Bringing back old-timers actual or otherwise, fast tracking socks and banning without any real provocation are the earmarks of a dying board. I trust I don't need to explain in excruciating detail what it is exactly that I mean by 'dying'.
banning without any real provocation [is] the earmark of a dying board
For the record, Charles' IP is untouched. The only thing that's been messed with are his NAP accounts. I'm quite positive he's still here under a different name.
I've seen conversations like this take place on other boards. TK locals don't have the solution. If they did they'd be doing it. It reads from the outside like some of the management doesn't think anything needs to be done. Of course if I'm wrong I'll stand corrected.

BTAIM I no longer have a dog in the fight really. Not at this point anyway. What I do know is that I've met people on TK that I consider friends. It'd be a shame if TK remained a place where that couldn't happen.
What it should read like is that "the management" is having a disagreement about how (or if) things should change. No one is against getting more people posting here, or tossing the occasional annoying poster into Daycare for a few days, and we are open to discussing different ideas about how to do all that. What most of us are arguing against is arbitrarily banning people, or fucking with people through the control panel. So far from what I've read in this very thread, I'd say the members of the board agree.
