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

[Genesis]

OMFG

AFF SHUT DOWN...

(either that or I got banned  )

Why?

BECAUSE MOST EVERYONE WANTS A RETURN OF BLOKE.

LOL maybe I got banned too.

Hmm....we should cross reference this... @Genesis, @AspieMomma, @DFG, @Semicolon, @Lestat, can you guys access AFF?

I can't seem to access it... they're is usually a little warning on message boards that tells you you're banned otherwise.

I am disappointed.

By reacting this way instead of engaging Bloke, Bloke comes out on top, especially in light of the fact that he had so much support after the ban. I haven't been there much lately, but I would probably have showed my support as well. I doubt he did anything truly ban-worthy.

By closing the site they are cutting off the only source of meaningful human contact for some. Sure, it is their site, but it means a lot to a lot of people. Some degree of responsibility is taken on because of this whether they like it or not.

After what happened recently with the shuffling if mods/admins this is too much. It was handled very poorly. I don't understand why Genesis could not have been kept on as mod. It seems a but controlling, and this doesn't help that perception.

Now everyone is going to walk on eggshells again, lest they land on the receiving end of a witch hunt style banning spree.

As much as I love I2, AFF is different. It tends to serve the needs of younger people and those who are DXed as adults.  It is smaller than WP, so it is easier to connect with others.

Larry and I were just talking about the idea if putting something together for younger Autists. Maybe this is the kick in the ass we need.

*sighs*

I hope it isn't how it seems...

Exactly, Bloke and the dissidents come out smelling of roses and the people who really need the site suffer. It is all so sad and so predictable.

Predictable?

I would never have predicted that they would shut the entire site down with no word or reason. Complete surprise. And the longer it stays shut down the angrier I get. Someone please start a site called "Searching for AFFers"

I see it as closed, with no reason posted.

The youngsters on AFF put something together while I was away. I visited briefly, but it looked like it'd been slow for a while.

Isn't this why Spectrumites was started?

I missed the latter half of the Ana54 and SixThreeOh drama, so I don't think I saw the post that Bloke was banned for.

Please do! And find a way to contact them....esp mass effect dude (I don't want to put the pseudonyms on here)...It really is one of the only- if not, the ONLY outlet, place for many to retreat. I'd HATE to think of all the AFFers who have something to say, who are confused, who wonder why the site is down (because face it, more than one will probebly freak the fuck out and think it's some cyber attack, or think they have lost contact with all their friends). GOD. FUCK THEM.

What the hell??? And not even an explanation. no reason, no update, no nothing. Just a bunch of people- FRIENDS -who are left hanging in the dark. I really hate them right now.

Don't waste your energy hating. It isn't worth the emotional expenditure. Just see it for what it is: sad, predictable, self-serving, inconsiderate nonsense. I feel bad for the people who this must be effecting though. I can't however be bothered 'hating' Amy Nelson, just not worth the effort.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I probably won't be going back after this. I didn't think Amy was all that bad at first, but to close the site for no apparent reason after an episode of drama she appears to have started is highly irresponsible.

The only young person I spotted on AFF was Some_Bloke, who's 17. Considering the circumstances, it wouldn't hurt to make an exception if he wishes to join....

Well I believe the powers that be over at AFF have massively overreacted in the past. Lets just say I am saddened but not surprised.

Seriously, if you don't give a worth two cents then jog off!

Hi BlueGriffyn,
Welcome to I^2.

[suspicious]Ther other was the loner guy....AnonymousLoner or something (I forget). He's underage. And of course a few others who don't come on as often but are just as cool.[/suspicious]

Irresponsible and irrational to boot.

Some Bloke is very mature acting young man

And never gives any problem

Let him in, IMO

There are more. Unfortunately, this site is hosted in the US[suspicious], and it's full of porn[/suspicious].

Who is this stupidoldman fuckstick? What a shitty troll.

[Genesis]

Some_Bloke was wondering why the site was turned off....

I was wondering the samething as well... I mean I only woke up about two hours ago, and he was the first person to remind me that the site was turned off.

Seriously, all this is just starting to be a real bother....

Yet why cut off a communication line?

Whats the point to it?
