Thanks.. .we'll take care of it in an upcoming release

OK.. we're looking into this.

Nope sorry.

hehe good decision :)

That would take forever... but you can go through each city..

Just click on the States link at the bottom of the page

You're just seeing a cached page. If something changes, then you will
see the new content.

You're probably refreshing the topic listing right? Looking for new
topics? If new topics are posted, you'll see them...

who cares about the republicans lol..
the only republican i like is Arnold :)

I saw Obama today on Oprah (my girl uhhh was watchin it), he seems like
a solid guy.

the best thing to do is check the urban legend sites to see if what
you're reading is for real.

ie: snopes.com

if it's not there, then go ahead and post it :)

there's nothing wrong with drinking.

it's a common way for people to connet. obviously if you are the type
that can't handle your alcohol and get abrasive or start acting like a
fool you're not going to be doing good business deals.

but if you can have a good time with people in a social atmosphere,
that's where a lot of business is done.

business is all about relationships and social drinking is a just a way
to connect... golf and poker are other ways people connect (sometimes
with drinks there too)

Well every forum is really a platform for debates... we don't need to
create a specific forum just for debates. There are plenty of excellent
heated debates that occur in the "normal" forums.

However, we may create a forum to throw all the trash-talking in.

Hehehe..

Please don't think we want everyone here to be singing koom-by-ya
together or something. Debates and different points of view are
absolutely wanted.

What we don't want is just people cursing at each other all day. It's
just not that interesting and turns off new members.

We're all human, it's ok if we make mistakes now and then. We just
didn't want it to become a pattern...

Thanks for the support, we're really excited about the future of this
site...

(our notes - written in July 2006)

JustSayHi is going to be the largest singles community in the world. We
think there are two simple things that we must do in order to achieve
his goal.

1) Users must be able to meet others on the site

2) Users should never have to pay to use the site

It takes a LOT of hard work, to make it that simple.

Here are some of the tools people will use to connect with one another:

A) Profiles - this allows a user to express themselves. In addition to
describing themselves and their interest, they will be to upload
photos, audio and video content that expresses who they are.


B) Message Boards = this lets users have conversations with each other
without having to be online at the same time. it also provides great
user generated content for others to read


C) Secret Match - this feature allows a user (user A) to express
interest in another user (user B) anonymously. if user B also expresses
interest in user A, a secret match is made and both users are notified.
using collaborative filtering, this feature will make search results be
more accurate.

D) Events - this feature is centered around something to do. users can
post an event that is coming up and other people can join. the event
might be for 1 person (ie: I have a spare ticket to the Opera on such
and such date, looking for a woman to join me) or for a group (ie: Let's
all go party and XYZ bar on Saturday!).

E) Compatability Tests - users will be able to make and take quizes and
tests for compatability matching.

i use firefox... just use that.. it has has tabbed browsing for ages

if every other word is a cuss word, there's not much communicating going
on..

everyone is encouraged to voice their opinions. we don't except
everyone to agree. but we do think that there can be a common level of
respect.

its very simple.. you can talk about sex topics in the SEX & DATING
forum. People are in that forum for THAT reason.

People aren't in the General Discussion forum in order to hear a bunch
of drama.

If it is desired, I can create a FLAME WAR forum where people can attack
each other all day. This is where we would also move arguing topics.

Doesnt that make sense? We're not trying to censor people, just
maintain a level of decency and respect that encourages communication..

I've been involved with online community for over 20 years. My last
company, ezboard.com, is the largest message board community in the
world.

People fighting in the forums constantly is one of the most common
reasons communities die. Other people don't participate because it is
simply not fun anymore...

we're looking into this everyone.. hold tight

sheesh...

if i were to chase down every person that called me a name, i'd be
spending all my time fighting and chasing..

glad i didn't because then this site would have never been built, or any
of the other things in my life

we really hope we don't have to start policing the forums because people
can't learn the most basic rule of how to have harmony on the forums.

it's so simple.

if people say crap to you, or call you name, or do other things - just
IGNORE it.

it usually goes away. if you feed into it, it gets worse.

are you going to go berserk everytime someone calls you a name? it's
just silly to let a complete and utter stranger get under your skin
especially when it is their intention to do so.

so please, just IGNORE the post. or use the REPORT ABUSE feature and
over time their account gets flagged and eventually banned if it
reported enough..

the foul language that has been happening lately is just not tolerated.

if you don't like them, ignore them.

if you want to post, send them a message.. keep it off the forums - this
isn't your personal place to rant

and if you didn't make the best decisions then, do so now. starting
with yourself... doing what is healthy you for.

for each of us, it's something different, but we usually know what it
is.

i think the advice of joining a support group makes a lot of sense.

community helps.
