I just called MP who is getting to his seat at MSG for the Roger Waters show.
Fake account. Bullshit information. Permanently banned.
-
Thanks for the clarification Wey :weymolith:
-
Considering the account creation date and the fact that he had his email public (Mike runs hot a lot, but I don't think he'd do something like that), it really wasn't a surprise.
-
Aw, no archive? :(
-
Wait, what?
-
Wait, wat?
-
Do you really have his cell number?
-
No big surprise.
Do you really have his cell number?
He runs MP.com, why wouldn't he?
-
I wonder if a regular here tried the prank?
-
I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone from 5/8.
-
I've never been to 5/8.
But by the sounds of it (From what I've heard), it sorta like a "this-site-shall-not-be-named" lite. Am I right in that?
-
Yeah, I've often wondered if they themselves were members of that site as well.

Not really. It's a very "in your face" place if you're not prepared for it but that's about it.

Well to be fair "that other site" is as well, although it focuses on shock value more than anything.
But I've been to a number of "in your face" places that have a lot of trolling and I"m not really phased by it.
-
Wait, wat?
Someone posted a fake MP announcement saying things like the band backstabbed him and shit.

And then whoever it was got perma banned.
I'm hoping to get some insight into who it was, but I doubt the mods will release that info.

That was... fun. Apparently I had a few second access to The Lounge. :lol

I think admin is saying that the account which was titled "portnoy" was banned. It used an email account like mikeportnoy67@gmail.com. The perpetrator covered his tracks well, so I don't think the mods were able to find him.
That said, I don't know.

:facepalm:

I'm not implying anything by saying this (Or I don't intend to), I just happen to find it odd that this happens while bosk is away at dinner... :|

Bosk1 is Mike Portnoy.

No. No! That's not true! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!
-
I guess that's why he temporarily locked the other thread. Makes sense.

DON'T YOU IMPLICATE ME IN YOUR CONSPIRACY THEORIES

My god what I have I done :|
-
Nothing SS, I was thinking the same thing. ;)
-
Anyone want to tell me what's going on? You can PM obviously too...
Also, not telling anyone how to do their jobs or anything, but I find it really strange that Wey's posting here when the Portnoy forum is collectively scratching its head like, "uh, what are we allowed to do? Can we talk about Jordan?" :P
-
I've found it weird that no mods have said anything on the matter either.
I'm starting to think that we're getting punked here.
Edit: There are absolutely no mods online at all right now. Yup, we're getting punked.

Agreed now that I thought about it. Especially since the username was created today. I find it highly unlikely that no one took it up til this point.
-
this reminds me of a few years ago when there was some guy running around pretending to be MP

Maybe they're trying to figure out what to do. This is a highly sensitive situation, isn't it?
I don't know about anyone else, but I kinda feel like an ass now speculating about bullshit information. Is that what you mean by getting punked?
-
^ That's true. If DTF becomes a DT vs MP board, I recall bosk saying that he would start up another forum or something like that. There could easily be a forum split in the near future.
-
That's a bit extreme.
-
You guys are blowing this way out of proportion.

That's a possibility, but its in my nature to be distrustful in situations like this. I dunno, something doesn't seem right. I'd expect hef or Nick to post in the thread by now, at least a post telling everyone to chill.
And yes, that's what I mean about being punked. I've just always felt uncomfortable in situations like this and I tend to be very suspicious of things around myself. Maybe I am looking to much into it, but its in my own nature to constantly question things like this.

It's not at all possible that none of them are at the computer right now.

It is a possibility, I won't deny that. Its just I normally see hef or Nick posting at this hour, and to suddenly see no one here seems odd.
It just feels too convenient to say that though, I just don't trust it.
-
You guys are being a little silly lol
-
It's just a little uncanny that there are NO mods on. Especially in light of recent events.
-
What the hell is going on?

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND

I know what you're saying. I feel the same way. :-\
-
I have no strong feelings one way or the other.
-
Could this be the end?
-
Confused forum members are confused.
-
No, I'm cornfused. :lol
-
Yea seriously, I have no idea what is going on. Can someone explain?
-
Someone made a thread that was call A Little Clarification. The person who made it had the account name Portnoy and had the same profile picture and same writing format as MP over on his forum. He was commenting on the JLB interview. Thus admin locks it and tells us it is fake.
-
And then some people here think Bosk is MP.

He's not? ???

Tell my wife I said "hello."
Well, that whole situation is kinda messed up. Someone be trollin' hardcore.

I agree.
-
??? Not sure what all the "conspiracy" and "uneasiness" stuff is about. As said above, a troll created a fake account and posted a fake thread. Not much more to it than that.
-
I feel better now. :biggrin:
-
Bosk, that part was confusing me more than the trolling itself :lol

Yeah, really. If Seventh Son was trolling he's good.

That won't happen.

Someone at 5/8 screencapped the troll's post. It was definitely a blatant trolling attempt that made Mike seem like the root of all the bands' issues. I don't want to post the screencap here, since it was removed, but basically the gist of it was "I got kicked out over creative differences. The band wanted to go back to the style of the Scenes from a Memory type days, and I wasn't into that." The thing that made it interesting was that Mike's font and picture were basically the same as they are on MP.com. Even the posting style was the same, kinda written like this:
The thing that definitely gave it away was Mike would have had to know the forums secret emoticons. Which is HIGHLY unlikely.
-
I can't believe anyone accepted that as being real.
-
Bad troll is bad at trolling.

No, Luke........ I AM MIKE PORTNOY!! :laugh:
-
I wonder if this will make it into Rich Wilson's article.
-
Why would it?
-
No, not the troll, I mean MP lashing out at James.
-
Someone pretended to be Mike Portnoy at my KM forum last week, but I caught it right away because the week before he pretended to be Kevin's dad. It was the same guy and I recognized his email address and deleted the posts. He had the same MP photo and such as at the MP forums. Maybe it's the same person.
-
Oh, sorry. :lol
I doubt it. I think the interviews for that article are all done. If he were to include it he's have to go back and interview JLB and MP again.
-
lol. At least he could have made a new email address.

Yeah, I hope he can though. I mean, usually when reporting, it's best to have the most current version of any story, especially one that's been poorly covered by a site like Blabbermouth.
Here's to hoping Rich can get a comment. It'll be really weird if Rich story comes out and reflects a way different reality than what it
looks like the current one is becoming.
-
I'm never here when stuff goes down anymore... :(
-
*shrugs* Maybe it's because I missed it, but even after seeing the screenshot, the impact isn't that big for me.
-
Good god, what is this? :lol The level of conspiracy theory in this thread was so excessive that even Perp Change was laughing at you guys. :biggrin:
Sometimes there are no mods online. Sometimes we all happen to be busy or in bed (or both :eyebrows: ). Doesn't mean we're playing tricks, and it certainly is never an excuse for trolling and spamming.
Ah well, he's gone now.

You have to admit, the way things went down it certainly lent itself to looking like that was the case. And I said it before, I'm a distrustful type, so meh.

Yeah, timing is everything. Last night did seem a little weird, but we're all better now. :biggrin:
