It's happend

[Smokin Gator]

Tom,

I am really sorry that all of your contributions, as well as many others, have been swept under the rug. I am also sorry that this comes from someone who lives in the state of Florida. But I have to say... I have met many like him... and it doesn't surprise me in the least that (edited for slanderous content) less than manly person would stoop so low.

Again, sorry brother,

Brent

It is never a good thing to get rid of your primary demographic who are the ones who built the site and mostly did it for free. The content will slowly become stale and the unique hits will drop and so will revenue.

Is membership the real number or is it site hits? If I was an advertiser I would wanna know what kind of daily "hits" / "views" his site gets. If that's the case anyone who goes to check the drama just helps his cause.

A lot of us are still helping his cause. I'm guilty of it. It makes me feel ashamed as of today to be contributing anything toward his financial gain. I hadn't given up on the site until after what Tom and Dave said today.

I concur, but there is still hope for some of the drowning gorillas over there. With all the censorship and selective posting it will be hard to get them aboard the life raft, but if we can save one, it is well worth it.

"Closing this up. Drama threads/bashing threads dont belong here. Take it to another board." Jon Caputo

And don't even think about telling the truth about what happened over there.

Jon C will just edit your post and close the thread so that all of the advertisers and new members not in the know won't have a clue as to what he is doing to that place. The guy is a Class A Jackass, and why anyone would even want to continue on with that board (especially as a mod) is completely beyond me.

They'll (mods) be here full-time soon (I hope). I hate to hear about what they're going through as of late. But I deeply respect that they are following through with their commitments.

That is exactly why I kept bugging them to ban me and delete my account. I don't want my username to put 1 penny in his pocket.

I got to admit, I was hoping that the place would stay the "same". But after that Asylum business, with censoring etc. Well, after the thread got deleted, that was too much in my opinion.

So did I, Oh well hope everyone can make it over here, there isn't much going on over there.

Hey get out of my chair, never mind.

If he's really using the number of members as a selling point for advertisers, knowing full well that some of the accounts are deliberately inaccessible, then he may be committing fraud.

Legally or just because he is a tool? Because if it is a legal issue I would love to see him get sued for deceiving the masses.

Al's thread asking about the bans and the scrambling of member passwords has promptly been closed. Don't even think about going against the company line.

Yep, that's the solution to everything over there now, just close the thread. I swear, in the little time i've spent browsing puff.suck i've seen more threads closed in a week than I ever saw in the years the old mod crew ran the show. Remember when we could talk about things and discuss gripes openly? Try that now and your thread will be closed faster than you can say boo

You have been banned for the following reason:
Drama starter - http://www.puff.com/forums/vb/genera...ml#post2135508

Date the ban will be lifted: 02-02-2009, 09:00 PM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will request it never be lifted.

If you can't tell the truth it's not my kind of place.

I don't really have a dog in this fight, since I only joined the other place just in time for the change. But I have to say in all the time I've spent on forums, I have never seen someone so thoroughly piss off his faithful membership and run things into the ground. I hope he's got a good excuse for his investors when everyone gets tired of watching the train-wreck, and they want to know why traffic is so low.

Without getting too technical, it depends on how your firewall is set up at work. Usually when you look for multiple accounts, you're looking for multiple accounts from a home DSL or cable IP hostname, though.

I cannot believe what is going on over there. Thebest thing that can be done is boycott viewing that site..... Even if everyone wants too see the trainwreck

I cant stand to watch it any more

[av8tor152d]

I asked Jon to delete my account, I refuse to give the site a number in membership. Now it's real easy to not get caught up in the drama there. Thanks to all who make this a place to enjoy.

[King James]

Well put, Dave. I do not see CA as the one who will be hurting in the end
