I really do like Entrecard.  I really do.  However, some of the missteps that have occurred over are just crazy.  One of the ongoing missteps is their moderators on their forums.  This was an issue a while back before.  New forums popped up due to the censorship that a lot of the members were feeling on the Entrecard forums.  Seriously, that was how bad it got.

Now, I thought that was over and done with.  We were told that wouldn’t happen anymore and blah blah blah.  Well, I learned firsthand myself how much crap that was (I’m a little irritated . . . can you tell?)  Now, I have moderated before (I was moderator at the Izea forums over a year, so I know what a pain it can be.  However, we were never ever ever allowed to delete anything unless it was spam.)  Now, the thread in question is this one: http://entrecard.com/forums/7/15804/#p=21.  Now, they posted a question and people started responding. I happened to be one of them. And my response got deleted since he (the moderator who started the question) didn’t like the answer. He also removed the reference to another forum called Firestorm.   I’m sorry, you can’t ask a question on a public forum and then start deleting the answers you don’t like. Sorry, that is crap. The part that I especially love is that other forums are listed there. His reasoning? Firestorm and Forum Finder (which is the one I listed) are too close to what Entrecard’s forum does (huh?).  I wouldn’t be half as ticked if he didn’t leave other forums up there that do the same darn thing.  I don’t understand the double standard.  I am not one to kiss ass which is probably why my comment is gone (I’ve left two more comments questioning why — we’ll see how long those last).

Now, I don’t own either forum that got taken off the list.  I get no benefit for writing this post, besides releasing some of my anger.  I just am sick and tired of Entrecard’s double standard when it comes to their forums.  Obviously, the only way to get your posts to say is to kiss up or keep your opinions to yourself (which I would think is counterproductive on a forum).

Let me know your thoughts.

Yes, today is my birthday.  Since the laptop I bought earlier this year was my early birthday present, I didn’t get anything from Bill besides a card and a bag of M&Ms.  We are suppose to head up to Green Bay tomorrow, but we are suppose to get up to 8 inches of snow.  Depending on how bad the weather gets determines whether or not we are still going.  Do I pack?  Do I not?

The other cool thing that happened today was that I found I am a betatester for Social Spark.  I get to test it out before it goes live. Pretty cool, huh?

I thought we left the crappy weather in Chicago. However, it looks like we brought it with us. I have been up since 4 am, but I wanted to post that we made it here! I love it! Our hotel is nicer than my house. I took a few pictures for you all.

Here’s the kitchen:

The dining area:

The living room:

Our bedroom:

And lastly, the bathroom:

I can’t believe we are going to be staying in this room for a week! So what do you guys think? Nice, huh? We have a great view, but since it is dark, I’ll get a picture in the morning.

Today has been a really long day. Our plane got delayed and our flight was like being squished in a sardine can. However, we got here, the kids are doing great, and I almost feel like we are on our honeymoon again. Unfortunately, we both are severely jet lagged right now. Bill fell asleep almost instantly after we got here (which is why I am on the internet right now). I brought a couple of books to read, but I’d rather be playing here.

I hope to post a little more later in the week and let you know what we have been up to!

We got a little present in the mail for Valentine’s Day:

We have enjoyed what we found inside.  Mommy ate the chocolate.  Madison ate anything that was sugar.  There was a red sucker in there that Madison’s decided to put into Will’s hair and turn in pink.  Good times I tell you.  Good times.  We also found these:

Cute, huh?  lol  This is what Will thought of whole thing:

No, that isn’t candy.  Its a little heart guy made out of plastic.  He tried to eat the tissue paper everything was wrapped in first and then settled on this guy.

Thanks Izea for the surprise gift!  It’s my first Postie Pack.
