Good thing you notified us of your hiatus. Otherwise it might be hard to tell.

also by the way I just love you image of the bear in your profile with his hands folded. Thats an awesome shot.


Thanks! I've actually had more fun on DPC so far during my break - I'm viewing more photos, looking at the challenges harder, I've added a few new faves... and I'm still posting to three or four watched threads, so no major withdrawal! ;)

I'd definitely take block individual user, though I have to say no one user was responsible for this. It's the whole contingent of users who I already called by name in another thread, and don't really want to here - I don't feel I'm missing much so far! :)

Don't worry mav, I'll continue to harass you via email. :-) Oh crap...you could just block my email though. lol

Hey, and if they get 'block user' I'll definitely let ya know that, too! ;-)

Wave - I AM here for the .. no no..photography. That IT.

Stare - I've tried...sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. I'm drawn to that stuff like it's a powerful magnet and I'm just an iron filing.

Art - hiatus is a jerk sometimes too...but I'll go put up with him. lol

Canadian - yeah sometimes I don't mind, sometimes I even enjoy a good tussle and sometimes it's just ... too much.

Sky, Loz & Rebel - I know someone cares, but yeah I just need the break.

I did come back to this thread cuz it's in my profile still. lol Thanks everyone for the replies and the nice PMs I got... I'll probly check this one a bit for awhile but never know. :)

I think there are plenty that care but a break is always a good thing.

Under thread options, I see an "ignore" option. I've never used it, but isn't that the same as blocking it?

EDIT: Never mind...you said "forums", not threads. The only one I know you can block is the rant forum.

All those things I said about you I meant and if I didn't say them, then I sure was thinking em. 8~}

Well Mav, I asked hiatus, and he doesn't care either. ;-)

Ignore, enjoy, make fun.
01/21/2006 11:58:10 PM · #17
Probably a good move, Mav. More mature than many around here. Shoot some great photos, but know that at least a few of us will miss havin' you around. :D
01/21/2006 11:58:08 PM · #18
I'm with you Caleb, I just stay away from those ugly threads. They are boring anyway.
When I get fed up I remember there are enough good kewl peeps here to make it worth while :)
01/21/2006 11:49:44 PM · #19
You should just learn to ignore it like me!!!

:P

It's much more fun when...well you only have fun. I don't like delving into the whole politics of this place, I think it's all really silly.
01/21/2006 11:42:41 PM · #20
I thought you were here for the girls?!?!

Oh well, have fun on vacation. :P

Mini-"protest" against the way people are behaving lately, ALL around.

I don't want to offend anyone by either not responding or not having a clue what they are talking about but I am turning forums off for awhile. This is not I'm leaving. This is not I won't enter or comment or vote or whatever. This is - almost every day something "stirs the pot" in the forums and I can either spend the time clicking away or I can turn them off. Since I seem unable to just ignore it, I'm turning it off. The forums degenerate into something like a train wreck far too often.

For anyone interested in the technical details of such a feat, go to "My home" then "my preferences" and on the right side set "recent forum threads" to 0.

I will be posting to my watched threads including the Business of Photography 1 and 2 groups as well as other watched thread when time permits so no worries to my groups. I will not be doing further mentorship groups however until I turn forums back on.

Again, I know 99.9999% of you don't really care (and the other .0001 are happy!) but I figured I talk to enough of you on a semi-regular basis that I'd at least explain...for those out there saying "another protest against..." or "another he's leaving - just leave!" post ... sorry! I'm not trying to change anything, influence anyone, etc. I don't have an agenda here, I don't crave the attention of a leaving...

If we get block individual forums buttons between now and when I turn everything back on, someone PM me! :) I'm here for the photography...

til I get really bored (again),
