If he really is gone, then there's some hope that this once vibrant forum will revive itself.

The month you made this post is the same month John Shaw posted this: http://bbs.freetalklive.com/general/why-flame-wars-won't-save-the-bbs-long-term/msg641287/#msg641287 (http://bbs.freetalklive.com/general/why-flame-wars-won't-save-the-bbs-long-term/msg641287/#msg641287)  is, according the forum stats, the month the BBS died.  There was one more 2k post month afterward but it was an anomaly.  August 2011 was the first month with no new members and there have only been 7 since. All 7 registered in March 2012.

They regulated this BBS to death :( 

I heard a rumor that by the end Brasky said he wasn't even libertarian.  Is that true?

It wasn't regulated out of existence, it's just hard to keep up against FaceBook, Tumblr, and all that other social crap

I blame Facebook and Reddit. There used to be a time when I'd check this forum repeatedly each day. RIP.

Never was a Libertarian.  I don't want to be associated with a group that largely can't agree what the fuck it believes in.  

Oh, BTW- I banned Archibald because he's Royce, AKA Ecolitan.  Who was permabanned, and didn't understand the perma part.

And he whined to me to unban him... on my website... which is completely inappropriate. For all of you who want to whine to me, I would like to state for the record that I don't give a shit if you get banned, unfairly or otherwise. Filters on email are easy to create so that future attempts to contact me that way will just go str8 to the trash.

I'm not going to be a moderator much longer. It's probably a good thing that I don't want this role. If you think Brasky is abusive with a ban hammer, I would gleefully shove the ban hammer up your ass and spin it without lube. Then I would drink your pain-induced tears. They give me strength.

Wait, you still use email filters?!

HAHAH you are funny when you talk dirty.. you do know the ban hammer is metaphoric right?

Okay, I'll bite.
Why would someone not use email filters? Are they like so 2010 now? What is technocooler than email filters?

I have a spam button now.. I guess it is just a filter in some way.. but it is way easier to use..

I don't trust it. They were emailing me using my own website's (Flaming Freedom) contact page. I don't want Google to mark ALL mail from my own website as spam.

Exactly. I want to control what I see and what I don't see. I don't need Microsoft Bob to not show me emails "LIKE this one" (or Google's less-annoying equivalent). I know what I want: I want to never see another email from specific blacklisted individuals or domains ever again. I don't need a "Just Do What You Think I Mean" button. I know what I mean.

You sound like a Diaspora kinda guy. :)

FWIW, Temper, I do use my spam button when it's appropriate, i.e. on spambots. It's pretty safe to use it in that fashion. This was sent by a real person and was directed specifically to me, albeit unwanted and inappropriately. It's not spam. It's more like trolling, or online stalking. A filter is the correct tool for that.

Yeah I've gotten several emails from someone I banned. The crazy yeller. They were already banned so I chucked 'em into the spam button dimension and put them on double secret probation with the Freemasons.

I also ordered a fleet of chemtrail planes for his neighborhood, and a few reptilians to keep an eye on his place.

If it keeps going on I'll contact "The Jews" and have him put down*.

The freemasons are on probation? Awe, you're not so hardass of a moderator after all.
