There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Thanks for the share.
I'll get flamed sprayed but I think that bullying is BS and a product of how we raise our kids and ourselves.
That situation was no different years and years ago. You got picked on because basically everyone is different and those that chose to pop you in your pie hole for doing so or helping others who got picked on are the ones who succeeded then and now When is the last time you saw a real fight where people settled things like you were getting picked on? Heck, in HS I was 6ft and maybe 130 and was picked on/bullied daily. Got tired of it so Started working out summer 10th grade and by mid junior year was a clean 185. Only got picked on bullied by the chicks then. Grow a pair society already is my opinion.

Outstanding quote from the clip; "If we cared as much about each other as we do about our food, the world might be a better place."
Substitute 'possessions, political and religious ideologies' for 'food' and it still makes a lot of sense to me.

.....and that’s another pet hate that seems more prevalent these days, CMB. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, (mine is along the same lines as yours) and everyone is entitled to express it, but so frequently these days you see people getting abused for having a differing opinion. Debate the issue, by all means, but don’t resort to name calling simply because someone doesn’t agree with your point of view.

Definition of 'bullying'
Definition of bullying :abuse and mistreatment of someone vulnerable by someone stronger, more powerful, etc.
Bullying is the abuse of power by one person over another; it's rampant in our culture. Harvey Weinstein is the perfect example, but there are many others on and off the playground.

Beat that bully
I thank God that my dad was a boxer in New York City in the early part or the 1900's.He taught me how to box, move, parry a punch, counter punch, punch in combinations----' all at the end of his left hook. It didn't take but twice for the bullies to leave me alone. Being a little guy of the wrong religion I was an easy target. Also started working out a lot at 11 years old and by high school went to wrestling and gymnastics for sports.
Bullies---- just fight back-- a punch or two to the nose will stop them cold.

My dad was a lightweight boxer in the British Army. Unfortunately by the time I came along he had 'found Jesus' and given up his old life (ballroom dancing, playing trumpet in a dance band, motorcycles) to 'follow the Lord'. He told me to turn the other cheek because that's what Jesus would want. So, I never learned at home to defend myself. I did learn in the Navy that bullies had other weaknesses that could be exploited if you were smart about it. I've never had to throw a punch and never had to take one either. We all have to do what we have to do to survive in the world.

IMO: Name calling is a sign of immaturity. Using it shows others that you either do not have a clue or a true answer to the subject matter at hand.
When one does not have an answer to the problem, discussion, etc. the subject gets relegated to name calling or a completely different answer than what the question asked.
We have also seen this many times and from some interesting people.

I’d be very surprised if we haven’t all “lost it” and done this at some time, AK.
I know I have

There is always someone more powerful than you and if they choose to, they can make your life miserable in more ways than one. It has nothing to do with 'letting' bullying happen - it happens because the victim feels powerless to stop it from happening.
Look at the OP video; did that kid bring it on himself? Did he have the power to prevent it from happening?
Did the young actresses have the power to stop Weinstein's behavior? No, they only had the power to resist and walk away, knowing that it may be the end of their career.
The real cowards were the ones who had the opportunity to intervene and didn't.

Very educational commercial, point being if it doesn't effect 'YOU' or cost 'YOU' money people don't care. it takes not just adults
but other kids to make a difference in something like that.
