RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

if only we could get papa back, or contact the owners to allow WS to be the moderator, withouty someone to run the site we have no way of communicating with the owners. Really I could careless about them, but without someone like papa being a moderator the site just doesn't work... Without that we have no way to regain and rebuild what we had, no future... Trust me, me, papa, and WS had plans, big big plans for OP that would have taken OP worldwide, but the owners didn't care to expand, they instead fired papa and blocked us all out, what can we do???

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

If only the owners would let us run the site, me, WS, and maddi could rebuild OP to its formers glory and take it far beyound their limited minds, but we need the power to do so, without their support this thread will be nothing more than a sad reminder to a past we can never get back...

In my opinion, this is an ego based statement, and it's exactly this type of "clique-mentality" that is the makings for another uprising from some new lurking TROLLS, and I am sure that they are watching and reading this Forum. Forget about a take-over by a "select few" and carry on with dignity and humbleness and stop the finger pointing and the delusions.

If a "select few" want to run a Poetry Web Site, then they should start their own.

This nasty criticism toward the OP owners is (already) a negative approach, and needs to be eliminated, because, to me, it sounds like the opening of old wounds on a new battlefield.

The rules are basic and simple: Post poems, comment on the poems of the other members, and be kind to everyone, even the OP owners. Any rule-making other than this would be redundant.

Some members should curb their need to control this site and be "one part of the whole" that makes this site work. So what if things are not the same: Move on and create a new fantasy land with new surprises, new turns, and curves. Be playful, and please, please, please stop complaining and boasting because it sounds one-sided and dirty.

And have no delusions: If the owners want to pull the plug on anybody's page, they can. They own OP, not us; we are here simply as guests, and never lose site of this fact. Any thinking beyond this fool-proof reality is inflated ego.

Remember: Each of us is one part of the whole.

What can we do? Stop the nasty complaining and move on. Nobody needs "big plans" to take a site world wide that was already world wide with over 20,000 members before you got here. Relax, Angel. Your agitation and finger pointing is not helping in returning to OP. Relax and post poems, comment, and say nice things.

We want to feel and we want Poets to feel welcome and be comfortable and Safe..at the same time support one another in their Blogs of networkin' with Love and Respect..it keeps the positive energy flowin in a calm atmosphere. Together we can do it.

Post, post, post ... looking forward!

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

So, the first meeting of the "founding members" has adjourned: Where is everyone?

I hope writing and editing their poetry and getting ready for the neo-OP experience.

I can only hope: Post poems, comment on the poems of the other members, and say nice things to everyone.


Still looking forward ... always moving forward ... always ready.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Hey Madelynn! Hey Angel!

Where is everyone? You came on with a pop and then fizzled out.

Me confused.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Where have all the poets gone: the loud one's who were going to take OP by storm with an onslaught of managing ideas, rules and regulations?

—I am not in favor of a premeditated takeover (the act of "assuming" control of something) that goes poof and dissolves—ya'all got me excited and then left me without a climax.

It id do easy to just come on this site, read a little poetry and move along. Its even possible to leave a kind word or two if you like, sweet idea. Why does one feel the need to degrade and put other artists down? If you have nothing nice to say then just say nothing. No need to correct my diction, grammar, spelling or puncuation, I may be perfectly aware of my flawed offering. We are all just trying to express ourselves, so what if I expresss my self with that third ess, does that mean I want to be spell-checked by any "profeser" (Intentionally miss-pell-duh) on this or any other site? Like Dah said post poems and enjoy the new reality, life is like a ................you know the rest.
