JOIN NOW PLEASE!!!

I do apologise; the site is currently under "review" lmao.
It will be ready soon.

Hold on. You're ATHIEST, right?

I urge you to join for the following reasons:
- moderator (me) will try to keep trolling on the forum to a minimum

Wut?

I'll join this site, when I start believing in fairy tales.
Seriously why join that one when we have these and the unofficial forums.

@above: it's THE_REAL_ATHEIST, also one of the trolls that got banned.
tl;dr - It's a troll site.

@Influx
Sorry for the ambiguity; I'm THE_REAL_ATHEIST. And yes, I have trolled on THESE forums, but they were not my own. On my own forums (or at least on those on which I am a moderator) I consider it my duty to prevent trolling.

@Kaede-chan
Because these ones are very badly moderated (IMO). They are improving but there's still the usual trolls. And I also feel that the moderators are abusing their power sometimes. Amongst other things.

Please note, the site is down for now as it is undergoing review.

The moderators here never abuse their power. They're downright lenient here, actually. If it was me, I'd be banning you and all your other ridiculous accounts the moment you create a thread in here. You've obviously never seen true power-hungry moderators, who ban you if you disagree with them on aspects of the game, for example.

The moderators were 100% justified in closing all of your (and all the other trolls') threads. When you created a thread whining about how they are "abusing their power" and you downright insult the mods, you're just asking for a ban.

Why come to these forums if all you want to do is cause trouble? Why? There is /b/ for that type of juvenile bullshit. Go practice your terrible trolling skills there. Stop with the ban evasion. Accept your ban. Come back when you grow up.

@Kaede-chan
I understand that the moderators are lenient. I understand that they were justified in closing my threads. I'm not whining about them abusing their power, but merely stating it as a fact: sometimes they do, and I can help the community by offering them this opportunity.

I'm not trying to evade my ban lol.

Sorry for the ambiguity; I'm THE_REAL_ATHEIST. And yes, I have trolled on THESE forums, but they were not my own. On my own forums (or at least on those on which I am a moderator) I consider it my duty to prevent trolling.

Ah, I see. I didn't really pay attention to the result of the trolling, and with alt accounts popping up left, right and centre, I don't know who is using what account these days.

Also, I don't mean to offend, but you have a very hypocritical stance on this. According to your statement, it's okay for you to come into someone else's forum and be an arse, but if someone wants to do it in your forum, it's not okay and they shall be reprimanded for their actions.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

You're evading your ban right now by creating another account to come back to this forum.

I don't know if anyone's ever explained ban evasion to you, but that's what it is. The moderators don't care about your apology or request. You earned your ban, so the grown-up thing to do would be to accept it, and move on.

Come back in a few weeks, and the ban might be lifted. You'll still have a terrible reputation on here when you get back, but maybe you could start being a better person and people might forget how bad you were.

Once you stop being 16 years old, maybe more of this I'm trying to explain to you will become clear. The only permanent result of trolling is that your own reputation is affected. Nobody will believe a word you say, nobody will take you seriously, because they know you are a troll. Trust me on that. I've been there. Sure, the trolling is fun at first, but then you realize that it's completely pointless, and the person on the other end of the internet just thinks of you as a retard.

So get it through your thick skull. Stop. Go away. Nobody likes you.

@Influx
It's perfectly fine if people troll on my forums. That's expected. It's not perfectly fine if I don't take action against it, because it doesn't give a good message out to the trolls. Personally I feel that there aren't enough people here who care about this forum.

@Kaede-chan
Please stop trolling me.

ITS BECAUSE HE DIDNT HAVE FAITH IN GOD

I'm "trolling" because I care about this forum and the shitposting you do that ruins it. Alrighty then, I've heard it all today. I guess I lose that fight, lol.

We already have one, there isn't any trolling either.

Bump - it's working now.

All join: http://ace-spades.netau.net

My face when every post is by "Anon" and was posted 2012 years ago.

Noire: we already have one, there isn't any trolling either.

LOL. I will fix the date issue in due time (or at least an approximate date per post/topic). Also, it's a long winded process to make users for everyone and then, when they want to log in, somehow tell them their password without giving it away to everyone else. It's better if they just register, and then I can make some sort of script to convert the Anons to their name (maybe).

So...what's the difference besides every post just seems to be explicitly scraped from this forum? I understand some people wanted an alternative forum with different forum software, that's understandable. But I don't see what this is doing, it's the same bbpress forum (quite literally).

Lexsym, Stack:

- moderator (me) will try to keep trolling on the forum to a minimum
- organisation of topics and forums and stuff will be done if requested
- i will take into account the views of other users to improve the forum

To that I forgot to append "QUICKLY".

Sorry, but I don't see how that answers my question. Obviously you're free to create your own forums, but I'm just trying to figure out why you would create a mirror of an existing forum, using the same forum software, while on a free web host.

I think that I'm going to join it.

@akindrequest2:
We should improve these forums rather than creating exact clones in order to get a different admin setup in order to deter useless posting..
Just need to make sure the admins here are perfectly in tune with each other and stick firmly to some global rules (amongst other stuff).

@StackOverflow:
I don't understand that either really..

@TRA, I like your thinking, instead of Ben appointing people who he thinks adds more to the community than takes away for mods and admins. He should appoint the bottom feeders who have zero plans of contributing useful information.

Seriously, that makes sense. I can imagine the following thought process if TRA is a mod.

TRA: "Wow, that is exactly the same trash I would of wrote.. (sigh) If I weren't a Mod"
TRA: "I guess I better delete it, But if this guy keeps it up there is a promotion in his future"

@Stack:

I'm just trying to figure out why you would create a mirror of an existing forum, using the same forum software, while on a free web host.

Is this not the same as asking why mat^2 created pyspades?

@danhezee:
We all saw what happened when you and lexsym were "appointed" as mods - clearly not very much in terms of banning the shitposters.

And as for my "thought process", it would be more:
TRA: "Wow, that is EXACTLY the same trash I would have written if I was testing to see if this forum gave a fuck about itself"
TRA: "Well, this little prick ain't gonna ruin my community, that's for sure. Banned permanently: account, e-mail and IP."

@akindrequest2
Pyspades was created as an alternative of the original server that he reverse engineered himself, built on different technology while adding features that the original lacked. Meanwhile, the forum you created is literally a mirror of this existing forum, using the same software, and brings nothing new to the community. (neither one for that matter) The fact that you had to scrape all the content off of this forum proves that you don't have any tangible content to contribute yourself, nor do you expect anybody else to contribute any. Not to mention the fact that you can tell that it was quite obviously copied takes away from the forum's credibility (if it had any) If you truly wanted to create your own community, you would do so in a more professional fashion.

Normally, I would just play you off as a normal troll. But the fact that you are this persistent to go to these extremes to get some kind of statement across kind of kind of blows my mind. That's not a compliment in any way, trust me.

@TRA:

Guess what, within hours after having the ability to ban you were banned. Most likely it was minutes after, but I was at work so I don’t know how fast Lex got to ban you. I am actually jealous that Lex got to do it, I really wish it would have been me.

I like how all your shitposting was an elaborate never ending troll test; there are no logical fallacies with that at all. Oh wait that last part was sarcastic, that is the dumbest thing you possible could have said, the community doesn’t need someone to provoke everyone in it to the point that he/she is ostracized. That is quite a sacrifice for this community, you know, testing it to the point where everyone hates you and wants you gone. Again, thank you for your contributions to this community. I don’t know where we would be without your constant and justifiable troll tests.

Your IP was banned you were permanently banned but you cried to Ben and he lifted it. It probably won’t be too much longer until you are permanently banned again.

@danhezee, it may have been me. A few (I think 3) days ago there was a influx in spam account and it became obnoxious and it didn't appear that any other admins were on. It wasn't even obnoxious in the sense that it was too much or anything, but rather in the sort of petty sense. Apparently they claimed they were using a bot, which I'm not sure if they were or not, but it got to the point where I ended up creating my own just to automatically prune any spam coming from the account(s).

;o 209 users already! thanks guys!

bump
