Can I take refuge here?

Post by Darkchilde » Tue Feb 23, 2010 8:48 am

Hello all,

another displaced and very pissed off ex-moderator from RDF. I already have posted a few posts over at the RDF threads. Just need to get all this anger and bitterness out in the open, about the way both staff and members have been treated by the RD site overlords.

PS. Looking for a blogger template: 3 columns, dark, something on the gothic vampire side, not very intricate but elegant. If anyone knows of a template like the above PM me. Thanks.

You are very welcome here gorgeous lady. :hugs: I'm still in shock. It hasn't hit me emotionally yet. :nono:

Absolutely welcome! I was an old-time poster on RDF who migrated here many moons ago, loving my new community, but regretting the big city I left...

When things settle down, the Ratz community will shine even brighter as the influxers make their contributions...

"Another aspect of the particulateness of the gene is that is does not grow senile; it is no more likely to die when it is a million years old than when it is only a hundred. It leaps from body to body in it's own way and for its own ends, abandoning a succession of mortal bodies before they sink in senility and death" -Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene p.34

Of course it's you place to welcome people!

And welcome Darkchilde, vent, scream, shout and spit your dummy out! Then add your unique contribution to the collective!

Hey, Darkchilde. I was just starting my thank-you PMs to each moderator at RDF, and I did not make it to you (and many others) before I was froze out. So, thanx for your outstanding service. And welcome here.

You'd better watch out, give me an inch and all the power may go to my head, and before you know it I'll be deleting your posts locking you out of your own forum.
