No harm, no foul in Site Updates

I'm afraid my last entry on here may have hurt someone's feelings. I dealt with the situation somewhat passive aggressively when being direct would have been a lot easier. It's easy to rush to judgement when you don't know all the facts.
So anyway, I just wanted to say that everything is fine. No harm was done. And I'm sorry for not handling it a bit more gracefully. There are still kinks to work out on the site, and when everything has matured and is running smoothly, things like that won't even be issues. Growing pains and all that.
Prosebox won't be getting my usual level of attention for most of the rest of this month. I will be enjoying ocean views in the Pacific Northwest next week and plan on mostly avoiding electronic devices. Good coffee, a good book, mild temperatures... grandparents to watch the Little Man... it's a relaxing recipe.
In the meantime, I will take the advice of one Proseboxer and let the community govern itself a bit. If you happen to notice an issue on the site that may cause annoyance to others, please don't be afraid to politely tell someone in a private note that they are doing something that may bother others. That user is probably not trying to offend anyone and will most likely stop if asked nicely.
And remember:
Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes.

Party on and enjoy your gadget-free time. PB will be fine. I'll give everyone cookies and we'll catch up on our trailer porn.

What good book do you plan on reading?? A good book can make the world disappear

I've been meaning to finish up Silverthorn, the last book in the Riftwar Saga by Raymond Feist. I've been in my sci-fi/fantasy phase. :)

What is this politeness you speak of? I'm not familiar.
Ada O. ⋅ August 20, 2013
Now it is I who want you not to feel bad. None of it was that big of a deal, really.

Beautifully said.
It's something we could all learn to do. Thanks for setting a most excellent example of humility.
That's why this site is going to work...
And with that said, enjoy your time off! I promise, after the first two days of withdrawal, you'll come to appreciate living life a little more!

"Party on dudes" is a whole other thing than "Party on, dudes." Hahaha. Whee.
simple mind Jigger ⋅ August 21, 2013
Yeah, I suppose that's an important distinction. :-D

I was wondering about multiple posts.... sometimes I have a tendency to do this or I see others filling up the front page is there a way to only show a member's most recent post? I am not sure if this is a good idea because then people may not read the other posts by the member unless the have them bookmarked or click the member's last entry they posted
