Why am I going to hate this?
Great and Powerful threadmaster! I could care less what the TM stands
for. In close to three years on this forum, I can't ever recall
seeing a "threadmaster" screwing with threads, and I look forward to
your endeavors. Considering how little threads have been compiled for
downloading in this forum, I'd say the twelve of you aren't doing
your jobs.
As to getting ahold of the sysop, I don't really have a need to. I'm
happy with the way things are going now. If you feel that there needs
to be some new regulation and/or restriction, then by all means start
your implementation. I sure hope Autodesk starts to pay you, because
it will be an extremely large task.
Since you evidently like to tout your all powerful hand around here
because you have a TM attached to your name and you have free flags,
lets not forget in this discussion that while I have over 30 copies
of Autodesk products, 3D Studio, Animator Pro, and Autocad, while I
spend on average $2000+ dollars on this forum every year, and while I
spend a heck of alot of time on this forum answering tech questions
continuously, additionally providing Adesk with support products to
bundle with their packages, and generally do a heck of alot to aid
Adesk in everyway possible, I think both you and your brethren should
take a serious look at what drives this forum and take the time to
realize that we're not kids sitting around with nothing better to do,
we happen to pay for this forum on a daily basis, and our purchases
and use of Adesk products is what allows Adesk to put those free
flags on your account.
I'd say that if you feel that there's a need to take this to a higher
authority, then maybe we should fly out to Autodesk and have a long
discussion of this whole problem. I'm sure Adesk would pay for your
trip, since they obviously intrust you with control of their only
support chain. Let's see, I figure that I answer somewhere around
100% more questions here than you do. Who do we feel does more to
support this forum? If you believe that you have the need and desire
to start regulating this forum, then I'm sure the forum members would
be thrilled to have you. When you edit that Summa thread make sure
you notice the 4 messages from Jonas unrelated to the header, 1
message from Nik totally unrelated, and the message from Gary. As a
matter of fact, make sure you realize that the only person who
actually answered the question regarding the Summa was John
Tissavary, Jonas took the thread south.
Next?

P.S. – Since you felt it necessary to explain TM, let me explain that
the CEO attached to my name means that I'm the one who signs all of
the checks for all of those Adesk products my company purchases. If
you notice the company name, you'll notice that we're the ones with
Bingo cards in every copy of the 3DS and AniPro packages, and if you
noticed the spelling of my name, I'm sure you'll recognize it as the
one Autodesk likes to attach to quotes selling their products.
