Deleted thread
Monday, April 7, 2003 by BoXXi | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have deleted the thread I started about positive comments as it was intimated to me (in e-mail) that it looks as though I was just trying to bring attention to my wallpaper. Why I would need to bring attention to an old image is beyond me, but, while I was just trying to bring an upbeat thread to the message board, it appears I am abusing my position as a moderator. So, in future, I won't bother.

Actually I did not suggest to delete the thread. I simply mentioned how it _could_ come across to someone else and left it to BoXXi to decide if what I thought mattered at all and what to do as a result.

Jafo: It's precisely because of those other threads that I decided to contact BoXXi. How can someone take anyone posting a similar thread to task (even if it's obvious that they are just posting for the purpose of self promotion) if they have an admin's thread to point to and shout hypocrite. Yes, everyone here knows BoXXi, his work is outstanding and he would never do it for his own gain but what about those who don't know BoXXi or his work?
As a side note, if there hadn't been a link to the skin in question in the post I probably would have passed it by. Nice comments on their own are one thing but nice comments and a link make it look like something else. (And to reiterate, no I don't suspect it for a second in this case)

pjp...people in the past have, and still will continue to find inventive ways to self promotion...beating one's own drum, as it were.....but of late there'd been quite a bit of insidious negativity floating around, perhaps due to a wider stress from the gulf conflict, dunno, but BoXXi's thread 'was' [past tense] a little ray of sunshine, which, as is the par, got trampled upon yet again.
Maybe it'd be a more squeaky-clean innocence of motive if Bryan had posted a list of positive comments to a third party's work, but then again he's allowed to be 'chuffed' about genuine responses to his own work in particular, and I just think it's sad that anyone would want to be so critical when it's clear what BoXXi's intention was in creating an upbeat thread...

Alright, I didn't take the time to read past the first four or five posts...
But it was obvious to me the point Boxxi was trying to make from word one.
Anyone else who thinks differently, well I won't say more on that.....
