I was banned yesterday because my firefox adblock blocked a porn banner ad in a link I posted. It's easy to forget that people still use IE. So...I guess I'm a victim of the porno crackdown there, too.

You musta missed a few people. I'm still liked and loved by many. If you mean your click or whatever, that may be true. But like I said, I really don't care what someone on the internet thinks about me. My life isn't crushed that some guy in his 30's, 40's or 50's (or whatever your "everyone's" average age is) doesn't like my opinions. At least I keep the pedos and creeps away I guess.

I'm also sure that PBN is also a big conspiracy and Conqueror is Ed's henchman. Personally, I would probably delete your posts too because some of the things that you post do violate their rules.

I think I missed how people are being harassed.

russc- lol. I guess some people have grown fond of ****** ol' IE. Sadly a lot of people do still use it in general (not just nation.) Firefox is the best, by far.

heineous - become a supporting member and see what the big deal is about (..that kinda sounded like ASM and the girl thread for a second )

Alot of the users who used to frequent the Nation seemed to show a desire to want to help others and made it a decent place to exchange ideas and information about the paintball sport. Now it seems to be overrun by obnoxious kids who are pretty much rude to anyone and everyone who has a decent question to ask, or who tries to make helpful posts about specific topics and certain paintball specialties.

I wonder how far down the list of overall online forum sizes the Nation would fall, if they shut down small talk and all the other sub forums that have practically nothing to do with paintball? I am curious how many page views and how much "traffic count" those NON paintball parts of the forum actually generate. I bet you it would make a serious difference. Especially since alot of the more mature and more helpful paintball users seem to have become disgruntled with the site and seem to be spending time elsewhere.

He is, a henchman, he is a mod. Maybe a minion, but we'll use your description. He joined this site specifically to spin what is being reported and to toss dirt on Harbinger and TB. Looks like harassmment to me. Especially when he and other henchmen are monitioring the posts of pbn users and reporting back to Ed and co. to justify the b.o.s.

I am usually very careful to not violate t.o.s., so if you have examples then by all means post em up. Smak talk in game thread isn't flaming, so it does not violate T.o.s., game threads are allowed, as are sponsorship annoucements. Heck we even purchase news up for news threads if they are req'd. I had multiple post diappear that were direct responses to who was banned and why. On topic and relevant. Other MCB members had this happen to them as well. I have the topic notifications and what was posted in them to show that they were.

I think you miss alot of things. I am not alone. One thing it would appear you haven't missed is the crack your nose happens to be buried in. Ed won't walk so funny if you back up just a smidge.

guys, its the internet.

calm down.

there are sites i browse every single day that much much worse things happen on regularly. its the internet, its the wild west out there. there is no pecking order, no social structure, its all more or less anonymous, no amount of anything can change that.

nothing will happen. its not a big deal at all.

i have graphs to back up my point -

So I take it the guy that's making a big deal about porn on PbN doesn't like it, never looks at it, or maybe even, doesn't like nude women? This guy is a saint! Wow just wow I have great respect for that.

That's one of those cases where professors would use as examples why correlation does not always mean relation.

Or at least I hope not.

If you really feel that PbN has broken the law, then contact the authorities. Of course unless you have proof to backup the statements you could be opening yourself up to slander.

Running around with a "he said, she said" circular argument does nothing but increase tensions over here.

Can anyone prove that porn was posted there? I don't care about scantily clad women that's not porn, was porn posted on the site directly and left floating around? It seems that's not true.

No sure children soliciting pron from members is a no no, but PbN has taken action against that. Sure you may not like the action they took but it was probably enough to protect them from a lawsuit.

Really no one forces you to type PbN's web address and go there. If you don't like the place just stop going. Stop talking about about, stop gossiping about it, let it go.

It's really not that hard.
