Really folks, it would look better for everyone if we stuck to hating Dell, and got off of hating the site administration.
It's an owner's perogative to operate the business he owns as he sees fit. He puts up the money and makes of it what he can, success or failure being his risk to take.
I don't know of any sites where participating moderators are paid, that's just a pipe dream. The only site I know of where moderators are paid at all is IMDB. They don't participate, and they have a very heavy workload overseeing that sprawling site which is at least 10,000 times as big as this one in terms of subscription and database size. _________________ Rocke T Sinetist

I was not talking literally, guess it was not clear enough.
My point is that this site was not created to run like a business. It was created to help employees, ex-employees and customers or possible customers.
Now if you want to run it like a business, fine!! But don't bullshit us when we are asking for help (my admin forum rank for example). Moving the website to a cheaper server...Messing with the moderators board (was left public when it shouldn't), changing mods and top 10 posters URLs...
Do whatever makes you happy, I don't want to participate, I don't want to be a moderator of this site anymore. Why is that so difficult to understand ?
The hole situation: "I'm the owner of this site, so bend over, kiss my feet and harvest for me" pisses me off. I had my differences but it drove me mad when he started to post, send pms, changed my profile and tried to make fun of me with a forum rank.
Stands on my principles, I won't be an accomplice, I won't be one of the faces in this place. _________________ I see DELL people!!

It just looks bad to/for everyone to go on about it publicly. Let it go.
The forum is what it is, and people are what they are. I could rant endlessly about 'what's wrong' with the world, but why? It wouldn't change unless I bought it and ran it like I wanted. Even Bill Gates can't do that, and we're lucky he can't. _________________ Rocke T Sinetist

He's attempting against my integrity. I'm not posting just because, my principles and my values are in play too.
Besides, I think this concerns to all IHD users. _________________ I see DELL people!!

Oh, and I forgot he wants the mods to work for him.

We already do - it's just that we don't get paid to do it!

If this--or any--site paid me, it would be about as much as I get in royalties for the song I wrote in 1969. About a cheeseburger a month. Even though it's in 3rd rerelease.
Google or Youtube 'Mehameha'. It will give you my real name, but at this point I don't much care. _________________ Rocke T Sinetist

Oh yeah, I'm everything but employable and good looking. I've got Patrick Stewart's hairline and Austin Powers' teeth. _________________ Rocke T Sinetist

Agreed. Sorry gents. Thought I'd make a little comeback but it seems that we can't even straighten out my old nom de guerre. Also I have a family to take care of so I need to know that the info on the board is completely secure. It was different before with mOT being an ex-Dell slave and also having him literally right down the road. I didn't always see eye-to-eye with him however I knew I could trust him. Even if he did suck up to Grissom a little too much.
Anyway, I'll check back now and then. Until the next time,
Thanks for choosing Dell !
