OBC is the site founder and still has full administrator privileges at TAF, he is the only person on the site who cannot be banned. The staff colouration is entirely optional, any mod or admin can change their name back to black here with a few clicks of a mouse.
As for why it happened, basically he reached breaking point and lost his temper, took some actions that he really shouldn't have and alienated a lot of people who put their trust in him. He's also human and we all do make mistakes, and I can't really say any more about it than that.

The list of people banned at TAF.
Except me, I'm an Admin on both forums.

And so you're a sell-out, turn-coat, grass quisling.

I like having my name in red, going to try for admin on RD.net next.

Nobody, not even OBC, has the full story, IMNSHO. So there's more speculation than fact involved in this matter.

Fair enough. I think that I will be making this the prime site used in operation time-waste. Over at TAF, the post rate is just attrocious. Not as much as at Herd Of Cats, but still...

Not possible unless you wish to engage in some seriously underhand tactics, and even then it might get a bit messy.

That's why I said I couldn't say anything more, it would be venturing too far into the realm of maybe, possibly and probably.

It wasn't just a one-off 'breaking point' incident either though, there were other times before when things were similar (though far less extreme).

I was banned for a short time, then unbanned and reinstated as a moderator at TAF but I asked to be removed from staff there as I had/have enough to do here at rationalia and in RL. I've been back to TAF a few times to say hello and have always been welcomed, and I have no hard feelings about what happened with obc - he is a nice guy who made some mistakes.

No-one can tarnish or restore ones 'honour' but oneself.

Then you obviously dont know the true Exi. I am a knight in shining armor for all the ladies. My middle name is "Justice" and my motivation is love.

Knowing Exi, he was probably masturbating while he was typing, while watching some huge tits porn in a separate window.
