Quick Gareth!!! Someone is talking shit about AFF and Amy!

['andersom']

I know you are reading this, btw.

I wonder what is different this time. Why the meltdown this time does lead to a final ending of AFF.

I would like to know this as well.

The amount of shit I've put up with for those guys, not the least of it here, you'd think they'd give me enough respect to at least explain it to me or...but no. I just get told that they're sick of the drama and that they've received death threats.
Well so did I when I was running AFF, and one of them had my address and real name on. Nobody who was questioning the decision to ban Bloke would have made such a threat to them, so if the threat happened it came from somebody like MadMick.

I still consider Gareth my friend, but I am bitter as fuck over this, and even though we're still talking off-forum and off-IRC, I think I've made it clear that I feel extremely betrayed. I put my all into the running of that forum, and in return I've been treated like shit.

They had death threats before. What is different this time?

['andersom']

On the other hand, people do live, after a forum stops to exist. And, we would notice you being gone for an extended time. I guess Parts would realise then that making a good back-up, and forming a back-up plan would be wise.

Best of all, just keep yourself and your jag healthy.

Indeed.

But friends matter, which is why it should never have to end in something like the current AFF drama.

I totally agree with that.

A death threat is serious. I'd have no problem with calling it quits if it happened enough times.

['andersom']

There is that.

Still wonder what is different. Calling it quits is one thing. Not wanting to hand over the reigns is another.

[Gopher Gary]

Screw them and their forum!

I knew the shit was gonna fall eventually!t trust him

Gareth is as inethical as he can be, and I wouldn't trust worth a damn!

shutup you fake nt imposter! you drag my gud name threw the mud

[odeon]

There is that.

A state of mind, maybe?

You cannot control what you do not own.

Reading this, I'm struck by how so many of you depend on Gareth and Amy. To some degree you seem to realise this is the case but all it takes is the flip of a coin.

I have on occasion thought about what would happen here if I was struck by a car one day. Not that I'm important; I'm not, but the fact is that I pay for the hosting and the domain name, which means that if I disappear it would be hard for anyone to take over the place.

If I leave this place voluntarily, I know I'll hand it over to someone before I leave and hope they'll do the same, eventually. It's the decent thing to do. But people disappear all the time. Callaway, for one, and I really miss her, and I'm worried about her.

So, what to do?

It's pretty selfish of Gareth and Amy to shut down AFF because they got butthurt. Why not simply hand it over to someone else?

Hope you'll stay healthy, and your jag too.

Do you have any contact with Parts or Ren, or any other I2 member outside I2?

Why don't you put it in your will?

[Jesse]

maybe someone can make a donation to skyblue's new forum and then he can shut it down.

 :lolwat:

[Eclair]

Not wanting to appear ignorant,  I googled AFF to see what the fuss was about.

Anal Fisting has never really been an interest of mine.

It's is a serious thread, but....

Bahaahhahahaha

I got Adult Friend Finder....clearly your search engine picks up much saucier things than mine!

[Adam]

and I got the Army Families Federation

*sighs* 

[Parts]

Do you have any contact with Parts or Ren, or any other I2 member outside I2?

Not the way I used to. Parts, to some small extent. What's important is that he can actually download a copy of the db if he wants to. I'm not sure he realises it, though.

Which is all it takes, really. Set up SMF somewhere, upload a backup, run a script to repair pointers and such, and off you go. The domain would be different but the data would be intact.

There would probably be more tinkering to make everything work but essentially all it takes is a backup of the db.

I still have all the directions and such in a text file in my I2 folder on my desktop to do that just never realized it would be that easy to start over just in case it's good to know
This whole thread is disturbing for one I can't believe just what assholes people can be and for people they insisted they were trying to help. 
Secondly that in a thread on I2 that's  over 20 pages  no one  has yet to post tits This must be rectified

So, does this mean that we can kill Odeon, without losing the site
