ATTENTION SANCUARY MEMBERS!

If Arnox wasn't 100% incompetent he would have fixed this shit a month ago.

If you're as good as you claim to be, you'd tell him the solution, soak up the associated glory from staff and membership, then work your way around your own solution. Come on, now...

I don't understand why they would be butt hurt. Everyone here had the opportunity to migrate to whatever forum they wanted they so chose, or to fade from the scene entirely.. lol.. I'm generally online for about 6-8 hours every night given my current sleep schedule, and between working on my own personal website side project.. I was really scrambling to try and warn people about those links because no mods or Admins were on and I didn't know of any efficient way to contact one. Glad to see it was taken care of in a timely fashion. Bit ridiculous really, but I may know how to at least slow that shit from happening again.. Again, glad to see it's been taken care of.

 Again, why so butthurt? If your unsatisfied with how things are here, well.. get the fuck over it or please, feel free to leave. I've never understood why people get so overwhelmed or feel as though they are entitled to telling someone else how to run a website or board that they have no physical or financial stake in.. Most people would have the intelligence to gtfo or perhaps, go create a niche community as they see fit. Oh wait, that would mean doing something besides complaining.. and that's so much easier.. and people with real backbone and moxy are far to rare anymore..

[Pestilence]

Try harder, faggots.

You're an engineer iirc, amirite?

As a general comment I would say when you inherit a userbase and decorate the place in such a fashion as to indicate it's their original 'home', for the sake of relative harmony it to some extent must become a two-way street. Zok never accepted this and it eventually cost him his health and his site.

 We all "use" the internet.. We are not entitled to any particular forum, board, or website short of anything that isn't a personal manifestation. Call it a difference in philosophy. I'll even admit to my sentimental nature of &Z and &T, which.. to an extent brought me here. At the same time, I'm not complaining, and there are just as many members who aren't as the few that are.. So why is it that we must all suffer at the hand of the eternally un-appeased?  Not unlike you, who have come here to IS and.. repetitively reminded us of how "Zok" failed.. blah blah blah... Almost as if you feel obligated to forewarn of impending doom. If you truly feel such a way, why continue staying aboard your prophesied sinking ship? As with most people who constantly complain despite making any real effort to show progress through example.. it unfortunately becomes apparent that such behavior is more a plea for attention than anything.

 Until the day comes that IS shuts down, your commentary is wrong.

 The day that it does, what will your constant rhetoric have been worth.. that one last "I told you so". Sounds like a more than sufficient use of time <sarcasm>.

 You remind me of one of those new guys in the work place, constantly complaining about the working conditions while everyone is busy getting their shit done.

Funny, you ask a person a question....they give you a sincere and accurate answer based on their own perceptions, and then get pissy because you don't like the answer. All the while trying to minimize it as..."all you do is complain".

No Rook, you are dead wrong.....Slave and everyone else making these hardhitting and historically factual points are doing a lot more than complaining, they are "posting normally" just like everyone else. This is just your own feeble attempt to invalidate legitimate gripes, and try to label people as "nothing more than shit-stirrers"....when nothing more could be further from the truth.

Open your fuckin eyes and you'll see Slave is STILL one of the best contributors around here, or maybe you just have your head so far up Arnox and Zek's asses, you can't see the light of day.

Wow. Looks like someone's suffered a major prolapse.

I wasn't criticizing anyone, as I pointed out, just making a statement based on verifiable observation.

[BallsDeep69]

I don't understand why they would be butt hurt.

There is no 'they'. HC45/banter is just a fucking idiot.

Too true
Clear as mud.

[Arnox]

Slave and everyone else...

You know what, DG, you sound more and more like a sock puppet every day.

[DaGuru]

You know what, DG, you sound more and more like a sock puppet every day.

Why, because I call them like I see them, and am not thin skinned when someone is shredding another poster to pieces when its deserved? Sorry Arnox, but a lot of us on here aren't so butthurt and intimidated by "uncivil" discourse....because we realize conflict IS very much a part of life. Perhaps you created this place for some sterile bubble to shelter yourself from the harshness of the realities of the world, I dunno. Hmmmmm, maybe that IS why you chose the name "Sanctuary".....you are looking for a safe haven from all the big bad meanies out there?

Truth is, in all the years I've been surfing the internet....the thousands and thousands of posters I've come across over various BBS's, blogs, and comment sections....Slave IS one of the finest, funniest and most entertaining people I've ever seen find a keyboard. Definitely in my top 10, possibly top 5. If you could get past the fact he uses verbiage you don't approve of, you'd see that too. I've been watching this guy post for close to 8 or so years now, and while I don't always agree with his perceptions or even his politics....he still IS a capable and entertaining communicator. Period.

I just don't think you live your life like I do, and so many others on here. Tell me Arnox, when was the last time you had hostile conflict with another human being...even if just exchanging words in the middle of traffic? Perhaps you live your life meek and mild and avoid it at any cost, but these kinds of things don't scare me...in fact I thrive on it. I myself probably called at least 2 different people a cunt just this week, and even got into a shouting match with some dolt outside of a store the other day. The little fuckard was getting up in this woman's face, all because he mistakenly thought he had the "right" to step  out in front of her car...all under the guise of "but I was in a crosswalk, you HAVE to stop for me".

Seeing this guy bully the woman when he was so much in the wrong, I wouldn't just walk by and let him be an abusive idiot. I know a lot of people would just awkwardly walk away with their head down, or watch from afar and enjoy the show...but that isn't in my nature. I'm as REAL as they fucking come, and I don't back down from conflict, chaos, harsh words, or blithering idiots. Too bad that concept is so foreign to you, but not everyone needs to create some Disney Land fairy tale in order to feel safe, sound and comfortable in their little "sanctuary".

I can't be the only one who chuckles every time a single sentence elicits a half page response from DaGuru, can I?

[komokazi]

Zok didn't fail, he just got tired of dealing with you faggots. Hosting a community like that will inevitably draw some unsavory people who do unsavory things and not only that, but you niggers can cause some legality issues.

Nope, same here. *giggles*

 Probably the most fundamentally honest and factual thing in this thread. Personally couldn't do it.. If I were to ever attempt to make a board or forum such as this, there wouldn't be as much leniency.. successful forums aren't run by the peons. Sure, a lot of people here wouldnt cut it.. and I'd be fine with that. I also would cut off open registration after a while to prevent alt accounts and general havoc.. hosting private boards would add to intrigue and probably spur more quality content. I'd probably open registration back up from time to time or allow for invites from established members..

 But this shit.. I personally wouldn't deal with. Take your whinny self righteous asses and you'd have to go somewhere else with it. It's like you have the mentality that you feel entitled to being made mods or defining how this board is run.. when you don't. Please tell me you walk into a grocery store and tell them how much your going to pay for their shit.. You don't.. And that shit doesn't fly.. not in real life.. not here. I keep reading these post with this casual smile, wondering to myself... just how fucking stupid are you? I mean, you have a sufficient grasp over some relatively large words so.. I'm inclined to at least assume your educated enough to formulate intelligent conclusions.. but what about self reflection.. and the capability to admit when one may be wrong, or at least.. not entirely right. Like children holding their breathe till their blue in the face because they didn't get their way.. so pathetic, just so pathetic.
