The Gul's Psychotic Break/WF Implosion Banpool...

['Gear]

Does anyone know of a good free speech forum which I might look into joining? If Gul and John insist on pushing their cancer on Word forge then I do not intend to stick around and watch the downwards spiral.

Free speech in English?

No, that won't work for you.

 

['Gear]

Well, there's here for now if you can ignore the closeted gay homophobes who plague every thread. I thought about starting a new forum at LeFora (which is free) but I'm not sure there's a critical mass for such a thing.

[Oerdin]

No, this isn't really my kind of place. I am hoping to find some place like Worforge before John and Gul went insane and decided to turn it into a safe place where descenting views are not allowed.

 

['Gear]

No, this isn't really my kind of place.

Congrats. That's the first time you've ever said something that makes a lick of sense. I agree 100%.

I am hoping to find some place like Worforge.

I hope you do too.

And be sure to take @gturner and @Volpone with you when you tuck your tail betrween your legs and whimper out of here, crying incessantly about how you guys are above it all and whatnot.

Fucking faggots the lot.

Stormfront.

Fucking LOL

I'd rather not ignore the openly gay men who try to pretend their closeted and pretend they have people on ignore.

 

[Volpone]

Aw, c'mon, it's not so bad. It's really no worse than the monkey house at your local zoo.

If your local zoo has a monkey house for retarded monkeys.

And it is painted with flaking lead paint.

And the monkeys are self-loathing homosexuals.

 

[gturner]

If you put those on ignore the threads are far more readable and you don't lose a single element of the conversation.

Meanwhile WF's Alexa ranking is in freefall. They've dropped 2 million (now 2.517 million), the bounce rate is up to 90%, page views per visit are down to 1, and time on site is 1:25 minutes.

The plan to make it a safe and obscure My Little Pony forum is working!

 

[gturner]

And the WF mods do multiple face plants

John is living in his My Little Pony world full of evil people in black helicopters. He can't deal with reality. He never could.

Anc is joining him in some sort of Renfaire fantasy land.

Gul is probably drinking MD 20/20 from a paper bag and screaming at tourists.

There is no reason any rational person would post there except habit.

 

[Dershocka]

What a stupid fucking asshole, and a crybaby.

 

[The Question]

Soon, Wordforge will be a Workers' Paradise. No dissenting opinion. No flavor. No interest. Just nightly circle jerks in The Shelter, followed by crushing ennui, followed by team huddles to discuss ways to increase traffic. (As long as the traffic doesn't consist of Undesirables.)

 

[gturner]

I've yet to figure out what the shelter is. People there mention it, but I have no idea what it is. I'm also vague on the blue room. It showed up as a locked room for a few hours as John banned me, but other than that, I have no clue.

"The Shelter" is a Super Secret Staff-Only Star Chamber, where the Staff discusses what to do about Problem Children. But because WF is Fair and Open, they decided to put someone in charge of de-classifying (and redacting as required) resolved discussions. So now they do any actual dirty work by PM. And yes, it is as self-important and ridiculous as it sounds.

Just for the record (and so Anc can have some more grist to distort to suit his beliefs), I'd dealt with the Gang of Four long enough to know that no method of persuasion would make them change their mind. But I made a cursory good faith effort before escalating. My thought was, if the argument was that banning GTurner would make WF a Better Place, I could certainly make posts that would drive away far more traffic than GTurner allegedly was doing. I really didn't hold any illusions that this would get GTurner unbanned (refer back to the first sentence) but if you can't have win-win and you can't win a win-lose scenario, your options are down to accepting lose-win or playing lose-lose. So I chose the latter. I still haven't decided if I was successful or not.

On the one hand, it derailed and distracted from the "why is GTurner banned?" debate. But since that debate was going nowhere anyway, it really didn't matter. And now we've got the "why are Volpone and Ramen unbanned while GTurner is still banned?" debate, which is similar but possibly more entertainingly absurd (witness Anc's mental contortions). On top of it, I got banned (twice) outside of the standard warning/ban process and then they retroactively made a rule to ban me and Ramen over, which is pretty damned entertaining. I especially enjoy that they felt they needed a rule (even retroactively) to ban me, but still can't explain what rule GTurner broke to deserve banning (apart from being a "cancer" to the board--and I wish I could say I was being hyperbolic in putting that in quotes, but that's the actual position from at least 2 of the Staff.)

When The Gang of Four took over, I exported my Blue Room blog and stopped posting to it. However in the past year or two I resumed and haven't got around to exporting the new content. It wouldn't be the end of the world if I lost it, but I'd prefer to have it for posterity. So for now I'll just stay away. Besides, at this point the only thing worth doing is seeing how many new absurd rules they can make in completing the TBBSification of WF.
