Just letting you know this so you won't think someone is going around removing avatars and profile pics---every couple of days, sometimes every day, this site accidentally and automatically deletes avatars and profile photos---no one is doing this on purpose, it's just happening on its own.

Some Squad Leaders are changing a thread or two to a "sticky", and the next day it is gone and back to just being a regular thread. Again, there is no one doing this, it's just a site glitch.

Not happening every day, but often enough. I post all this just to let you know what's going on regarding your deleted avatars and profile pictures.

so any idea as to who is running the show around here? I never see an administrator on the sites or anything anymore..

Pat, I heard the site changed hands, but the Squad Leaders are still out and about, although they cannot do status changes, as when a poolee becomes a Marine, and wants his or her status changed, Squad Leaders can't do it----and regarding profile pics and avatars, I don't think it affects everyone across the board, because it's random.

No one is running the show, I thought you knew that we are on a ghost ship. We got on but we can't get off.<script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/b87d0b65/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script>

it sure would be nice to have some one that would answer questions and get back with people though, to me, it's not very Marine to just ignore people when they send inquiries..

As it was before my hiatus, I still have no idea what's going on.

And I just noticed my avatar & signature is missing.........
I think I will have to fix that.

Hi Lisa---they'll be missing every few days, or maybe once every 2 weeks, but at least it's not someone at the controls messing around. Just a computer problem.

What do you mean its not very marine... this situation is just like being back in the real Corps; Nobody knows why we're doing what we're doing or who is ordering it done but we just keep doing it anyway in the hope that some day it will be finished but when it is we'll never know cause no one will tell us. Happy Birthday Marines

Is that what happened to the chuckles of the day and the other thread with the girls in lingerie?

We don't---see post 4.

And with regard to post 13, I think any deletion of threads has to be done on purpose, not by computer glitch---apparently to clear up some space on the site.
But it was done indiscriminately, as some classic threads from long ago were deleted, as well as the 2 areas mentioned in post 13.

Well let's see ,if your a free member you don't rate an avatar or Signature.
That's the price of not paying your dues.
At least that's what I was told when I let mine laps behind...

I'm a free member and have an avatar ... don't have the signature though, which probably comes with the price of paid membership.

Can I use my Credits to get a paid membership? :D

Ellie's husband, retired MSgt Mark Schallow (aka fontman) passed away last week. Many of us remember her as The Drifter's wife when the site was founded. Posting this here since a lot of the old timers are posting here.

The avatars are free---but something happened to a lot (but not all) of the signatures months ago, and the members never could get them back or put them up again, for some unknown reason.

This forum is ran very unprofessional and inefficiently, I have PM'd a few Squad Leaders and Admins concerning a number of things and have never heard back and haven't seen the result of what I was requesting......so I am still here and will continue to post and call people out.

When I was a Squad Leader I made sure i ALWAYS replied to a PM with some kind of answer.
