I do remember ethan coming & going every 5 minutes. I'm pretty sure the rest of us said something along the lines of you're either in or you're out, make your mind up.

Who was PTS? I'm brainfarting on the acronym.

Perfection Through Silence.

I don't know if you crossed paths, but he should still have the dancing avatar.

Can't recall 100%, but I have a vague memory of it.

It actually may have been, it was one of the more well known and respected mods is all I remember.

He was upset cause he was dealing with personal issues at the time, and felt it was unfair that you guys weren't respecting that in regards to his absence... or something. I dunno this was like 3 years ago :p:

The Batlord 12-15-2012 11:10 AM

Wait, so I keep hearing about this Boo Boo, and I've seen a few of his posts lying around, but I've never really seen this meltdown that I keep hearing about. I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know where I can find this? It sounds amusing.

He had a real weird tenure here. Still, I hope things are working out for him.

You can't see it.

He went on a long self pitying rant in the shoutbox and banned about 20 people.

Freebase accidently deleted the entire contents of the shoutbox about a year or so ago so i wouldn't bother looking.

Somebody shoulda screen capped that for MB historical value.

Who set him off in the shoutbox? I'm gonna guess either GB, bungalow, Unfan, or all of the above.

Urban Hat€monger ? 12-15-2012 11:20 AM

I don't need to put any spin on why it was deleted.
It was hidden amongst something around 200,000 pages of tat you would have had to sifted through anyway.

Nobody did
He'd just come in & start bitching about how he was worthless & hated his grandmother and how he couldn't talk to girls and all that stuff.

Sometimes he would go on for 40 pages plus.

"I double dog dare you."

True, but he didn't realise it would actually work.

Possibly the best thing he did was appear in the comic that GentlemanJohnny drew of him crying at his computer.

Sometimes I still trip over that and piss myself laughing.

Yeah, I had found a page that listed all the Vbulletin Moderator shoutbox codes, and someone had dared him to try out the "/prune" function. Six years of shoutbox history, gone like that!

Urban Hat€monger ? 12-15-2012 11:28 AM

The way I remember it was a few members were trying that prune command and it wouldn't work and so they called a mod to try it, Freebase did and the rest is history.

LoathsomePete 12-15-2012 11:29 AM

I'm pretty sure there was thread about feminism in the Current Events forum that started the whole thing. Boo Boo's gender politics were pretty fucking archaic and I think some of our female member at the time (Lateralus I know for sure) called him out on it. I was among the banned, but I never participated in that thread, I think he was just deleting people at random.

:laughing:

I really do hope boo boo's life has improved since then. A lot of his e-drama I think stemmed from his own issues and insecurities he had in real life.

Ah the infamous Beth Ditto thread :D

boo boo's thoughts in that thread actually started out somewhat logical, but as usual he got rustled by people disagreeing with him, and it all escalated from there.

I think it was a combination of that and other things.
I remember about 2 or 3 weeks before that several of us mods were getting concerned about the way he was acting and at least 4 or 5 of us asked him to stand down.
He refused begging for another chance, Yac wouldn't de-mod him unless it was his own choice so we were stuck with him.

Then he gets involved in that thread whilst being a prick in the shoutbox and that's when he had his meltdown. Yac had no choice but to de-mod him after than and he was given a months ban.

I think that's pretty much the full story now.

TheBig3 12-15-2012 11:38 AM

I thought he was still banned

He is.

Urban Hat€monger ? 12-15-2012 11:41 AM

No that came later, the mod stuff happened about 4 years ago.
He was permabanned around this time 2 years ago.

How's a mob get perma banned? I know Urban just said, but still, how do you get from, "Hey, you who would be a good mod? Boo Boo. He's just got a great head on his shoulders and is very fair minded." to, "Dude, this whack job's gotta go."

Urban Hat€monger ? 12-15-2012 11:43 AM

He was never supposed to be a full mod, that's why.

He was originally only made of the new prog sub-forum right (or classic rock subforum? I forget which)? And that was only to recognize his dedication to the site?

Mod cave is full of arguements and people wanting to give others another chance. Bill being the biggest violator.

Boo Boo was given half-mod status because he was posting good stuff in the prog forums or something like that. They decided to bump him up after a vacancy. He was promoted based on advancement of the forums.

His judgement was never that great.

TheBig3 12-15-2012 11:51 AM

Oh hey, where is that fruitloop Mod you guys had here for 3 weeks who told me my name was too ****ing long?

I loved that one. My time here probably eclipsed her time on earth and I'm the problem.

Yeah he was originally only made a forum moderator to look after the newly made prog forum because we needed someone to move all the old threads into it but the only power they have is to be able to delete posts or move them, they can't do bannings or infractions.

at the time we were getting a lot of spam and he was getting frustrated because if he deleted anything they'd just keep posting it again so he was reluctantly made a full mod on condition that he acted professionally & stopped getting in stupid arguments with people. He couldn't do this even after being given multiple chances which is why we asked him to step down.

She was romanian or something and had a name like djrnkst or something like that.

I cannot work out what the problem is as it doesn't seem to affect anyone else and can't be IP related.

Anyway, if I were elected Mod, with no connection issues, I think the first thing I would do is help to bring back some of the "Monthly..." and "[Insert Genre] Cub" suches and such. I feel they are important to a community that is fundamentally based around music discussion and I have missed participating in them and getting to know individual members on a more personal basis as a result of it.

Other than that I think I am quite a decent guy who would have little trouble adapting to a more authoritative role and seamlessly fit alongside our existing team of moderators.

Given Mr. Goofle's taste in music (as seen below) I cannot, in good conscience, endrose his candidacy for the office of Mod. Someone must demostate good judgement, sound reasoning, and a sense of humor to secure my backing. It is clear from his writings below that he would not fit the decription.

It was a reference to a naughty picture, I wouldn't know if the song is good as I haven't heard it. (the fact I can't remember how to do spoilers is more reason to waver any endorsement you may have had)

Dankrsta? That's an odd person for you to have a beef with. She's pretty low-key, very nice and was a good mod. She actually came back to the site recently.
