1. Get Hollywood the fukk back in here and make him admin again.
He wasn't banned...so he can come back whenever he wants. But he asked to have his account deleted, so we did that for him.
2. reinstate SMP. yeah, I don't know the guy personall and not sure how much he was trolling, but he obviously drew a crowd. he is integral. Get that douchnozzle back in here.
No. Sorry. Been there, done that. Nothing personal against the guy, but that's not the kind of forum I want to run.
3. REOPEN the Politics forum. Let is be a free for all. if somebody complains about getting their vag kicked in there, tell them, "Don't go in there, dipshit!"
That place was a mess. If I didn't lock that forum, a handful of people would have been banned. And, right now, I'm not interested in having a "free for all" forum. Not right now anyway.
4. MORE FREE SHIT. do some giveaways that will entice more people to come in here and stay invested in the board.
We'll be doing a playoff contest when the time comes...and there will be prizes.
We may do another contest before then too.
I have a lot of work to do in the LGB Store and with the site redesign that is waaay behind schedule. There will be improvements & updates to the site, hopefully soon. I apologize for the delays.
5. the dictator-esque moves must come to an end. if somebody is to be banned, just ban the motherfreaker. You don't have to make a fukken spectacle out of it like the admins are LORDS of the INTARDWEBS and everything. The fukken hubris, man. George Bush looks like an insecure 7th grader next to the bullshit patriarchal grandstanding that has gone on here in the past. Mods/admins should not get in pissing matches with posters, nor should they pronounce their fiats to the entire board about people getting punished etc. that is bush league. yeah yeah, i'll probably get banned for saying this but I don't fukken care.
The people that make a spectacle out of bannings, are a few other members, and not so much the admins and/or staff.
A few people make a huge deal out of these types of decisions. Hell, some people are still making a big deal out of decisions made years ago.
If more people would respect the decisions made here, it wouldn't be as big of a deal as people are making it out to be.
Believe it or not, every decision here is made in the forum's best interest, not in the best interest of a few people.
The forum is different than it was a few years ago...and it has changed for the better.
And when the team is winning, traffic increases. It's always been that way.
I respect your opinions Goon. Thanks for the input.
