This will be my last post here.

[panthrax]

I have been apart of this community in one form or another since year 2000. I have seen an untold amount of members come and go as the years have passed by. I saw totse.com fall and Zoklet.net rise up. I've now seen Zoklet.net fall and seemingly The Sanctuary rise up. However, it's different this time.

I am not going to risk myself on a website that gets spammed with child porn on a constant basis and not to mention DDoS'ed on an even more frequent basis. I appreciate this staff's attempts to delete the spam as fast as it rears it's ugly head, but it's just not enough and there is nothing this staff or anyone else can do about the DDoS attacks. Sure, you can complain to the host. All that will do is take down their shitty website. The attacks will not stop. As soon as you open registration again, the child porn will resume.

I will not be apart of a community that is being targeted by debilitating DDoS attacks on a constant basis, making the website all but useable and waves of child porn where you're scared to click on any thread in fear you're going to be slapped in the face with that shit. Closing registrations isn't the answer, it's a bandaid that will temporarily fix the issue but it's not a long term solution.

I might give Mr. Orange's project a last, death throes try, but failing that, I am pretty sure I am done with this community altogether. When the community you've loved for so long becomes a liability or frustrating/irritating to try and use, it might be time to just call it quits.

Love you guys. It's been a wacky 14 years and perhaps it can continue on with Mr. Orange's project because this place...this certainly isn't it. Caio.

I really hope to see you at Mr. Orange's forum. We have to keep that one lowkey in case they are going to target that forum as well. Hopefully this won't be the end of you and us. But as for now, so long my white brother. I'll catch you in tinychat every now and then. Toodles!

[Arnox]

Actually, the DDoS attacks are done. I know that for sure. Contact Idio if you want the details. The only thing left is the CP spam which is already being taken care of, and no, I'm not just talking about the closed registration. But hey, if you wanna leave, that's fine. Seems a little silly though in my eyes.

As I said, good luck to you all on the new forum!

Same thing happened when &z went down,  a bunch of members made their own boards and divided up the community.

Then the smaller ones spammed and dDos'd the hell out of the others. That created even more division in an already crumbling community.
The last three months at Totse, the board was down half of the time because of the very same kind of crap that you've been experiencing the past few days, Jeffs TTFN didn't mention that. But the thing that killed that community was itself.
A strange and thoughtless beast that burns down it's own house, then wonders why it has no place to live.
I ended up at zoklet because zok was the admin on &t and his site looked like it would last the longest, like it might keep and grow the community.
Five years later..
All of the zoklet users have received an email from me with a link to here (under the advice of Unwyred, psychomanthis and Infrared amongst others).
I don't know you Arnox, but it looks like your hearts in the right place. If you can handle the bandwidth and the necessary security upgrades, then have at it. If your panel has the option for manual account approval, that would be an option that could help you retain momentum with the influx - it's a fast environment we're living in, a lot of people will just move along down the line if unable to at least register.
After what happened to Zok, I'm just plain disgusted with the community. He got shit on by the very people he was providing a home for.
I've had enough of the headaches and hassles of tending a board, it's your turn in the barrel Arnox, good luck with it.

I dont know- I think we should give this place a shot. They seem like they are trying at least and while the registration thing is a bandaid- I am sure they'll figure something out that will work long term. Ive enjoyed some of your posts over the years (even as a lurker waaay the fuck back in the days of totse) so Id hate to see you go. Give it a chance instead of this dramatic foggoty thread.

Holy fucking shit how RICH it is seeing this come off YOUR keyboard, of all the people to come on here. All this proves is how much of a power hungry bitch you are, and as soon as things don't go "your way" you head for the hills like a little pussy. For a couple of years you were an admin at Zoklet, and ignored any and all suggestions in how to make that place better...and here you are now looking down on other admins so full of yourself with your inflated ego as if you know how to run a website better.

Ya know what the biggest difference so far is between Zoklet and Sanctuary? Posts like yours above are at least ALLOWED here. Had someone else posted something similar at Zoklet, you and Mizled would have probably deleted the post, infracted the poster, if not perma-banned them forever for disagreeing with your ideas of how to manage(?) a message board.

You are such a sanctimonious little bastard, and its no surprise that people like you and Mizled that have been drunk with power for so many years can't handle yourselves in an arena where you are on equal ground with everyone else. You can't "control" your experience, and now you run away like a helpless little baby. Good riddance to very stinky and worthless garbage.

Run along Panthrax, go hide in your TinyChats where you can have all the power(giggles) and control over everyone else, and play lord and master over everyone's else text. All you've done with your stay here at Sanctuary with this whiney bullshit is expose your true heart and agenda you've had for all these years. You are just a  spindly little ex-con that won't ever amount to anything in  REAL LIFE, so you use the internet to escape your own loserdom and bully other people's internet experience to this nice sterile environment that makes YOU and ONLY YOU comfortable. Grow up you little twerp....

Please...let this bullshit die with Zoklet Guru. For fucks sake man.

Sorry, but when one of the most toxic and do-nothing admins to ever grace Totse/Zoklet comes in here with such indignation and arrogance with such a condescending tone to people who are AT LEAST TRYING TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY.....I'm gonna smother the fuckin worm with his own hypocrisy.

I don't think you understand that Panthrax doesn't care at all what you have to say. To make someone feel bad by saying some shit about them, you first have to have that persons respect, on some level.

[ph0x]

Panthrax left because Arnox wouldn't give him mod/admin and he couldn't take not being able to levy bans at anyone without their tongue buried in his ass.

I don't give a fuck if he respects me or even reads the post. But I will respond to his meaningless tripe and self-serving bullshit, and continue to call a spade a spade. Just do the math. He was an admin, for what? Almost 2 years? And in all that time he completely ignored member's suggestions, going so far to perma-ban members that dared disagree with him. Now he is here all of 2 or 3 days, and because he can't "have it his way"....he runs off like a little bitch. Its comical is what it is, and proves his character as well as maturity.

Um you never did anything on zoklet except make one liner posts every once in a while and appoint shitty abusive mods (most of the time.) If you were active behind the scenes it really didn't show on the front end as the site had been the same stinking shithole it had been for years with literally NO change or improvements whatsoever. I don't know what kind of headaches and hassles you are talking about but surely you have never had to deal with anything of this magnitude.
