    The title pretty much covers the question.

    Gul is still here, despite the fact that it is his actions that caused the board to implode.

    Why is HE still here?

    He owns the board and you don't. Don't like it? Eat a doughnut wrapped around a cock.

    First John was the villain, because supposedly the Violet Room was his brainchild (it wasn't). Now it's gul, even though the Violet Room is gone and gturner was banned by John with the go ahead given by Anna. This place is strange. :confuzzle:

    Yes. It was totally wrong of Anna to rage ban Faceman.

    Oh...


    Wait....

    Yes, that was gul. So that's it? Considering the ban was reversed that's not a lot of meat for the mob.

    How about his stated intent to get rid of gturner, his desire to ban him outside the rules, his sanctioning of the VR to do so, his belligerent refusal to admit anything wrong in any of it and his threats to members who challenged it?

    Well...in words he doesn't....
    But in actions?
    Someone who thinks their actions are proper can proudly shout them from the rooftops, and pound their chest like Tarzan.
    Gul doesn't act like that.
    Gul acts like a sneaky weaselly sumbitch that wants to get away with something.

    I "fell on my sword" because it was the right thing.

    The ONLY reason I gave the go ahead for his ban was because of the flagging from the other posters logging into his account and it smelled a whole lot like "fucking with the board" territory. And honestly, I'm insulted no one involved with that reached out to anyone on staff about that. You hate the owners and John, fine, but certainly @Order2Chaos or @Christopher among others deserve some benefit of the doubt, no?

    Actually, the domain is registered in Anc's name. And it just renewed.

    We all had a problem with you, John, and Gul. You guys did the right thing. Gul hasn't.

    To be fair, when gturner gave others access to his account, he potentially revealed the contents of PMs sent to him by people who had not given permission for that. So there was a legitimate reason to ban him, at least temporarily. It was just bungled.

    Please don't say "we". Not everyone agrees with your take (or your pathetic spamming outside the RR to get a ban). John was just a mouthpiece who should've been left to the tech stuff and didn't fully warrant the level of abuse he got. Anna was capable of change because she can admit her mistakes.

    Yeah, that's what nobody seems to understand.

    If anyone can be said to "own" Wordforge, it's Ancalagon. He's paying to register & lease the domain name.

    Someone is also paying the $140 yearly fee to license XenForo.

    Everyone else is just someone who was given passwords to access the adminCP. Whether they paid money for the privilege of being let into the clubhouse I don't know. But they don't "own" Wordforge.

    Gul doesn't "own" Wordforge. He serves at the pleasure of Ancalagon.

    Anc is still the man behind the curtain, which is disappointing, as he seems to have nothing but contempt for Wordforge and it's members.

    He doesn't need to pay for it. It will be given to him because he's going to make an offer that can't be refused.

    Maybe you should post more of your personal porn collection.

    After all, Jesus did say turn the other cheek. Except on the internet, that shit is serious business.
