Where is Volleyball Mom?

I agree she has some valuable information to this thread. What issues does she have with members? Has she addressed these issues either with the members or with a site admin? What offended her?

With this information, maybe we can pull together and resolve the problems.

The purpose of this thread is to show support. I know sort of what happened but that has to be handled internally. The purpose of this thread is simply to show support.

Volley and Kash both felt offended by something that happened a few weeks ago, and that is why they aren't posting. Admin is aware of the situation, and is working on it.

They both need to look at this in a different way - If they stop posting because someone offends them, doesn't that other person/people win?

They both are very loved, and must start posting again soon! [color=Red]YYYYYY[/color]

I agree. You should not let something said on a public forum cause you to change your life. If it was a guest - your best option is to ignore. If it was a new member, ask them to clarify. If it was an older member, talk to them about it in a PM.

More than likely, the situation falls into one of two things: either the poster is just trying to rile you up and lacks the skill to have a proper debate, or their was a simple communication error, either from poor wording or lack of inflection, that has caused a simple misunderstanding.

Talk it out, folks. Everything usually works itself out in the long run.

I hope they both come back very soon....they are missed here!!!!

I, for one, have noticed a huge difference without volley or kash here. There are many posts going unanswered, posts where their expertise would be welcomed. They are extremely vaulable members of this community. I can't count how many people they have helped, including myself. They have stood behind me through thick and thin giving 100% of themselves to me. And I will do the same for them. I don't know the details; however, I do know that they are greatly missed. Missed by everyone, including me. We need your knowledge, your wisdom, your sense of humor, your unselfishness, your caring, and your reassurance here - volley and kash. We miss you and we need you. You have my support 110%. If you need anything or there is anything I can do, just name it. :rose:

Cannr thank you. That is exactly the kind of response that was needed here. Someone else here just does not get it. This is not about why or how to solve it! It is about caring and the loss of two people who are contributors and TEAM players. Not a person who feels that he or she may act indepently from the group and thinks it is OK to say and do what suits them for whatever hidden agenda they may have. I have seen this too many times!

Volley definitely has my support. She always answered my questions and helped me learn without making me feel stupid. I miss her.

On a side note: I also miss her ever changing avatars, kept me on my toes and kept me smiling.

Me too! One day she suddenly turned into a plate of spaghetti! I was immediately cheered up by that! She will be back. She will want to read the next chapter of my story and if she is not back there may never be one!

Well, I do hope she and kash read this and realize that we ARE their friends and we DO care. I know it might be hard, but it is true.

one of the rules for being friends is that we agree to disagree.

Please, everyone, this thread was supposed to be a positive thing. Let's keep it that way. :D

Granny - thank you.
Goudah - thank you.

so true :)

Yes Jeff we lost a lot of darn knowledeable older members as well as these newer ones. I hope we can continue our site and make it an environment that people want to be involved in.

No one is asking anyone to beg. I started this thread to ask for support for a person who is hurting which is what we do. People who are new to this site are reading this and you must realize that we have to maintain a high degree of professionalism. Especially those who are moderators.

What the hell is going on around here?

Once again, I am clueless. I can only speak for myself when I say that I feel that these boards have been more pleasant lately than they used to be. There was some serious crap going on awhile back..I thought it was done and finished. I know I am loving all of my fellow mods right now, and we have a fabulous group!! Don't let's kill that.

I miss Kash and Volley so damn much. I was hoping that they were just busy, and to be honest with you I'm a little bit bent that they didn't tell me what was going on..They have become two of my favorite people around here, and I miss them like crazy. It's not too late, maybe I can help?

Sometimes I feel like there is a fellow mod here that I used to feel close to..You know who you are..who maybe has a bit of a problem with me. Why? Pm me, I'd like to know what happened.

Let's get things good.

I too am lost, once again. I know sometimes life gets in the way of the computer and thats what I thought happened to these 2. If there was anything that I did or said I am truely sorry :cry: Sometimes the fingers move faster than the brain. But Both of them are missed very much. They knew so much. I even learned alot from both of them. I know I am on, here and there, so it's nothing not to hear from me for a couple days. But when someone is here and posting away helping so many everyday, they are missed when they are not posting. We are a family here and like most families there are fights but they don't last long. Please don't let this one last too long. There will be 2 family members that will be missed very much :cry: . Plus I can't change my avaitor as much as VBM lol.

I have read what everyone has posted to include Mike's post, I have thought long and hard about what to say. I generally try to be diplomatic and think out each post to ensure my words adequately express what I am trying to say. The best I can come up with is that this whole situation sucks. Both people know how I feel becuase I told them awhile back. I am saddened that they are not posting. They each contribute something unique, yet very special to this forum. I know they are missed becuase a couple of us have been pming wishing they were here. I feel it during the days when there are no silly avatars, no banter ,no pms and more importantly, people in need missing out on the valuable knowledge they possess. Do I wish they were here...hell yes! But in the end, I know they have to do what they need to do for themselves and I may not like it but will respect their decisions.

That is very true. What ever their decision is, is the best for them.
Thanks for your sensitivity and not trying to make this a girly cat fight. I will not go there!
