ECN5247 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Miami-vice.org is a disaster. It has zero real content. It has become a shadow of its former self. The site had great people, intleligent people, people who had countless informations and insigt to everthingh vice and where did they go? It was fun, it was intelligient, it was witty. I DON'T KNOW! Maybe the powers that be can clear that up for us. HELL you can't even sighn up without special permission from the POPE!Now, we turn our attentions to vice-sw...the site to end all sites and what do we get...flash color, no "service unavaillable" and that's about it! There are no topics of substance, there are no interesting discussions, all we get are episisode reviews on show that were filmed and released 25years ago!There is no talk of what it was like to drive the bowys around...what it was like on the set on a day-to-day basi....how the actors got along with other actors and the crew. How the crew itself got along. In other words no one here is learning ANHYTHING new about the show...they just rehashing the trired old posts from the other site...even the members are a litte reticent to come over.DOES ANYONE HAVE AND ANSWER THAT MAKES SENSE???:radar::radar:::radar::radar::radar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Ferrariman Posted June 9, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 MV.org has indeed become stagnant but it has much more than zero content. This site, mv-.ws (not sw) is relatively new and has a ways to go yet. Nothing of interest here for you? No exciting topics? Hey, here's an idea, start some! There is no talk of what it was like to drive the bowys around...what it was like on the set on a day-to-day basi....how the actors got along with other actors and the crew. How the crew itself got along.Sounds like someone longing for the old days on .org and a missing cameraman. Not likely. If this site doesn't grab you, you can always go back to .org. If you're not already a member I can get you in.SincerelyThe Pope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, if there is something you want to discuss, start discussing it! This is a community after all, it is shaped by all of us. Secondly, I thought .org had lots of valuable information, but that is subjective. There is a very good possibility that .org may be gone as of October and everything migrated here- which will blow the doors of .ws wide open.Thirdly, it's summertime! Most of us have less time to spend on on our PC's so traffic is inevitably going to decrease. ECN, I'm glad you've shared your opinion with us. If there are some things we are overlooking, let's bring them in! Let's make the site all it can be. Now that you've voiced some frustration, let's channel it into something positive.

Some of us know where and how he went. And it was done in very poor taste. But, this is not about him.What is has to do with is that with all due respect (and I know this site is new) the whole thing has gotten pretty stale. It seems that the mainstay has become a site for goofy personals and borderline soft porn instead of Miami Vice. There is absolutely no meat and actually, if you really look at the "old days" on .org...they were actually more Rocky Road instead of today's Vanilla.Just one person's opinion.

You have no interest in joining .org but you've obviously paid very close attention to things that happened in the past. You know about the group of ****-stirrers that in your own words "ruined a good thing" and yet getting rid of them was done in poor taste? I will agree 100% with you on the goofy personals and soft porn posts which is why a separate section was created for them. If you don't like them, there's an easy solution, don't go to that section. Yes the whole thing may have gotten a bit stale. There's always room for improvement but how much more can we possibly dig out of a 25 year old show? But I still see the enthusiasm in the members here. Some are new and most have made the jump from .org (and still remain there too) and it's beginning to become a tight group of people. Now with all that being said I will tell you what I get from your post. You say you've seen the things that happened on .org before and want no part of it . I'm willing to bet that you've witnessed it all first hand as a former member. It's good to know that Rick is not missing and the fact that you say some of "us" know where and how he went and are not happy with how it was done just further convinces me that you are one of those former members that were booted from .org So what should I call you? Rick? srobak? earthtoneless? I've been doing the mod thing for quite a while now, so go ahead and tell me i'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although I do frequent the 'goofy' threads- Shill always makes me smile at the start of a work day) We are becoming a tight nit group with no BS and minimal negativity.

crockettstheme Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I find this thread quite bizarre! I used to post on a different forums which i'd visit almost daily. However the fun people went one by one and were replaced by argumentative idiots - i didnt like what they were posting, so guess what???? I didnt bother logging in again! If you dont like the topics of conversation, start your own! Tell people who you are, what you like, what you doI'm sure thats what you do with your "human" friends. This is undoubtedly the friendliest forum page I've been on. I like the fun we have on here.If you havent got something productive to say - dont say anything!

Administrators Ferrariman Posted June 9, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I can guarantee you that the "argumentative idiots" will not survive here. Not just because of me but because there are several admins and mods running this show. If there is a problem that we miss, please bring it to our attention. I don't want good members being scared away by trolls and troublemakers. Been there, done that on .org and I'm not doing it again, promise!

Morgana Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Well, as one of the "goofy thread" posters, I thank you for giving us a section of our own... we all love the show but, as has been said, it is 25 years old now and pretty much anything that was going to be discovered about it has been. If that means that a group of good people with a common interest hang out together and chat about what may seem banal to others then...JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceman Cometh Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I wondered how long it would take the old Gang of Malcontents to show up at this new site (it actually took longer than I though it would). I guess E=MC2 or whatever the hell his name is will have to go back to throwing darts at the picture of Don Johnson hanging in his super-secret clubhouse.I think we've all learned from the past, and we're not doomed to repeat it. There will be no more Jim Joneses or their Kool-Aid allowed here. Deal with it guys. You're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
