Lo, cold was the morning and crisp was the breeze as we strode across the plains of cyberspace to the feasting halls of TAF, when suddenly, a sharp wind sprung up from the North bringing an omen of dread and foreboding. We reached the gates and knocked, once, twice, thrice, but from within came nothing but echoes...

Later that dark day, a few brave souls ventured inside to discover the carnage that had ensued the night before, the memberlist lay dismembered upon the floor, banned avatars draped over all the rafters, and upon the great table where the feasting traditionally took place was a message written in binary blood, "OK, bye"









Or something like that. :dono:

What he means is... OBC went crazy and banned everyone, so we all fucked off here.
OBC seems pretty nice. I was just chatting with him at the other place. A little more explanation, please?

In all honesty, I dont think he really gave an explanation. If he did, I am unaware of it. In fact, I can really careless at this point. Maybe he realized that long hair is out of style and went nuts. :hehe:

He is nice.. when he's not going crazy with the ban hammer. he went totally nuts and started banning people for doing nothing more than saying things like, "Wow, this is going too far", and such like. Fair dues to OBC, he has taken his flak and admitted he was wrong (and I think learned a lot from it too), but it was totally fucking bonkers that night when he got the ban hammer out.

Okay, since you seem bloody useless when it comes to really answering my question, maybe I can look up the banned members over there, if anyone would bother to provide them. Did OBC just flip out and want to have more room to himself in the little kiddie pool? :pissed: And since he doesn't seem to be a mod or admin over there, this whole story is starting to sound fishy. :lay:

Okay, that helps a little more. So basically, he inexplicably went temporarily nuts, and starting banning all kinds of folk for no reason?

There really isnt an in-depth answer. He didnt like what people were saying, so he banned them. You're looking for some complicated answer that isn't there. I heard he was having personal problems. Perhaps he was in a bad mood that day and banned people for speaking their minds.

Well that's just absurd. It's the whole damn members list. I haven't been banned there yet.

Well, personal problems might explain it somewhat. Not excuse it, if what you say is true, but explain it. Has he tried sucking up and fixing his supposed mistake? Or tried to get anyone back? Has he unbanned anyone?

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.

I am not sure whether or not he apologized. He started posting here, and was welcomed back with open arms.

I am not sure if he tried to get anyone back. I dont think so.

Actually, he went nuts two times, and banned people.
