^^ That's a nice knife

 

Are we still talking about this?

Cricket, just a thought… many online communities and forums lock topics which are meant to be public announcements, as they are not open to debate. I'm really surprised you didn't see this coming.

 

Tree slabs are OK.

 

Just to be clear, which slab/stump cutoff are we using? The European 20 cm, the US 6" or the biblical 0.5 cubit?

 

Does Cricket work here? I mean is he some kind of website managment person, or just another guy with an opinion? If he is some kind of website managment person, I think it would be helpful to attach a little dowatchet at the end of his posts saying "Junior Grand Poobah of Lumberjocks Web Experience Incorporatated" or whatever. Otherwise he (or she) risks being dismissed (and even ridiculed) as a busybody.

I wondered the same thing. 279 posts in 94 days seems kind of fresh out of the basket. The site promotional signature… anybody can do that. I didn't want to say anything earlier because I didn't want to step on any toes, but now I can say Ocelot started it.

 

"Getting back to the original topic, maybe we could stick to posting Real woodworking projects instead of stuff like cutting boards and little boxes. Nyuk nyuk"
You mean like your "log" Clint?

Ocelot - Cricket works for Escalate Media. She's the Community Manager here on LJs

 

 

How about making it a top 5 instead of a top 3 that way there's a better chance of someone basking in the top.

 

As Clint Searl posted "Getting back to the original topic, maybe we could stick to posting Real woodworking projects instead of stuff like cutting boards and little boxes. Nyuk nyuk"

I think he is just trying to get under our feathers but saying that as long as my little boxes are earning me an income of between $500.00 $1200.00 monthly then I don't care what it's called call it what you like

 

I'm with Clint. Less pens too!

...I think he was pointing out the absurdity of monitoring the "adults" here more than trying to get under anyone's feathers. Seems he succeeded at both though!

 

tefinn: So, you are saying that "cricket" is Debbie Pribele?

http://lumberjocks.com/about/team

When an employee of the company which owns the site, posts, speaking for the owners, I think it would be helpful if they would make clear who they are and provide a link in their signature to the "team" page which describes their position and role on the site.

I certainly meant no disrespect to Debbie Pribele.

The page needs to be updated.

This is me…

I don't agree at all sorry participents/woodworkers/turners should be free to post anything they are proud to have made. Including pens cutting boards etc I have seen many beautiful well thought out and designed work like this which is an education to all of us.I feel some people protesteth too much for the good of the general Lumberjock comunity In short grow up stop continually whinging and enjoy like the rest(majority) of us LOL Alistair

 

I think only things I like should be posted. No oak, nothing made on a lathe. I hate the word lathe. And nothing made with a sawstop….....
There.

 

Chuck and Clint.
Thanks for a good laugh.

Cricket never went to an all boys Catholic High School. She never saw what a French teacher went through.

Nor the first year for a home room teacher of grade nines.

But as an old farmer said about the stubborn mule " Ya got to hit them over the head with a 2×4 to get here attention".

I never look at the top 3.

Algorythem smalgorytem. 4:20 on 4/20 that's mine numerical dance.

 

Well if enough people liked it to make the daily top 3 it should be delete. Enough popular stuff gets deleted the site will begin to speed back up again.

Maybe program that right into the code. Hit the top 3 and bammm…....gone!

 

I'm curious as to why there are 4 to 9 "Top 3" projects some days? Example is 24 days ago right now, 4/20/14

 

I remember that day 24 days ago. That was a loooong day.

 

Just to be fair, if there's gonna be a TOP 3 beauty contest, why not a daily UGLIEST? Some pretty godawful dreck shows up, and oughta be properly recognized as such. Nothing motivates like a little heartfelt rejection. A daily judge could be randomly selected from a pool of volunteers.

 

I swear Clint, this thread was made just for you to post in.

 

I think Don W. is on(to) something.

 

Cricket,

If you drive up to a school and find sombody walking around in the parking lot who says "I am the principal", you think, "well, she might be the principal or then again maybe not", but when you go into the school to the office that says "Principal", the person you find sitting there you feel fairly confident is the principal.

So far as I can see right now, you still look like that person walking in the parking lot in front of the school.

I think you need a link at the top of every page - "About Us" is the standard name on it - and it should, fairly quickly, lead to an official page about you. Then, when you post, you need a signature line in every one of your posts which contains a link to that page.

I think it would help. Just a suggestion.

Paul (and many others)--You're taking things way too seriously. LJs and its bureaucracy is not an internet destination that's indispensable to one's way of life….Or is it?

Don't worry; be happy
