The Nibbles thing happened when Polarslam made his usual "Im N UR memorial laughin at ur sadness" posts and got banned. He already had four warning racked up anyway.Tyrant said:
Face made a one-liners after PS's warned post saying "I'm glad she's dead" then was banned the next day for a flippant comment to this girl's sister, and there was the whole usual "As the Wordforge Turns" drama wank than went on two weeks as a result.
The Meka thing was about slandering her name, but once the facts came out, Ecc was the one that came out looking like the world's biggest douche, but that wasn't anything new to most of the board.

A good example is reading from post #339 through post #346. Clearly there used to be Elwood posts mixed in there.

OK. Over the course of the day, I came to the realization that nothing can be gained by continually picking at this scab; that there are no winners in this whole mess--only losers. I vowed I would let the matter drop and move on. ...
Until reading this thread.
First point of order: Speaking of Elwood deleting posts without any explanation, it is interesting to note that his announcement upon his return and his ruling has been deleted. It was up for maybe a couple hours. When I went back to comment on it (you can guess what my comment was going to be) I couldn't find it. And the discussion thread that had been attached to it was, instead, linked to the Techman announcement. How surreal is that? If you happened to miss the couple hours the announcement was up, you'd think that the news of a beloved poster's death had sparked a discussion on banning members. :wtf: And it took an even more interesting turn when the thread got locked up "because it was inappropriate, given the somber news we were all dealing with." (Paraphrased.)
I kept my mouth shut at that point, because I hoped that the announcement's deletion was a sign that the matter was being reconsidered, but no. It was merely a sign that the matter was being swept as quietly as possible, under the rug. :garamet:
1) Swallow it and do nothing. After all, it IS his board. I support his right to make the decisions he wants to. :bergman:
2) Leave WF and come to TK.
3) Get in contact with Borgs and see if he is willing to stand up Torrentforge as a refuge.
4) Someone stand up their own "Haven" and use that as a refuge.
(Of course mixed in with options 2-4 is the possibility of using them as leverage for a coup.)
Oh, and one final point: I found it interesting (especially after my brief tenure as a mod) to see the exodus of most of the respected moderators in recent months. Even moderators that I don't always (or sometimes ever) see eye-to-eye with on politics, like Phantom and Garamet stepped aside quickly when they became liabilities. Fuck, even Crazy Lady eventually stepped aside when it was clear that she was a disruption. And she started the board, fer chrissakes. That said, I still find it interesting that Crazy Lady is still a valued advisor to Elwood. And given that, I don't think Elwood will fire Neroon. And the only way I can see Neroon resigning is if Gul bet that he wouldn't and he resigned to spite him.
Until reading this thread.

Are you talking about this thread?
http://www.wordforge.net/showthread.php?t=48967
I can't say I disagree about that thread being closed. Even with what was going on at the time, there were still a few wanting to foam up at the mouth and RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE about something that (to the rest of the board, including the staff) was just...so petty.
The announcement was still under that one :wtf?:

Unless you're referring to something else. Not saying I don't believe you, but I'm a bit confused.

No. Initially that WASN'T the announcement that was there. Initially, the announcement was "I have decided to ban CheekyMonkey and GoldenEye permanently. I've made this decision because my personal information is too sensitive and cannot be revealed. This decision is final." (or words to that effect.)Lou The Beagle said:
Now the announcement linked to (at least when I click it) is about Techman's death. So is my computer acting up and other people see the other announcement, or was the announcement by Elwood about deciding to ban CM and GE deleted?

Many of you have had a lot to say while I was away on business so let’s get right down to the point. Goldeneye will not be unbanned for as long as I remain the owner of this board. Someone I briefly trusted shared my personal information with him without my consent and he, as the evidence I have indicates, will continue to be a threat to my real life if he’s allowed to return. It’s a risk I’m not willing to take and, yes, I’d do the same for any of you. That is the risk you take as a user when you allow your spouses and loved ones to co-exist on this board.
This has gone on for quite long enough. I have been in contact with Nick and/or Tamar almost daily since I left and I have neither the desire nor the intention to defend myself against the allegations made against me nor will I offer further explanation on the orders I gave. My position as owner does not exempt me from the rule that personal information is not a good to be played with. This is my real life and unless you’re in the very small circle of trust, and those people know who they are, none of the rest of you have any right to know those details. This also includes my travel arrangements, dates of departure and dates of return.
I reject that idea and I refuse to accept that yoke upon my shoulders when many of you, including some prior staff members, have disappeared for weeks or months without any word at all. The people that need to know my details do. The rest of you do not and that is not going to change. Ever."
It's there.
He posted it first and then the Techman news broke.

Not true. I have.
But just in case you didn't hear it.... TAMAR IS A LIAR!
So is Elwood.
They continue to lie because it does neither of them any good, at this point, to tell the truth. And Tamar's lies are even more disgusting because she makes more shit up as she goes along.
Tamar: "What? You don't believe my lies? Here, I'll pile some more lies on top to make them more believable. If I continue to perpetuate half-truths and misinformation and pawn it all off as first-hand truth, I can not only take the pressure off my dear friend Elwood, but also make myself look and feel more important, in the process. And then I'll ban the people I'm lying about, claim my hands are tied on the matter, and continue to slander them when they cannot defend themselves. Oh, glorious gods of destiny! Thank you for putting me in this wheelchair so that I can live a truly full and rewarding life on teh internetz instead of in the real world!!!"
