the reason the forum is dying (my theory) - Page 2

silverfool, either you can't read or you have a selective memory (sorry, but your post has certainly pissed me off, and i can't help but make these comments), because in my numerous posts in this thread, I have mentioned several times that a) i'm not trying to complain, i'm just making some helpful suggestions, and b) if you go back and check my previous posts, i have mentioned that i am grateful for the written updates. i have also mentioned that i do not intend for my comments to be taken negatively, so please don't do that.
as far as spending money on the channels goes, i really would appreciate it if you could refrain from passing judgements on ppl who don't have this channel, unjustly assuming that the reason we don't have it is because we don't want to spend the money on it. it's not a matter of money, but availability. i am aware that star one is available to certain people, but not to me.

ummm well i wasnt directly speaking to you, but i guess you need to go back to my post and read it again. and i would appreciate if you didnt sit there and get mad at me for something u said. u have your opinions and i have mine....so no need to get pissed off about anything.

now what i'm about to write is DIRECTLY TO YOU and dont take this personally b/c its not meant to be taken that way...if you sit there and judge the way people write or update, how in the world do you think people would want to update in the future???? i understand that sometimes you're not able to understand some of the things that the updater is writing, but seriously....give them a break. like i said earlier....THEY ARE DOING US A FAVOR! end of that....if you cant say anything nice then DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!

i wasnt trying to start a fire here, but it seem to me that you just got upset about nothing. just like the way you think you had to say what you wanted to, then i dont know why i cant say what i want to in here. beside just like the way you got pissed about my post then i'm sure there are other people in this forum who arent too happy about what you said either. but everyone had freedom of speech therefor i am going to say what i feel is right and you do the same.

good day!

okay sounds fair enough, i agree i might've been reading into your post too much......just to make the record clear though:

i'm not asking updaters to go and take english lessons and start school all over again. all i'm saying is please try to make the updates coherent. someone else posted something above, about how certain words are shortened and all that. that's what i mean. i'm not asking for perfect grammar and perfect english. please, don't misconstrue what i'm trying to say.

hope this helps the people who are here to get help from others in this forum.

Thanks for your info, if I could get Star One where I live, I wouldn't be here on this forum waiting for "favours" and "help from the others".

I hv alwes sed tht i m grtfl nd thnkfl fr da updts bt tht dsnt meen v r nt sppsd 2 exprss our veus or pt frth a sggstn. Wt u thnk of thm 's up 2 u.

hey guys...chill...
i would say the person who puts the updates, is doing great job. its not easy to put an update everyday....so lets appreciate that...but i also think we need a video updater...i know exactly how it feels when you havent watched the esisode and you're just reading the updates...since tania is not able to login right now....i'm too looking for somebody who can do video updates....so lets hope we find somebody soon.

Also there are many reasons for slowing down the forum...maybe we can have some contest in here...it will be interesting..

Lets not get into personal attacks....everybody's thankful and we all are here to enjoy.....so lets do that.....!

exactly jus coundown I am sure we will have a fixed video updater sooooooooooon and as far as the updates are concerned we should thank the updaters that at least they are giving so much time on this work even in the late nite...........

" I hv alwes sed tht i m grtfl nd thnkfl fr da updts bt tht dsnt meen v r nt sppsd 2 exprss our veus or pt frth a sggstn. Wt u thnk of thm 's up 2 u."

then i'm sure you have no prob. reading the updates that way either. right

good day!

Well firstly, everyone here has got take a deep breath. Everyone has a valid point and a particular point of view. No harm done so far.

Now, with the video's, relax. As soon as Tania can she will put up the video's. In the meantime, if someone can do just the best moments of the show, that'll be great. Like good Adi/chandu moments and anti kamini moments.

Now abt the updaters. Well an updater too goes through multitude of emotions and criticism won't go down too well. I as one, the only one speaking here, will vouch for the fact that doing an update is not easy and that you guys should be eternally grateful to us. Having said that, I agree. Sometimes the standard drops but that can be because they're updating at 11, or they have to get it done in ten mins etc. Not defending, just stating the reasons.

So take a break, relax. I as an updater promise to be more concious of what I'm doing and how I'm updating.

Hope that puts this discussion to rest.

i am glad tht we have a forum where ppl. speak their mind. let me address ur issues one by one....

firstly let me state update n videos are not the only things tht make a forum, ppl. participation does.. i am not sayin this as n updater but as a member. it is tough to do this stuff i was doin it regularly but due to some personal commitments cant these day ok... also a lot of ppl. in ths forum tried to do a lot to upbring the forum.. like takin out games, discussions, awards n other stuff... but look at the participation how many replies u get 3. 4 , 7

ever seen some of the other forums.. in kyph even when the show was on a lull quite a few days updates werent available but ppl. were particaptin the posts... without takin ny names may i say some of the ppl. havent even partcipated in ny of the posts e have made to uplift the forum....

as far as a regular updater for video goes.. well shef n hetal r tryin their level best to get things under control n tani is helpless as she is not getting star one....

now comin to the topic of written updates u know hwt ic is not the only show tht everyone watches n will come runnin to update as soon as the show finishes. they do other things too.. like speakin personally i can never update before 11.. n human memory is not computer memory it gets difficult to remember all the graphic details.. i agree some members writupdates in a huff but wht the heck they atleast do.. no one is bound by any if law tht they have to update... n i believe tht they do it very well...

also makina lot of threads abt the same thing doesnt solve the issue rather aggrevates it...rather than makina united forum it will divide it....

thank you for saying that! 😊

I can read and write in short-form, but just like the updaters, we too have things to do other than to decipher the updates written that way. And I don't have any complaints about grammar, even I'm not perfect. Its only the use of shortened words that i'm refering to. I don't mind a short update, without all the minute details, but it would be a lot easier and faster to read something in plain words.
I have said that I am very thankful for the updates we get. But can someone please tell me, does being grateful & thankful for what we have mean we cannot or should not aspire for having something better?
