Question asked and answered! (slam)

Re: It's happening
 
Well I just made a visit to the coral jungle and looked through the forums I usually visit. I noticed more than a few threads that had been closed by the head puffer. I read through the posts and didn't see anything slamming the forum or anyone else. He just closed it because of "drama."

It was my intentions to continue visiting the other site because I have some friends who seem to post more over there than over here. As soon as I can let them all know not to look for macjoe53 I will stop participating over there.

I'm not going to ask to be banned. I don't care that he will use the posts I have made over there. It wouldn't matter anyway because he won't eliminate names from the membership list anyway.

This thread is just irritating...

Tom, I just deleted my information and changed my email on that site. I'm not gonna do anything rash to get myself banned or locked out, but I refuse to ever go back there again after what I've read here. I respect you as one of the finest people this place has to offer.

caputo's true colors are showing. his name isn't even worth capitalizing.

My alter ego was also just banned. The funny part was that I happened to be reading the post by pds informing members that alter-egos will not be accepted any longer but those that had them before that post, like me, would be fine. :r

I guess not anymore. :hm

I'm truly sorry about what happened. I feel that in some way I'm responsible for you guys getting punished for PM'ing me after I followed up my post about calling him stupid.

If it makes you feel better, I did receive a warning and wonder too now how long it will be before I get booted off the island.

I haven't been banned (yet). I don't really care if I do. I have nothing left to contribute there anyway. I guess I am just holding on in the hopes that things will change. But I'm doubtful that will happen.

Even if I did I wouldn't want you to fell bad about it at all. I'm glad you are here.

Stirring up **** over there probably makes them as happy as the bozos from ***** **** coming here (oops, I meant there, before it went to hell in a handbasket) to stir up **** 2 years ago. Which ain't very, for you youngsters who don't remember that time. The place over there right now makes me :pu and is sad ... but I won't dwell on what was, I'd rather hang out here. Thanks again to the team who could see the writing on the wall and set this place up.

Tom,

I am really sorry that all of your contributions, as well as many others, have been swept under the rug. I am also sorry that this comes from someone who lives in the state of Florida. But I have to say... I have met many like him... and it doesn't surprise me in the least that (edited for slanderous content) less than manly person would stoop so low.

Again, sorry brother,

Brent

202 lurking gorillas over in the ocean right now. Looks like we're all a bunch of vultures waiting for the kill. Or we're the traffic jam that happens as a result of everyone wanting to stop and checkout the horrendous crash on the side of the road.

Re: It's happening
 
I already don't spend time there, but this solidifies the resolve not to. Outright lies, password scrambling, making false accusations, etc., etc.

Participating there and turning a blind eye to actions like that is equivalent to condoning them...

It truly is sad to see this happen, though. :sad

Sigh..requesting dispensaton for posting this: 5 years served at a place and having it end as below. Was just going to leave it but ...

Several days ago my password got "scrambled" there. Yesterday had a 10 email exchange with the owner.

Started at... who me, and ended with repetitious demands for censorship regarding Poof bashing here in return for my being able to log on there.

We left it at I was not going to be able to log on there.

my apologies for not being internet forum savy, but how do they track dual accounts? IP address? I didn't have any issues until I logged in for a second to see if that account was still active..and then they dinged me within a half hour.

vbulletin has a feature to notify you when another user has logged in with the same IP address. I think it's a pretty common function used to track multiple accounts.

It is sad that Jon purchased members, but then decided he is just going to force out the ones he doesn't like. If he wanted to start all over, then why purchase membership?

Do the rules of mulitple accounts apply to the Administration? I do wonder about the sudden influx of members with no posts, just introductions.

Ha, the only thing I do there now is look for the new members in the Bay Area and PM them to come here. Not out of maliciousness for Puff but because we have a strong group of smokers here that don't frequent Puff and it would be a shame for them to miss out. I'm sure it'll get me banned at some point but like others, I have nothing else to contribute there. For me I'm glad the name has finally changed, I can wear my clubstogie hat with nostalgic pride for what the place was and continues to be here.

And thanks to the team of 11 who carried on that same spirit. :tu This board already has more truly active users than puff and I hope it keeps growing. But not too fast. ;)

Oh, and I sent smoking duck some rg, I guess they don't look at that. :D

It is never a good thing to get rid of your primary demographic who are the ones who built the site and mostly did it for free. The content will slowly become stale and the unique hits will drop and so will revenue.

Its actually sickening. He won't allow some of the very members that helped create the community, that he has since destroyed, continue to participate in the forum. He is also spending the time to decide what posts make the cut. He should have just designed a site to sell random ad space and posted all the posts in the forums he wanted people to read and close them immediately so you could do nothing but read them and not get a chance to respond to his lies and deceit. :bh

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but even if you are banned, and/or have your password scrambled you are still a member. When potential avertisers looks at the stats they'll see many more members than actually available. John doesn't care whether you stay or go. You're already a stat that is getting him paid.

No kidding. It's unreal, Dave and Tom were both a very big part of making CS the great place it was (among many others), to see them banned in the matter they were is really outrageous.
