HUZZAH! Banned from Rentech.com!
Kitiara:
Personally, I like the way it is now. I really liked MTS2 when I first found it. After a while all things I actually wanted to dl were links to various. OK. No big deal. Switched forums. Was happier anyway.
Then <poof>!
All the stuff I like moved again. No big deal. I followed it. Like this move even better.
This is now my forum of choice, easily more awesome than them. It has great potential. Should be harder for Pescado to piss off the management, and he has the ability to ban any idiots that wander in, if he chooses to burninate.
I've been mostly a lurker, but a regular and faithful one. Pescado, you keep my game from imploding. I'll follow you anywhere, even if you go insane and kick yourself out of here.
Feel free to ridicule my simpering mushy sentimentality.

From my personal experience banning somebody is a bad idea, going with the whole free speech idea (speech is free and you generally get what you pay for). If idiots and morons enjoy posting inane comments, they shouldn't be banned, they should be made fun of ... they will go away eventually. If intelligent people want to make valid points and criticise something, that is their right, let them do so, it only reflects badly on your own maturity for censoring intelligent criticism/complaints/suggestions etc.
You can tell its all going south when you get something like "Well if you don't like the way its run, then go somewhere else!"
But after all that ...fighting is fun though, but its frustrating to have a battle of wits with unarmed people :)

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the situation, Rentechd and Pescado have completely different concepts of how a site should be run and should never have become co-admins. Never.
I think it's sad that it happened, that it went wrong, and there's no point in anyone openly taking sides and keeping the wounds open; just like with a divorce, the involved parties have to adjust to it in their own ways.

Yes, yes, your Ingelogical viewpoint is that everyone should have their own seperate site, we know. To some extent, you may have a point, but I think it's more a question of the site you end up than anything else.

Aww, but what would be the fun in that? Besides, divorces are a green memory when the parties involved hate each other. If you make sure they hate each other first, the divorce is a nice happy green memory and there's much less crying and whining about it.
Besides, have you heard the latest blurb? Apparently, I have it on good authority that "conveniently" around this time, a number of unidentified parties apparently attempted to "hack" the site. Mind you, this is conveniently after the *FIRST* "hacker scare", which we all could tell was obviously a dig at my possession of a database backup. Frankly, this new one is simply insulting. "Unsuccessful hack attack"? Pssh. Do I look like somebody who FAILS?!? I assure you, if I were going to make a hack attempt, it would be SUCCESSFUL!

However, I didn't say *no one* should be co-admins; I said *you two* should never have been co-admins. There's more than a subtle difference between those two statements.
My preference for many small sites rather than one or two huge ones does not go as far as saying each site should only have one creator associated with it! Groups of two or three are great, as are the occasional large site as long as they don't approach monopoly status. I use and support large sites such as TSR and MTS2, as well as mid-sized sites such as VS
