You really do need to get life chosen. There must be better things to do than sit here all day making nasty comments.
He likes to toss the salad of cyberspace :lol:
I am glad you two have reunited. It is a love story for the ages....."Nocti & Bob - When Ass meets Fist". Oh I am such a romantic. 
Not meaning to derail the love in going on here. But, Sir_Les, what happened over at AFF?? 
Amy was always a force on that forum, but most of her work went on behind the scenes. AFF was set up with good intentions.
A mob have held quite powerful influence on AFF for too long.
The mob didn't like it when Amy banned one of their members for 48 hours. This lead to the mob bullying the admin. and working against the interests of forum, (but of course they continued to use the AFF forum while they did this 
).
Les had been PMing other members to leave AFF and go to another forum started by evilzakkie. Amy banned 3 of the ringleaders max, les and Pika. About 10 people, left to go to the other forum, not 60 as stated by Les.
You portray Sir Les very well rossco. Sir Les Patterson, alterego of Dame Edna was as much a slimeball as you are.
Actually that is not correct either Lucie.Are you making this up as you go? You were banned well before I.
Who was banned? Well me, Max, Korrigan, PikaJedi, Bardwolf, MicGrace and EvilZakkie (I haven't really kept up with it too well. There maybe more)
Amy had not been behind the scenes, Amy was raising a baby and devoted what little time she had to spare to litesims.com. Gareth on the other hand was almost completely involved in the litesims project and admitted this.
Many trolls in the meantime latched onto this loose moderation (as the main power of moderation was with the Admins - Gareth and Amy) and little with the mods. You will know this is true Bob, you were one of them. You were eventually banned for it so take a bow. You were also probably the most hated person who ever came to that site.
We became self-governing and had to form our own values, culture and means of governing outside of the tradition Admin functions.
Gareth came back and even though I bumped heads a few times over things I still believed he was a decent man and he did seek to do the right thing bye the members and the forum. He came back and started making contact with the forum and getting involved again. He gave CBC and EvilZakkie Admin status.
Evil Zakkie set up the back up forum on one of a spate of my downtimes at AFF over a short period in time. Basically it was to keep the community together. I thin by the time a week or two later that AFF was up the forum had about 30 members. It was kept in case the AFF went down again.
Basically Amy rejoined the forum and presented herself as agitated School Mistress with a big stick wanting to patronise or punish those around and made references to bullying (nothing specific but allusion nonetheless). It was "generally"ignored. A couple of us did get a warning after she swore at a member and Caps locks half her reply. (It was me she was shouting at)
The thread was where she basically said AA was bullshit and a member who was wanting to give up drinking and go to AA took this advise and left the thread. Others had experience direct or otherwise with alcoholism and/or AA.
Amy was not prepared to put her hand up and apologise. She was happy banning a member over fuck all. She was prepared to snipe, delete posts, edit posts and being in general a righteous, arrogant despot. I called her to rights. Everything I though she did or said wrong I called her on and she was incensed by it instead of taking any responsibility for it. It became everyone else's problem. Whilst I was doing this other incensed members were doing things like posting gagged avatars in protest of her unreasonable and out of control censorship and history re-writing. She banned a little 15 yr old member and many members walked out. I came home from work saw the member was banned and no one on the board during prime time and not knowing what had happen had thought they had left in disgust or being banned (It was a staged 48 hr walk out). I took issue with her and Gareth. They accused me in turn on spamming everyone with PM's telling them to leave. I had nothing to hide (In fact I was told about an hour before my banning by a member on site - but I had figured I had missed the boat and that it was too late.) I advised them to take a stickybeak themselves. They said it was physically impossible which I disbelieve. I then offered to forward all the PM's I had sent in the last week. Again their foundation of belief tested, they banned me and thus my access to prove on way or another and made that the official reason.
Pretty piss weak all in all but whatever they were hoping, the other forum has pretty much all the actively involved posters (about 70) and AFF has locked its doors. Would have been eassy and advised God only knows how many times for them just to say, "Sorry brainfart, we were a little out of line. Tis is what we are wanting, envisage, hope for this site, we have lost track of what this site has evolved into, I want you guys to help us get there. Who is in?" I would have backed them.
Not of course wishing to say that you have any reason to be biased as to what occured there and not that you were even on board whilst this happened, hey "BOB". (BiB - LOL)
