Really?

hckynutjohn — Wed, 24 Jun 2015 17:52:20 GMT

While not being among the smart of the human race, I am smart enough to know a ruse when I see it and/or hear it. This has absolutely zero to do with politics, and everything to being led to think "things will be better and more fun". I love/loved seeing many of the technological advancements and being an integral part of them since the 1950's, I also know enough about technology to be able to decipher an "upgrade" from a ruse. Not being an insider on the "upgrade", I first wonder about the why? Secondarily, I wonder at what level the decision to "upgrade?" went in the decision making. Most of us know the history of The Trojan Horse, and what seems to have been perpetuated here to me, has a striking resemblence. Since nobody seems to be able to answer me as to why I can no longer use my long held, and only "nic", I will sign off here typing it now.----------hckynut(john)

Oh John ... It's so good to see you. Glad you came back to enjoy this fun. LOL Now we need to get them to add a SPORTS forum back so that we can discuss the important stuff. Hope you, Cindy and all are doing okay. Don't let this change over get your BP up. YOu'll always be hckynut to us.

Have you spoken to anyone about getting your nic back, hckynut? That would frustrate me, too. I think you should give this place a bit longer to fall into place.

On the upside look at my readable ipad font

Wish I could quote though...

MalteseMomma, I am not talking about leaving and I really appreciate your comment. If and when I leave this BB, I can assure you it will not be of my choosing. I apologize if this looked like a farewell thread as that was/is not my intent.------------hckynut(john)

So sad that the Q's new forum format has ruined your day. Sleep on it, and please return soon!

You've hit the nail on the head, John! However, all the people you help will still be needing you! If you don't post here any more, the BAD GUYS will have won!

See No Evil!!!

Hi Hckynut,

If you e-mail us at QVCSocialTeam@QVC.com we can look into that for you and see if we can get your old nickname back.

Whew!!! I thought you were contemplating leaving and am glad that is not so!! I don't know you like so many of the others but know you have dealt with health issues along with Cindy and really inspired many!! Hokeynut (aka John) I know you are about my age and if you can figure this board out, I eventually will too--maybe long about 2016!!

Brittany - hi.

I'm not trying to insert myself all up in John's business, however when I did a search on him he has been an established poster with the Hckynut name for some time. (okay, I will now butt out of it)

I was just going to ask the very same question, it seems that the opposite is true and that the moderators have caught on to who really are the true bad guys. Notice the mass exodus?

Absolutely not true. The "mass exodus" is a result of not wanting to deal with this new, confusing board, when there is another one which is very easy to use. They are deleting posts "here" left and right but leaving the posters who are writing them. For now, anyway. Those posters need to be banned permanently, not just their posts. Things would be a lot nicer around here without the nasty retorts of a couple of posters who just can't seem to blend in.

I suspect the problem is with the parentheses around your name (John). Probably, for some reason, the new format doesn't like the use of "special" or "reserved" characters. So, by eliminating them from your "new" nic, you've eliminated the problem.

This is only a guess on my part, but I can't think of any other possible reason.

But it's good to know you're sticking with us, John!

LOL, while I can't speak for that poster, I took her words to mean that the people who decided to "upgade" this forum are the bad guys.

Now, I could very well be wrong, it happens. :-)
