This may be random but why doesn't paul ever post?

Sign in to disble this ad
Is it normal for site owners to barely ever post in their own forum? I thought he would at least give some normal advice and get into conversation but he only posts for admin/mod reasons.

Perhaps he doesn't feel the need to.

when I was a mod... he was very vocal behind the scenes. He's a real busy guy wearing many hats.

If the world was a web forum about basses, would God post? No.

Back in the day he used to be pretty active - not so much these days.

Maybe he posts under an "assumed" name..... I know that if I were in his position, I'd maybe come up with an alternate identity so as not to be too scrutinized when trying to just make a small point.

Hi, "Paul"!

Let me give you a little inside information about Paul. Paul likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for his own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, he sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' his sick, ******' ass off! He's a tight-ass! He's a SADIST! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? NEVER!

Maybe he's just fed up and has seen every thread before that we start and think is new and unique..

I find that most people that run forums for business purposes don't participate very often. They prefer to have mods and admins in place to deal with the day to day operations. Not being involved in the forum operation allows them to focus on the business side of things, advertisers and generating revenue.

Because winning it would have given me too much responsibility with the site. C'mon, Admin AND Moderator? I don't have that kind of time. It was obvious I was going to crush Turner, so I instructed him to win. Unfortunately, his poor math skills led him to give himself more votes than we have members. Good help is hard to find.
