Hey everyone Smile Been a lurker here for a long time, thought I'd finally register and say what's up. You've got a wealth of information here, I've enjoyed reading it all and learning new tricks.

Werd.

Thanks for the welcome everyone Wink

Believe it or not, this is the only forum I've been to in a long time where retarded n00bs and forum drama seem to get extinguished quickly (from what I've seen anyways) ... You wouldn't believe some of the crap I've seen.

LOL I've never actually been there.

I used to be an admin at a site called timetravelforum.net. It used to be pretty cool with some interesting topics and I got made admin to help move them from IPB to vBulletin. Eventually it degraded into a bunch of dumbasses convinced there's some kind of NWO and that the world is going to end or something.

There was this one kid who kept signing up under different names and kept getting banned. He'd do annoying shit like PM random people asking them about the future or something stupid like that. I got suspicious of a screen name and I used this little add-on to check his private message inbox and found out it was him. I told some of the staff what I'd done just so they knew and I guess one of them got all paranoid.

For like 2 months after that people were spreading rumors and stuff telling everyone I was some kind of spy (there's a couple hardcore government conspiracy nuts on there). Not ONCE did anyone ask me what was really going on and I had no idea what was up until it was too late.

These few staff members said they were 100% sure I was reading all their PMs and going through the chatlogs (which I had no access to Wink ) and that they weren't going to participate in the site until I left. There'd been similar ostricizations before this too where staff ganged up on someone for this same kind of crap.

I finally just said "fuck you all" and left. I PMd the new owner (the site has switched ownership 2 or 3 times in less than a year because of all the drama that goes on) and asked him to just ban my ass. I ain't gonna be a part of no paranoia shit.

Anyways, that was like 2 or 3 months ago so it doesn't matter anymore. Just telling you all how cool this place seems compared to the bitch pit I came from.

Peace.

--EDIT--
By the way, whoever designed this place did a good job. I'm a web/print designer and I've never seen a PHPbb forum laid out so nicely with ALL the images customized.
