I am Borgs, former Wordforge owner AMA

I am a permanently banned member!

He goes by Data Holmes on TBBS, if you still post there..

That username still cracks me up, to say that he's only now just learned how to spell correctly and is still a creepy, woman-hating retard.

Perma-banned

Like WF, TBBS also has a one creepster at a time quota.

If you'd like I can contact T'Bonz about a trade.

Bannings just don't hold that well on xenforo. We actually managed to ban Packard, and yet here he is.

Since this an AMA:

What caused the Puss breakup? Any good stories?

What exactly have you been doing these last 10 years?

Why did Miniborgs stop posting and how do we get her back?

Do you have any friends you could invite to WF? You Brits have been falling off over time.

Well, to be fair, just because the administrator offers amnesty, doesn't mean that everyone else is required to be okay with it.

^^ That's why I said "please".

But what's the point of dredging up the past, other than to stir up shit? We've all got a past, and at the end of the day...it's just the goddamn Internet.

Welcome back.

Living apart after uni for a year, given we'd lived together almost 3 years prior was the environment really.

Also we were in a very co-dependent type relationship, not knowing many other people (more so after uni), putting a lot of strain on the relationship.

In retrospect, there were a lot of problems in the relationship, but I didn't know any better.

I heard via a friend she got married about 3-4 years ago.

After uni I worked at a school for a year doing office admin work as I couldn't get a job in IT. (I didn't complete my computer science degree).

After that I took an expensive IT training course in technical support / systems administration. I did a presentation on Wordforge as a part of the technical presentation module! Shortly after this the last of the Wordforge drama went down and I was kicked out.

Having got some industry skills, I got a crappy technical support job in Slough

After that I got an ecommerce job and started a proper career as a web sysadmin.

I've probably not done as much as you might think, I don't holiday frequently, I've only a handful of friends, my major achievements has been my career. I'm trying to diversify things of late.

I don't know, after a while of:

I had to tell her not to update me any more because it would make me rage. I will mention to her she is missed though.

Back in the day I recommended a full recruitment programme, tried a short lived foray into site blog content and of course my favourite area, Quotable Wordforge. Doing this for PPUK is more challenging, but more worth it in the long term IMO.

Over time, unless there is a moderate to high level of new members combined with a matching diverse range of topics, moving towards a more homogeneous community in terms of demographics and views is an inevitability IMO. I would also say the USP for Wordforge was always 'more liberal than trekbbs', but that's quite niche and could have been extended extensively.
