It is a sad loss that the decision was taken to close the other forum, one that will be sadly missed.

Strange to, that the recent troubles only really started after some members who had been barred decided to return.

To quote Jethro Gibbs, "I don't belive in coincidences".

Qe sera, sera.

Wasn't me, I behaved this time, ask dp. I can see all sides and I'm sympathetic to paul.
And you can't possibly mean that you think a member posted those links surely?
Unknown to me, as I only found out recently, some of those links were to some pretty sick stuff and posted on a teen thread, I can not believe any one we know would do such a thing Iceman.

I did not say it was you, I only said it's strange that the recent troubles started after formerly banned members were allowed back. I don't beleive in coincidences. Not of this nature anyway.

Those who are responsible know who they are, and I hope they are proud of htere achievement. What perverse pleasure it must have given them, I can only imagine, but given their obvious childish train of thought, well, I'll say no more.

I know you didn't calm down calm down. ;D I'm just saying cos I have been naughty in the past.
I was enjoying posting on the other one until all that immature stuff kicked off.
Who's jethro gibbs anyway?

Also, some of the worst behaviour on the forum has been displayed by previously trusted members, which no automated process can account for. Three of those people who were our biggest critics had previously been given moderator status and been unable to cope, two of those within just a few days of being moderators. We have lasted over 8 years!

If thats referencing to me Paul, I don't think thats fair. I criticised what I saw as inconsistent administration, my posts were deleted when others weren't. Also they were deleted even when I removed all reference to the complainant. If thats what you call a biggest critic then you have no problems at all!
If anything I've supported you, I could have criticised you for all sorts publicly but chose not to. I've stuck up for you the past few weeks, I've explained it virtually impossible for you to stop people posting stuff. As for not deleting it for days... no comment, I have no idea why, so how can I comment.

I wouldn't exactly say I was unable to cope either. Whats there to cope with? Did I ever go editing posts without reason, or delete posts without reason? or threads? or accounts?. Did I ever ban anyone at all ? NO I DID NOT. I would have banned if I had reason to but that's reversible. What happened had nothing to do with me being a mod or not being able to handle it, and I did not miss use the privilege so be truthful and take it off.

''Those who are responsible know who they are...''

You watch a lot of detective programs,Iceman, just tell us who they are

Hey, & wasn't Lewis excellent last Sunday ?

[iceman]

Sorry LP, I don't know exactly what you mean? Please explain.

[Madhatter]

Think he means say what you mean.
Was wosket ever banned? I didn't think he had.
I don't think the porn links had anything to do with any previous or existing member, that forum system seems to be prone to them. I think the visual verification letters are too easy to read, people can join dozens of those sites in a minute by form filling, all you have to do then is verify the letters.
The final nail that wound paul up was undoubtedly members. Me and dp watched it unfold. Sad really as I've said because if I have an argument I have it for a reason and try to use facts rather than picking any mistake anyones made in the past 8 years. I may agree with some of whats said but I wouldn't go about saying it like that unless something was said first.
