Calling out to Weezard for LED advice

[Dutch Pimp]

How come you never started an album here? (in your profile)...your other one rocks...:thumbsup:

[headshake]

we totally need a DIY section (especially for LEDs)! something that can be a little more "clean" and flow better than a monster like this! what do you guys and gals think?

and keep up the good work guys, inspiring stuff!

Well, thanks for the compliment, D.P.

I hesitate, with cause.
Simply said, I don't trust this board.

"Server is too busy at the moment" so bugger off for a while.:wtf:

It takes time and effort to create a decent album.

I put a lot of time and effort into " The perfect led light" thread here.
Best thread ever!:thumbsup:
Then, one day poof! Gone!
No explanation just gone.

A short while later the whole board goes tits-up and I'm looking at a "go play our crappy games screen" for weeks.
Again, no explanation, no ETA, no regrets:wtf:

I realize it's free, and I appreciate that, but so are the well run reliable boards that treat their contributors with some regard.
I'd rather pay a fee than get disrespected.

I'm not a patient person, can ya tell?
The only reason I still post here is because Crunchypants asked me to help him build a light.
He's sharp and entertaining.
It has been fun and rewarding for both of us but I think we're both fed-up with typing long posts that won't post!

Can open, worms all ovah da place!
Catch ya later, I must now go and be anointed to prepare for my banning

Aloha,
Weezard

well i don't want to loose all of you guys and your valuble information! something must be done. if the owner of the boards doesn't want to do anything, then perhaps something else should happen?

What do you suggest, Shake?
If I knew how to fix this board, there'd be less whining and more fixin'.:jointsmile:

I'm all ears.

well the only thing i can think of is finding a new home. it's obvious the owner of the board doesn't care.

i know this might not be the most logical, or easy solution but it's a starting point. i've come to enjoy what we have here and would like it to continue. it's already bad enough after the "big outage of '09"!

i'm also open to suggestions and ideas. i'm by no means the ring leader here!

She went down, with all hands in ought 9.

Most of us washed a-shore at icmag.
Stinky attic showed up then dissapeared again.
They have a thread called led lab 2009 that is getting interesting.
Though I must say cdot has better archives and stickys.
I keep my photo albums there 'cause, so far, their server is rock solid 24/7.
No tacky ads of half naked girls bathing in phony buds either.
No reason to keep all your eggs in one forum.

Woops, drifted way off-topic in DH's thread.
Sorry 'bout that, DH.

Been sending folks here when they ask about DIY.
If I get enough requests I'll re-start the DIY part over there and use the photo album as the "sing along".

Aloha

i don't know much about icmag. i was thinking of getting some boards going. but that is just a thought. perhaps a site, with a nice DIY repository, including LED light arrays, etc. of course the weeze, dreaded and the like would be welcome and wanted!

sorry to ruin your thread dreaded! it's just that we have lost enough memebers and i just think why wash into the masses some where else. again, that's just me.

i just put it in here so i didn't start a new thread called "hey, i'm starting my own boards!"

it would be a collective and by no means a dictatorship!

sorry again!

This thread has written a suicide note!

And Weezard!

half naked girls bathing in phony buds

Dat girl bathed in buds ain't half naked. I b'lieve she all nekkid under dem buds. :thumbsup: (Not that I ever looked really close, kef, kef...) To think, I have you check my math!

Found the led lab 2009 thread, probably check in over there once the skirmishes settle down.

Shake, we can always be cyber-buddies. We can chat anywhere. Extracting somewhat technical stuff and writing it so people can understand it is mentally tasking, though. When the board crashes I lose flow of my thoughts, and often my typing is lost. I hate typing. Doing it twice is annoying. Weeze seems to feel the same. He has a more serious translation problem though, because he's got enough info to really make yer head spin if he spills too much at once. He's breaking the details into manageable chunks for those of us trying to come up to speed. Gotta go, :stoned: Later on, Hermie

UH OH, the LEDers are not happy. Sure sign of change in the wind.

Hey DreadedHermie, Weezard, Headshake,

Please let me know what you decide to do or go. I just realized the other night that I'm not going to be here much longer. Things seem to have change around here, and not for the better. In looking around I saw Kanna was at IC and In my opinon he has alot of knowledge in the lighting and LED field. I know he rubbed some the wrong way but I found him to be extremely helpful.

I know I'm going to need more help when I build my next LED/hybred light.

The very reason I came here last year, was that the LED DIY threads where here. The thread started by Physicsnole has more info and idea exchanges then any I've ever seen. Unfortunately impossible to wade thru and find anything there anymore. or well.

What would Willie do?
