I started reading his blog durring the crash in Feb-March last year. Since he became an Admin, his blog is now private. I wonder why???

I could care less about being banned, but I am pissed over the little bitch deleting my post. I guess she didn't like reading the truth. She also lied when she noted "after repeated warnings". In 9 years I never got a single point or warning. Good riddance gravy training lil sis!

ASPD helped me when I came back the 2nd time; I spoke my mind and was banned

That's how Hambone did me.
I always had respect for CK and 2dogs and Pornstaro they always tried too steer me right they never gave me points.... even RP1 didn't point me.

Hambone always gave me points and I saw MR. Clever, BBkid, TexasGator
and Ghostface147 relished it like pigs in slopp!
So it was easy to see who he was playing favorites with.
I'm alriight with it Karma can be a bitch.

This too will pass..................at least you got banned from a dead board.

If the devil bannishes someone from hell, where do they go?

Ahhhghhh! I better hurry and go do something obnoxious on the other board. I want a BAN to complete my tour of duty there!

They are banning either too fast or in a sneaky fashion.
If you are on that particular thread and reading it you would know who is getting banned. However if you are just browsing around, you won't see any 'banned' under those people's handles as 'banned'.
Either they are banning so fast they don't have time to do that, or wanting to keep their good image up so the majority stays willing to try the born again site and not wondering why ban so many people right before shutting down.
Sheeps.net would have been another good name for the upcoming site if ever does.

why even bother to ban people when their closing their doors. It makes no sense to me. Seems more like an ego thing to me.

So many other harmless depictions or mentions of children were stricken and sometimes even points given.

However, I guess if it is a nice picture with kind words about Amber, then exceptions will be made.

In case anyone was still wondering, Hambone pulled the picture. At least there's one Mod over there with an ounce of integrity.

I'm telling you they aren't shutting down... just getting rid of members.
If I'm wrong so be it .

Thanks for the update Enddy

Yea, I had my run-ins with Hambone, but at the end of the day he was one of the GoodGuys.

I agree that seeing all the BANNED members could scare away some of the sheep who would otherwise donate.

Lot's of familiar names and posters I was wondering what happened to some of the regulars like CB and tbone. I am disappointed that the new owners' decisions. I found a lot of good people on the P. From Billy and Beth at Wildflowers and Amazing John back in the day to some great ladies. It is a shame to kill off something with such a rich history. It is clear that the new owners didn't like the idea of the board and decided to kill it.

Sad day, but glad there is alternative places without plucking down a wad of dough for the prevledge.
Thanks TBONE!

I think the new owners found out they are not owners and lost interest in the legacy. No money. Hence the idea of the new board, eCRAPS.
I have not followed the rants as closely as some and may have missed something.
Correct me if you will.

I agree with you CarKido, another member and were talking and we basically came to the conclusion that something wasnt right with WHOLE thing over there, I told him that I bet they keep "banning" people because they cant shut the site down (I know they cant change the banner/ads at the top of each page). Think about it and I may be wrong but if you are in "probate" as stated, trying to clean the site, why let it just lingere until it is "shut down", also they said there is a WILL so why is it in probate, unless some one else can stake a claim to the site or they dont know who technically owns the site...

One last thing, if there were 150,000 plus supposed members and may be 60 -70 percent guys, roughly 100000 and 2.5 percent paid BCD (2500) at $100 a year is like 250000 not to mention any revenue for posting ads and such on the provider side that easily covers the admitted $2000 a month cost, hell they could have $10 a year for each member and made out. I guess as Fancy stated, a lot of poor management and planning.

I have so many questions about many inconsistancies of FJ and Angel's statements but I will let it go and move on, it was a good board and I learned a great deal. Although I do have a question due to some conflicting statements I saw over there that were removed, are FJ, her husband, Angel and Amber blood relatives ? There were some statements made that didnt add up and were quickly removed some by FJ are still posted I think.....

Well, I am off to get banned on ASPD so see ya later.

Hey, just imagine this scenario. You pay a provider an agreed amount, then she turns around and gives it to her friend, Miss Verotel, to "hold" for her. Midway through the dastardly deed, she discovers Miss Verotel won't give her the money, so she stops the fun, and she asks you for more money, saying that she'll try to get back with you later, that she's going to stop "providing" for a while, but she's trying to figure out a way to get back in business, and she'll give you the ride of your life when she returns. What's wrong with this picture? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me! I realize this is simplistic and dismisses a lot of the facts involved, but I think she's not looking at this from the hobbyist's perspective at all.

I poured so much of my brilliance into "that" board and now it's gone. I feel so used. Almost violated (in a bad way even).
