Last night, I added a joke style comment to the shout box on this subject. However, the subject is important to me and I would now like to address it as such.
Thank you, Tormentor for your time, efforts and resources that you have expended to create this place where we all can come together. Also, thank you for introducing us with the charming
Posy and her sister, the holy terror of the roadways,
Angela.
Also, I wish to thank everyone who frequent this site. Without all of you, this special place would be only Tormentor's unfulfilled dream. Or worse, if people with the wrong sort of personalities had become established here instead, then this place would have been Tormentor's nightmare. So, I would like to thank all of your for helping to make PosetteForever what it has become.
I would like to relate to you how I first found PosetteForever and something that first established in my mind the nature of this site.
I was looking through the articles at ab3p and ab3b when I saw the the comments posted in response to "
It will be a Disco Night !". The article of the actual picture had either already expired from the server or it never got there. So, I did not see the picture nor its description at that time. However, I did see quoted fragments in the responding articles. This same thing happen with a few other of Tormentor's pictures. From the little that I read in the quotations they sounded interesting, delightful and a bit quirky.
I like a little quirky mixed in with the serious.
Then a while latter, someone posted a quotation that included the URL for this site. So, I thought to stop by and look around, and maybe actually see the pictures that had intriged me.
While here the first time, I registered with the site. But there was a glitch in the processes and I didn't get the confirmation email and so I could not activate the account. I noticed in the news on the front page that there were some problems with the email processing at the time, so I waited. That was in the middle of November of last year. After waiting for a while for the email that didn't arrive, I contacted Tormentor by email explaining my siutation. I asked him if he could cause the confirmation email to be resent or could he delete the account so that I could try to register again. That was around the beginning of December, I sent the email late in the evening (my time zone), the next morning I had his reply waiting for me in which he informed me that he had just activated my account for me.
Should Tormentor's response to my problem be seen as unusual or wonderfully different than what one should expect? No, such help should be the normal state of affairs; however, in many places it is not the way things are handled.
I had a registeration problem at another site also. In that siutation, I created the account and activated it. During that process, too late to correct it, I discovered that I had mistyped my username. So my username there is a typographical error. I contacted the webmaster of that site and informed him of my situation and asked him if he could either change the username of the account to correct the spelling or delete the account so that I could recreate it. I sent the request by PM and then having no reply or other reaction I sent it again about a week latter, in case the original had been lost. I also sent the request by email. To this day, I have not seen a reply or other reaction to my request.
To me that provides a clear example of the difference between Tormentor and many other webmasters, it also shows the different in the nature of the sites as well. I feel that this is a special place, as such, I tend to invite only those who I feel could fit in around here. So far it appears that only two of them have stopped by and only one has begun to post a little here. To these new members I would like to say, go ahead and post, no one here will bite.
At leat some of you have encountered me on other sites besides PosetteForever. Yes, I have established accounts on a large number of sites. Of those that sites I have posted messages and/or pictures on only a few of them. In general I only post were I feel comfortable in doing so. Well as you can tell, I am very comfortable here.
Thank you everyone.
