@scottalanmiller yeah kind of answered myself while I was typing away lol
That's why I asked the question that way. Leading you to the answer. Sometimes figuring out the wording is all that it takes.

Other than he said he was working as one and he has been posting pictures all morning of the work he's been doing as a cop?

I remember years ago he posted that he was cleaning up his feeds and removing some posts, etc....
Just said it was for a job and that is all he could say. -

Nearly time for some wine. I've been having red wine every day for about ten days now. Trying to make it a lifestyle.

Now that we have Internet, we are working on unpacking and getting things set up around the new house. Dominica managed to get a hot shower, I had an ice cold one
We have very limited water here, which is going to be a huge pain. But the wine is excellent and the Internet seems decent right now.Obviously then, the resolution is simple: bathe in wine, OR drink all the wine before bathing so that you'll never notice the cold water.
A more complicated solution would be a tankless heater.http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/2900000/hedonism-bot-futurama-2942551-500-375.jpg

Got another random muting. For this thread... the post about how did the guy come up with FreeNAS or very out of date Windows that got 35 up votes... that got me muted?
https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1958428-freenas-vs-windows-server
Clearly public opinion is not popular with someone.

I wonder how big of a sh*tstorm you would cause if you suddenly stopped posting completely... just disappear one day and watch the backlash.

Sadly, I think the answer would be, not many would even take note. The "uality" of advice would reach Dilbertian proportions.

I just quit messing with Spiceworks altogether, both at the community and in the application. The last update broke device-owner relationships and it seemed that Support didn't care. I had posted last Wednesday and they didn't bother to answer/acknowledge the post until Monday. Either due to lack of people there or low morale.
When they did respond, they didn't offer to remote in and look at the problem, but was confronted with (I'm not getting other reports and I'm not able to reproduce the problem) kind of thing. I am not too concerned with restoring the data as we're moving to another platform and almost to the point of not needing it anymore.
Kind of lost hope and faith in Spiceworks, as a company.

It's really sad that so many people are leaving Spiceworks due to so many fixable problems. Interestingly, it's all the fault of the CEO because that's where all blame eventually lies in a company, despite the 3 envelope joke. Since we know that Jay has a marketing background, it's super obvious to see why things are failing at a company that, at it's core and slogan, was designed for IT. They've shifted to marketing their mistake, the community, and it's clearly hurting them. I predict that, unless Jay realizes that his boat is headed for Davy Jones' Locker, that ship is going to sink before anyone realizes it, if it hasn't already. People are already leaving the app and community in rafts and competitors like ManageEngine are just cheering.
At the very least, we can thank them for bringing people like Scott and most of the people in this community together. I hope that MangoCon picks up steam and is a viable event to replace SpiceWorld when it finishes circling the drain.
Should we start a deadpool on their community?

Actually it was a marketing company from day one. The IT was just happenstance that that is where they decided that there was a marketing opportunity. It's like a normal magazine, sure people think of the magazine in the context of its content, but the magazine is really just a vehicle for the ads. That's what SW is and was meant to be from creation time - an advertising vehicle. That the ads are focused on IT was just because that is where they figured out a unique niche that others had not taken advantage of yet. But they are a marketing company and were from the moment that they started. Nothing wrong with that, but the belief that they are an IT company (which is really far from what they are) or a software company (you can make a point here, but their software is not their business, it's ancillary and it isn't their strength) has disillusioned a lot of people because they don't behave like either of those and don't have the expertise, market knowledge and such that people expect, but it is a false expectation. If you think of them as a marketing company, they basically make sense from the beginning.
