I just want to say that I’ve really enjoyed this site and still miss Current a lot. Sometimes I feel like I’m hogging up the posts until I remember I’m about the only one posting. It’s good to see that about 100 people are viewing this site daily. It was interesting going from New Member to Junior Member to Senior Member since last May. But I was startled today to see that I’ve been promoted to 'God'!!! It’s a little embarrassing but I’ll play along. Now that I’m God I’d like to know where our moderators have been. I do know that Vierotchka has been under the weather for the past month, devastated by a heat wave in Switzerland and suffering with a heart condition. But where is vforvendetta? We’ve got an Error 520 that needs fixing….. And why aren’t more of the 71 Current members posting or commenting on anything? It can’t be because it’s too difficult. Is it the lack of pictures beside the story? Is it an ego thing??? Please somebody fill me in. Meanwhile I will continue to post stories every day to break the boredom and hone my skills as an editor/headline writer. It’s fun and good to know that people are reading. So what is above God? Supernova???  |

Coolplanet, it's disappointing to continue to post and no one comments, or there's a couple of comments. I admire your tenacity, but it seems the former Current members have gone on their way to where ever, they are and doing what ever they're doing. It has to be accepted, even though Vierotchka has done a tremendous job here. I noticed VforVendetta has been out of the picture for awhile.
Since you're here, maybe Vierotchka will let you take on the second administrator position. It seems to be the wise thing to do.

Since you're here, maybe Vierotchka will let you take on the second administrator position. It seems to be the wise thing to do. I see I've been demoted back to Full Member. I was rather enjoying my God status while it lasted. In my 3 years at Current posting articles every day, often there were no comments. But I would see that 100+ people checked out the story and that's what mattered most. One time I had a quarter-of-a-million views with 'Perry Enjoys Corndog.' I was viral for 15 minutes! I go to many other sites and sometimes check out the comments. But they all lack what we had going at Current. It was a great format and forum. I notice that all of the news sites have to have big pretty pictures beside the story to get people's attention. I hate what they've done with ThinkProgress lately catering to the graphically fixated. It's like subscribing to National Geographic just for the pictures of naked people. I seriously worry about our shallow culture. My main interest is sharing important information. Posting articles to the wwworld on a site like this makes me feel like I'm contributing something instead of just taking it all in. I also consider it an archive of material I can access in the future. I won't give up on Current Reborn even though it seems almost everyone else has. |

Cool Planet that's good for you, if it gives you enjoyment. I suppose if the absence of comments and online conversation does not bother you then it's also good for you. For some of us it is not. What made Current and other sites communities is that interaction, which some people enjoy. It's sharing of opinions, information, thoughts and ideas. I'm reading a lot of "I's" in your comments, so in my opinion this place works well for you.
Good luck. I'll be checking in from time to time. I wish Vierotchka good health and wellness. Thank you again. Be Well

This is a good site in a way. This kind of set up I think gets stuck in the mud of "archive post." As for me I am on MyOpera, it's more on the International front so things are different and that is good! The only bad thing is the use of "&" I guess that is a American only thing, it comes out strange on my post there! I haven't been on here much, I had a lot of work to do, my, Opera Unite I was using for a lot of my Current etc stuff died! So I had to work on that. Also I have an monthly update on my site I do I need to work on. Also I have a FireFox Profile Replacement I updated. It's all a mess! On the strange note I found out Michele Bachmann went to ORU in 1978! ( www.nytimes.com/2011/10/14/us/politics/bachmanns-years-at-oral-roberts-university.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 ) I rode my bike around there at that time. We liked to check out the supper friends tower there. It was a cool place at the time! I might of met Bachmann back then?! I wouldn't doubt it! Crap! |

Keep in mind Current never had many viewers, but many where from other news agency's looking for stories to do.
My local channel news used a few of my stories as a point for a story they did. They said nothing about me that did it, but that's ok.
And I have seen a few that many did on Current that showed up on Yahoo news.
In other words we are like a think tank!
As for me doing stories, if I reach someone that makes it all worth it!

As for me doing stories, if I reach someone that makes it all worth it! I am so glad you are still with us WR! I've always enjoyed your posts. At Current, as here, I always check how many views my posts received. Usually it was around 100 although sometimes it was much more and once hit a quarter million. I was inspired by Ken Carey's book years ago, 'The Starseed Transmissions,' which proposed that it only requires one person to wake up from this nightmare. Ever since then I have been trying to wake up. It's all just a big ego problem, really. We like to think that we are separate and in control. How silly we are! |
