SO, THIS IS TRULY GOOD BYE. SOME OF YOU I'LL SEE OVER AT THE OTHER SITE, SOME I HOPE TO SEE OVER THERE, AND OTHERS THIS IS IT.


FOR THE MOST PART IT'S BEEN A GOOD THREE PLUS YEARS. HAD MY POSTS NOT BEEN EDITED, ERASED, OR CENSORED I MAY HAD STAYED LONGER. I'LL MISS A LOT OF YOU, AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU ON THE FLIP SIDE.


THE PSYCHO ONE,

DAYV

Like I said in the Rankings thread: Damn.

And I really was expecting this thing to blow over.

There is no lingerie in space…

C3PX said: Gaffer is like that hot girl in high school that you think you have a chance with even though she is way out of your league because she is sweet and not a stuck up bitch who pretends you don’t exist… then one day you spot her making out with some skinny twerp, only on second glance you realize it is the goth girl who always sits in the back of class; at that moment it dawns on you why she is never seen hanging off the arm of any of the jocks… and you realize, damn, she really is unobtainable after all. Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

What is this other site you guys are talking about?

Well, this is just fracking perfect. Why should two bloody letters in a URL break up a community that's lasted more than three years. Do you know how UNCOMMON that is on the internet?

Adios, Dayv. You will be missed.

The shadow of the dark side has fallen on OT.com

It is funny you say that, warbler. Jays title is imperator and Zion is an Imerial guard. Now I am not much into Star Wars, but I know that these guys never were the good ones. Besides that I prefer the bad ones to the good ones anyway. What good would Die Hard have been without a bad guy like Alan Rickman? And what would have Star Wars been without Darth Vader?

I was trying to say is that dark times are here OT.com.

I know you did, Warbler, but somehow I took it literally and it just fitted the titles.

However, I think this will change again. I see no reason yet to leave here. I like the people and I like the things that are said (a lot of them) and I can switch when I want to. If I don't think too much about being heavily regulated, it is kind of ok. I didn't make the rules, but I still prefer the place to leaving it, so I play by them as far as I think I must.

Although there has been censorship recently, I would hardly call OT.com 'heavily regulated'.

If we were on a "heavily regulated" forum, I doubt that 3/4s of the stupid shit we post would be here. This is the least regulated forum I've ever been on.

I've been trying not to say anything about this whole event, but "Heavily regulated"? Let's not go turning one isolated incident into this supposedly huge internet-affecting issue, okay? That's just so not the case.

on the other hand: one isolated incident seems to be small as long as it doesn't affect oneself.

I have to agree that despite all this that's been goign on, we are a lot more free to discuss pretty much whatever we want here compared to many other forums. Anyone ever been to TV.com?

Agreed, Chaltab.

"one isolated incident seems to be small as long as it doesn't affect oneself."

And having something happen personally to someone doesn't mean they get to overblow its importance either. We can do this all night long, if need be.

Boon, I'm not saying what you are going through isn't bad, but the level of propoganda you are raising this up to isn't helping to make your case. Hell, You are calling Jay a "nazi" and crying censorship because he is editing your posts, but YOU banned HIM from your site! How can you cry foul, when yours is easily the WORST act of censorship? Are you willing to give him his "Freedom of Speech" back at your boards, or are you just throwing this "Freedom of Speech" phrase around because you think it'll rally folks who aren't paying attention to these details to your side?

This has been going overboard for some time, but no one can claim a moral victory when pots and kettles are calling each other black.

ehm... I think I never ever called anybody a nazi. I called Jay's methods of shutting up people gestapo methods. Maybe just a wordplay but for me a difference. Jay is banned from our board because he attacked Dayv too much and too personal and we do protect our people. No, actually it seems we cannot be just the good ones, although I of course would love to be that. But because we denied Jay's offer, when he made it, it all went downhill from there on. But I am not responsible for the mess here, I may have my share, but not for the sake of causing an argument, but to be not accused of things, I did not do. I think; I have the rigth to do that and to explain that. I never thought many people would be interested at all, because usually not many people here talk to me besides faneditors or fanedit fans, which is ok. Free Speech in the way I understand it (and I am not responsible for things others say), means to be not limited or censored in the manner of speaking with reason. I think, if this thing wasn't about money, I guess then it would not even have been an argument, but just another website about fanedits being added to the pot.

Jay has been way mad about this matter and it is no wonder he is banned from our site considering how he behaved and what he said. This decision was made by several people and we agreed on that for the sake of our forum. Trolls need to go. And once again it just doesn't matter if Jay is important to anyone or not. To me he always was and is jsut another guy. Anyone who acts like this, will have to leave our forum, no exceptions.
