Ok, I do understand that this is not the best place to do this, but I am not too secure to start a new thread, so I'll say it here, knowing that the people who should see it will.

 

I would like to sincerely apologise publically for my presence on the site since February. These times were not the best for me, and I can't recall posting here being actually happy and not stressed out. Naturally, I was introverted to the point of not noticing a human in anyone else but myself, and it's a good thing I've come to this realization at least now - better late than never. I am sorry for the feelings and reactions I have caused, because I was so depressed as not to feel other people, let alone feeling people from other sides of the screen.

 

I know it is difficult to seriously consider an apology from a tense user like this, but having realized this, I can't allow myself to keep it inside me. Sorry for passing so much stress.

 

Peace,

Ivan.

    
No apology required,your forum behaviour during the time you mention has been beyond reproach, as far as I can recall....any other "issues" are just part and parcel of a day at "the office".
 
Thank you, I hope things aren't as bad as I imagine. It's just whenever I read about a "collaborator annoying and offending the admin team", I can't help thinking about anyone else but myself. That's true though, we all have our bad days.
 
I can say with certainty that he meant me Ouch

Isn't the fact that you have to actually look for your thread after it was moved sufficient notification? Wink

I think it is arrogant and ignorant to just start threads in the Prog Lounge without even considering where the best place to start them...

certainly from collab's you can expect a possitive reaction, and in time it may make your work easier.
 
educate the masses and let them dance to the right beat.

It's a good service that the thread get's relocated instead of being deleted.

 

I don't know how often a thread get's relocated, but maybe if it's not much work the thread starter get's a PM notification of the moving of the thread?

 
would increase the service, and maybe help people to understand that they should think were there thread should be started in a positive way.

In most other forums misplaced threads are simply deleted.
