runs is how you want it to be.

OK, not sure what you are trying to say about pregnant mommys?

This thread is sure depressing. I've put so much time into my forum and now thinking what if members turn on me. I have one moderator, and she seems to know more about forums than I do. I'd listen to whatever she'd want to do, and would probably make whatever changes she thought were needed.

I guess looking at it from their point, they've put so much time into a forum. I wonder what you did to upset them so?

I sure won't be making any big changes to the forum unless I cleared it with the members first. Sometimes, I forget or don't think of certain things.

In regards to the VB license, you should contact them and ask them what is going on. Tell them that you'll be starting another forum or selling the license you have, so they'll need to change if they don't plan on buying a license. Honestly, you really should not have let them copy all of the VB files over to their server without having them pay for the license.

Nevermind mind about the vbulletin licensed. I sold it to a member in here. All went well. I'm waiting for the rest of the payment from him.

Edited: Got it now. Thanks you Vitor :)

quitters exists in all spheres of society, once that you are a 'goner' just keep it on mind... maybe vB wasn't for you... no blame, but I least don't turn it on a 'vicious cycle' to leave when is not what you expected... :up:

p.s. farewell

Yes, my first experience buying a used vBulletin license, was very good!


Thank you so very much heeroyun!! :up:

When members believe they have the power, you need to stay calm and keep on with your plans, that never fails!!

Not that bad. I have a plan to create a new forum in the future. But not too soon it will happen since I will be busy for quiet awhile. I will use this great experience to ensure the new forum will run nicely. I will buy another licensed at that time. For now I need money for my falconry career.

. The communication was just for elitism who are not encourage new register. I tried to keep both the old members and new members feel comfortable but there was probably something wrong in their head. They keep saying that they're more than enough for a forum so we need no new member although I'd doubt their loyalty with my forum.

Cheer

:eek:

As a forum owner:

1. you try to be fair, modearte and helpful, always obliging .
2. you put tons of work in, at your own experience level, to give your users what you think they want

All too often you find as I have, that sometimes you are totally ignored by some members. I mean in a sly way, the kind where you quote them, and join in their conversations and yet they never reciprocate.

Its quite disheartening and a confidence killer

My theory is always make a decision 5 days after you thought you had made your mind up ;)
