Did everyone get banned?

jaden_2.0
Because almost the entire world moved on from Internet forums over a decade ago. Because social media allows most people to do what they really want which is scream their own opinion into the void whilst ignoring everyone else's.

This and you know this forum in particular hasn't really been updated for a long time so it's outdated and doesn't have a good way to attract new people.

So the only people that really frequent this forum are people with a nostalgia for it. Also maybe the occasional person that stumbles upon it.

I made a similar thread. Makes me sad. This is the only way I socialize on the internet.

1) Overzealous Nazi mods perm banned far too many members for stupid reasons and killed morale.

2) Social media is the new platform. Message boards are antiquities.

Broly was given more chances than any member in the history of this board. He burnt his bridges.

...but Whirly.

Robtard
Surt was given the second most amount chances.

eg I can't recall of another member who got a temp ban, went on a 3-day-tirade because of it, making over 100 socks, spamming the entire forum, insulting all the mods and was still allowed to keep their main account. Even Broly lost his account when he did similar years ago.

ilikecomics
What is the benefit of a sock ? I thought the mods can tell if you're one.

Robtard
Sometimes yes, sometimes no

I like how everyone is okay with Whirly still being here.

No bias at all.

Previously banned posters have come back, eg BrolyBlack has been allowed to return many times.

Whirly is allowed to stay because he's not toxic, at least not anymore, not for a very long time.

Do you think Whirly should be banned?

Klaw
I think the rules should be applied equally.

jaden_2.0
So you think they should all be banned.

Klaw
Either all banned or all be allowed to stay.

And btw, where's Backfire?

jaden_2.0
Dead probably.

At this point you've got a mod team that don't really give a shit and why should they? There's too few of them left. They don't get paid for doing it. They don't get any thanks for doing it. They're not teenagers with lots of time and zero responsibilities outside of the forum anymore. Anyone who realistically expects that all the forum rules are going to be remembered and enforced to 100% of the time by the 3 or 4 mods who still remain isn't living in reality. Not to mention that it was the banning rules being adhered to that ended up with huge numbers of contributing members leaving and never coming back.

That's a little indignant. But he might just care about this place. I don't think that's an excuse, but an explanation

Surtur was toxic at the end. But also pretty sad. The amount of time he spent on this board probably wasn't healthy.

It should be noted that several of those log ins were just to post about how amazed they are that the place still exists. Not to actually do any modding. Their actual last visits were probably years before that.

How do you feel about it ? I feel a deep sense of loss that I can't quite put into words. I've been browsing on here for a decade.

jaden_2.0
I think the remaining mods should spend a few days going through the active members list and just permaban everyone who's posted in the last year and then leave.

This made me crack up and reminds me of a joke my friend makes about cutting his legs off if he hears a joke funny enough.

I would miss this place. It feels like a secret liminal space where I can come and talk about my autistic obsessions.

Shit it's been fifteen years for me.

Because of porn.

rudester
All the good porn sites are now private. Wtf mang with all these 5 min preview videos that skip all the good parts?

Anyhoo boo --- I just wanna say if you have a favorite porn just download it before it gets banned. That's all I'm sayin

I think if that level of mutual respect is maintained, you can look beyond the argument to the person.

The removal of the "unmentionables" has made this forum have a new lease of diversity and life and whilst, I dont think Neme myself or Stilt should ever be banned for our general behaviour because it doesn't tend to cross personal lines and certainly isn't stalky. In this it certainly does not compare to Voltron.

Did they identify as right wing ?

If surt is included in that group he followed Tim pool, who is a bald left wing occupy wallstreet skate boarder and makes the same arguments for state control that artol does.

I don't think most people pay attention to politics or economics as I thought they did, and most people who do are misinformed.

According to certain posters, Tim Pool (who did not vote for Trump in 2016) is a closet Right winger.

I think people like Tim Pool based on things like the evidence supplied by the rational wiki. But you are obviously entitled to view things differently.

Have Whirly or I ever spam socked the site in retaliation for a ban? Surtur did it over a temporary ban and I assure you, I've been temp banned and did no such thing.

They also deliberately antagonized the mods far more than Whirly or even me.

They also deliberately antagonized the mods far more than Whirly or even me. I didn't make my first sock to return to this forum until six months after my Sir Whirlysplat ban, so no, I never did that. I did illegally sock on and off for over a decade till the mods let me back though. I actually had many non raging socks on the forum as a member with that and other accounts. I don't do that now. As PR has said, to paraphrase Whirly is the worst socker in terms of number KMC ever had, but he changed. I was Mr Henderson, the sock King. But no more! Saul Bellow, knew I had a need and strangely I ended up in Africa; like Henderson did, so Adan Duritz sung about me.

When I think of Heaven, deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of flying down in your sea of pens and feathers
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to feed me
'Cause I've been here before
And I deserve a little more
And I belong in the service of the queen
And I belong anywhere but in between
She's been crying and I've been thinking
And I am the Sock King

Who cares who he talks to ?
Noam chomsky, darling of the left, had a perfectly cordial exchange with Stefan molyneaux and agreed on alot.

According to rational wiki, splc, and wikipedia Stefan is the ultimate expression of white nationalist hatred.

So here you'd either had to concede that people with different views can be nice to each other without the necessity of attributing beliefs to either party that they don't have.

Or the 3 sources I listed are either intentionally lying or misinformed.
For example, the splc said sam harris and majid nawaz were islamophobic hate speech artists.
Nawaz responded and the splc has a cute little apology about nawaz and harris specifically, but continue to call everyone else closest racists.
