Hey whatsup! This has got way out of hand!
I've actually left the forum! Just came on here to reply to my last PM's and close my account. I read all your msgs on this post, and id ask you not to direct anymore replies at me, as I wont be here to read them! Thanks for expressing your views! i have made a effort to look through the comments and give you my last post.

Allot of you didn't understand where I'm coming from. You see, over the last few years Ive seen allot of really cool people get banned on this forum! And many left because they were just pissed off at the very same stuff, that I'm getting pissed off about now. I didn't get it back then so i just kept my distance, but recently i was confronted with a scenario ie; where the ban cards in your face and suddenly a admin decides to bash you on the forum, while members back him up and flame all your new posts, even before you can get your message out... Now the people here arnt at fault, everyone can be asshole whatever, but they should be, and there should be rules to stop these incidents happening in their tracks! Thats what it boils down to in the end...
To me your all new, I don't know virtually any of you, or what your about. You all seem unique in your own way, but id like you to not get so involved and point fingers, unless your absolutely sure about all the factors involved.
Now, I voiced my remarks on here! and i hope that this contribution has LEFT some merit.

When one starts bashing others,
You mean moderators? they deserve it! no two ways about it, and now that they have a stick up their ass, they will hopefully make the right changes which will benefit all of you, and not me as like i said, ive left!
Bonita, cheers for trying to give me advice
... The comments you made are sweet, made me smile! But like I said, it was personal between me and the forum mods. Especially with what transpired in regards to my situation with chief. It goes back in time... to former mods and their actions with users... and most of you don't get it because you haven't been put in the same position (and i hope you don't).
Again this isn't the first time this incident has happened, where a member was outright infuriated at the conduct of admin and the lack of rules which has led to this.
To me personally this issue is now resolved.

How exactly am I taking a swing at the members of this forum?
Medals, I have no idea who your talking to or about? I have no idea how you are involved in any of this or why your saying what your saying. The comment was directly at Chief, and a post he made! Nothing to do with you whatsoever in any way. I think youve made some decent posts and i think i gave you a +1 rep for a good job done!
Again this doesn't involve any of you guys and at the same time because of these rules, it may involve all of you guys in the future!
Please pay attention to the feedback I left, in regards to clearing up the forum, not my pissed off outburst. We are all human at the end, and if things get up to this point, you too will voice your opinion in this exact manner. Its certainly not something i would do if i didn't genuinely care about this place.

P.S. Impact, I think your Baldazon personality is way cooler mate.
I have nothing to do with Baldazon, aside from giving him rep points on the forum. The rest of your comment reads like an attack so i wont contribute further to that.

The whole 18+ thing has gotten out of hand. My point was simply that we have to put a disclaimer in place when people join this forum so that they confirm their age. I was trying to get at the idea from a back corridor, that in fact THIS, was not in place. Hence if you read above i made a comment like.. " We shouldn't let them in to begin with ". My point being that they are in this forum already, and nothings being done to prevent it.
Yes there is adult content and if these kid's parents decide to sue, this forum is fucked! There is nothing in place currently to legally protect the forum aside from the forum rules which state no pornography ... But try for a day to be a moderator and have the huge weight of having to checkup every link to see what its about... its a huge job, and we have to have people in place 24/7 (also mentioned time zones) to take care of the issue.

Thanks, keep it up! I think you are now one of the last old members remaining, make this forum good! keep it clean!

Good luck to you all, no hard feelings! I know allot of things weren't explained here, but as always im very pressed for time. Know that there are good reasons for everything, and that its not important, all thats important is my suggestions. They will clean this forum up so incidents like this---which youve witnessed don't occur again...
Lastly...I read a remark that someone made earlier in the forum which i didn't like. It reads, "every 6 months this happens, and then they leave and its back to normal" etc...
The thing is, if people genuinely care about a place then they should care about its people. You cant have period cycles in this forum, where valuable members--who know the score get dropped off every few months. The posts people are contributing are already so plain...
If you don't have solid posts and posters who counter arguments, questioning things, then this place will be either dead, or like a "Equilibrium plant", where the few that do post force dogma to new members.

If you keep these points in mind, then you'll realize the severity of even 1 loss by 1 good poster!
When I first started coming to this forum we had amazing detailed super lengthy unique posts by so many old school, phenomenal members. These days thats gone, they are gone, and the influence and presence they had is lost forever... When people like that leave, everyone on here looses! Packing up and pointing the finger at them for voicing out their concerns, just isnt cool in my opinion.
At the end of the day i cant change your opinions or view points. You make up your own minds. All I can do, is add what i feel and believe, to see if it can make a difference! And If it cant, then i leave! and the people who remain here, will shape the future!
That's it for me!
enjoy
