  1. Agree with you. It is not a pleasure for anyone. I am not sure if that is the case, as he didn't like the contest from Day 1. But, I can see why you think this. It was pointed out that it had been done for years in the past. It has been. It doesn't say in the rules not to call someone an asshole but if someone does, I have also been know to remove the post. I think that a rule for every scenario is impossible. That being said, Lucky was trying to teach another contestant how not to hog up the forum by posting the days post in one thread. I respect that. I love teachers. But, I don't like someone posting just to prove a point over and over. I let it slide the first time I saw it. I shouldn't have. It didn't slide by the second time. We also banned a member this week. There was no rule set in stone for why he was banned but it was obvious he was here to attack Lucky and a few other posters from grudges on other sites. We had no specific rule but we knew the right thing to do was to ban him. We did. But, we didn't have to explain to anyone why he was removed. People seem to be confident that we run a good site and they trust our judgement when it comes to these issues. We use our Moderator capabilities very rarely. When we do, we do so for a reason. Let me be clear, TY had nothing to do with Lucky's post being merged. I take full responsibility for that. In hindsight, it may have been better to tell him not to do it when I saw it the first time. But, I didn't. That was my mistake which won't happen again with anyone. I'll be sure from now onwards to tell people when they are misbehaving. My apologies if I ignored a post that I should have commented on. It wasn't my intention to do that. I know I should be more diligent about responding to posts that were intended to illicit a response from me. I didn't acknowledge it because I knew it was not what Lucky was looking for. If it were the mere 20 posts, that would have been easy to do and I doubt that no one in the contest would have cared. But, I didn't think that was the issue and I don't think the count for the contest was an issue for Lucky. I thought the issue was him not being informed prior to doing it. As I told him personally, I didn't see the edit till after it was too late and once done and he was upset, there was nothing I could have done that would have helped the situation including giving him 20 posts to his count. That would be easy. Do you think that would have solved the issue? Really? If so, I hereby state that I give Lucky 20 posts back. Lets see if this is what he wanted. IMHO and it is just my opinion, this is all to do about nothing. Lucky got upset. He expressed it. We respected his comments and his stance. We also take and took everyone's comments on the forum, in private message and in emails to heart as we try to make this site even better in the future. World Peace!
  2. Lucky, it is so good to see you are still with us and have not totally left us. We value you very much and want you to know you are always welcome here and are appreciated here. Your opinions are also very valuable to us and we appreciate the input. Thank you for trying to shape this forum into a more perfect form!
  3. LOL No, I don't know what you mean. Can you draw me a pic?
  4. June is my long term boyfriend's birthday in Thailand and I am required to be there (or it will cost me a fortune). Even though he only wants to hang out and go to a movie on his BD, I love going out to party!
  5. An apology for what? I'd love to kiss but there is no making up for me as I am not upset or mad. But, I most likely won't be able to make it to Rio this go around. I have some things going on that I can't get out of. However, if I do make it down there, I am open for kisses with anyone!
  6. LOL Yes, I can. Everyone tells me to watch Family Guy but I could never get into it. Love both of these. I have it recorded and think it is a great show. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this season. This has turned out to be one of my favorites this year! I did forget my all time favorite 2 shows EVER. Survivor and Big Brother. I love both and don't think I've ever missed an episode.
  7. Do over. Do over. I forgot the good wife. Great show. I am also addicted to the Vampire Diaries and Secret Circle but I am ashamed to admit it.
  8. 1. Parenthood 2. Private Practice 3. Game of Thrones 4. Shameless 5. Bill Maher
  9. Great TV show. I didn't know it was ending. That is sad. I have really enjoyed the show over the years. I was watching Phenomenal or something like that with Travolta this weekend and she was the lead lady. I had forgotten that.
  10. Hero is a bit different but things may have changed since I tried that. Most of the guys are expected to do more than one massage a day and the ones that work on weekends can do 4 or more in one day. It does not behoove the owners to let them out early. So, they normally don't.
  11. I loved her performance at the awards last night and I love her voice. I can't wait to see what her future holds.
  12. I have loved this author for many years and was excited when I saw his new novel on Amazon. I read it over the weekend and really enjoyed it. IMHO, it was not at good as some of his other novels but it was enjoyable. Most of Burdett's novels are based in Thailand and in Bangkok where the lead character lives. As someone who loves Thailand and Bangkok, it is always fun to read about places you know and love. The book is a very easy read and gives you some really weird but fascinating characters.
  13. Towelroad and The Huffington Post are reporting that actor Matt Bomer acknowledged his sexual orientation in public for the first Saturday during the Steve Chase Humanitatian Awards in Palm Springs. The White Collar star thanked his partner, publicist Simon Halls, and their three children after receiving the New Generation Arts and Activism Award for his work in the fight against HIV/AIDS. "I'd really especially like to thank my beautiful family: Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry," Bomer told the crowd. "Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment." http://www.gay.net/celebrities/2012/02/13/matt-bomer-comes-out
  14. You will have to be careful in Hero and keep it between you and the masseur. If the managers get wind of it, they will try to derail it. I have experienced this myself. I wanted one guy to come to my place each day at noon and told the mamasan and would pay them for the time. The boy wanted to go but they made sure it didn't happen.
  15. John Goodman played a great part in Treme its first season. He is a really great actor. He seems to have done well for himself. I have always enjoyed Rosanne. I hope this is as funny as the last one.
  16. Really? Then, you haven't really kept up with this site. We have done the same thing for years. Nothing is ambiguous or inconsistently applied. If you make 30 posts in the same thread in less than an hour, I'll combine those as well. I know Lucky has many friends here here but the rules have not changed and nothing is applied inconsistently. Sorry to see you upset CharliePS, but you have no reason to be IMHO.
  17. MSGuy, that has to be the funniest post I have ever read! Thank you!
  18. Matthew Lawrence Taylor Lautner
  19. First one is an amazing performance by Leo Dicaprio, What's Eating Gilbert Grape. A great movie. IMHO The other one is James Woods. But, I can't remember the name of the movie.
  20. Sleepy Hollow! (Beach edition)
  21. Admins and Moderators reserve the right to combine posts, threads, etc if they see fit. If many posts on the same topic are written by the same person and it looks like a post only to increase post count, we will do so. We will do this at our discretion. We also reserve the right to ban or limit new posters if we believe they are a moniker of someone who has been banned in the past. We try our best to have an open forum and we make decisions that we feel are in the best interest of the community. Our intentions are always to preserve the fun spirit of the message board. When we do this, it is not to offend anyone or get anyone upset and it is never personal. We want to maintain a good message board with great posters and with great topics.
  22. All 3 are correct. Anyone else?
  23. I am a visual person and some photos stay in my mind forever. Can you name the movies in the shots below?
  24. I don't care about streaming movies. I want the DVD delivery. I also want to be sure I have the best access to gay films. Which of the two should I choose? Netflix or Blockbuster?
