now, to further address jackobob's inquiry regarding the old dylanpool.

first off, i loved the old dylanpool in its heyday. it was a great place to get information about the world of bob dylan and, better still, on most days, it was a place that made tears of laughter stream from my eyes. and the whole thing worked great as long as its gifted and affable creator, the incomparable arthur louie, was present and paying attention.

when arlo left, however, the place went to seed, and thus i blame arlo himself for the demise of his own creation.

in his absence, incessant flame wars erupted, in part because a group of callous sophisticates who were long-time dylanpool users considered younger, newer and less knowledgeable users to be a nuisance.

anyway, with arlo gone, threads tended to get out of control until arlo drastically compounded the problem by appointing two heavy-handed moderators who acted with bias, in secrecy and without explanation.

after that, the site was doomed, and by the time it finally ceased to exist, it was a blessing that it was gone. i don't blame arlo one bit for closing it when he did, but i do blame him for abandoning it in the first place. he need only have checked in once a week or so to maintain a presence, and that would have made all the difference.

do i personally share some of the blame for the end of the old dylanpool? yes, sure i do. many of us do. and it saddens me to this day.


oh gd, finally I saw the light - now everything is clear - how come nobody was able to explain the simple truth to us? we're idiots babe is a wonder we can even breathe

Re:wait. tim out of mind is a moderator here?? 15 Years, 7 Months ago  
so, Tim Out of Mod,
what sort of cool moderator powers have they given you?

are you able to monitor our PMs for national security purposes?

by posting here, have we consented to your searching our luggage?


and, most importantly of all, can you change someone's avatar to an image of a monkey playing a pair of those tiny cymbals?

as Warren is a self-appointed expert on every topic under the sun,
i am not surprised to find that he is more of an expert on my own personal feelings than even i am.

It's an opinion, bud.

Now, what's that you just said about sarcasm?

Warren, even after lo these many years, i suppose it's refreshing to see that you haven't changed a bit.

Re:wait. tim out of mind is a moderator here?? 15 Years, 7 Months ago  
Welcome, Crow. Tim has been living a good life here on the NEP within the bobness-protection-program and is a very active (which I am sure is not surprising to you) and respected moderator. As was mentioned, there is a solid group of consciencious mods here which is prerequisite to the growth and longevity of sites such as this. The forum here at the NEP has not yet reached the depth and humor that once existed on the DPool or the Watchtower, but it has civility and integrity which positions it with the potential to achieve that and more...

Re:wait. tim out of mind is a moderator here?? 15 Years, 7 Months ago  
hi,thank you for the kind words about the mods.

Currently we actually have 5 mods (tim, lostjohn, laughs, nutopia and myself). Actually, nutopia is more of a technical strength of our team but he has mod-powers so i'm counting him to.
With 5 active mods, chances are really big there's always someone online. I for myself live in Europe, the rest of the gang in the states and this geographical spread allows us to be online almost 24/7.

We try to a lot of freedom with what one posts. The rule of thumb we live by is that no posts are allowed that bash someone other user or that contains very explicit content (and this always makes me think about some of the old pools avatars )

I think we have a quite civilized community here, we hardly ever have to intervene and it has been ages since we last had to been someone...
now, because i said so, i'm sure some old fashioned troll will arive within days...

cheers
thomas
