It was only a matter of time....and here it is....dead air. All the petty nonsense "take this post down it's not a real fire." "It's not a signal 10. that's BS! Why are you reporting it". Those comments and the inconsistencies of the moderators have brought this site to what I knew it would be. Instead of the moderators telling the bitchy complainers to, Oh I don't maybe SKIP THAT POST AND NOT READ IT, they agree with the whiners and tell the OP to not post something. I'm laughing last...MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I bet you expected to see a whole bunch of people replying back with Eh, its all good dude. I agree with you. Some people just complained a lot. Mainly how the posts didn't conform to the standard posts of jobs and what not. Hell, I was one of them when I first got on here oh, about 6 or 7 years ago. Now its different, you can post what ever it is you wanna "buff out" and I just call it like it is. Doesn't seem people like it, hence the -20 karma ;D, but hey, who cares, its just a website and by no means the real world. Sure the site has died down. I for one didn't expect it to be going on forever. People move on, or lose interest. Not the case with you however. So how bout it folks, wanna vote to make pinocchiovalecia a moderator? Although as you have so wonderfully pointed out, there isn't much left here to moderate. You'd probably make a good one since you seem open minded. I'm sure this may sound sarcastic, but its not. No hard feelings man?

Well, I will say this and be done with it.
We have been here for almost 7 years, run by volunteers on our own time. I was 21 when we started this and really had no life to speak of, other than the fire department. We grew up, as did those who helped keep this going. To be honest, There are more built-up sites out there where people go to post their jobs and discuss firefighting. As the original FD Message Board, the goal was to encourage build-up and expansion. but more importantly, we knew someday someone would put up a better site with graphics and user-friendly options. There is only so much to do with a Proboards site without investing a ton of cash. I, myself have been paying for the domain name LIFIREEMS.COM, and though not a large expense i often wonder if it is worth it. But then i come here and see 200 guests, 20 members have viewed these pages in the last 24 hours and it becomes clear that it IS still worth it.
Like CFD said, there is not much to moderate. And I will be going through the pages, tossing any old threads out. If you want to be a part of it, I welcome you. PM and I will set you up.

People still come here just to check for activity. There is not doubt that a lot of people have migrated to another forum. However, they still come around here once in a while to see if anything new has come about. That is what the internet is all about.

Agree Runt and this board used to be better than the RANTS and can be once again with some new blood and participation.

Don't feel bad about it fellas, the other places are very slow too! When the sites become too political or business oriented they die. Keep up the good work.
