I enjoy most of my users, however there are some that irritate me:
- whiners! I really, really hate whiners
- users who think the forum is real life. I had a user banned recently for just three days and at 5 minutes after the 72 hours were up, he emailed my private email, my *husbands* email, and the site admin email asking why he still couldn't get on. (The Scheduled Task hadn't run yet.)
- users who come onto the forum and post a poll to change things. Sorry, if you want things differently, start your own forum!
Other things I dislike about being the site owner:
- server cr*p. I never realized I was gonna have to deal with servers so much. Our site grew pretty fast and we got put onto a dedicated server within 4 months and I was suddenly having to deal with it all myself. Ick!!!!
- being the only one who can fix things! No one else on Staff is interested in learning vbulletin.
- time, time, time! I never realized how much time it would take. And, even when I am not on the computer dealing with the site, it seems I am always thinking of a problem, or how to change things, or something related to the site or vbulletin.
Other than those things, I really enjoy running a site. I (and all those on Staff on my site) are happy to provide a site that so many users use and enjoy.
