    For: This is his website and he needs to be more involved in the upkeep and keeping in touch with the mods so they are aware of what is going on.

  • Gem

    For: after taking the time to set up a website that so many people depend on these days, it's a shame to neglect it the way he has done in the past. A crying shame.

    I think I'm sitting on the fence with this...

    I believe that Janis' arrival has been a god send in terms of improving the site, however when he does come, he will ignore the little things and resume to his daily life... So again I am sitting on the fence here...

    HAHA!

    I'm so against Janis coming back ;) So very against it. He's only the owner and manager of the site, come onnnn, we don't need him!

    Omg, sorry havnt got on here and posted anything,all of ppls have good arguments, but i think that the "poster" (sorry, im posting answer, cant check ur name :S) has a great! point, so id like to thank everyone for participating, and please, continue =)

    I disagree with promoting this kind of classist, authoritarian thinking, completely."

    Oh come on Sherry, really...

    Do you think a man who hardly spends any time here except to update and check on the mods, is classist...Please!

    Thats like saying George Bush isn't merely a marrionette who used his father's name to get to where he is.

    No! I think Janis is anything but classist. If he was, surely none of us, would be here, and surely the forum would strictly be used by those he considered of upperclass standing.

    I think Janis, is a sort of person who actually is caught up with real life...Seriously cut him some slack, enjoy what he has given us poets, which is a website, where we can share poems, speak, debate, hate, love, fraternize....Lol.

    Lets be happy with what we got...Instead of complaining about whether he posts or not.

    I never said he was classist.

    Don't twist things hun....

    For- I think that there are a bunch of things that need to be looked into an changed like this new praising comments thing, along with some set ups and stuff him getting more involved in this site could make things much better

    I agree with this comment to a certain extent. He did create this wonderful website for us, I could care less if he posts in the discussion forums or not. If he is so caught up with real life as you say, then he should offer the site to someone else who is able and willing to take over, make needed upgrades, changes and answer people's concerns.

    Isn't that a little extreme, I mean, he is doing the updates, changes and answering people's concerns now. I think that it is his perogative if he wants to live his life, to his own choosing and deal with the updates.

    We mustn't judge him nor must we allocate him as something he's not.

    He made this site, into what it is, and he alone can do as he pleases with it.

    None of our concern...really!

    :S are u kidding? he left about 2 years ago (give or take, someone plz corrct me) he has done almost no updates in months, and yes, as the owner of the site, that makes him responsible for making sure the wants of the people are met...for example, i know im going out on a limb here, but the chatroom, if it was here, more people would be online, so more poems/quotes would be produced...thats just one of many pros to having janis back, the ability to have a strong monarchy-type leader who can make discisuions without having to go through a supperiour

    (btw, all caught up on updating ppl for and against)

  • Noir
    16 years ago

    Lol... Actually if you read the updates, he's been gone for 9 months... The thing is that as owner of the site, he does have responsibilities, however, as owner of the site, he has no obligation to either post on the forums or bend to any person's wishes...

    We musn't complain about his appearances or otherwise because fact is... all we really need him for is keeping the site ship-shape which he already done...

  • BlueEyedMystery

    He has to have been here some time lately, because he praised one of my comments. Or at least I think that was him... o.o Yep, I'm pretty sure, because it said Praised by : Janis Krumins.

    Anyways, I say we should just be grateful that we have a place like this. Stop bothering him, or he just might think it's too much trouble and close it. I don't want that to happen. I love P&Q :[ I mean it would be great if he was more active in the site, but I just don't want to keep pushing it.

    Just my two cents.

    No, it isn't extreme. Updates were recently made and before this uuummmmm let me count the months it had been......The site recently went down for days to with no warning or explaination.

    Yes it is his site and he can do what he pleases, true. It is of concern to the members of the site.

    Ok, im done posting b/c im kinda sick of the arguments...not the arguing, but the ideas.. :S

  • Noir
    16 years ago

    Lol... Isn't this thread suppose to establish ideas, I mean the possibility of you making a petition, is firstly fruitless, because Janis is already here and secondly pointless...I don't need to tell you why..lol

    Sorry!
