Willoughby Station

More of the same.

Ok, so Will took down two people's name calling posting, one was mine, one was a Board members. Now a fake name appears insulting my web site? Coincidence? You decide. More like a pattern if you ask me.

Homer was right, I can track New Visitors, Repeat Visitors, Unique Visitors, and Page Viewings. Your ISP assigns you an IP address, I can tell which of you have AOL, Comcast, TDS DSL, ATT dial-up, employment access, etc. On the Discussion Board I can ban IP addresses that post insulting anonymous attacks. That is why certain people have not posted anonymously there. But that doesn't stop them from visiting, does it? Tell the truth. I know the truth, you visit despite your denials.

90% support? I bet if you track the IP's on this site, 90% of the community have never logged on to www.neighborhoodlink.com/howmanythingsdoIhavetotype/willoughbystationinmountjuliet. Can I prove that? No. Neither can the Board prove that they have 90% support.

Let's compare the quality of websites. Let's compare Links. Let's compare quality of community information, ie press references about neighborhood kids. (One previous poster wanted that in the newsletter.) I give positive info about our kids, all I ever have heard out the the BOARD is how bad our kids are, you would think every kid under 20 is a vandal in WS.

Postings might be slow to non-existent compared to this commercialized blast them with ads site the Board embraces, that is correct. Could it be because the Board and their good neighborly friends cannot post anonymous attacks there without fear of exposure?

It's amazing how hits jump to www.willoughbystation.com once a thread here gets hot. The Board seems to run there to look to see what I've posted there. Thank you.

That site costs $14.95 a year to operate, and is non-commercial. The Board site bombards you with advertisements to buy something. Gee, this site is sort of like their wasteful newsletter, full of glossy things, non useful.

Compare the two for content and ''positive'' things about the community, and info you can use. There is no comparison.

For the record, I sent Will an email last month of 7 or 8 things that needed to be updated on this site. Most were over a year old. To the whole Board I will say this: You are welcome, and I forgive your hatefulness.

Stand up and have a nice day.

Thank You

Just visited the Willoughbystation.com website. Thank you for pointing it out for me. Barnes is right, it has a lot more useful info than this website.

Guess you'll never post there again with your Comcast account, he's banned you from the Discussion Forum. Did not get to see your message, but apparently it was more insulting than this one. I thought it was funny he knows your OS and Browser info as well.

I'll skip on your claim of 90% support. Too funny.

Hits

The forum hits at the other site are averaging 11 unique visitors per day for the month to date. It tracks it per unique visitor. Neighborhood Link counts total page hits, regardless if it is one visitor or 5000 visitors. So here if I click on Refresh 4000 times, it will run up Will's number by 4000. That is not reflective of uniqueness of visitors.

I just had an email the other day from someone who visited the site. How did they find out? I cannot tell you that out of confidentiality, but needless to say the Board would need fresh Depends if I told you, and someone would definitely get an earful. Let's just say positive news gets passed around too, despite your efforts.

My point is the traffic is fine, the postings are slow. There is a difference.

You cannot compete on depth of useful content, so let's insult my site for not having hateful fake name postings against me and other who dare to question the Board. You did try to remedy that by posting a hateful posting, so I banned your IP. You cannot answer Penny, so let's insult other people. Why the meaness and non-neighborly attitude?

You keep proving my point about double standards by the webmaster here. Keep it coming.

90%?

90%? Where did you get that? Did the board have a polling company do a survey? Rose colored glasses maybe? Maybe the board just thinks they have 90% support because the controversial issues are ignored and deleted.

I find it ludicrous that the board engourages use of this site (and are proud when hits go up!), yet fail to address legitimate issues posted here and even get mad when the use of this site doesn't meet their arbitrary standard.

Nevertheless, let's say for instance that the 90% is correct. Just because 90% support the board, does that mean that they can't question bad decisions and demand change? The 2 have nothing to do with each other.
