I know I've not been very active on the forum for a while but I've been keeping an eye on things and doing some background cleaning (getting rid of inactive members etc).
Anyway I came across this message and thought it'd be a fun read for you.
First a bit of history. The forum was pretty quiet and a young 'un joined along with some of his school chums. They weren't happy with the the way things were being run ie. didn't want to play by the rules. After much messing about and ignoring many warnings most of them got banned. I then received the following messages through one of group who'd kept quiet during the little revolt-
My message for Woz.
Listen up, you heartless b*****d, This is indeed Zim speaking to you. I was not banned because i didn't get what i wanted, and we both know that. It is because i was living under the reign of Adolf Woz. You and your Nonssensical Forum Nazism drove me away. My New Guard Forum already has more active members than your's! Anyway, I did not come just to insult yu, i came to give you a second chance. A chance to embrace a new light, the light of a forum led by Zim, the light of a forum with respectable leadership, the light of a forum without 20 rules that is not lead by nazis. I give you a segment of the way we see it. Well it all started when Titan zero decided to join the Imperial Guard message board in June of 2006. He soon convinced a fellow poster from a Tyranid forum, the Hive to join him and try to restore the site from the brink of death. Edelman had been watching the site from afar for a couple of weeks and when he saw some activity decided it was worth it to join in the effort. The three of them set out to get the site back on track, and as old posters and new came to the site, so did interest from the old mods. These mods had no real interest in kepping the site up, so they handed off the regins of leadership to...nope I bet you guys were thinking Titan, Zim, and Edelman. Actually they gave it to a relatively new less than active poster, a younger member, and a very old one. Together the three new 'Modissars' as they are called began to take control of the forums in their icy vice-grip of doom. They began enforcing ridiculous rules and regulations, began warning people of so called "innappropriate usage of posting and features" and discouraged some of the new found interest, while others took up arms along side them in ending all the fun at the message board. Well after about two weks of nonsensical Forum Nazism, Titan took it upon himself to begin anew and created the Imperial Guard Traitor Legion Board, which was to be the rising force to drive out the Imperial Guard Message Board. He recruited Zim and in turn Edelman, and the three once again set off to begin recruiting members and making a fun and inviting atmosphere for players of Warhammer 40,000.
Now you see the way we see it. Now you see why i am mad. did not want to spam you into the ground, oh no, far from it! I wanted proper leadership. We had told you and me to lay off, we had TOle you you were being to strict, but alas, i had to do someting. Now i am giving you one more chance. You may do one of 2 things. EIther #1. Unban me and i will stop spamming, however i expect a change in the way things are done, or #2, join my forum and submit to my rightous leadership.If i do not recive a reply i will rejoin ussing another account and continue to spam you into the ground. THe same goes if you do not comply. Thank you for you're time
