I got into trouble because i had a go at jedi and his abrupt way of going at people but actually i had a good read of his posts and i actually agree with his point and i kind of owe him an apology.

I am not going to name people but if it is a fact that code has been copied then jedi is very right to object and i agree so.

Alright cheers
Let's not go through any of that again ;)

There's no cape, and when you finally find a phone booth, it turns out there are laws against undressing in them. It's all very disappointing.

I guess it is down to how you undress ;) but seriously i think moderating should get tougher IN THE RIGHT AREA"S on here and from people with a long experiance of handling problems.

Hit it where it needs to be hit with the knowledge of and knowing in your heart you made the right decision for the right reasons. ;)

Abill, was that the long-imprisonment-ban, or there was another later one we were not aware of?

Careful what you wish for: irony is as big a b**** as karma.

And If I get ONE MORE "he hurt my feelings" post report I'm liable to quit.

Try another interpretation.

Re: COmmunity rant thread.
 
It seems TMO is "idle" at the moment awaiting the release of the N9 and i see many comments are anything but direction related to the future on here.

Some members are that bored they have relegated themselves to attacking other members and even quoting things like "he does not bother me at all" but still feels the need to attack... weird !.

Council is kinda quiet obviously awaiting news that will give some kind of guidence for the future of TMO and in the meanwhile we got pointless threads like "my eyes only" popping up, weird things are happening on here right now.

Maemo is sinking faster than we realise so it is going to be interesting to see just what will happen with the Maemo.org name.

Maemo for the N9? i don't think so somehow, maybe the cssu dev member, or is there more than one? i don't know but it sure has slowed lately.

There is so much noise on this board now it is becoming difficullt to find info.

There's been a noticable increase in posters not bothering to search before they post, invariably asking a question that has been replied to multiple times before.

This is bad enough but now they are also posting the same question in multiple threads that have nothing to do with what they are asking!!.

I've even been PM'd by someone asking me a question they've posted in this way

Where are the moderators?

If this has been posted before, I'm sorry :-)

Dont be sorry because this is a rant thread and your welcome to say anything you want !.

Maybe because most of the best have left this forum and moved on to other mobiles or another life ;).

But seriously i don't think many people realise that the POWER SEARCH top of the list on the right of this screen gives great results when your looking for something inparticular or an answer to a problem !... try it and see :D.

Re: COmmunity rant thread.
 
I really do think the time has now come to stop arguing among ourselves and start thinking seriously about the direction Maemo.org could take, otherwise it is going to be a case of shutdown completely and that means THIS community dont exsist no more !!!.

Think about this ok.

tswindell 2011-08-18 11:06

Re: COmmunity rant thread.
 
I think you need to broaden your scope to include all of maemo.org rather than just talk.maemo.org AKA Internet Tablet Talk. I'm somewhat confused why you think the community is strictly oriented around this forum.

tswindell 2011-08-18 12:57

Re: COmmunity rant thread.
 
The most important part of the community is the central extras repositories, without those N900 owners will be somewhat lost.

Don't really understand your comment sorry.

Maemo.org includes everything not just the talk section.

You seemed to only talk about "tmo" and "this forum". Rather than the whole "ecosystem".

disclaimer: if you don't get sarcasm stop reading this post now

hmmh.. a rant thread.. just what I was looking for

why hasn't the council and the rest of the community upgraded my n900's ram to at least 2gb, open sourced flash and moved my lawn? those need to happen now of I'll buy a case of motor oil and a pie. although I haven't decided what kind of pie. It's really a tough choice. Could someone make up my mind for me?

No need to answer. I'll stop wasting my time on these rant threads.

Re: COmmunity rant thread.
 
Sad very sad i have seen 3 threads now saying goodbye, this community is deminishing faster as the days go by.

Surely more devices can hold this together other than the N900 alone?.

gerbick 2011-08-26 13:51

Re: COmmunity rant thread.
 
Nope. The N900 didn't sell in high numbers, it's doubtful that the N9 will sell in high numbers.

Devices won't do a damn thing really. And neither will idle talk.

The developers are at meego.com, the customers are left in the dark here at TMO and sooner than later, the lights will go out on all things connected to TMO.

Find a new device to worship... my advice.

Something is not right on here today, no moderators and reggie came on amid spam threads and went off again without taking them out.

What is next? Maemo.org shutdown?.

I am reading of the aggresion on this forum and i can see a few who are responsible, if it was not for the N9 i think this community would have hardly anything to talk.
