My diagnosis of the problem is that it is dominated by just a few people with no life. If you're willing to devote the time, post very frequently and sometimes even create sock puppets or band together with a few others with no life, you can completely control the atmosphere of a forum. Just because I have a diagnosis does not mean I know the cure. :)

So instead you join the group that dominates the board. Just sayin'

Oh, wow. You dug up and necroed a thread that's been dead for 2 years for a comment that's 4 years old for that zinger, aye? Was it worth it? Do you feel better now?
The search feature doesn't care how old a thread is. If you search for "bbs", it is the first thread in the FTL child board that shows up in the results. Also, the thread title and subject is appropriate.

I assume you're talking about when I woke up one day as a mod, that I never asked for.
That also happened to me. But it was Ian that made me a mod. John Shaw decided to make you a mod.

You say you won't even read the TOS over there. I was banned for attempting to make you read the TOS. Banned for moderating.

And FWIW, since the 4 years since I posted that, I do like the FTL forum better.
The FTL BBS had some activity 4 years ago. It is pretty much dead now. I wonder why?  :roll:

Okay. I suggest you explain that to whoever banned you.

I actually had, but that's not even relevant. Pretty sure that reading is not what's required. Not violating them is what's required, and my whole point by JOKING about not bothering to read them was that all that takes is common sense to not violate them. You pretty much have to be trying to be a douche. You need to watch the Human Cent-iPad episode of South Park.

Hmm... After speculating wildly, I have come to the only reasonable conclusion a sensible and rational person could come to. I, DALEBERT, HAVE SINGLE-HANDEDLY DESTROYED THE FTL BBS! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I just came.



You make it so easy. This is all so contrived and absurd. Just admit that you just despise me and you're a douche.

You killed it, Dale.  I'm glad you finally realize that.

"Excuse me, would you leave me alone?"   Classic.

Hey, wasn't that cop pointing at Derrick?   Isn't that assault?   Of course, knocking someone off their bike is also assault.

I guess I need to go listen to last night's FTL to find out WTF.

The cop followed him around with his lights and siren on for a while before doing anything.  I'm pretty sure that when you choose to ignore the cops and attempt to evade them in these sorts of situations 1) it's illegal and 2) you should expect to be chased down and physically stopped.  It would be one thing if Derrick was bicycling on private property, but he was on a public road.  This sort of "activism" is silly and won't win you any friends or support.

I don't know if it was activism.  It seemed that Derrick wanted to just live free.  He likely knew that he was breaking the law and risking months in jail.  He didn't seem to care.  If he serves months in jail over this, perhaps it is what he wanted?

It was "activism" because he was filming this and had every intention of turning it into a public matter.  I think it's just a poor form of activism.  Sure, the cop may have gone a little overboard, but it's hard to verify from the video what exactly happened, especially after Derrick fell off his bike.  Even so, Derrick was obviously acting like an idiot.  I'm sympathetic to the liberty activist folks in Keene, but when someone who is sympathetic toward your cause is questioning the wisdom of your activism (or activities), I think it's a pretty sure bet that those who are indifferent or hostile to your cause will definitely not be supportive or swayed.

THIS.

This is the point that Ian and company don't seem to get.  Yup the rabid anarchists will lap it up - but they are the only ones.  Hell when I first found this place I was all gung ho about moving the NH - especially Keene - and getting active.  After seeing some of the useless, meaningless drama that is just alienating the very people you want to "wake up" as Dale calls it, I don't know that I want to move to Keene and be associated as one of those Free Keene nutjobs by most everyone I meet.
