All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

While I am honored by your thought of me as one of the most forward thinking political leaders in the modern era, I assure you I am not. I am simply a contract governmental affairs specialist, who strives to help people. Playa and the zone are my people and I plan to help them the best I can. But thank you for the compliment!
COMING SOON...

As Ive said before the candidates will not be getting involved in this kind of thing. I assure you I more than capable of handling questions about the campaign and the issues at hand. Besides both Playa and NBF lead busy lives and dont have time to answer to everyones beckon and call. Ive spoken with Playa today at length and he is aware of the comments Ive made and I do speak for the entire team.
So, they lead busy lives and can't answer everyone's beck and call, but you spoke "at length" with the candidate for president? Which is it?
If he doesn't have the time to deal with this campaign, maybe he doesn't have the time to be the president? Or is it that he just doesn't want to deal with the "little people"?
Re: From the Desk of the Playa/NBF 08 Chief of Staff;
I'm not going to spend all day going back and for with you so you can play spin master some more. The fact that LA Playa has to have an "online persona" that is different from his actual personality, as you say is the case, is all the proof I need that I don't want him in a position of power on this board.
Our whole team has been taking crap for "giving crap" during this process, but you know what... that's who we are, that's who we've always been. We're a group of guys with a good sense of humor that like to joke around and have a little fun, but at the same time, we do have some real ideas of what would make this place better. We don't need "online personas" to hide behind because we're perfectly comfortable in our own skin, doing and saying what we think.
Additionally, Cher hit the nail on the head... you don't have the time to answer to everybody else with questions and comments on here, but you seem to have more than enough time to speak to one another about your plans. If you're so busy that you can't stay involved in this and only show up every other day to post a "I'm a great guy vote for me" line and take off, then how the hell should we expect you to have enough time to address the issues and concerns brought up to you regarding the board if you end up in a position to in fact address those things.
If you want to be super PC and put the same exact people that are already in power, but don't have enough time to try and implement their supposed ideas, vote for Playa.
If you want somebody that is just going to be themself and not put up a front as the situation warrants, somebody with fresh ideas and the time and energy to put them to good use, vote for Bedard.
I await your answer full of no substance or emotion, but just more standard politically correct party lines with baited breath.

Re: From the Desk of the Playa/NBF 08 Chief of Staff;
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

I didnt say that. As you know PM's take a matter of minutes to respond to, however it takes constant attention to monitor the constant comments in threads aside from that this was my comments and my ideas. Playa was told that I wanted to comment however he wasn't consulted on what I was going to say. He had the faith in me to allow me to speak for the campaign, so why would he show up here? This is my thread, with my comments, not his. Playa like the rest of us has time for that some days and others doesnt. We all get busy in life, nobody here is available 24/7, thats life.
COMING SOON...

Holy crap! I think we have already pushed DB over the edge!
Nah not even close, I deal with that stuff on a daily basis the staff here is aware of it. All of us have things that we dont always share publicly, however if Im going to be called out to the firing squad as to why I havent done my part, then Im going to defend myself if I have a legitimate excuse, given the PMs Ive received I wish I hadn't said what I had, but its out there now, and Im not backing down from it. Ill deal with the comments that have been made to me on my own.

I think you have done more than your part today alone.

If people have been seriously ***** with you about your problems, then they have more serious problems than you.

As I said I will deal with that and those people on my own, thats not about this election and nobody elses problem to deal with but my own. Ill deal with that. Im going to be gone the rest of the weekend, except for 5-10 min intervals here and there. Good Luck to all the campaigns and happy holidays!
