Best of luck sorting things out, everyone is welcome to stay here if they like, all we ask is to stick by the rules.

It would be cool if people sorted things out instead of one dude shutting everything down every time someone pisses him off.

lol I got banned by Thal for posting this:

"Apparently bans are being handed out left right and center.
IF YOU'RE NOT WITH US, YOU'RE AGAINST US!

I'll probably get banned for posting this."

Crazy4DT · « **Reply #37 on:** July 13, 2011, 08:24:24 PM »

And this was the error message I got on 5/8:

"You have been banned for the following reason: Oh snap, option 2. Yep. See how easy it is to weed out the people who have nothing useful to contribute?."

(option 1 was deal with it, option 2 was leave the forum, aka if you didn't like what was going on)

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #38 on:** July 13, 2011, 08:34:16 PM »

Five-eight could use some cleaning up and was already getting a lot more friendly by itself, but indiscriminately banning people isn't going to help things.

Orbert · « **Reply #39 on:** July 13, 2011, 08:40:10 PM »

Amusing.

Bacong · « **Reply #40 on:** July 13, 2011, 08:43:08 PM »

In his position, without people to defend themselves, he can make up anything he wants as a reason for banning them.

Adami · « **Reply #41 on:** July 13, 2011, 08:44:31 PM »

Pardon me if I am incorrect, but hasn't something similar to this happened several times already?

unklejman · « **Reply #42 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:02:26 PM »

Yeah, seriously, there should be more that one person sharing total control of that forum. I understand getting mad, but there are way more people on that board who have absolutely nothing to do with whatever happened on IRC.

Don't they have a bunch of global mods there?

Bacong · « **Reply #45 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:27:39 PM »

Nope, only a few, and they don't contribute. There were only 3 contributing mods besides myself.

Is he the only one who can pay for everything?

He won't relinquish the DB.

I don't go there much, but it seems to happen there at least once a year, so it can't really be a surprise when it happens again and again and again.

emindead · « **Reply #49 on:** July 13, 2011, 10:44:59 PM »

Damn, this had to happen when I was posting more in the Arts and Sports threads there!

Also, the new software in that place was beautiful. These dramatic turn of events are happening too often over there.

just goddamn it all

we seriously have something good over there and about 5 people don't seem to give a shit; they have some warped vision of how the board is supposed to work and who it belongs to and are completely out of touch with the community. and yet these people have the power or connections to it.

it's just all a shame. and a sham.

lonestar · « **Reply #54 on:** July 13, 2011, 11:24:06 PM »

Truly heartbreaking, and me at almost ten post over there, I hope my world isn't too shaken.

If you guys had a 'like' feature I would 'like' the above post.

Zook · « **Reply #58 on:** July 14, 2011, 12:26:35 AM »

Meh, the like feature is rather pointless, but mainly because I don't care/it doesn't matter to me what posts people like. Not a diss on anyone.

IRC is hard to monitor.

that's just it. the irc channel is not part of fiveeightforums.

tri.ad · « **Reply #61 on:** July 14, 2011, 02:52:59 AM »

Personally, I'm not very fond of how things are generally handled on 5/8, but actions like that make me go

quite a bit. Not that I care too much, though, I haven't posted there for four years...

Dimitrius · « **Reply #62 on:** July 14, 2011, 03:04:43 AM »

Thal shut it down again? Isn't that surprising.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #63 on:** July 14, 2011, 03:08:11 AM »

Never posted or made an account there. I've looked at it though. Not my kinda forum. I'll keep my detailed opinions to myself.

Ditto. This only time I ever went there was in April of 09 when this board crashed. Felt like I needed to take a shower after every visit.

This post makes me happy. haha.

Anyways looks like we've all been un-banned and life goes on as usual! I don't think things would be the same without an annual or semi-annual meltdown on 5/8...

ghostnotes · « **Reply #66 on:** July 14, 2011, 07:29:40 AM »

Yea, it was kind of weird yesterday. I'd just registered last week and was there long enough to figure out the place is insane (think Count of Tuscany, just with NSFW lyrics) and HEY I RECOGNIZE SOME AVATARS, USERNAMES, and SIGNATURES in here!!! I see what you all have done.

Guess not.

I don't post on 5/8 at all anymore but you guys are welcome here.

Both forums have value to their individual members.

I look forward to both forums co-existing harmoniously with those members.

good day, well wishes too everyone from that place
