you dont understand!
this has nothing to do with the forum!
every forum has someone that makes a stupid thread,
that was one of them, and it was delt with weeks ago!
thats no reason to close a whole forum!

i just don't get it
don't you guys realise that whining really isn't good to get your board back

it will just annoy the admins
reducing the chance of it ever getting opened again

the best thing was sending a polite pm
explaining everything etc


so you can either start over
or keep whining and give up eventually cause you got tired of whining or your ip got banned for being annoying on the boards

conclusion
what you can do
-whine/annoy
-behave like adults and understand why the admins can't reöpen it
they just can't open boards that have been closed for porn cause then the tos is pretty useless
-start a new board and make sure you don't make the same mistake again

Just to remind everyone who is saying "Just Restart". Its not that easy, even if you backed up all your files and have e-mails of all your members it's still not going to be as simple as "just restart". Having a forum shutdown suddenly even catches the Admins off guard so they may not be able to tell the members the situation before they decide it's a lost cause and leave.

Graphics and Skins also can't always be backed up. I usually keep up with all the codes and mods I make to the forum but I was going to re-code it when this whole thing started so I lost everything.

Topics and Categories are another problem. Somethings you can't really make a cat. for it (or even a forum for it) untill you have enough topics to back up that section. What if you had a section for something and because of the closing the few members you have left decide not to post on that subject again? also I still find it hard to believe that all the forums were not given a reason for the close. I understand that there are a lot of people who where shut down therefore there may not have been time. I also understand that it is in the TOS that nobody has to say anything. But I also understand that the admins are getting tons of PMs of people asking what happened. If the staff would just keep us informed then non of that would have happened in the first place.

I have a question about what people are saying about it shouldn't have happened in the first place to Boogybro. So let's say we have a member who is an ass (We did have one named Assclown) and doesn't follow rules and all and we warn him which we did and suspened him and he comes back and does it again and then the admins see the posts before we have the chance to ban him. Would we get closed because of that because it is just about the same thing and you can't control your members, we warned him, we closed the thread and deleted it, we did what admins should do, since he stopped we shouldn't have banned him so what do you suggest we would have done to not get our forum closed?

We can't conrol our members but the staff that are present do their best job modding. Isn't that what mods are for (including Super mods and Admins)? Just because someone made an infraction doesn't mean that a board can be closed. Our forum was fine right before it was shut down because the staff did their job. Many, if not all, of our staff members are experienced from being members of other forums. We'd know how to deal with people like Assclown and events like the spam raid.

I think we had assclown join here. :lol:
Sounds familiar anyway.

I think the issue was not your member spamming, but that it appeared to be a plot to spam.
I had no involvement in investigating it, so I don't know the details, but I would think some member of staff would have had to have posted in support of it or noticed it and let it go without deleting it.

But seriously, do you think that posting 27 times in this topic is going to help your cause at all?
You've posted your side of the story, and DuffMan will consider it and act accordingly.
No need to keep posting.

OK well Duffman please ignore this post but when are you going to decide? If you wait too long all of our members will have moved on to other things or if you would reopen it when you feel necessary and losing our members would be a punishment we would happily oblige.
