    Please, like, subscribe, follow, chat... all that stuff.  There are good people here. Would be a shame if I couldn't share my work with them and get their input. 

  • I feel like this comes up annually, bills for the site come due and Steve wants to unload the burden and l get it, but there must be a solution. 

    Is that what’s happening here?

  • I'm willing to:

    - Take full ownership 

    - Pay for domain renewals

    - Workout migrating to Discourse (another open source forum)

    - Host it for free on one of my kubernetes clusters

    This would get out of the invision license, albeit would take some down time and it would be an entirely different system - but from my research they have IPP migration scripts that work with minimal changes.

    I might need a tutorial if this happens lol. Something about teaching an old dog new tricks.

    Whatever it takes to keep Browns talk going, that isn't on FB is fine by me.

  • Well it happens every year when the financial statement comes due, it ain't about the money but in the past couple of weeks I've gotten multiple complaints from members, decent guys good solid members, complaining that multiple posts have been deleted. One guy says he gets suspended and doesn't really know why. I haven't deleted anybody's posts that I haven't suspended anybody. I don't I don't think Larry even comes over here anymore so I wonder if it's Woody? I don't see why you would bother with it Tia. Anybody have a guess?

    the whoreta still pops in, and I wouldn't put it past him at all. That is my best guess.

    Woody is hopelessly thriving on negative attention, so I don't think that is the good guess.

    Tiam is too unimaginative and boring to think of it, although he probably nearly has a seizure any time anyone disagrees with him on any freaking point.

    Maybe it's a corruption in a database, or the background code - but I haven't done much web site stuff at all.

    If it isn't the whoreta, it could be steflunkski hiring a hacker...but that's a big reach as a guess.

    Not sure why I'm being mentioned here?   95% of the time I forget I'm even a mod.  

    I'd say it's pretty simple, airing of grievances.     Post who(m) these member(s) are, what they're complaining about, what (if anything) is being deleted and let it be known.  

    I'll be real when I say it's likely a bunch of bullshit.     

    Last thing I deleted was a couple months ago and it was incredibly, I guess I'll say "politically" driven on the football board. Actually it was a mis-post and meant to go to the poli board by this member in, what I assume, was a trolling effort towards another poster there.    I was kind enough to PM said member, tell them I removed their stuff from the football side because it was in the wrong area (even had it in the title), and informed them to re-post it where it was intended.       Since then though?  I've all but given up, haven't touched a damn thing.   

    Before that? I think I deleted some nonsense posts in my yearly analysis thread, and asked the two members who were clogging it up with spam to take it elsewhere.  But that was over a year ago.  Didn't hear a complaint then.  

    Are we asking about the football side or the poli board?    The latter I haven't visited or posted in years.  

  • Honestly? I don't know I don't pay that much attention. The two members do frequent the poly board so I would guess that might be it? The guy that got the boots and the reason was and I quote for being a douchebag and that sounds like zomba. By the way Cal wasn't one of them. Usually if somebody is offended or heart sick over something I see the report and I've got the ability to delete the points or delete the post or whatever. I'll mostly delete spam but as far as some a****** saying the Browns suck and somebody getting outraged I don't care.

    As I mentioned the only three vengeful guys are zombo Larry and Woody. And I'm not even really accusing them.

    But honestly I don't have any idea why anybody would give a f*** what goes on to the poly board anyway.

    I don’t know if this had anything to do with it, but a few weeks ago the mega conspiracy theory thread dropped off the 1st page of the poliboard and there were a few posts from concerned people fretting about it. I searched for it, found it, posted to bump it up, and all was well.

    I figured it was a glitch or user(s) error. It was weird, but also amusing seeing the conspiracy theories over the missing conspiracy theory thread.

    Now that is entirely possible lol.

    Bro I haven't done anything. I'm not banning or striking anyone. No matter how much the elderly care home in the poli board can't stand me (is are obsessed with me...) I'm not banning them. I've said this countless times. And I'm going to guess you can easily confirm this.

    Vengeful? In what way?

    And you pretty much are making accusations
