Who Should Jon Be

[NeilSmith]

I simply find it amusing that nobody has voted for Jon to just be himself. HAHAHA !! Sorry, Jon. I voted for the first option myself.

[Matt]

The more I think about it, the more i think the best would be:

"Knappster" gets changed to "Admin" and sig says "Formerly Knappster".
"Steel Armadillo" gets changed to "Knappster" and sig says "ninja admin"


..... Ok, maybe we can do without the "ninja admin" part... but for those of us "in the know" it'd be kinda funny

I must be missing something here because I don't really see what the big deal is here. I don't know what prompted the PM from the other thread or why. I really never saw a issue with Jon having the two names so he could speak on behalf of his business and the forum. I would hope there are no personal reasons driving these latest developments. I also thought the issue was solved with Jon stepping down from taking any mod actions on the forum. We have two supermods and two regular mods now so I would think that is more then enough. I voted for option one because that keeps things the way they are. I am how ever glad these types of discussions can be had on the forum because you all know that a thread like this wouldn't fly anywhere else which is also evidence that things are working just fine. IMO

I hate to say it, but who cares! Why is this becoming a big issue? Jon owns this forum and because of his love for Jeeps we all are able to participate and be members on this forum. I don't know about you guys, but I'm honored to be here and honored to be a Super Moderator. If the only reason you are here is to cause problems, then my advice is maybe you should go back to the "other forum". Lets all be adults, stop our whining and just have a good time on a great forum. There are a lot of knowledgeable members here that have put forth a lot of work to make this the Ultimate Jeep Forum.

Just to bring this a bit back down to earth..... I don't think there is actually an "issue" or that anyone has a problem.

Its a topic of discussion that came up and Jon wanted to get ideas/suggestions on what to do. Implicating that people are whining or starting trouble and "should go back to the other forum" is a bit rash and not what we're about here.

[Matt]

In other words.... I doubt anyone here would really be up in arms if Jon decided to keep his names as they are....

Just to clear a few things up. I said, "If the only reason you are here to cause trouble, then MAYBE you should go back to the other forum. No one here wants to deal with individuals that are here for the sole purpose of causing problems.

FWIW, I know the entire back ground on how this whole situation started.

[Matt]

You and that baggage.....

[SkidMarx]

Being new here, I didn't even realize SA and Knappster were the same person, or that he is the site owner.
'Site Owner' under his UID and "Owner of Steel Armadillo" in his sig(which he already did) would help clear things up.

That way, If I was coming here for the first time, I would assume that as the site owner he an enthusiast who has the best interest of the site in mind. but if I'm asking where I should buy [whatever] he will most likely point me to his site.

Trying to keep the 'Enthusiest owner' ID separate from the 'Vende'r ID seems shady even though I understand why it was done.
An 'Admin' ID might not be a bad idea.

I do think he should change his ID to
KnappsterTheOwnerOfThisSiteWhoAlsoHappensToOwnStee lArmadillo

I hate to say it, but who cares! .

Well I would say jon does because he started the other thread.
I dont know anyone here for the purpose of causing trouble, but your comments and attitude are offensive as hell.
This poll was started as a format to discuss what more than one person saw a conflict of interest. If you dont understand that,
you shouldnt get involved in the discussion. Jon has a lot of supporters here and that is well and good. But as a business man
he has to take a longer look at the possibility of the conflicts and address them accordingly.
