CAMELOT FANTASIES

that is a great post lady TT.


I think we have just the right number of admin and global mods here for now. we appear to be making progress at the moment so we will just leave all that alone.

my big concern was that if we are to keep moving forward then we cant really afford to look too goofy with 20 admin members and nearly just as many members at the time. it diminishes our credibility. so that was really the biggest reason at the time to eliminate some of the admin posts.


look at tennis4you. there is just one admin and that is the owner. he has a few mods and 2 global mods.

one of those global mods is never there. he was given an admin post here and he was never here either.

and when we removed his admin post, he came here and cried about it and then he deleted his own account and ran.


sid is an old friend and I will never walk away from him. Camelot needs people like sid.


we will treat him as family.


as for giving, I have given too much to too many as already.

I hardly ever have less than $6000 cash in my pocket. hell all I do is give. even money.


there are zero requirements here at Camelot. people can do whatever they please and when ever they please. there will be zero demands and zero conditions for people.

they can post anywhere and they can create a million threads if they wish. we are cool like that.



I think our greatest reward will come when we have a really cool Camelot family here that works for everybody. for members and for our guests.

I envision a Camelot family of about 300 by the end of 2015. at that point I can probably get us some advertising here and we can start earning some money.

our greatest reward is not an admin post. our greatest reward will be a cool place that we all can call home.



large numbers is not where its at: I know of several forums that have 3000-4000 members that have little or no activity.


small family/society of about 300 is where its at.

I totally understand, being overly generous can be both a blessing and a curse, but there's a biblical scripture that I rely on in these situations. I can't remember where it's located, I'll look it up later and modify this post, but it says,

"Don't cast your pearls before swine, for they will turn around and rend you."

I think that's very accurate. Everyone doesn't deserve our best efforts, because some people will misinterpret our good intentions. Instead of seeing it as an act of kindness from someone who enjoys giving, they actually think that they factor into your decision to give.

It seems to me that you are accustomed to winning and getting your way, through your efforts of course, and instead of hoarding your blessings you like to pass the blessings on, but sometimes you forget that most people are not like that. Many have a warped idea regarding kindness and morality, just tune into Judge Judy and watch the number of people who will ask for a loan from a plaintiff and then vehemently assert that it was a "gift." It's more common than you can even imagine.

Anyway, there will always be those who don't understand the blessing, but in the extending you got CETSvids, who is an integral part of Camelot's current and future success, so you did the right thing. CETSvids was one who was able to receive the gift and has multiplied his contributions to this forum a hundredfold.

In essence, never regret the kindness that you extend in the short run, for it is in the long run that you will benefit, simply by the caliber of people who come, stay, and contribute to the overall good of the venture.

On another note, I went to "the other place" and had a really good time. I was careful to sidestep GOAT and prediction thread, but I got a ton of laughs reading the inane posts of the usual suspects. Having not been there for a while I realized that there are a lot of great posters over there who have been obscured by the incessant foolishness, but in time, I am hoping that many of them will find their way here.

(Although, I am enjoying the intimate setting here, because I don't think it will stay that way for the future).
