The dotnet founder had some sort of mental breakdown and ended up kicking everybody out. The need for a new site with sane admins was evident.

Re: Site
I agree with all the above, but Vega is on here, I'd be interested to see the real story. There was a lot of stories about a lot of data, and monitoring trolls and all of that. But something else had to make him snap.

While I don't agree that you should have been 'banned', it's funny that a lunatic ( and very nasty one at that ) is commenting that someone else had a mental breakdown and was not sane.HouseDivided wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 10:43 am The dotnet founder had some sort of mental breakdown and ended up kicking everybody out.

Vega just was tired of dealing with the bullshit - I get it.
I appreciate ( we should all appreciate ) what he put up with for five years.
I offered to take over with NL and colbond and there's where we stand.

Psych didn't go nutz. Vega got carried away on a power trip. Multiple people were locked out without warning or stated reason.

I appreciate the consideration. If you don't mind, what rules did I break that would have warranted a ban? I never got a warning nor an explanation, so it's hard to know how to modify my behavior with no feedback.pdub wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 12:05 pmWhile I don't agree that you should have been 'banned', it's funny that a lunatic ( and very nasty one at that ) is commenting that someone else had a mental breakdown and was not sane.HouseDivided wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 10:43 am The dotnet founder had some sort of mental breakdown and ended up kicking everybody out.

Re: Site
I believe you were pretty nasty to some posters - there was some over the line comments.
I tend to be forgiving when it comes to attacks ( it gets heated on that polibored ) - Vega just had a different line is all - and ultimately it was his site and his decision.
The polibored is a cesspool ( and unfortunately, in my opinion, a needed one to let people vent, given the state of our country ). Keep the vitriol over there and act like adults and we should be good.

I don't think I gave any worse than I got; in fact, I think I was pretty measured compared to the things that were said to me, but whatever.
I appreciate the fresh start. No worries with regard to limiting vitriol.

Re: Site
Per this comment : "I don't think I gave any worse than I got" - generally I actually agree with you towards the end of your stay at dotnet.
Try as best as possible ( and I know that's really tough on the polibored ) to be adults is all I ask.
You don't have to agree with each other - just be adult-like.

I think I got banned for not hating trump ENOUGH.

Oh well. Water under the bridge. PDub is much better and doesn't abuse his power to chase off people he doesn't like.
Re: Site
Thanks for the info. I don't read all the forums so wasn't aware. Thanks for getting this site going. Also, thanks Vega and other owners/mods of the old site.pdub wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 12:05 pmWhile I don't agree that you should have been 'banned', it's funny that a lunatic ( and very nasty one at that ) is commenting that someone else had a mental breakdown and was not sane.HouseDivided wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 10:43 am The dotnet founder had some sort of mental breakdown and ended up kicking everybody out.

Well way back in the early days of kansascrimson.com I assumed the football board was about KU football, but considering how little they give us to talk about, yeah I should have put it there I guess.IllinoisJayhawk wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 1:34 pm
Speaking of, can you move the mahomes thread to the football board? I like to talk about MaHomie but he's misclassified in other sports.
