Big D, whatever you may or may not know, the problem is, you draw false conclusions and state them as facts. You said "It wasn't your site". Regardless of anything you've heard about it, even from Vulcan, it was always my site. I have never called anyone else's forum the "official EIS forum".

By your logic, I never had a forum until recently when I, for the first time, started paying for hosting out of pocket. Prior to, what, 2008?, I didn't pay for this site. And if I didn't want to, I wouldn't have to, because there are always good and generous people who are willing to help out TradeWars. Before Vulcan hosted it, it was on the AZI servers where Gypsy/Rick Mead used to work, and Rick Mead was the admin of the site. Did that make it his site? No. And neither did Vulcan's involvement mean that this site was his. If it was his, then when he split to start his own forum, he'd have just continued this forum rather than start a new one. I'm sure you know that's not what he did.

You also have no clue how much I participated in the management of the forum back then. So please, stop speaking for me. And if Vulcan was around, I'm sure he'd ask the same.


So by that way of thinking I can call this the "Official Ground Zero Forum" and it belongs to us. Good to know.

The problem is I'd have about as much power in this forum as you had in Vulcan's forum. Isn't that the reason Space Ghost started this forum because you didn't have the power to reinstate him as admin in Vulcan's forum?

Eh - "De mortui nihil nisi bonum.." etc. for starters.

For second, get Vulcan here to comment.

No, let's bypass the drama and lock/remove the thread. There really is no point to this thread, WTB moderator priv.

Big D,

I wish you would stop with these posts.

Life is too short to bicker over silly issues like this. I found that out with Space Ghost's passing as I never resolved my issues with him and I regret it.

If you have something to contribute in a rational discussion, feel free to do so.

But if all you want to start trouble, please refrain from doing so. I suggest you type out your rant, hit the save button, then go cool off a bit.

After you cool off, go back to the saved post and re-read what you typed earlier. You will find what you wrote was pretty stupid. But knowing you, you will submit the post anyways.

I would prefer though that you not post at all unless you have something to contribute to the discussion.

Thank you.

Time to set phasers to Block...

Someone needs either more pills or less pills..

I would suggest professional help.

From now on, I choose to remove him from this board.

I am glad there are settings for this.

I agree, this thread was started as an argumentive thread that was locked and was well off topic. Sorry BigD, you officially reached your limit with me my friend. Contact me on ICQ if you need.

Sorry Kaus, I mod a bit differently. I give them a chance to fix it themselves before I fix it for them.
