Wow, two days ago I got back on my feet, and now I noticed that Grawl got the ban-stick. Hell broke loose when I was away or something? And yes, I read the topic Grawl made in a very emo and bitchy fashion... Ah well, I won't miss him.

Hm can somebody answer me why he's still in all groups? Lunar who got banned only got a group called "Banned". I'll never been fooled by a joke twice a day, so I'm going to sit back until tomorrow and wait for any results.

Believe me, this is no joke. I spoke to Grawl on Skype earlier and he was legitimately pissed off.

I'm so jumping into the fires of mount doom, holding this forum with smeagol on my back if Zaodai can't handle its infinite powers. It's what the protector does......

How come there are only recent messages in the Mod forums, and most Topics that are sorta Hydepark (talk about everything random) were made almost in the same time? The oldest topic is from 4 days ago. And seriously, i doubt mods and admins have nothing better to do than talk about about boobs and such in theyr own private forums. This and aprils 1, makes me doubt even more

I shall answer your questions regarding the suspiciousness of this endeavor!

First, when someone is banned they aren't removed from the groups they were already a part of. The banned status supersedes all other groups, so it would be pointless busywork.

Second, why are the topics all from within the last week? Because, believe it or not, the moderator forum has only been around for about that long. Before that we had another secret forum for each specific topic (who to ban, rules discussions, announcement drafts, etc.). Of course, you give these sickos some reason to act elitist and it all turns into /b/. 'twas gonna bust some skulls, but then a hole got haxx'd into the fabric of our little hideaway, and some of the forum's intestines gushed out. Figuratively speaking.

Aethonic isn't being COMPLETELY forthcoming there. The Moderator forum I revealed is the one that the Feedback Crew has access to. That one has only been around for a week or two.

There's an Admin only forum, but it is (mostly) pissing match free, because Grawl couldn't push around the other admins. Or at least he was too scared of reprisal to try.

I'm all for socialism, but Grawl still owns the domain and he can just rip the entire site off the web without a second thought. As much as I still believe this is an April Fool's prank, I'd recommend moving the forum as soon as possible if you're serious.

idk if i trust this subject because of the day as well as the fact you said the site is paid in advanced for the next 6 months. If he was really as heavy handed as you said he'd regain control of the site. it might be better in news instead of general though.

When you compare both, you will see that Grawl's purple nick is a bit lighter, than the color Banned ppl get. Just compare Grawl and Grawler.
A special ban for admins?
