Forum Back Online

hallm · 03-04-2009, 10:35 AM

Hi Everyone,

As many of you know, we had a huge blowup in the forum regarding a rescue animal that has had pups.

I hope everyone has had a chance to cool down. Yesterday was a terrible day. I think I've lost two moderators, and several members of the forums.

I'm sick about this, and I wish things hadn't transpired the way that they have.

The Moderators aren't perfect, but they must have everyone's respect. There's plenty of room for disagreement and debate, but when the moderators requests for peace are ignored, that's when this forum will collapse and cease to exist. It almost happened last night.

I have created a special place to discuss/help rescue and handle rehoming requests. Please be patient with me while we refine some of our rules, especially for the new forums and work out the kinks for our new forums.

Again, this forum is for BREEDERS AND OWNERS.

Thank you mark for all you do
I love this forum, because it has such wonderful people that dont normally argue or try to be hateful to others
I am here because to many other forums are like that, it was heartbreaking to see all that transpire, and im so heartbroken we lost our much loved moderators, i hope they will reconsider once things get back to normal, god willing it will be soon

Thank you Mark!

Cinsmom · 03-04-2009, 01:55 PM

That's terrible to lose people over that. I hope they come back. I'll miss them!

I am so happy the site is back up. I was really heartbroken this morning when I saw it was off line. This is such a valuable resource to me and I was just sick that I wouldn't be able to hear about all the wonderful doods on this site. Thank you!!

Thank you Mark for your input - I'm sure everyone does appreciate the hard work of the moderators, but things just got a bit overheated!

sandy · 03-04-2009, 06:06 PM

Well I saw the first couple of posts about the rescued dog and the puppies, but missed out on what followed. This forum is usually calm and helpful, so I'm glad I missed the uproar. I had no idea that that was why the forum was down this morning. I hope those involved will get over whatever they were upset about and come back to the doodle forum. We all know what a great site it is for information about our doodles and I thank Mark and the others for the work they have done for us.

Lucky Me · 03-04-2009, 06:19 PM

Thank you Mark!!!
Not sure exactly what happened....I had been busy and when I was able to sit down & try and read all of what was going on, posts had been deleted & I was trying to figure from the final posts what happened and then it was off !!!

It sure broke my heart when I saw that!
I am sure that I was not the only one who's heart sunk when they saw that!
This site is always so upbeat & happy.....it hurt to see all the fighting going on

**MaxandMe** · 03-04-2009, 06:42 PM

thank you Mark for letting this site to continue .......while i am heartfelt over things that transpired
