Keep Avalon as it is warts and all poll

[greybeard]

No comments please just vote yes or no.

[greybeard]

The response so far has been good.
Now step up too the plate those who have not voted.
Nothing happens without action PM your friends and point out this pole which has diss-appeared from view
Saying yes does not mean you are against AV2 just that you wish this one to continue.
Keeping it very simple.
Regards
Chris

Thank for setting up this poll Chris. Grass roots action is needed right now.

50/8 in favour of keeping the original forum. Keep voting please.

Love

Kriya

PS I'd happily pay to keep it open.

I fear that TPTB will ignore the feelings of those they serve and go ahead with their plans

[swordsmith]

hey swanny, why fear the obvious? I got my invite, did you?

[greybeard]

Hi guys.
Yes its fait acompli but there are 1000s of member here and if they voted for current Avalon and refused to move yes this forum would close but AV2 would not get a great start,

Im just aware of options but if I never posted again it would be ok. Its all the same in a 100years so to speak.

Regards Chris

[swordsmith]

hi chris, well if people refuse to move but are sitting in a house with no amenities, I just dont get how that works .
Oh ok now I do, but do you honestly think people will not move over there when they can't see their names in print on a daily basis? ohhhh the ego my friend.
But you know what? I actually do think what has been done here has already made a difference to the next hundred years, maybe not the way intended but energy has been directed and spent, if the focus had been more honed, who knows what we could have achieved?

perhaps that is just my ego talking. cheers for what you are trying to do.

You are of course right its human nature to seek attention to seek approval and yes even disapprover's is better than not being noticed.

Av2 just has to be patient and most will move over for those reasons..
This place will be read only if it exists at all.

Just think its a shame to move from here when with just a lititle more thought the leaky roof could have been fixed.

All the same 100 years from now is an old Sots saying and its true in thst if you look at todays papers you will see much the same as a 100years back except that today its more sensationalized.

regards
Chris.

[swordsmith]

well there are other places to talk, it doesn't have to be an either/ or situation. Chocolate? vanilla? How about tutti frutti ? You might like it and its available in a place near you!
I firmly believe the next hundred years will be very different, I have known it in my scorpionic waters since the age of 14.
But yes, the last hundred years have been much of the same old same old, its been a long cycle.
Pluto in Capricorn my friend is going to queer the pitch of the hidden handers so it's all coming out, and its a looooong transit. Thank your lucky stars.

[Harper]

I cant vote, or veto or poll, my fingers wont do it !! So sorry

I do appreciate the kindness with which it was begun. But I think you missed the secret above. Look....

Swanny is the waskly wabbit.

Do you see? swanny has transcended his duality, and saw he is the one he has been chasing !! thank you so much

Hurrah !

[justpeter]

I would like to take part in the poll but I have a logical mind and the poll is, unfortunately, too illogical for me.

Would I like Avalon to stay? - Yes.

Warts and all? - No, I've already made suggestions as to how it could be improved.

May be it should be Just Peter as in justice.
I honestly dont mind the end result.
I just got fed up of people talking talking.
Thought I would lance the boil by simple yes or no.

I think its unfortunate that through a few "missbehavers" that the rest have to move.
The rules were sufficient.
The words "warts and all" were probably a simplification.
I did not mean continued blatant miss use of the forum.

Vote now

[Kulapops]

I have to get a post in ! I don't want to stick on 666 posts for very long thankyouverymuch !!

But No.. I cannot vote either. I agree with Harper... and Swanny... transcendence is the only way forward !

How can we vote for things to stay the way they are ? I know this is not really the core idea behind this poll, obviously it is meant to be forward looking and positive.

But think about the realities for a minute. Life is change. all the time, permament change. Look at my ying-yang ! (ooer missus)

"There it is!".. a visual graphic, just as if Peter Snow has come into help with his swingometer (sorry.. joke for uk) .

Think about it.. all this talk of nonsensical doom and gloom and things that may happen... for months and months and months and weeks and weeks... swine flu... earth quakes...PTB takeovers (ahem, maybe not a good example)...aliens buzzing fishing boats...

and then... finally...

SOMETHING HAPPENS

Whoo-hoo !

Jester's right.. something IS going on. I have no idea what, nor do I really mind... but finally this is not virtual land anymore. Something is actually happening and we are all being forced to think about ourselves and others in an immediate way that affects us.

This is not about FEMA coffins. It's about what are YOU going to next ?

So we NEED an Avalon 2.

We NEED a Mists of Avalon.

We NEED Avalon 1 to die... because life is death and it is life again.

If a seed never changed, where would we be?

This , my friends is life in action as far as I am aware.

The drama is incidental, the kindling if you will. But the choices.. they are real.

It's not passive living anymore, is it?

Underneath it all...Something wonderful is happening...

If some things are not fixed here in AV1 first, the baggage will be carried over to AV2 - no?

[Kulapops]

Well.. my take on that tacodog.. is that we are all carrying all of our baggage around with us all the time. As in...

"Wherever you go, there you are !"

So Av1, Av2, Mists... it's all the same place man... from your point of reference...

It's how I am in every second that is important, not the place I am in.

So yes, anyone who still has issues (that is, all of us) will still have those issues wherever they hang out next, unless they have found out what they are and are working on them.

The whole point of these extremes of duality is to bring our issues to our attention.

In reality, I imagine, the only true place (next step up) to go from here is offline but we all have our addictions, eh ? But then.. that's only from my point of reference...it may not be the right thing for the next person. We each have to figure out what our next step is.. or else it gets perscriptive.

But I'm working on it...

I say ...these are the growing pains of Avalon. Its hard to leave a good home that you have nurtured and took care of, for long time. That's what the poll is showing us.

Good Point K. We do all have issues, I wasn't thinking of everyone's issues here, tho. I was thinking more along the line of Jester's question: "who is steering the boat".
I agree, I should work on that offline thingy too But darn, I like this forum with all its variety of info, insights, news, etc.

Yep.. that's my weakness too. I genuinely want people to get along, and I genuinely want the world to be a better place.


The kicker to get your head around is that only is possible through self-discovery.. and no amount of telling someone else what their flaws are !

lololol...

The Avalons are full of great people. I'll choose to believe they are all great. Some I resonate more with than others, some make me laugh, some make me sigh. But as soon as I start judging anyone, I'm missing the point. It's about me... and it's about us... but it can never be about you (as in separate from me)

Because that does not seem to me currently to be how the world really is.

Of course people do other people wrong. But to stand or die for justice? What is that exactly?

I'd rather stand for love.

Sure, things need fixing, and if people need to make a stand of some sort or other, they should follow their hearts. My guess is the longer we stand left or right..them and us... the longer it will take untill differences are resolved and we get to find out what the next stage of evolution is.

But that is a wave coming. In the end, it may not matter what anyone believes. The wave will act through us. It already is. I'm pretty sure it's a wave of energy causing disonance throughout Avalon. This will soon be manifesting in the real world.

It's like a clock pulse in the ether that is steadily growing. All we can do is be aware of it.

[greybeard]

Who is steering the boat?
Why we are of course
or is it off-course.
Why worry.
We make plans and God laughs.
With love for all who vote or dont vote.

Think we are all going to AV2 regardless.
We just love the company least I do.

i voted no. if anyone is intersted. i quite fancy the idea of a change. its a s good as a rest as they say. new sofware and you can archive back to this info and start new threads based on same subjects, so nothing is changing as far as i can see anyway.

kerry has a forum to reflect her side of the coin and bill has one for his. if you like GFL fairies and thuban(whatever that is) go kerrys, if you like nazis, d.u.m.b.s and spaceships go to bills. is that not what his happening?

Ah well.
I stuck my head above the parapet so to speak TRANSCO.

No one sent me to the mist not that I expected it.

I will let my ego out to play with this statement.

So much hot air, so much blaming, so much victim mentality, completely unrecognized.
Still going on.
This forum is free, the other forums moved on from here are free.

Do we really appreciate what we have here enough to vote either way?
Would seem not.
We would rather it seems just make a noise about he wrongs and right of here versus AV2.

It is so sad.

But I dont mind.

My ego is back in its box.

Kindly disregard this letter.



Thanks to all who took the trouble to vote either way.

With Love
Chris
