Comments on: Post #200 - Time for some retrospect. http://thedarkestevil.com/internet-life/site-stuff/240-post-200-time-for-some-retrospect/ I tried sniffing Coke once, but the ice cubes got stuck in my nose. Fri, 21 Nov 2008 03:54:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Kyle http://thedarkestevil.com/internet-life/site-stuff/240-post-200-time-for-some-retrospect/#comment-280 Kyle Tue, 08 Aug 2006 12:51:54 +0000 http://www.thekyle.ca/blog/2006/08/06/post-200-time-for-some-retrospect/#comment-280 I openly admit that most everything that is in this blog is based on opinion and leans slightly to my beliefs. However, here is how it went down: 1. Floris deliberately insulted me. You can view this at http://www.vbulletin-fans.com/showpost.php?p=153426&postcount=38. He did it with the intent of defamation. 2. Floris at no time, retracted his statements nor apologised. 3. Pyro gave me an official warning, instead of apologising on the behalf of the staff and administration at vB fans. 4. Floris banned me from the IRC channel 5. I was banned from the fora. (my old profile: http://www.vbulletin-fans.com/member.php?u=3474 ). The administration of a fora should remain as one. You can't just insult members of the fora, especially members that have been with the fora a long time and made numerous contributions. I highly disapprove of the methods used and the actions taken by the staff at vB fans and advise any community leader never take those actions. To run a community you need to be accountable for your wrongs. Unfortunately, this is not the belief over at vB.nl and will be it's eventual demise.

In my eyes all that happened was feedback from our community members about a few of your posts - so we gave you a warning and requested you to just discuss other topics- instead of causing trouble. The response from you was an accusation of libel and the previous blog posts and running away from our web site - even inviting others to stay away from us as far as possible. After your previous blog posts I no longer feel the need to explain situations to you, or to try and resolve the matter. I just wish it would have gone differently, because all that vBulletin-Fans.com is about, is have a great place for vB software fans to have fun. I've heard you are moving to Canada, I wish you a great migration and good luck. It is a fantastic country and I am sure you will have a great time. And after building up my blog on mrfloris.com I am looking forward to the changes you are making on yours. They are a motivation to keep working on my own blog site. Be well, Floris Hey Kyle,

You were an active member on vBFans and always offered valuable insights into our discussions. However, I think the series of events that lead up to this predicament were grossly overreacted to. I wish you could have stayed around without posting this one-sided account of the situation to a public forum like this blog. I have no doubt it would have been resolved in a way all parties would find satisfactory. I feel the need to gracefully disagree with your views on vBFans and remind all readers of this blog to remember that this is a one-sided, bias recollection. We are not evil admins out to get people.
