That's ridiculous. You aren't (weren't) trying to poach sales from any sponsors, so I fail to see the problem.

My only complaint would be that a few of my posts (and one whole thread) magically just disappeared. No explanation, no admonishment, and what I posted was definitely no worse that other things I have seen posted.

That happening to them is better than any badmouthing I could ever do.

Happening as we speak.

That's easily explained. IC captured me, and I developed Stockholm syndrome.

All I can say is that I am a good person that tries to play by the rules for the most part but I am no mind reader. If the rules change and there are different sets of rules for different people, it won't be long before the moral goes down like the titanic. I have met some wonderful people because of that place and they have become some of my closest friends. I do not take kindly to anyone mistreating my friends.

I'm not dumb enough to pay for a membership when bannage could happen at any moment. Jsut something I was wondering about for all those poor, mis-quided souls who literally threw their money into the shitter.

You could be right, it probably went to some of the mods' and admins' bathroom renos.

Maybe that's IB's business plan. Suck you in with promises of rainbows and lots of other members, get your $$$, and toss you aside when you ask where is your pot of porridge.

Some of that guest number are web crawler bots, others are lurkers.

But we know for a fact that many of the mods lurk here. It's gotten back to me that I've pissed several of those brave souls off on several occasions.

After his banning, I recall Joecoool bitched enough to someone at IB about Jesse and they offered him a refund for his donation.


I departed as a gold lifetime member too, but donated pre-IB. Had I any idea that Troy was gonna sell out a short time after creating the supporting membership program, I never would have done that.

Glad I never pulled the trigger on that one. I had considered it a while back but thank God I had beer to buy.

I'm not going to bitch and moan about CF, I mean, after all, I did "meet" all of you over there... BUT... the atmosphere has become thick with power. OT used to be a lively place of sick humor, crass comments, and tasteless jokes... just what I like. Now? bleh. It's just boring.

I will say I was given a vacation one time for calling someone a moron. Well, not exactly, I said "That is the most moronic thing a moron could say!" in response to a moron's post in PR&C. The damned thing is, I NEVER received a PM, email or the slightest hint of what I did! I had to review all of the threads I had posted in to figure out what the hell happened! Then I was admonished for asking why I was banned! Damn fktards!

Once again- how would they know you were gone? They have bots running that run up post counts. Only by vendors leaving due to lack of business would they know or care real people are gone. They use post count to lure new vendors and advertisers.
