That's the odd thing about my ban. When he commented on a post or thread I made he was always in agreement. I didn't break any rules or act like an a-hole. I was posting one night and went back the next day and I was history. My belief is he got worried that my presence on his board could have his board terminated. I think he got it in to his head or someone else put the idea in his head that I could be seen as a stormfront white supremacist. Therefore, his board could be seen as harboring white supremacy. I think some YouTube accounts were deleted because of that. He said a couple of things which leads me to that belief. His board so he can do what he likes I suppose. unfair but that's how it is. You've never been a threat to this forum, so I'm not sure how he would figure you're a threat to his. It's gotta be something else. Monkeys is generally easy going and the only bans I’ve seen while I’ve been there have been due to abusive behaviour and Psycho doesn’t come across as that type of person. I think Monkeys just likes a quiet life and doesn’t appreciate receiving complaints via ProBoards.

He got a bit weird all of a sudden about race threads and posts. This was after me being a regular there for three years or more without any problem. He instigated a ban on race threads for about 6 or so weeks. He started to ask me about why I post about race issues so much to which I replied I average over the last year I make two threads a week which isn't all that much. He hit back with it's all I ever talk about to which I replied that I have a genuine interest as race is injected into every aspect of life these days. Another poster asked why it bothers FM so much to which he replied he isn't going to lose his board for anyone. Like I say it's a theory I have but I'd be intrigued to know why he did ban me permanently sort of straight from the horse's mouth. He's had folks over there who say things and act way worse than I ever have. I'm sorry I relocated your friends to a place you can't go, but considering that the inmates are running that asylum, are they really your friends? You had one member ask FM to lift your ban, he said no, and that was that. Where's the outrage? Where are 132's "he's a race baiter but he's our race baiter" thread? Where are the attacks on V1's admin for the perceived inconsistency? I don't see any of that over there regarding your ban. Maybe I'm blinded by the hypocrisy. No worries. More bummed than I thought I would be. Permanent ban given without warning or explanation for as far as I'm concerned nothing seems excessive. I guess the idea of me being reinstated didn't garner much support. Probably not from people who wanted Xeliou66 and others to be allowed back on the politics board here or bans lifted. Be funny if Rissa is back over there. She deleted her account at one point after FM told her to go eat some fried chicken and watermelon. Maybe FM should have banned himself after that.

I think Monkeys just likes a quiet life and doesn’t appreciate receiving complaints via ProBoards. I think FM, after the idea was floated by whomever that I was a stormfront Nazi and my presence may result in losing his board if reported, had a bit of a think. I think he weighed his options and decided to get rid of one guy who might be a risk rather than risk losing everything. Definitely no abusive behavior on my part. I was a regular there since it started. All through the time when his board was mocked for being so dead. No loyalty.

It's simple, people felt betrayed when the former moderator abruptly deleted the whole forum as some kind of sick joke on April Fool's day. Hence why they moved out. It was good that Proboards was able to restore it but they did it because this was one of their most popular boards.

You forgot me!
Like other said, I thought this board was gone forever. It was a busy time for the Sports Board as the NCAA basketball tournament was going on. So I joined FM's board. But I still post here. FM's sports board is so Euro-centric as to bore the bejeezus out of me. And the Politics Board isn't all that bad. Other than PnoneyWarrenPeace and a couple others. And, sad to say, this boards isn't what it was in April.

I don't know about FM, but I stopped caring long ago whether or not someone who gets permabanned from here understands the reason. However, I don't remember ever thinking that maybe they didn't. Did FM ever tell you to stop discussing race but you kept doing it anyway? I've slapped a lot of wrists here for that very reason. I figure if they want to run a forum, it would be better to run their own instead of demanding that I run this one their way. Respect is a two-way street, meaning that if they respect the rules, I'll respect their account. After all, that's the deal that's agreed upon when a member registers an account here and I approve it. Only a pushover admin would hold up both ends of that deal. Of course Rissa is there. Can you not read FM's forum?

Baseball is starting, the NCAA BB tournament was going, the NBA and NHL is winding down and the Euro football leagues are going. When one board causes 95% of all the problems but the other boards suffer is shitty.
But whoever said the world was fair?

I don't know much about the Sports board, but I'm not seeing that we lost any decent traffic. I understand that there were some members who were civil in that board while shitposting everywhere else. I used to restrict members like that to the boards in which they weren't a problem, but quite frankly it was just too much trouble for what it was ever worth.

It was indeed a shitty thing to do, and if there was ever a good time to do it, that wasn't it. And I take some responsibility for it. Admin2 apparently thought I was going to be a shadow mod of some vicarious sort. Always emailing me, asking how to deal with this or that. My last response essentially amounted to "stop bothering me, it's your forum now, go run it." The next day it was deleted.

And, for those who thought it was a sewer, you must not have seen the original IMDb politics Board. Ramon, Navykurt, Koolguy, Bencaesar, oy vey.
It just seems to me that the Sports Board is slow. I usually had 8-10 posts on good Sports days, now 1-3. The Sports Board on IMDb was a riot. An epic, epic battle royal over The Deer Hunter. Marco's "Sandusky Awards" (google Jerry Sandusky). oh well

I'd been wondering this whole time what led to the deletion of this forum, but didn't wish to press. One thing I appreciate about you is that whenever I send you a PM...you actually reply to it. I sent a PM to the admin on that other forum and they have chosen to ignore it. So, thank you for being someone who actually acknowledges my PM's I send you.

During the week V2 was down, I went through the entire members list with a fine toothed comb and gave each account careful consideration, one by one. Some were no-brainers, others not so much. Gray areas were given the benefit of the doubt and for a few of those days, I actually had some of them restricted to specific boards such as Sports, but a "been there, done that" argument eventually won. So I'll take some blame for Sports being slower, but I won't apologize for it.

Only worse scenario would have been deleting the boards during the Super Bowl. Every time the board gets dumped, we lose a lot of posters. I know the posters who were sane on Sports but not so much on Politics and we tried tell them to stay away from there but to no avail

It was a knee-jerk response with no consideration given to the state of US Sports. lol. My decision to close the Politics board, however, did have something to do with the current state of US Politics.
