That's why Cass picked Borgs to be the tech guy in the first place; compared to Joker, he was.....tame.
Functionally dead. Partsking still pays the bills for the domain, but it gets one post a month now days
Please ask again if they would like their own forum here. Send them a link to the Starscape BBS forum where not only is the old core still posting, but the additional WF traffic is boosting participation.
I'm sitting on fat stacks, this place will never die, although I will hang a lolcowbell around Dayton5's septupple chins
Joker was one extremely destructive poster who would not stop at just verbally playing the Joker personality. He was a very disturbed individual and I'm thinking it wasn't only a persona.
After some of the things that went down in the first few years of this board, I dunno how anyone can say the place has gotten worse. If anything, we've gotten relatively tame when in the last year, there's only been two noticable moderator dust ups.
Thanks. Yeah I just saw thread title and thought there was going to be a candlelight vigil for the entire WF community. If this place ever goes down, I am going to miss you guys terribly. I do like the new FB style elements.
Yeah, but for a while there you thought he was hot shit. He was a psychopath and one of the only really dangerous trolls TK had.
Executer was the most potentially dangerous troll TK had to my knowledge. He was very skilled and actually took a few boards down. Luckily for some TBBS mods he did have a code and limits or their lives could have been made a complete mess. He had one of their social security numbers among other real private information. As for Bastien/Jurgen...he was Dat...err..it was a weird second name I don't remember it exactly. What he did was insinuate himself with Cassandra, playing the nice, trustworthy guy until he was offered and accepted a Modship. It wasn't too long later that he flipped out in a blaze of mediocrity and posted his staff password in the Red Room. Calli fairly quickly jumped in and took over his account and changed the password. One could say too quickly. Cassandra then banned them both. Calli did always insist that she was just trying to help and held a grudge for a looooong time. But I don't blame Cass and she made the best call for the board. Those two are notorious lawyer/anti-staff trolls...quite relentless. I think they always regretted jumping the gun and screwing up their chance to try and ruin WF.
Everyone makes mistakes. They were not notorious at the time yet and Bastion's "Dat" name wasn't associated with TK yet. That came out after the fact, IIRC.
It's not surprising at all that they took advantage of EFCL's archaic mess of a Senate and bullied Verteron into shutting the board down.
