!!! Threadstorm !!!

[TRANCOSO]

Something just crossed my mind & I think I should bring it up.

Somebody has started up an unusual amount of new threads in the past 24 hours. Now, I (we) think to know who The ExChanger is - Susan, one of the few persons who's Avatar is a picture of (most presumably) herself, who's been around for a long time & who's birthday it was during that period, which means she deserves a lot of attention & can do whatever she likes.

But suppose it was someone else, not someone new, but a 'Senior Member' (members), let's call this member 'The Troll', who, out of the blue, starts posting loads & loads of fresh content.

All these new threads have a certain 'quality', but do nonetheless, come from one single source, who's name is now all over the forum. Someone who visits it for the first time, might think that 'The Troll' ownes the forum. Actually it's a crossover between a Blog & a Forum. (A BlogForum. New word? Yes? Well, in that case it's mine & mine only!)

What I want to debate is:
Should there be a limit on the amount of new threads one person may start in a 24 hour time period?
Just to avoid somebody launches a 'Threadstorm'. (Another new word & also mine, but this one I'm willing to share!)

Well?

[THE eXchanger]

we were asked by Gareth, to restore, all the threads,
that had xxx's through them ~ and, we have added content
to all of them ~ almost all url's had to be relooked up
and, reposted ~ one at a time

we hope you do NOT think, we enjoy doing this ???

it was decided, that it was best to do it, during the 25th-26th-27th
and, it has to be done, by hand, one post at a time,
otherwise, you get lost, where you were !!!

we keep getting emails, why is this one missing/why is that one missing

we take total responsibility-for, why they are missing

and, we are retifying it

we even got e-mails from people who said,
some pretty unpleasant things ~ because they were missing,
esp; the researchers, so, we agreed to put them back up,
many threads, have been corrected, and, NOT rised to the top

[TRANCOSO]

Dear Susan, it's nothing personal & it has nothing to do with you.
You just triggered this thought of mine.
Shanti, darling!

By the way: post 333!
A magic number!

[THE eXchanger]

PROJECT xxx

APPEARS to be quite a success

as, almost every posting is getting very interesting comments

and, is helping some people, to see the missing stuff

(someone ~ was going to have to; do each, and, everyone by hand)

so-that someone, had to me

(gareth is away til jan 7/2010)

he will be glad to have it done,
as, it was frustrating people, seeing xxx's

[TRANCOSO]

What I want to debate is:
Should there be a limit on the amount of new threads one person may start in a 24 hour time period?
Just to avoid somebody launches a 'Threadstorm'.

What I want to debate is:
Should there be a limit on the amount of new threads one person may start in a 24 hour time period?
Just to avoid somebody - 'somebody' as in 'Not Susan The ExChanger' -
launches a 'Threadstorm'. (Another new word & also mine, but this one I'm willing to share!)

Well?

[Luminari]

LOL TRANCOSO, you should have seen what user Antaletriangle was like; "Carpet Bombing" with all respect to you Ant.

[BROOK]

If the thread has substance, then no, there should not be a limit. If someone is just posting to get threads out...well it seems it should have some value to the fourm. Otherwise it just waists bandwidth.

We rose a lot of thread, people had asked us,
why this/or that, was missing ~ so, we are just trying
to "fill back in" what was missing ~ many threads,
are corrected, but, NOT brought forward !!!

By the looks of things,
the amount of people coming here,
is going UP

and, many people, who were talked about
on some of the threads, have been sent
invites, to post here

so, THE MORE THE MERRIER,
there's lots of room, at the table
and, there is even TYME to LAUGH

Take a good look, at the new stat page
Gareth put up, on the front page of this forum

We are NOW, on the last page - of what needs to be updated

[Leunamros]

not that it should be a limit, but, what the heck, does susan have a life outside avalon?


it´s somewhat annoying to certain point, it´s nearly an spammer attitude. But... it´s nothing of my concern.


BTW, if she is talking about "we" instead of "i", keep your eyes open, there is somenthing wrong in there.

To hell with you dude - eX was one of the ones I missed the most when I left here a year ago. Now that I'm back, she is one of the few that makes me actually think.

She has a lot to say - leave her be.

Sure, sure... but seriously, what's up with using "we"?

i did not get a clear idea of what is happening from eXchangers post. Is a team of people restoring her old threads that were inappropriately deleted... or something?

[Anchor]

Keep it civil guys.

@TRANCOSO: There is no guideline on thread bumping for this forum. If someone wants to put the energy in then they can do that if they want to.

Susan had this project and it will be done and past.

If something else were to happen and the forum was being disrupted by a "storm" of blatant bumps with unconstructive posts then the moderators would ultimately take apropriate action at that time.

A..

We are restoring them, ourselves

(and, a hint, they taught you to utiliSe the common 'i'

to keep you all common, little, and, separated

- you are so much more than that

There are an assortment of pieces,

that put you back together again

after, all the threads are restored

and, BTW many of them, are NOT rising to the top

only the ones, that held significance

or, there were requests for them

where added it

it is important, that many of the threads,

that were crashed, and, struck through with xxx's

be restored ~ many researchers require them

and, PA/PC is well-read / and, a lot of the readers

DO NOT POST ~ They are in 'read mode' only

and, it frustrates them

AS, ANCHOR says, if the moderators
have trouble with them,
they will be addressed

We are here, to help !!!
NOT, to hinder the progress
We do NOT have some kind of hidden agenda

if you had any idea, of the # of hours
that went into the making of PA/PC
and, the success of this online forum

You might understand ~ why iT iS important

i am that i am - is very outdated

WHERE DID that old command, and, demand get you ???

i iS that i iS (at least has some riSing)

so, how about

we are that we are !!!

we are all a team
~ and, if we do assemble like a team,
guess what, if we DO THAT , WE DO NOT FALL !!!

it is important,
at the TYME,
to be the change,
that is what we want,
and, it is TYME,
to do, just that !!!

WE SUGGEST THiS,
play your own part eloquently
do everything you can do to create awareness
and, wake a lot of people up
and, if we do that
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PLANET of AWAKE & AWARE BEiNGS

THE MiLKiNG that has gone on for so long,
iT HAS TO STOP...
WE GOT THE POWER, not The iLLs

WE ARE ALL THE CREAM,
and, iT iS TYME for US to RiSE AGAIN !!!

THis is A ROUND
~ WHERE NO PART, is less / or more
than any other part

CHARLES F. HAANEL, always said

MUCH GATHERS MORE !!!

iT gathers more of everything

so, why fight them, eXpose them

the power is in your finger-tips

WE ARE ALL iN THiS TOGETHER

There is a lot of gathering to do,
and, quite a few very eXtraordinary people
have been invited, to join us here

WELCOME them, with open arms

Project Avalon, and, Project Camelot
was created for everyone to have a happy, and, safe place
whilst, we work together to discover 'THE TRUTH'

WE SAY, LETS DO iT !!!

[Myplanet2]

Well, thanks for the eXplanation on the "we". Glad it didn't turn out to be about royal lineage or something.

One other curiosity I do have is about how all those threads and posts came to have all those curious xxx in place of content in the first place. Does anybody know what happened to them? terrorists or something? I remember looking in one day, and noticing that every one of your posts was like that. Very upsetting.

[Starlah]

I am all for the "WE" Susan as long as it is not meant to "harvest" the personal human identity or personality.

[Pangaea]

Hi folks.

This may or may not be my place to say this (being only a new member), however I have been following Camelot since day one, and keeping an eye on Avalon since day one. I have also been researching this whole scene for a substantial amount of time before Camelot was even around, so please be assured I'm not posting this simply to rustle up negativity.

I was somewhat surprised to see this thread, as literally the previous evening I was discussing this very issue with someone, perhaps allot of people are feeling the same way or this was some personal bizzar coincidence that this thread happened start after the discussion.

Anyway, all that put aside, I do feel there is some merit to what TRANCOSO is fundamentally saying. I personally feel there is no point whatsoever in starting a new thread anymore because as soon as its posted its literally pushed back so far in the recent posts list, a very small amount of people (if any) will see it. Now I do relies a busy form is a busy forum, and if anything this is usually a good thing, however a significant number of this activity is somewhat irrelevant to what Avalon, I think, is all about. More specifically a person may post something one minute refresh their page then relies its been swallowed by new threads with questionable subject matter and content and thread bumping for no other good reason but to bump a thread.

I have also observed there seems to be an increasing culture amongst some people to get their "number of posts" as high as they can. I liken this somewhat to a social networking site like perhaps facebook, where allot of people add contacts for no other reason but to have a bigger contact list then the next person. A race pursues to keep up with other people so often folks resort to posting arbitrary things to get their post counter high. Couple this with the "ranking" system on Avalon, you can see how "some" folks might slip into a culture of what I am saying above.

So those are my own observations.

A small suggestion perhaps may be to have two "recent activity" links.. The first being a Todays Posts link, which will do what its doing now, tho a second link could be Todays new threads or Recent threads... this will be a link something similar to "todays posts" but not be effected by replies within threads, and yes perhaps it might be a thought to restrict the number of new threads someone can start in a 24/48 hour period, if anything may help people think a little more and post stuff a little more relevant and less arbitrary.


I see allot of reference to eXchanger here, and although she dose post allot, what she dose post is usually of good interest and is generally in context to events so I assure you eXchanger its not you or any other individual I'm talking about but rather a general culture, and everyone including me is susceptible to that culture. I admit I have started what seems in hindsight irrelevant to events threads.

In general Avalon is doing a great job, and I commend the admin,mods and users for making it what it is. One of the hardest if not impossible jobs in the world is keeping everyone happy in any given situation, this includes busy Internet forums, all one can hope to achieve is a balance so to the admin/mods in particular your doing a great job. And to the other members senior, regular or whatever thank you for being on the front line in keeping the forum vibrant and active.. you guys ARE the forum after all.

But all said and done, lets not get intoxicated by this whole thing


Anyway that's it really, sorry if I have spoken out of place.

Best regards
Pan

i know you were not talking to me, but...
excuse me? HC's response is not conducive to
rational discussion or debate, it is inflammatory
***
don't we ALL have "a lot to say"? don't we ALL have a lot to learn?
***
eXchanger seems like a very strong woman - she has
eXplained her re-posting, the majority here seem to understand
***
but to be fair, it is more interesting to see varied and
unique authors... on the flipside, it does look odd
for a forum with 1000's of members to reflect one personality,
i.e., the majority of posts by one person
***
once again, i suffer the curse of being able to see both sides

[THE eXchanger]

95% of my posts are NOT even about 'us'
or, even what we do
~ they we posted to create awareness
and, eXpand the scope of this site

if TRUTH is what we want ~ LOVE is THE END RESULT

not the starting point ~ ask any 'real' researcher

TRUTH is - pretty ugly

OUR POSTs continually show-case,
a vast variety of other people
and, what they do
(at a cost, of NOT eXpanding our own business)
but, in helping others/and, being in full service to others.

We have likely put in 1 year of free work
to helping here ~ based on stand 40 hr, work week)
and, we do NOT get paid for that

We do it, because,
it is necessary in this world, to create awareness,
and, it gives us some value, knowing we are doing our part.

eXposing of TRUTH is NOT a cheap thing, NOR an easy thing to do.

This is a journey where you get 'golden credits' only !!!

We also, put up important events, that are occuring in this world
and, give comments, that help others.

Many that are solution oriented, giving good suggestions ~of what can be done.

The posts are mostly about 'others' and, a myriad, of things to make your minds get out of 'tick-and, tock'
and, get you into can/and, do !!!

PROJECT AVALON/and, PROJECT CAMELOT ~ and, all of us,
are here to work together to discove truth~
and, to get off our butts, get our butts, into gear
and, do something about it !!!

We noticed, that some said, we operate with a bunch of alias
that is NOT TRUE, NOR is it a TRUTH
yes we utilise the name
"muchgathersmore" on yahoo - since the late 80's
"white lotus star" it's our craft name
and, we utilised that on tsarion site too
and, our 'real' name is Susan

when we started here, we choose the name
The eXchanger
as, it seemed to eXpress what we hoped we would be able to do
YUP, we were the 8th member of this website...

for obvious reasons, like the rest of you here,
we do NOT put our our legal strawman name
however, we do NOT hide it !!!

we have utilised the same email address since the 80's
and, only one email address on yahoo
and, only one email address on hotmail
and, only one email address on gmail
and, lived at the same address for over 18 years
and, NEVER changed our telephoen number

We really do NOT need to hide from anyone,
and, we know, we are completely, and, totally protected.
We do NOT live in a scary world ~
and, we know the direction this world is/and, can head too

enough said, there is work to be done !!!

We have respect, for each and everyone of you
even if we know, that some of you, fail to see the importance in that,
this is your issue, NOT our issue.

We are NOT here, to win some sort of popularity contest,
and/or to gleam a fancy title for our user name
(like some of the rest of you have)
~ ironically, they seem to be suggested/and, voted on,
by the same group)
HERE YOU TABLE MINE, and, i'll TABLE YOURS
is, that how they work ???
actually, they are very silly, in the grand scheme of things

We also do NOT post eXclusively to our own threads
and, we do NOT go and steal things, from your threads,
to park on our own threads.

We do, and, always have, kept a lot of other threads moving to,
by posting information/and, comments to them too

we were divinely guided, to Bill and Kerrie's work around 2004
and, supported it, a long time before Project Avalon
was even started, albeit,
we were likely a very small contributor
from a monetary value, we did send little donations...
however, lots of little ones, can add up to a lot.

We have been a large supporter,
in giving much in the way of time,
and, assistence to many people on
1000's of email - helping them, almost eXclusively for free

and, we have directed, lots and lots of people to finding their way here

and, we have helped to get Bill and Kerrie,
and, a few other people, onto radio shows,
to help them.

There are only two people here,
who have ever paid me, for any services,
and, to them, if they care to speak,
my service, has been impeciable ...
and, we do 'good work'

(and, they paid me less/or eXactly $100)

so, we are NOT making my money off this site

we have run, established business(es) since 1975
when we graduated from high school

(and, NOW, some of my paying clients-are going to join us)

since i noticed, in the past few days,
some of them, have rolled into PA/PC
so, the number NOW, is likely larger than just two.

ENOUGH SAID - YES, we are, a powerful compleX person
who is here, believe it, or NOT
TO HELP

(and, anything, we ever made here,
off the sales of things ~ we did sent PA/PC a tithing)

There was a 'real' rough spot in part of our journey,
and, even then, we continued to give to an assortment of people,
who we believed, at the time, did good work
and, at the time, we could NOT afford to do it

we figured out - if we just gave,and, trusted completely
our life would be shifted
and, project camelot, among some other people,
- where tithed to,
And, in a matter of a few weeks,
divinely our own life, was altered, changed, and, morphed
into something, vastly better

TO THOSE who can ill afford to give
my comment is this,
THAT iS eXactly when you should give

of course, should, isn't an action

where 'shall' iS ~ a choice - to do it, or NOT to do it

we could / or, we can
we did, and, turned a would into a 'will'
and, as a result, things are going much better for us

REMEMBER, it is always a choice
ironically, the very thing, you see in another
that causes you to get ticked off,
is something, for you to eXamine, within yourself

WE ARE HERE, for one reason, and, one reason only ~ to help

Brightest Blessings of Energy, Light and Love to All

YOU ARE HERE, TO HARVEST your-selves

before someone harvests you to 4th/5th or 6th densities worlds !!!

MORE on that later, on our post

WE HAVE SAID, MORE THAN ENOUGH !!!

iF you have any idea,
how many tears, we have cried,
over some of the things, that have occurred here,
you likely might understand,
what real force, and, what real power
really is ~ when that occurs
you are humbled beyond belief,
when that occurs !!!

WE ARE MUCH MORE REAL,
as, a result of living through
the eXperiences here in PA/PC

WE ARE GRATEFUL
for having this eXperience !!!
if NOT, for all the eXchanges with all the other people,
none of it, would have been possible,
NOR, would it have been necessary !!!

if all we ever teach anyone,
is to move from
WOULD into WILL
COULD into CAN
SHOULD into SHALL
AND,
"Will it to be, so, it will be, and, so iT iS"

that iS all that matters !!!

iT seems many British people ~ get offended by the queen's 'we'

the way to invert their tables is to ~ use it back on them

use -- we are/we are/ we are - everywhere you go !!!

(that will send a real message a lot quicker)

than the old proper, and, subservient 'i'

[TRANCOSO]

Anyway that's it really, sorry if I have spoken out of place.

No need for 'sorry', Pangaea. It's a well written post.

Susan dear, stay on topic, please.

Which is: should there be a limit on the amount of new threads one person may start in a 24 hour time period?
Just to avoid somebody launches a 'Threadstorm'.
