Without belaboring the issue, I want to point out the desperation being displayed by the deckofficer/Tahoe. Apparently, he has decided he's not taking over the world quite as quickly as he had hoped, so he is now sending agent provocateurs to this site in yet another attempt to distort the truth and promote his own site.
Let's look at the truth, OK?
In THIS POST, the individual identifying himself as Ron/effectsman made some false comments and like it or not, we're going to set the record straight.
1. This individual claims to have read back through all of the old posts on the site and has discovered three people who have been banned in the last 12 months - leg show t, der Spieler and deckofficer.
FACT - Leg show t was banned from this site. I approached him and explained he was stepping outside the line and that if he was not able to remain within the rules and guidelines of this forum, he was going to lose his ability to participate on this site. In spite of the warning, he persisted with his inappropriate behavior and was banned.
FACT - In spite of this effectman's "careful" research of this forum and its content, his observation that der Spieler has been banned from this site is another falsehood. Anyone needing to verify that fact can see der Spieler's profile HERE. You can verify his usergroup by viewing der Spieler's most recent post, HERE. Members who have managed to get themselves banned from the site get their own badge of honor, as you can see in THIS POST, made by deckofficer, or in THIS POST, also made by deckofficer whilst hiding under a nom de plume.
FACT - Deckofficer was banned from this site. The forum rules clearly state, "Multiple user accounts on this site are prohibited and anyone registering with more than one account runs the risk of having all accounts deleted." I know deckofficer wanted people to think he had been banned, when he decided to slip in here under the Tahoe username, but that was a lie. I'll not expose his identity to anyone, but the first initial and surname in the e-mail addresses used to register the deckofficer and Tahoe user accounts are identical. In addition, the IP addresses used by both accounts were identical. That was evidence enough for me to ban both accounts. (Proof once again, if you give someone enough rope, they will quite happily hang themselves.)
FACT - Effectsman claims to have " figured out that of the 2500 members only about 50 are active." Sound familiar? Tahoe/deckofficer made a similar comment in THIS POST, claiming there are only "about 75 truly active members". Let's look at the total visitor count, not just members or active members. In 2009, we averaged 13,041 daily visitors to this site. In 2010, our numbers were down somewhat, with a daily average of only 12,819 daily visitors. As of midnight EST last night, our daily average for 2011 was at 14,577. Effectsman and deckofficer/Tahoe were merely trying to obfuscate the facts.
To effectsman and deckofficer/Tahoe, about all I can do is quote the Gentle Teacher - "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Luke 16:10, N.I.V.
