Its been fun but

[Ron]

I've been lurking/posting here for a
long time.
I've read a lot, thought much more about
certain posts, I think I've learned a
little.
I've decided there's no point posting
here.
Its the same old shitshow over and over.
The site needs a software update to
allow for private messaging and make
people accountable for the shit they
say.
The same anonymity that promotes free
discussion lets certain people (with
multiple user names Burbert/BTO/?) say
things that I can guarantee they
wouldn't say twice to our faces (well,
maybe if they had a smile when they said
it and a beer for me in hand).
I don't know where the balance lies and
I will leave it to you and Joe to figure
out.

I am gonna let my 3 year old niece re-
set my password for me.

SCREW THE CWB

You're doing exactly what Burbot is paid to try to get you to do. Pars

[ColevilleH2S]

What Parsley said X2.

[SASKFARMER3]

That's what the dark side wants. No way would
someone with lots of cash think like BTO. Since
this guy arrived the site does have problems.
Don't quit yet.

[parsley]

The better reason to not quit Ron, is because you a salt of the earth farmer; the kind that makes agriculture wealth creating, that gives it down to earth goodness and gives this site legitimacy. Pars

Dear Ron:

IT IS YOUR CHOICE.

You are even allowed to change your mind... no problem!

All the best... have a great crop in 2011!

[bluefargo]

Hope you'll reconsider Ron. You've got a good sense of humor and your posts are always sensible.
I've got to admit that I find Burbert, BTO, Numbnuts or whatever he's calling himself today to be a downer. If he starts a thread I don't read it. If he pops up on a thread I scroll over it. But he still clutters up the place and on a Blackberry it means a lot of unnecessary thumb action.
I'm going to take a little holiday from Agri-ville myself for a few weeks. I hope when I get back maybe he'll be gone.
Anyway Ron please reconsider!

[agstar77]

His choice, so what.

[bluefargo]

His choice - you bet!

So what? - I liked his humor and intelligence. Sometimes that's in short supply.

Agree, this site needs an update. NAT and combine forum have lots of ideas to borrow. We are waiting...

I've been following this site for awhile now. There certainly is a lot of different views and "characters"!

That is why I keep checking this place. A wide range of opinions on lots of different topics. Each post, whether you agree or not, gives you something to think about. Regardless of who it comes from. It will be a shame to see some of the regular contributors leave. Especially one as straight forward as Ron!

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the note...I hope you contribute on Agriville and help improve the quality of the discussion.

I feel uncomfortable kicking someone off of Agriville because they are grouchy...these guys have stopped swearing and don't break the rules...although they push the boundaries of good taste sometimes.

As far as the technology, we have this site stable and have improved the speed with some new servers...

I am afraid of switching to a new technology platform because in the past we have done that and lost 90% of the visitors because people hate learning how to use new online tools.

We can likely start integrating in some new functionality though.

Please feel free to contact me directly with other suggestions on Agriville and I will do what I can to improve the quality of the site experience.

Thanks for the feedback,

[stubblejumper]

This site is like Fox news it is entertainment

[TOM4CWB]

Stubble/GTO,

You guys are about as funny as an eight year old child with his tongue stuck to the open metal door of his school... when it is 48 below zero!
