I can slip an hour or two of programming work in for BTown as well. I've been a web programmer for 10 years. Also my icon is a green 16 bit pumpkin.

My biggest pet peave(sp?) is the fact that I use the alternate layout and the ref check pages don't work in "subsilver."

The retalitory feedback STILL has not been removed. We are now working towards two years.
Come on. This is rediculous. I have been using this site for years, built up a decent rep and it has been marred for over a year by a negative feedback that I don't deserve. It needs to be fixed.
If I don't get what I think I am getting you will be sending me money for me to ship it back to you. So be very certain I know what I am getting.

Also more of what I don't want doesn't make up for not getting what I agreed upon.

Either will result in negative feedback, posting of our records in the appropriate section of bartertown, and possible mailfruad. Otherwise don't trade with me.

Working towards TWO years?

I only see two. One is about a year old (about 13 months), and the other is approaching 3 years.
The more recent one is, obviously, a revenge ref that needs removing. Is that the one you're referring to?

I believe he is imply that the fact that since the feedback has been on there greater than 365 days we have started the second year and saying "working toward two years" sounds grander than 'about 13 months". Of course saying "We're now officially working on the first decade" would sound even better.
By trading with me you agree that all signature based trade rules are not in force. If it isn't in the PM thread then it doesn't apply.

The answer to that SHOULD BE "None."
All requests should go through Linrandir (and, soon, the other Admins that are going to be added) and funneled THROUGH THEM to Adam.

That's odd. I thought that you HAD to poke ONLY Adam to get results on reference changes...

I know that I HAD to get in contact with Adam when I needed my references combined (two email addresses). That was about three years ago though, so I guess things could've changed in the meantime.

Hmmm...

Nope. Lin needs poked, ever since he moved.
AFAIK, everything's supposed to (for now) filter through Lin.

IMO I have poked enough and allowed time enough for even the bussiest person to get to it. Now I expect that people should be doing what they say they are going to do. If I could leave feedback for adminstrative duties a couple of people would have negative feedback.

Here's a link to my Original post on the topic.

Unfortunately, that can take a while. I talked to Adam the other day - maybe I should be calling him on a more regular basis, but he is very busy at work right now. Without going into specifics, he is in charge of several projects with Very Large dollar values and he's swamped. I had advised him of several site issues, and I've sent him a follow-up private message to that effect. I think the fact of the matter is that we have him for brief periods, between which he's busy with his own real life stuff.

Sid, with regards to your petition and with apologies for bringing the discussion into a public forum...but the person from whom you need buy-in is Adam. He's the one holding the proverbial keys to the kingdom. Hopefully he'll be chiming in soon and we can reach a consensus on where to go from here.
I take that as an "okay" to PM Adam.

Personally, if it were me, I would be poking him 2 times a month until the situation was resolved.
