    Yeah, but you had already been mentioned. There are two others I’m thinking of. One was really cute. Summer Teeth! That’s her name. The other one sent me Dr Who while I was Iraq.

    Wish I'd known - I was recording onto DVD-R and shipping to Tamar around that time.

    Pretty sure he's safely in the containment grid, and Walter Peck has been promoted out of a position that could be dangerous to that.

    When I was still on dialup Dan was lovely enough to send me the first series of the Doctor Who revival.

    Either that, or the Neutral Zone weeded out the worst of their bunch over the years.

    I remember one numpty who wasn't here for very long saying one of the TBBS mods, having grown tired of his shit, told him to join Wordforge specifically because we'd be more of his speed :bergman:

    I still recall my leaving there.
    Async had just been promoted to mod of miscellaneous and I made a congratu-fucking-lations motherfucker post.
    Insta-banned.

    that was the last time I ever signed in to the land of Electr......icalsupersto.....rms!

    That's all it took for you?
    I had to melt down across 3 forums to get my ban.
    And they still were hesitant.
    Hmm, in hindsight, I think they didn't want me to go. :chris:

    I'm on the far younger end of the spectrum of posters and I turned 37 last month.

    This account is almost as old as I was when I first joined this place. :soma:

    Of this list,

    -TKO: quit the board over it's politics
    -Gul: similar thing, but specifically because of how some of y'all acted after gturner was banned.
    -Async has always been in and out, he's living his best life in between France and Madagascar
    -Aurora had a kid in 2009
    Mewa left over racism, as did Vandygoddess

    -Nick last popped in during the trolling speed over gturner, then prompted noped out as his government name is attacked to posts on this board. Understandably, he wanted nothing to do w this place
    -Kyle is married w two stepkids, which keeps him busy
    -IndigoTiger's had a **really** full life,to put it politely
    -Frontline is an honest to God supremist and Wordforge has lost nothing from his lack of posting. :bailey:
    -the English lady you're probably talking about is @thelurker and she's been long gone bc Tamar wouldn't ban Hood over some shitty remark he made about her daughter on Troll Kingdom from what I remember.

    Not too long ago, a mod from the ENT forum recalled giving a guy a ban over his graphic death threats against Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, and it was well beyond the usual two minutes hate we all threw at them back then...it was graphically describing how he wanted to run them over with his car. Like, some truly unhinged shit I've only ever seen surrounding cartoon ship discourse on Twitter.

    Apparently, Lisa tried to talk him out of banning the guy and he stepped down rather than do that...then she ended up banning that same guy for good about six weeks later for some other bullshit.

    Granted, in hindsight, there was a not insignificant number of Wordforge founding members who just wanted to be edgelords but the moderation at that place left a lot to be desired. :marathon:

    Edit: which, if I'm being honest was a big reason why I stayed here...I'd just signed up to get Stewey's last review on ENT, but the gturner of the ENT forum wanted to shit over everyone because her ship didn't become canon & the mods have her passes because she just didn't use as many profanities as others in her goading. :jayzus:

    yup... it irked me that it was so quick and given that I don't think I'd gotten warned in all the time it'd taken to reach Flaptain's lounge, overkill.
    decided I wasn't gonna play that and this place had just opened up with most of the interesting posters, so..

    I dunno who the poster in question was, but if it was Storm or some other notorious WF personality who has since gone full MAGA, it wouldn't surprise me.

    It was definitely before my time because I know *I* got warned for saying God took the wrong producers after Michael Piller died :lol: Rightfully so.

    Can't recall the name because he had more red flags than a communist war parade in Moscow and I blocked him after his introduction post :shrug:

    Who da fuq are you shit for brains? Oh wait, I figured it out. Yeah I'm supremacist just because I didn't give into the covid panic and never bought into the "Trump is literally Hitler" panic. Hey how's that economy working out for you? I thought it was Trump that was the one that was supposed to start WWIII, and yet ole hair sniffing Joe is taking us to the edge. Sorry your a weak ass. Cry harder.
    Okay so for those that don't know, got separated in July 14 and it fucked my world up. On the advice of my attorney I dropped most social media. Got divorced in 2016. Got custody of the kids (both now in the military). Got remarried in 2019. Honestly in retrospect the divorce was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Life has been fantastic. Not quite lake whore quality, but good enough.

    At least he didn't come in gloating over garamet's death, and bragging about his toys like Andrew Tate.
    So he's a notch above Hood, anyways.
