People who build websites are very picky about who has access to change the code on their sites, generally anyone who is "not me" will not be given access. We're like dragons hoarding treasure.

But at the point I reached out to him it's was very obvious he was doing the bare minimum to keep things running. He didn't owe me anything but it would've been in both our interests to let me fix things if he wasn't going to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoln | 230 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) IIRC @Tanooki was banned for talking shit about someone, getting warned, and continuing to do so. He can correct me if I'm wrong. I dunno about the other guys. The only other one I remember is James who was all over the forum then bailed on a bunch of transactions (poster preorders?) after collecting money. Edit: oh and that cornball cocksuckers guy who lost his mind for no apparent reason. Edited December 9, 2019 by Lincoln Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like people were constantly getting banned, looking at the first page of any thread a year old showed a few avatars of users past. yep just constantly banning folks. I used to do 50-60 a day, just because I love the power that I wield. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonebone | 1,307 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Only one I remember is that @attakid101 guy. Almost banned him for saying Saturn was better than N64. We had already met our banning quota for the month though, so I let it slide. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can correct me if I'm wrong. I was hoping as soon as I saw the notification for this no one would speak up as I don’t want to go down that road. A good bit after this I had a private convo that was third party setup with BA and things were as smoothed over as it was going to be. Amicable And understanding i think would be good words for that. As far as the story goes I’ll leave it at this. There were two versions of the story and I would feel safe to say some fell to one side or the other. And with the shit talking private or public it was never one sided nor isolated to NA either. It got out of hand and to my part had I just ignored half of it and not responded I’m not sure if the outcome would have changed or not. There were many times I’d tried to let it die when another shot got fired to the point I’d say everyone was as fed up as I was with it all I’d request to just let it go as it’s as dead as NA was. Those who kept in contact after the time knew my feelings about it. I won’t discuss it publicly further. I figured the way I left things after the fact seemed fine that’s why I attempted to reappear to see how it would be handled. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,097 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I feel like there was a mod break room at NA like when you work at a retail store and they have one of those who signed people up for the shitty store credit card contests going on where they keep track on a large piece of paper and fill in a temperature gauge except it was to keep track of who banned the most people every month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played many seasons in the weekly contest as Dennis Fleaman before getting caught having multiple accounts, and being Dutch I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono1874 | 144 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Who remembers that guy with that Mario avatar with the yellow background? He'd constantly post poorly written questions. Was he banned or did he just stop posting? I always got a kick out of his posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
