But I do appreciate heavy hitters, both kinds!

Shouting people down that don't hold the same political view as you do is part of this forum. Can't say I agree with it but I'm still here... And I'm certainly no heavy hitter.

Introduction , by rjf76 on Jun 15, 2016 8:01:19 GMT 1, My apologies if I have contributed to that happening Cornish. Certainly not my intention. I thought you were a good guardian. Thanks for all your efforts thus far. It's not easy! Not at all dude, it's been a long time coming, I guess it just needed a little comment like the one above, like you've also noticed, it was exactly how you and I read it, and I firmly believe it was meant in that way. 11 has also made a valid point, the input he has added from a personal level has been amazing, his time travelling and uploading the photos and videos for the whole art community on this forum needs to be rewarded, but 11 wouldn't want anything other than the smiles and extra knowledge being soaked up by all old and new, for this to then be knocked in some shape or form is disrespectful espiscially from the site owner, it's below the belt man !!!!! Anybody can copy and paste but it takes a real art lover to put the hours in for the true passion. No worries
Spot on.
I think anyone who's paid attention over the last 6 months (outside of talking about Stik and Banksy) would have picked up on this!
11 's, amongst many others, contributions (visually and written) were a vital source here. Always finding the time to be superhumanly forum active whilst juggling life in general - something I struggle with even in my contributions! Fortunately there's a life outside of here, so still able to converse and get all the news over a beer or coffee!
It's such a shame that another guardian is forced to step down. I've always admired your select, usually spot-on observations and contributions Cornish Crayon and hope you still stick around in whatever guise or context you feel relevant! Nice use of Humperdinck too.....
No worries

Introduction , by 11 on Jun 15, 2016 9:31:10 GMT 1, Am I in this bracket as I'm More than happy to remove all of the pictures I own. I chose to share with the community but it seems you place no value whatsoever on anyone contributing and believe you are the only one that matters here. I guess that's a clear warning to anyone and everyone that putting anything on UAA isn't serving a community and just serves you. A remarkable statement when this forum has rapidly become a platform to hype and manipulate because the well respected members have had enough and can't even be bothered to challenge the BS anymore. The threat of being banned just for challenging you has stifled the ones that remain and all we see is manipulation and hype - probably a good thing!? 21k members? - how many have logged on in the last 6 months - shouldn't active membership be the metric that counts, which I believe has diminished significantly DS was making a follow on joke about Heavy Hitters being those who like to have sex with overweight women. Personally i thought it was a good joke! A few members on here clearly getting the wrong end of the stick.
Someone does indeed have the wrong end of the stick - it is As coach said.
Unfortunately anyone considered popular is considered a manipulator whilst the real manipulators are ignored and allowed to carry on their games. Sadly anyone gaining more than 2 stars is seen as a threat to the fiefdom and unless your kissing arse will always be at risk of being booted for expressing an opinion, especially if it is against the owner - and I state that as fact.
There just no need for the sly digs but that is really what this place has become. I was proud to be part of the team that worked incredibly hard to improve the whole forum and it was sad to see all that effort totally disregarded without any acknowledgement of our contributions. My crime was to suggest we should have some level of quality control as I felt some of the artists being promoted were not what the UAA brand should be about - and for that I get accused of being a manipulator - it was simply a view that we shouldn't be a ยฃ1 shop selling any old shit and instead be something that people looked up to
Cornish is a great guy and was a great guardian, I was proud to be part of the same team. it's very sad to see him step-down as well now but respect the fact he doesn't want to be seen as condoning the behaviours and views expressed by the leader.

Introduction , by overend on Jun 15, 2016 20:39:45 GMT 1, Problem is when you freeze certain people out its the whole forum that suffers.
I guess not many know what's happening in Bristol these days since feral stopped posting his excellent photos. You are all missing out on some great stuff!
