I'm in contact with him on Facebook. I know why he got banned and it was bullshit.

He got banned because WSI had this stupid rule where when you posted a link you couldn't copy a paragraph or two from the article and paste it. They thought they had a high enough profile that they would get sued by the content creator :lol:

People pull quotes when linking to articles all the time to give a summary or highlight a point. It's common practice and would even be considered "fair use" under copyright law.

That's why he got banned and yep it's bullshit, just like everything else the admin there does.


Should tell him to post here. And what you are describing is the entire business model of the Huffington Post.

At least bigfan was smart enough to not ban any good posters.

It was some guy named George who founded it. I met one of their admins at Soxfest. He probably weighed 400 pounds and was very pissy. I remember thinking he was a terrible ambassador for a website, but he represented the user experience well.

I remember swearing in a gamethread, and this poster Mary Swiss said that she was offended and to act like I was in front of my mother. It was like posting in a grade school classroom.

Remember the WSI Drinking Team? They all got banned overnight because they went to another board to bash the admin and one of them narked on the entire group... that site is like fucking middle school :lol:

I vaguely remember it. I do remember them all being banned, but I did not know why. That was another thing about it. They had a vow of secrecy about why people were banned. It cannot be talked about.

Was it that Brian admin? Or the plumber guy?

I've never ran a message board but I do have some knowledge of it and other stuff and if I may defend pretty much any admin it's a pretty thankless job filled with daily headaches that would drive most people somewhat crazy dealing with it for years. That's why most of the big forums either have the owners step back eventually and let others run it or they change hands or just fail. It's like running a business where at least 5% of your users are unhinged loons that cause 95% of the problems. Eventually you just don't want to deal with it and you just ban anyone who crosses you. It's dumb and a site killer but it's at least in small part understandable.

It certainly is. Some people do not have the make-up for it, and are just petty and thin-skinned in real life as well. From my brief interactions there I would suspect that to be the case.

Ha. That's right Palehose George. I remember he claimed to have a close relationship with his daughter in utero. And that he would have known if she was switched at birth when discussing a case that was in the news. Strange claim.
