Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Oh....easy there Governor....your talking like I side swiped your vette or something. Whatever your crisis is now I didn't mean to make it worse with my comments. I only said a sit out, not a complete walk out or anything about making choices between Wes and your website. I know how to demonstrate peacefully Rich and you have plenty of mods dressed in full riot gear in case it gets out of hand. Lets see what happens shall we?
I'll be sitting out on Fauna for the next two days, if ANYONE wants to join me thats their decision. But I don't need ANYONE else to do what I need to do nor am I asking ANYONE to join me. I'm doing this not in protest of fauna and its rules, but rather in honor of a guy that I feel made this place a whole lot safer from bona fide bad guys and generally just more entertaining to be a part of.
Catch you in 48 hours....
One last thing...has it ever dawned on you that when you initially suspend someone that perhaps a "cooling off period" is in order before they can become reinstated to post? How many times have you suspended someone only to have them immediately come back to continue what caused their suspension? I mean, for chrissake, even a jail has a drunk tank to sleep it off for 24 hours before you can be on your way again.

Marcia, I am not even sure he does. And not because of Rich, he respects him. Thats all I will say on that.
I was trying to say my peace of what I knew of the situation. I am happy to see, though, that I am not the only one that will miss him here.

No crisis here, Bill. I'm just telling you the way it is here now. I am making it plain to everyone that I'm not putting up with the crap any longer, no matter who it is from and what the reasons behind it. The point of this thread, as far as I can tell, is to try to second guess my decision about some "guy" who proved he was not compatible with the stricter enforcement of the rules here lately. If you find that worthy of "honor" then that is your decision to make. If you feel that some entertainment value has been lost with his absence, then so be it. Personally, I have decided that "entertainment" is not a goal I want to strive for with this site.

Sorry, but I find it difficult to believe that anyone would feel that retroactive stricter enforcement of the rules would be fair at all.

So it is......... Thank you.
But unless "Chuck" or "Critical Bill" drops that statement in his user title:
I will be changing it to something else. Like Fined & Suspended........ And he is getting awfully close to the 100 point ejection limit.
I can see that I am going to have to create a catchall warning that says something along the lines of:
ANYTHING at all that the moderators or admin consider as generally abusive in nature of this site or the members (either past or present) within. Evidently I need that to catch the loopholes that some people seem keen on searching out and exploiting.

And just who are those "people" you are referring to? Are they actively posting now? For the record, I am quite grief-stricken with regard to Wes' absence even though I think his ousting was a long time coming. I only wish I had the opportunity to say goodbye.
