pineda Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Bach-You should check out www.woodlandsonline.com for a little spice in your life!Their forums are a riot to read, and they have great classifieds. There's always a list of activities on everything going on in the South Montgomery County area and plenty of organizations that could use some intelligent, well-spoken volunteer like you!

An obvious waste of talent. I feel the same way. I've been disciplining myself to not log on at while at work but I check in the morning and evenings, and maybe at lunch.

NewMND Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 If only there were a flood of projects coming out to drool over, I check this board often, and everytime I'm hoping to see some new project announced, and everyonce in awhile there is! I bet the Las Vegas and Miami forums are hopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I logged in several times a day because I've been on a *6* week vacation. so there! I'm about to start work again, so I'm going back to logging on once a day or so. But I'm sure some of you will be happy so I will stop spamming the board.

bachanon Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 you know pineda? if i were employed by the woodlands i'd have a serious conflict of interest. as much as i believe the woodlands would benefit from the grand parkway project and as much as i wish for personal property rights to be protected (knowing of your struggle), it would be hard for me to be objective. any time the grand parkway project issue comes up, i think of you.....losing your home. i don't wish for you to lose your home, but i like the thought of having an easy freeway, connector close to me.

pineda Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 articles that kind of explain the division of power in the woodlandsYou know, I read in the press that Sherman Yehl got fired, but after reading his job description, it makes me wonder how he could have worn so many different hats. I understand through reading in the press that he was only in his post for two years in the woodlands and before that he was with west university. Was he a big proponent of the Grand Parkway project or was he primarily concerned with the prospect of annexation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjb434 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 i just speak my mind. try to be a part of the forum.I found that this has been one of the best forums i have ever been a part of. Every other forum I've been in has become a shouting match (i.e. Skyscrapercity).by the way, you have some good posts too, and many other people on this forum have really great things to say and there points of view really make this place a good way to discuss our interests.

YakuzaIce Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I guess almost all the time. I usually look at it when I first get on and then keep it in a tab while I look at other stuff checking back every 30 mins. or so. I spend alot of time here.Oh yeah just wondering how do most of you view this forum? Do you just go through the individual forums or use the view new posts button? Personally I like to use the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbigtex56 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 thank you for the compliment. we owe our esteemed moderators and our editor thanks for keeping it real around here. thanks guys! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the kind words! Members such as yourself make moderator duties a pleasure. I'm impressed by the thoughtfulness, civility and knowledge of the majority of HAIF members. I've found the community has been, for the most part, self-regulating. Only in the most blatant cases of abuse have we had to step in. A confession: I no longer read every post on the Forum. At one time I felt it was my duty; however, due to time restraints (and my antiquated dial-up internet connection) I'm no longer able to do so. A pity, because there's so much good information here. However, I think it's important to have diverse sources of information - and also, to occasionally pry myself off the internet and experience the 'real' world. If someone knows how to cram more than 24 hours into a day, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouCityGirl Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 What I like about this board really is the fact that the mods don't have big heads. I know some groups who have their favorites and no matter what those favorites do they can get away with anything. But I like the fact a mod is almost on all the time too! and the no shouting match thing too!! I hate it when people come on here and think they can start sh** and rile up other people on here. I also hate spammers on boards too! I LOVE the pictures (to show off to people who aren't from here too!!)

Lowbrow Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I used to check here hourly but now I log in about 3 times a day during the week and check new posts. I probably read about 1 in 4 posts just because I don't feel I have the time to read it all.I have alot of favorite posters and I tend to look for their posts.
