    What the hell has happened here? Some of the absolute best posters are getting banned, or are just leaving. cpaw is gone, GMJ is banned, pegs was banned, KC is banned, #1warpoetforlife is banned. I'm sure there are others that I am just forgetting. It is absolutely ridiculous that people as knowledgeable as them, especially a level-headed guy like GMJ, could receive a punishment like that. He was a fantastic mod while I was working on the site here, and the thought that one slip (even though there probably wasn't even a slip), and he's out? Are you kidding me? Posters shouldn't have to feel like they have to restrict their thoughts to what the head people want. This is a place where people are supposed to express their opinions, so when they have an opinion on the direction of this site, if you aren't a staff member, you get penalized for it? C'mon. Honestly. When level headed people like warpoet and GMJ get banned, and a very smart guy like cpaw leaves, you know something is very, very wrong.

    So, I ask again. What the hell has happened here?

    yeah, this is starting to suck, big time. Those are guys I had really good conversations on here with too....it's a shame. That's one of the reasons I stopped coming here as often...that and a lotta newbies to the site that just come on with the sole purpose to just tick people off. I'm just gonna stick to posting and reading in the Minnesota thread...stick with people who want to debate the issue at hand not just go off on insult filled rants...lol.

    BTW...what up Tim...it's been a minute, playa! :cheers:

    props to you as well, DaRizz...:cheers:

    I want an admin's response to this though, this is too ridiculous to be ignored.

    Now that all those guys are gone it seems like a lot of crappy and obnoxious posters are starting to come out. There has been a lot more fighting lately IMO.

    I was wondering what happened to Cpaw, I noticed he has stopped posting as much lately and now he isn't an admin anymore. I assume he was just busy with the fam and chose to resign or something.

    Agreed...there have been far too man obnoxious posters who seem to have nothing on thier mind except starting fights on here. I had my run in with one not to long ago, that made me almost want to delete my account....whoever it was just sucked all the fun out of being on this site.

    The admin's response is:

    You're a global moderator at a competing site. Stirring up shit here is uncool.

    I agree. And I think it was in poor taste to delate #2_War_Poet's post.

    I'm hurt man, very hurt :(
    Denny, you know me well enough to know that I am not trying to stir up shit. I still post at this place and just think that some of these bannings make little to no sense. And something messed up is happening, something that made a great admin like cpaw leave. All I want is to know what the deal is.

    I don't want to sound like a dick to you tim, because you and I have always been straight, but is this really of great concern to you? You aren't that active at S2, so does it really matter if a couple of members are gone for whatever reason? Things happened, members had to be dealt with. If Denny decides that he wants to make it public, he will.

    just messing with you man, although I'm not a big fan of bbw, or some of the things bbf has done.

    I do agree about cpaw, in my opinion he was probably the best poster s2 had.

    I know you well enough that you lied to the whole staff about school taking all your time so you were stepping down here, and then you immediately took a staff position elsewhere.

    And you are stirring up shit for no good reason, as if you have something to gain.

    Maybe if you focus your attention on the site where you chose to be staff, they might benefit.

    Absolutely it matters. Just because I haven't posted as much doesn't mean that I don't visit here frequently. And I do post, more in the Wolves and random NBA areas btw, as well as the fact that I'm in the Under the Microscope (you didn't ask me any questions joker :(). Whether it's a guy who posts a ton or posts a little, if a member has a concern, shouldn't they be at liberty to voice that concern?

    Of course, but in this case, it's a private matter. Maybe it should be left alone.
