AJ this is an IT community for discussing IT Pro related things. The only place we have for non-IT items is the watercloset. We really are trying to keep the sprawl of unrelated things down to just that area.

Ok guys. This is far enough. From now on any post talking about SpiceWorks etc. will be locked.

Remember to keep it Professional. Lenovo has already taken a beating today.

Welcome Sarah!

We here over at Grove Social want to say thank you to everyone for your support in getting ML off the ground. The time you take to help each other (and pick on each other). Makes all of us smile each day.

As a gentle reminder:

Please be nice boys.

Yup we are on top of it @scottalanmiller. This is a big update so we have it scheduled for this weekend.

Ok guys, while I know everyone is frustrated right now. I want to make sure this doesn't turn into a bashing thread, or I will lock it down. We are here to be a service to the IT Pro community and a fun place to hang out. Negativity breeds more negativity. Keep it fun please!

Welcome to our new members! We look forward to getting to know you better here on ML!

As a mod I will say it is hard to be a community mod, we are still small here but we still watch everything and try to stay out of the way. I hope you have noticed around here we don't really moderate much other than bad language. Even @PSX_Defector only gets words [moderated] out, his whole post stays, and for anyone that knows him or his reputation, you know what should have been there.

Moderation is not about being PC but it sounds like that is what it has turned into. I do want to point out we don't want to become the "over there" bashing society here though.

Please keep it nice people! ML is here for you to share your IT knowledge and help each out out. We really are trying to be careful about trashing other sites etc. @scottalanmiller actually wrote a post about this last weekend. http://www.mangolassi.it/topic/1570/dealing-with-discussions-of-other-communities

Sorry guys the purple stays for now. With the newest update from Nodebb we are a little stuck for now on being able to change things.

Friendly reminder be nice please I don't want to shut down this thread.....

Sorry for all the craziness. The new update has really limited our ability to change the color scheme. We are working with Nodebb to get rid of the purple, I promise! Everything is stable this morning however so we will stick with stable for now.

I have reached out to a few members of the NTG team to see if they can reproduce this issue.

I will be working on that tonight. With the change a couple weeks ago our theme choices were well, the purple one I like purple, but there have been some themes added, and I will get that changed.

We here at GroveSocial have been very excited to see all of you coming over here and posting. The last few days have been great and we look forward to more content and more IT Pro's hanging out and helping each other.

There are only 2 mods here: @steve and myself. We want to keep it fun and beneficial to the IT Pro's. Do we hope to get Vendors in here? YES and I know we have a few now such as Webroot, Unitrends, Server Monkey and Xbyte to name a few. Will we have paid advertising at some point ? Yes! But the community as it grows will be more and more for the IT pros.

@IRJ If you have questions ask them!! We need those questions. NTG has been great in helping get started and we want to continue the upward trend.

I spoke with @Minion-Queen today regarding the generating of more questions and her team will be helping out more and more with that. I am hearing about the NTG lab and the interns that will be working in it all summer. Since they are all newbies I am sure they will be bringing you all lots of questions to answer.
