Guys, I need to clear this up for you

[caliskimmer]

I am going to clear some things up that you guys may have misinterpreted.

1. Why are you here if you have an Evo?
A: Well, first of all, it is my job to moderate all of the forums on AndroidCentral along with the other admins and super mods in order to make the website a better place to be on. Finally, I need to say that I have an Epic to use every day. I used to have an Epic, but now a family member has it, so I can access it at pretty much any time in the afternoon. I've done basically everything with the Epic including OCing, ROM flashing, etc.

2. So even if you have to be here, why do you keep talking about the Evo?
A: I simply just like comparing devices and since I have already had the Epic, I like it to the Evo. There are also some false statements or uncertainties posted here about the Evo and I just want to clarify these points, so the thread does not look as biased towards the Epic. Why do I do this? Simple. I read a lot of hype about the Epic from reviewers and how it is better than the Evo in pretty much every form. I was dismayed to find out that the Epic was not for me and I had a hard time to switch back to the Evo (Sprint problems).

-My message here is to read both sides of the argument if you are choosing a phone and then follow what you think is correct. Both of these phones are so great, that it almost comes down to your needs. Unfortunately, both of the phones had things that I needed, but not one possessed all of them.

3. Why do you close threads having to do with the Epic?
A: The thread was either a duplicate or irrelevant to the phone. If you participated or saw the flaming against me this morning, then you saw that I closed a thread having to do with Epic positivity. I only closed this thread because we already have a stickied Pros and Cons thread for the Epic. It just happens by sheer coincidence that I countered some points against one of our members and I meant to say that it was all my opinion and it might have been taken the wrong way.



So to conclude, I'd like to say I'm a fan of the Epic and really don't mean to put an end to some positive aspects of the Epic. By trying to keep things neutral, it looks like I may have caused a misunderstanding in both the Evo and the Epic forums.

I'm really disappointed in the few users that have been targeting caliskimmer. It doesn't matter if it's a moderator, a nanite, a Blackberry user or an iPhone user. Everyone in these forums needs to respect the other members. Please review the forum rules if you have not done so before. Breaking these rules will not be tolerated, no matter who the instigator or the target is.

Cali,

I have been reading your posts for quite some time. They are always helpful. You post in a variety of forums, it would appear anywhere that you can help.

Keep up the great work!

i guess im not even allowed to view the rules?

its aight. i like to think im pretty respectable.

remember the golden rule: treat others as you would like to be treated.

but i think its kind of cool to have someone else compare the two. although sometimes i wish i wouldve gotten the evo haha

Wow... glad I missed the morning session I guess...

Thanx for the clarification messages cali... and BTW, based off of the few that I've encountered so far, all of the mods and admins and super mods and forum overlords (lol j/k) have been awesome and really helpful, so I don't know why there would be issues with any of them.

You should have been there for the Keith Newman vs. Epic "silly-season" crowd! Oh my, that was the biggest attack on any moderator I've ever seen in the history of my forum viewings.

Its great you own both, but I really dont think this needed to a be a sticky. There are way too many stickies already and this is not important enough to be on this list IMO.

Unfortunately, there were a few members yesterday that made this thread necessary. They have since been warned and/or issued infractions. This thread is to let everyone know that the behavior of those members is not acceptable, and to prevent future instances of such behavior. These forums are a fun and friendly place, and we plan on keeping it that way.

Wow sucks that this happened but glad to see things being handled correctly and that you guys do your best to keep this place fun and friendly. I refer anybody I run into about this site. I'm actually thinking about making like a business card or something with the website on it to give to people who have android device(s) or who are looking to get one. I never got involved in forums or even cared to in the past but this site changed all that. Love AC!!!!

I might be putting up an AC style website for my school using the vBulletin template (I hope it works, but the school is open to online changes). This site is really influential!

I would love to use vBulletin for my school's website. Is that software something you bought or something that was provided to you by the school? I thought it was pretty expensive.
