I regret the day I gave the forum over to Od-in. I had several candidates and was leaning toward someone when Wolfgang persuaded me Od-in was the most capable and most reliable. In light of what has happened and things I know, I must conclude that I regret the day I gave it to Od-in.
It's too late, I know that now.
He knows I'm the genuine Roger Lacocco. I used the secret word 'mongoose' which I gave him before the changeover. I will IM him with a new secret word.

Roger, so do you want our forgiveness or our sympathy?  |

I was informed Od-in would grow and mature as a person, that giving him the responsibility of this forum would change him for the better. I see now that nothing has changed.

I was stupid. Send me $10, each of you. I think you should get the money from Wolfgang. If he dies and does leave his secret stash of embezzled money from his law firm's Insurance account, you can have that.  Though with our luck, he won't die anytime soon (he's a young man (30 next month, I think he said) and in good health, I assume, since he says he routinely takes his doggies to the beach (I assume he actually runs with his doggies and doesn't just plop himself down on the beach while his doggies frolick)) and even if he does, there won't be anything left in the account. ;D volleytalk.proboards35.com/index.cgi?board=chitchat&action=display&thread=1098900709 |

He does not need my approval or disapproval. He can run this forum anyway he sees fit. It's not my forum anymore but I can air my opinions publicly. I think tho that I will not visit this forum anymore. I know who he is and has seen him operate.
Again, I regret the day I gave the forum to Od-in.

Perhaps all that is needed is more time, Roger. Responsibility is a heavy burden to bear, especially if you come to the position unprepared for all that the position entails. How long has it been since you turned over that responsibility? Not very long as I recall. Perhaps all of our patience is needed to help the new administrator get accustomed to the responsibilities of his new position. Or, perhaps, knowing what you know and I don't, you're right and you CAN say presently that it was a wrong decision. |

Moving this subject out of "Women/Girls Volleyball is weird. I think someone doesn’t want criticism. I thought the board was for information, FUN, and friendship (and to correct those who do not believe that UCSB is #1). ;D And the posting of scores which I really enjoy reading. |

This whole drama is ridiculous since the it really boils down to 2 people (plus their ten billion board personalities).
It is amusing to watch both aforementioned parties try to keep up the useless charade. Anyone who has been around VT long enough knows who you are.

I have no idea if this is the real "Roger" or just some Wise Guy posing as Roger Lococco.
From what I know, the board has run pretty smoothly lately. No more problems than sometimes happened in pre Norse times here. In fact, the only really test thread in the last week was about prepvolleyball.
Whether it's is run by some Made Guy or by someone from Valhalla, I'm just an average person who would be afraid to cross either one.
In any case, I'm glad this board is working again.

Actually, Odin has made some nice changes to the board - especially the rankings lists at the top of the page.
From what I recall Roger didn't have any visible antagonists on the board similar to Wolfgang's and gooseberry's posts over the past few weeks.
Could Odin have handled those types of "attacks" on his character and handling of the board somewhat better?
Sure, and he would probably even admit this to be the case. That said, his actions weren't exactly unfair.
Even Roger said his some of his posts that the board is a dictatorship where the decisions he made were his and he would make decisions as he felt not necessarily based on popular opinion.

I agree with "especially the rankings lists at the top of the page" and other nice clean ups.
When you are the person running the show, that is where the crap will flow. [glow=red,2,300]Od[/color]IN[/b][/glow] is doing a good job overall, my complaint is that I enjoy some of the people he has suspended.
Even those that cheer for LBSU. ;D

Odin is innocent in the movement of this thread. I did it. If we'd not welcomed criticism/ feedback, I'd have deleted the thread all together... Keep posting everyone! |
