Hood

WTF!? I started using :cylon: during my last exodus here because you guys didn't have :borg: . I liked it so much I started using it at WF too. Now you guys don't even have it?! :rolleyes:
 
I even still have an account here from last time.

Now, who knows who I am? :D (I'm guessing :ramen: won't work? :( )

Edit: Ooooh, I like my avatar!
 
When Elwood stepped down, I started a "Free Wordforge's Prisoners of Conscience" thread, arguing that Hood should be unbanned. There was a lot of support for the idea and Lanzman said he wasn't opposed to it. Muad Dib or someone pointed out that if he wanted to come back he needed to get in touch with Lanzman. Hood got in touch with me over here and I suggested he PM Lanzman's TK account. The WF thread just dropped off for lack of posts.

Then the last time WF was down I came over here and had a PM saying Lanzman had turned him down on coming back so I started the Help Desk thread to try and find out what was going on. Meanwhile Bock started a poll in the Red Room that was something like 37 to 2 in favor of Hood coming back. Eventually Lanzman came on to make a one line post that Hood's permaban would never be lifted.

So to recap: Wordforge has had 4 owners--Cass, Borgs, Elwood, and Lanzman.

-During Cass' reign, to my knowledge she permabanned exactly one poster: Joker.
-I'm not aware of any permabans during Borgs' reign, although he regularly threatened to ban Baba.
-At this point Nick used a stolen database backup to help Elwood strongarm Borgs into giving up the board. Elwood's first act was to lift the permaban on Joker. Then, during Elwood's reign he permabanned: Borgs, Hood, Ted, polarslam, goldeneye, CheekyMonkey, PhilR, and Starscream. On his last day he permabanned some guy apostle brought over for allegedly being a CheekyMonkey dual.
-During Lanzman's brief reign he got rid of the porn forum and will disappear for days before making even the simplest decision. (After about a week he finally unbanned apostle's friend.)

It starts to look to me like Elwood has himself a sweet deal. He's got himself a little puppet who pays for the board, deals with the headaches of running it, and takes the heat for any decisions, while Elwood stays in power behind the scenes. Of course that is just my read on the situation. :shrug:
 
Never trust someone who thinks "WinDoze" is just as original and hilarious a joke as it was when someone first thought it up back in 1985.
 
Million Dollar Question...

Why is Troll Kingdom considered beneath you people, until there is manufactured drama at your own board?

How does TK suddenly become "worthy" enough for your presence? How exactly does that work?

Don't think it's "beneath" me. Just didn't like the topics last time round and like/know the people at WF better so enjoy posting where they're posting. I'm guessing the major problem is the topics discussed here though.
 
If you have problems with Turdforge, start your own damn board. Stop looking to TK as a venue to fight your battles.

As a whole, we as a board don't really give a shit about your petty dramas. We have enough of our own.

Kthanxbye.

Well speaking for myself.....

There just isn't the activity of threads on this board that is on Wordforge. You've got threads going back almnost too October on the first pages of most of your rooms.
