    The board has gone down and been down for a few days now. Maybe @missmannerz knows what happened to it.

    That or Tamar is getting one last troll in from beyond the grave but cutting off Castle's outlet to bitch about Wordforge (which is 110 percent of the new threads created this past year anyway) :lol: For all the BS we've tossed at each other though, it would be sad to see a piece of old TNZ history go dark.

    So. Interesting thing: It apparently isn't down.

    For some reason, my phone has flushed its logon info, so if I go there as a guest, I'm able to get in and there are posts since the crash*. But my laptop has my logon info stored, so if I try using that, I get a redirect to some random site. So far I haven't had the time or inclination to follow up on it, but it may be that the site is back up but still has some problems.

    Anyone? Bueller?

    Hey @Bickendan do you know if TK has a refuge on some other site? They've played host to us on many occasions and I'm sure I speak for the rest of the owners by extending the chance to return the favor.

    Supposedly there's a board related to real-efcl that's hosting a refuge to both TK and refcl. I've let Mentalist know we're offering a refuge, but he's not fast on returning my messages. I'll let Eggs know.

    He has. But I don't post all that often any more, since my "Castle" account got banished.

    (Come on, don't say none of you ever noticed that Castle never badmouthed the "Asyncritus" account.)

    Now stop bothering me, I have to go rip off some donuts from some homeless people...

    I didn't see the point, other than as a place to occasionally snipe at people on Wordforge, or worse, to mess with personal info.

    According to the niece of the pen-pal of his favourite rent boy's drug dealer's parole officer's cousin, he was found face down in a pile of papers, having vomited blood and his last meal of 'Methhead Nachos' (cardboard triangles coated in jism) all over them and having attempted, what the coroner recorded as, 'auto-sodomisation with a cactus'.

    Apparently, according to his favourite rent boys pimp, it was the finest thing he'd ever managed to set down on paper, a sort of Rothko-meets-Pollock-meets-Millie Brown...

    He's done so several times, and they've always been super obvious.

    Doesn't Castle have the ability to post on the WF FB page still?

    As far as I can tell, he either unsubscribed to that, or was kicked. Since it has no official connection to this site, I can't confirm that he isn't a member, but I don't think he is.

    I can't recall whether it was during his trial ban or after his perma. It was more spectacular than the slow burn at Troll Kingdom.

    Wasn't basically just him ranting and raving for hours and then days on end, culminating in:

    "LIBERALS, FASCISTS, FUCK THEM, WHO'S COMING WITH ME?!?!?"

    And then even that group (many who are disgruntled ex members) saying, fuck off, you deserved it.

    And then JC quitting the group.

    Was that how it went down or am I misremembering?

    Yeah, that sounds right. I think he was posting every few minutes for a solid 72 hours. What drug enables that? I can't even stay up for 24 hours straight.

    The best was when John Castle really, really flipped out - like a 6 day meth binge flip out - and started to threaten to sue Wordforge and its members. Think that might have carried over to Facebook.

    Then $corp photoshopped John Castle's threatening posts onto images of John Castle looking angry and we all laughed our asses off.

    I never joined the WF page, so I guess I missed that. Was it really for 72 hours without any break other than a few minutes?

    Pretty sure it was before you guys even took over. Remember the graphics Scorp did? Like this...

    Yeah, there was that one, then there was the second one. Who knows? He has had so many spectacular drug induced meltdowns, who among us can even keep track at this point?

    Somebody may need to hack Gordon P Firemark's files for a full accounting.

    Whats the deal with it? Down for fixing or dead for good? I must say that in times of extreme need - for example sitting in a dentists waiting room, i enjoyed having a look and seeing Castle bleating about WF more than a year after he was punted.

    Back on subject: what is the story on TK?

    Not that I post there much... I just like to wander in and kick jack in the nuts now and then.
