Thanks for the offer and for all those who have sent me emails of support, and to several of you who offered me the facilities to post to your forums too.

I can fully respect those who feel irritated and or may not like my postings or tactics...and the traffic that they may bring....but thats my perogative to decide how I wish to promote my website and draw traffic. I do not wish to irritate those folks who do not care for what I do, or the way I do it... but nor do I wish to penalize my supporters (and there are many...they are in the majority..) either. So the best solution is for me not to post on this forum any longer, but to post to a forum where the traffic I create is welcomed....and so I will post to Ray & Julie's forum in future.

This should satisfy both the MK supporters as well as the MK detractors. The detractors will no longer be irritated by my presence on this forum...and for those who wish to read MK postings please visit Ray & Julie's forum from now on.

Don't worry...I am not going to let a few detractors deter me from what I want to do. I am going to create a new video stream later today...it will be a 5 minute video of the Melinda Messenger scene from UK Celebrity Big Brother...with Melinda and another girl in jeans in the pool. There will be a puzzle again...so if you don't like my tactics...don't read my postings.

Look for info on this later this weekend on Ray & Julie's forum.

Hi MK,

It is indeed a shame that folks can't have a bit of fun and games... Julie likes fun and games and you are most welcome to post puzzles on her forum at wetfreespirit.org

The forum averages over 500 visitors a day (I imagine most visit to download the picture of the day), but there is a good group of folks posting and having fun... please come and join us.....

Julie and Ray

puzzles will end

FYI, Nigel raises some very valid points that I had not considered before....i.e. that my postings were causing long threads that were eating up space in the forum. I might add...that if posting messages that cause long threads is a crime...then not only should puzzles be banned, but also "polls" too...i.e. folks who post messages asking people to vote for the next photoset they want to see are equally as guilty of creating long threads too.

The point is valid though...long threads without meaningful content are a waste of space and bandwidth to the forum...so I agree with what Nigel says.....i.e. space and bandwidth on the forum should be more productively used and tactics designed to get feedback (i.e. polling or puzzles or any attempts to get a lot of people to respond to your thread) are not a good idea for this forum.

Therefore, puzzles must now end...and I will consider a new strategy in order to manage my bandwidth...cos my bandwidth costs are high and have to be managed too. I cannot afford to post streaming videos for free for the entire community without turning my site into a members only paysite..and I do not wish to do that. I am not going to create a pay site for video streams. I will develop a new stategy to show video streams for wamtec supporters, contacts, members, traders et al...so if future I will not post info about video streams here...cos I don't want all the negative feedback these seem to have created (it amazes me how something I considered to be a maganimous gesture....i.e. free video streams...has caused so much hate mail). The people doing all the whining are not wamtec fans anyay...so there is nothing I can do to appease them. In future I will not post info on video streams here...I will keep it off this forum and post the info on my website only...and anybody who is a wamtec customer or supporter can email me and I will give them the link privately via email.

Sorry for all this trouble this has caused. This was not my intent. My intent was to inject a little fun into this forum....but as my old dad used to say...when you are not having fun...it's time to get out of Dodge.
