I want to apologize to jac714 and ttousi for not being on line during the heat of the battle, if I'm ever in a fight for my life I want those two step out in front of me........... :lol: :lol:

There is not alot that I can add to this other then to say that if the intent was not to improve the forum and make it more enjoyable to more members it very well could have been done differently. Think about it, if there was a conspiracy, bias and hidden agenda's two very simple thing's could have been done........... the switch to the forum could have been turned off and or any member the owner or mod's had problem with could have been banned out right..........

If your still here bitching then you better figure out who the conspiracy was against because their not saying anything.

Does everybody realize that there are over 1100 deleted posts and countless edited posts on this forum already? If this surprises you then this whole reminder about the rules probably doesn't apply to you.

There have been some attempts to correct that but clearly Rucker can't be everywhere all the time. The pendulum is swinging again, eventually it'll even out. Hopefully with everyone still here and participating.


Dont you have the title of Admin somewhere else ??I would suggest you worry about your own backyard :D


In what way does the fact that Plblark, like several others who post here, are members of or admins/mods of any other board give you the right to interfere with their right to express an opinion here?

Seems to me if anyone else tried that on you you would be screaming about "your rights"

Ace, Did you even read my post? I've consciously tried to build bridges between the activism done on both boards but we know how that turned out. I'm not here as much as I'd like due to filters and time commitments. And, quite frankly, because there's a large signal to noise discrepancy. I've enjoyed the MGT events I've attended and really enjoy most of the people here. Heck, get you on a steel shoot range, and your personality seems to mellow some. This site has a great community and a lot of fun events. But chaos has reigned and a bit of order is probably a good thing. This too shall pass and things will even out.

As to my admin status anywhere ... that has to do with the governance here how? I'd love to see both boards prosper because they both have different atmospheres and different areas of focus. Like Pat said: Two boards, ONE cause. I try not to bring mud from either house into the other. I have no control over others and can only shake my head in disdain for the divisive back and forth. The Hetfields and McCoys were feuding through GENERATIONS long after anyone really knew what was the root cause and definitely after there was any chance to change the past. This buiness is getting kind of like that.

Best of luck,

So the truth is you delete post without anybody having any knowledge of it. Kind of sounds like what Hitler did.

Yeah, Hitler sure was an ass on his internet forum.

Unless it's the same 3 or 4 people who just don't learn I notify the poster and give an explanation of why it was removed. I don't edit posts to change the meaning. I simply replace whatever is breaking the rules with <REMOVED> and usually put in explanation at the bottom.

Or... I'm secretly Hitler :roll:

My point though is that just because there are new moderators and they posted a reminder about the rules doesn't really change anything. I'm glad that some things were clarified in this thread but, for the most part, I think it's a whole lot of hysteria about nothing.

Why doesn't everyone just calm down for a couple of days and see what happens. We want to make the forum a decent place that the maximum amount of people can enjoy so, if you have a concern, PM me or the other moderators and we'll see what we can do.

Thank you!

Yes. Thank god I still have that. That quote was the second post on the thread so that theory is off, or I knew where this was going.

Oh, you act like that's a joke but if we find the quotes that prove it, they'll be in German so you won't let us post them!
