I wonder if the good folks in charge of Poal stop to consider how many visitors to this site they've discouraged from ever coming back by messing up all the titles of the posts? Changing "is" to "isn't" and "Biden" to "Trump," for example. To the casual visitor, it would just be an incoherent mess. Why would they come back a second time? And they are still doing it today, long after April 1st is passed. It really isn't funny, and it is self-defeating. The object is to increase the number of users on this site, so that it can become a significant organ of free thought and free speech. This tomfoolery isn't doing it.

AOU does not care. Never has. He treats every single user here as a hostile entity unless he has prior history with you. Last time I brought up concerns about site bugs and functionality he got but hurt and just banned me from PoalDev. I encounter devs like him in my professional life all the time. They absolutely refuse to believe that they are anything but infallible. Any disagreement with them on technical matters is blasphemy. They only listen when someone with organizational power over them (their boss) steps in and tells them to cut the shit. If AOU was on my team he would be on a PIP. PMYB2 used to keep him in check a little but now he has free reign.

I was willing to wait the day to be over the joke but you are right... now it is just driving users away.

Thing is it's his website. Make a better Poal if you want.

Make a better Poal if you want.

I tried making THIS a better Poal with offers to collaborate and reporting issues. He has his head to far up his ass power tripping. Banning poalers from PoalDev because he does not want to hear about site flaws? dickless

Care to share the code you tried to check in? Or was it just a wish list with no actual code contribution - yes it matters.

No... this will always be PMYB2's website. AOU is like a spoiled rich kid that inherited wealth

*and wrote 99% of poal's codebase

PMYB2 wasn't much of a developer.

He's a normal person with a hard shell. He's a tough nut to crack, but when you get to conversing and treat him with respect he does the same. Me and him started on a bumpy road but then we just suddenly got along and discarded our minor mutual differences which were mostly me not reading sub rules.

Simping for mods? Wow, possibly the most pathetic post yet

I think he does care

I was bitching like a little girl, about the dayum wait a minute annoying bullshit, and AOU changed it that day.

Yeah it might confuse some but as it is often said: fuk um if they can't take a joke and joke em if they cant take a fuk.

The only difference between poal and Reddit is that Reddit has thousands of faggy mods while poal only has one.

Then fuk reddit too. I'm out. I'm going to start writing to my old vietnamese pen pal (sum dumb guy) from grade school and get my news from the guy that lives behind the dumpster at the gas station.

Oh god I feel so free now. This is refreshing. I feel like a teeney bopper on qualoods again. Fairwell suckers...smell ya later

Thats the thing... if you report a problem that he actually knows how to fix everything is cool. If you report a problem that he does not know how to fix he will call it not a bug and label you a concern fag. If you dare to disagree with him on design or features he gets super butthurt.

He cares about the SITE because it makes him the center of attention and lets him power trip. He does not care about the users or the community

Maybe you are right. Yeah fuk this place I'm going back to reddit.

It's call a zero-trust security model. If you don't operate this way on the internet then you are a fool.

I went to AOU with an opportunity, offered to assist with the setup/config/testing and AOU was really positive to it, in fact it was implemented a few weeks ago. Perhaps with hundreds of items in the backlog it's really a matter of priority, and your perception doesn't match the reality of the codebase.
