Ban DarkSat, he banned me!

AngelaCea said: "BK it is time we banned DarkSat, he banned me from his forum and turn about is fair play, plus he has deleted my posts on his forum also :eek: DarkSat can you explain this before the forum takes needed action against you for these forum circuit "high crimes" :confused:"

quinny said: "what has that got to do with this forum ....stop spamming and grow up"

AngelaCea said: "Shut up Oneill :eek: :eek:"

Darksat said: "Well as usual you were annoying me teling me what to do talking crap and you claimed that you had hacked my forum just cause I let you post as a guest so my low tolerance for stupidity took over and im going to keep the ban on untill you learn not to dictate to me how I should run my own forum & handle my own business."

quinny said: "why???? tell me"

AngelaCea said: "But witness this members, early on DarkSat thanked me for suggestions that I gave him, now he is high and mighty and needs no more advice. Woo, so I guess that means that if we find flaws that we should not let DarkSat know about them, fine with me DarkSat :p :p"

Darksat said: "What did I ever thank you for. Walking onto my forum & posting argumentitive crap, sorry but I could do without that sort of help thank you."

AngelaCea said: "Oh maybe when the colors were so dark that no one could read the posts for one :cool: Or maybe links that could not be seen because of contrast problems, or fonts so small that they could not be seen :cool:"

Darksat said: "Yeah but I never thanked you, you just heard that yourself. I thanked the people who posted constructive criticisim, however you dont really fall into that catagory."

AngelaCea said: "Do you want me to pull up the emails :confused: BK did not cry like a baby like you do when I asked him to dump phpBB, he took action and made improvements. Go ahead and do everything your way man, I really don't care, I consider you a great friend, but if you are going to cry like a baby everytime someone questions you, it becomes a waste of effort to lend a hand."

Darksat said: "Im not crying like a baby, Im just fed up of you whining like a b1tch and I dont have for your nagging, so I eliminated the problem. Simple Now im well aware of the vulnerabilities and advantages of the different forum software so why dont you stop trying to lecture me on a field in which I have vastly more knowledge than you and let me do my own thing. also I dont know why your complaining again (appart from the fact its all you ever seem to do) as you didnt really make much of a contribution anyway and you promised/threatened :D not to come back unless I disabled guest posting, which I didnt, then you came back anyway."

AngelaCea said: "DarkSat we are going to clear up your defects in this thread so you can improve. :eek: Like I said, if I never read or post on your forum I will not miss anything because I am on enough forums and know more than you know other than coding about this business, so if you want to keep the ban on that is fine with me. If I would not have gotten on BK's arse the old forum content here would still be down, so I really don't want to hear your silly speech about why you banned me, it really is your major loss man."

Darksat said: "Lets see if you can understand this, I dont have a problem with you comming in and making some posts saying the colours could be brightened and so on, I do have a problem when you come in as a guest and start posting crap just to try to force me to disable guest posting, so I did to you what I do to ANYONE who abuses the guest post funtion, I banned thier IP RANGE. Now if you ask nicely I can let you back in but I will not stand for you abusing my forum just to try to make some form of point, UNDERSTAND."

AngelaCea said: "Like I said, when that defect is corrected I will consider coming back to contribute, until then I would rather not post on your forum. I tell the same to others who have the same problem, like you said, it is your business, I just don't post on forums that have this defect. Thanks but until it is fixed, I would rather not be a member of the forum, nor will I send any friends that will not get credit for their posts just because they erased their cookies and thought that they were logged in DarkSat. Run your forum your way even if it is second rate."

quinny said: "post count?? i though it was content that mattered Anthony :D"

Darksat said: "Anthony, I run & modify more than 1 PHPBB forum, one of my other forums has nearly 1000 users and so far ive had no complaints, I guess your just a special case, now I like you for some strange reason(when your not pissing me off) however I dont need to be told how to do my job and considering you have hundreds of domains and I have yet to see a decent website on one of them I think its fair to say that I would rather you didnt lecture me on getting my stuff together untill you do the same, if I owned those domains I would have them all hosted and designed in under a year. So I will make you a deal, I will take your advice on how to run my own forum when you show me a profitable web based business you have set up that is bringing you in over $20,000 US a year. Fair enough. :D"

AngelaCea said: "Don't worry about what I am doing DarkSat, we are talking about your sub par forum right now, when you have improved it by fixing this defect, please let me know right here in this thread, until then I am done with your forum and will not tell my friends to join. :eek:"

quinny said: "going round in circles here"

Darksat said: "Anthony you have some balls telling me my forum isnt up to par, now let me be very simple here just so you get it, your website look like it was designed by a retarded monkey, now I didnt really mention this before as it didnt seem like the polite thing to do, but since you dont seem to care about manners or tact I figure its fair to bring it up. Now your not QUALIFIED to give me advice on how to wipe my arse so dont bother trying to tell me how to run MY online business because quite simply, I have a lot more experience than you in that field, AAI Tech forum is a personal project for me and I will do what I like with it, and I would rather you didnt send around your friends because I dont think THEY would be up to par, now if you are done with my forum I suggest you find someone else to preach to as quite simply I dont have the time or the inclination to deal with you. I realise i may be being a bit harsh but I never asked for your advice and I would generally prefer if you didnt give it."

AngelaCea said: "Then why are you promoting it across the forum circuit if it is just a personal project, why should any of us be interested :confused:"

Darksat said: "Are you slow, its a personal project, which means im doing it cause i enjoy it, I spend enough time on forums anyway so I might as well have one where I can just lax and talk about whatever I want, down the line I will probably start doing more with it but at the moment I can make a lot more money doing design, security & SEO, which is where im putting my main effort, for paying clients, im not looking to throw up adsense and im quite happy with the way things are going, its a good little forum with a very high content density and thats the way I would like to keep it. if I wanted to promote it I would invest in some advertising, redesign the graphics to something more newbie friendly and finish the SEO but at the moment I have half a dozen websites to finish, a shell aplication im still working on an advertising network script, half a dozen security scripts to finish plus a host of other things, and im behind in to many of them to be especially worried about what you think. Sorry to be brutal but there it is."

AngelaCea said: "OK, let us know when you really want to run the forum in a professional manner, until then keep me banned :o :)"

quinny said: "[QUOTE]professional manner[/QUOTE] :rolleyes:"

AngelaCea said: "I may be hard on you guys, but it is for your good, I don't care if you hate me :) PS: Love ya Mike :p :p"

Darksat said: "LOL, I can unban you as long as you promise not to mess around with the guest post function and maintain a sense of decorum, but do realise that I have other stuff I should be doing and I spend to much time on my forum and others as it is, as for my professionalisim, im concentrating on the clients that bring in the money, I dont even have time to respond to all the posts I want to on my own forum so I have a tendancy to be hard on people who waste time I dont have, you didnt know so I dont hate you, but you got to realise my time is my own and I will invest it as I see fit."

AngelaCea said: "DarkSat, you have qualities that I like but getting things done on time is not one of them, nor do I admire your hard headedness, you make Edwin look like nothing when it comes to being hard headed. Until you fix your guest posting flaw I will not click on your forum again, I don't care if you unban me or not, is this clear :confused: When you have corrected this flaw that I have let you know about for 3 months or so, I may consider posting on your forum, until then I will not consider posting or reading your forum. Good day, great talking with you today :o"

Darksat said: "I can get things done quite fast, I just tend to take on 100 things at a time sometimes, as for hard headedness, I agree, I am hard headed, but I think your nearly as bad. :p Its been a trip :cool: , take care, Darksat ;)"

edwin said: "this is unreal! shake hands and make up!"

AngelaCea said: "No it's not unreal Edwin, it is as real as it gets and DarkSat understands that if he pushes me that all his venture capital will be gone when I get my funding :eek: :eek:"

Darksat said: "If, when, ever. :rolleyes:"

silatpupil said: "I have 1 question.....but dont anyone kill me for it....... Why do you hate the guest post function so much Anthony? I understand the clearing cookies and not still being logged in issue you mentioned earlier in this thread.....but is that the only reason? Or is there some other significant issue with it?"

AngelaCea said: "Because only forum operators that have not been around all that long would let guests post and it really makes DarkSat look bad, since he is/was a friend I let him know about it and many other flaws on his forum :o PS: If he wants to act like he is 15 I will treat him that way in the future also :eek:"

silatpupil said: "I have 1 section of my forum open for guests, just incase some the members have bother signing in....."

AngelaCea said: "It is stupid because a member assumes he is logged on and posts because the forum allows guests to post then the rest of the members do not know who the post is from. :confused: :eek: That is why it is idiotic to allow guest posting :eek: Plus that member does not get credit for the post either :eek:"

silatpupil said: "But on the other hand, it doesnt take a genius to look at the top of the screen to see in my instance, "Welcome, silatpupil." or "Welcome, guest.""

AngelaCea said: "Forum users are creatures of habit that go from forum to forum, if your forum is diametrically different from the others they visit they will not visit as much or at all after a while. In addition unknown guest posting is a great danger as links to porno sites and malware sites can be left real easy endangering your regular registered members. No new member should get live links anyway until they have at least 10 or more posts."

edwin said: "i think bigtony has blown the "guest posting feature/bug" way out of proportion. he should apologize to darksat!"

AngelaCea said: "No DarkSat should come here and tell the world that he has corrected the flaws in his forum and quit acting like a baby :o"

edwin said: "he has no flaws, only configuration preferences!"

silatpupil said: "[QUOTE=edwin]he has no flaws, only configuration preferences![/QUOTE] I agree. Its a preference, not a flaw. Id say BigTony you seem to be more a creature of habit like those you speak of. And very stubborn to boot if a simple preference of who can post on a forum is enough to make you not visit it and possibly learn new things from other people.... Personally, I dont like guests posting on my forum, Id prefer them to sign up and contribute, but thats just my personal choice.... As for porno links etc, surely thats what mods/testers are there for??"

edwin said: "very true. bigtony is "stuck in his ways". you need to be more flexible. darksat chose to have guests posts, and you should respect his decision."

AngelaCea said: "Who's DarkSat :confused: :cool:"

quinny said: "anthony, not everyone supports your views, that doesn't make them wrong!! the people have spoken... now get of the stage"

edwin said: "he should be used to not getting his own way. its been happening his whole life. :D"

AngelaCea said: "Oneill in the future instead of saying "WE, US, THE FORUM, THE WORLD, WE THE PEOPLE", can you just say "I" and it will be more realistic :p ;) :p"

quinny said: "[QUOTE=anthony]Oneill in the future instead of saying "WE, US, THE FORUM, THE WORLD, WE THE PEOPLE", can you just say "I" and it will be more realistic [/QUOTE] you should listen to yourself :rolleyes: how many times have you said we when it was only you that commented see [URL=http://www.web-mastery.net/thread755.html]here[/URL] and [URL=http://www.web-mastery.net/thread573.html]here[/URL] while [QUOTE=edwin]you need to be more flexible. darksat chose to have guests posts, and you should respect his decision.[/QUOTE] and [QUOTE=silatpupil]Id say BigTony you seem to be more a creature of habit like those you speak of. And very stubborn to boot if a simple preference of who can post on a forum is enough to make you not visit it and possibly learn new things from other people....[/QUOTE] back up my statement "the people""

AngelaCea said: "No Oneill you are wrong, because WE were talking about limiting signatures and live links for new members because of the Webmaster Point guy. You were the one that said it was not WE, but only me. PS: BK, take back that request to make Oneill Moderator, I just fired him along with DarkSat & Edwin. None of those guys would make good moderators here :eek: :eek: :eek:"

quinny said: "back it up!!!! i have not come across where anyone else said such a thing... prove me wrong by all means do"

AngelaCea said: "Go read the Webmaster Point thread real close 10 times :o"

quinny said: "do what ever one else would do and post a link to where it happens :rolleyes: it's not that hard"

AngelaCea said: "It is in that thread Oneill, go read it, just because you never comment on anything because you are a bump on a log most of the time does not mean that is was not brought up, thought about or was discussed :o"

quinny said: "all i'm asking is for you to provide a link to where it was discussed to prove me wrong if you cannot do that well then...."

AngelaCea said: "How many times do I have to tell you it is in that thread, try post # 103 Oneill and remember what I told you about pushing me :o"

quinny said: "[QUOTE=anthonyCea]Yeah, O'Neill knew all along, that is why he kept posting over and over not to trust this guy Next time someone comes in here with links to forums, be sure not to let them use their signature until BK approves it. In addition as I told BK last week he should not allow live links until a member has 25 posts.[/QUOTE] thats you!!!! where does any one else say it :rolleyes: and next time include a link like [URL=http://www.web-mastery.net/showthread.php?t=254&page=11&pp=10]this[/URL]"

AngelaCea said: "I think I was talking to BK at that time Oneill, why did you not comment when you had a chance? Why do you think I get on your ass all the time, mostly because this forum requires input from other members Oneill and you give very little most of the time. We can not read your mind Oneill, you must make posts that people can actually read and understand :o"

quinny said: "[QUOTE=AnthonyCea]I think I was talking to BK at that time Oneill, why did you not comment when you had a chance?[/QUOTE] finally yes YOU and not WE as you had early stated [QUOTE=AnthonyCea]you must make posts that people can actually read and understand[/QUOTE] funny that coming from you :rolleyes: :D"

AngelaCea said: "Get on and help some other members here Oneill before I ask BK to fire you from your future moderator job :o"

<h1> said: "whatever the reasons why he left, i think DarkSat should come back he was a real help to everyone here drama aside aaaight"

edwin said: "he should come back. maybe he's been locked up? maybe his politics got him in trouble. i don't know how we can find out."

quinny said: "[QUOTE=thehumandrum]Ohhh Come On And No One Has Deleted This Thread You Should Be Contacting Each Other Through Pm Or Msn Or Whatever.[/QUOTE] you haven't been here long newbie :rolleyes: :D oh and look it's me :D"
