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.
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:
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.
That is SECRET and Eliteforge can't tell us, but trust them, it was something that requires that he be permabanned.And what evil thing did Hood do to get permabanned?
mm
That is SECRET and Eliteforge can't tell us, but trust them, it was something that requires that he be permabanned.
Reading between the lines, I'm guessing it was either saying Elwood isn't really a cop and then asking that his account be locked, or he Knows SECRET Personal Information That He Will Reveal Online.
Happily, I've created a thread for just this purpose. :yes: With this thread we will be able to get not only Hood unbanned, but CheekyMonkey and goldeneye. And if Ted has an account here, he can come back too.The word that has been given it that it involves some serious incident involving one or more peoples personal information, and that to tell what happened would be a breach of their confidence.
I don't know any more than that official word, if we want more information on exactly what Hood did we will need to get it from Hood himself.
Sigh. It appears so. Like the flu. Only more stupid...Is it this time of year again already?
:jts:

Don't listen to Friday. She's our resident old crazy lady. Sometimes her disjointed ramblings have some bearing in reality, but they're not really worth paying attention to.
