I brought a lot of volume to S.I., almost 500,000 hits on that particular threade, I had people coming back to S.I. every day just to check it out and I did follow the rules and when a certain cocky simod started banning people for no reason at all, people got tired of it....if it wasn't for the people coming to this site, clicking away on their little mouse's every night and day enjoying themselves, then this is what happens, you get less then half of people you had from a few yrs ago. and all the fun taken out, People make a site happen. Cocky admins getcha what ya got now. Truth bomb. I dont think I'll be back, I don't have to tread lightly to have fun
you left out the pertinent details: when the surf forecast site stopped working and people drifted elsewhere, most of them did so like reasonably mature people. you, however, went out like a petulant 12 y/o, plastering the board with hardcore porn. you were promptly permabanned accordingly. it's unclear whether you actually are 12 or 14 or whatever, but nevertheless, you're only expected to follow the site's posted rules. if that's a problem for you, you should not come back.
2 pics of mild porn, hardly plastering, don't blow it out of proportion, son. If you look at my old bio, I'm probably old enough to be your daddy, I wish I was 14 instead of 60, and again don't blow things out of proportion, did I deserve getting canned, yes, sure i did. I'm old enough to admit it. Are the moderators here to cocky, yes they are.
Ummmm, people started "drifting" BEFORE the forecast went down. People started drifting when everyone was getting permabanned and posts being ghosted and all kinds of administrative nonsense, because the administration became more empowered after the original administrator (Micah) left. None of that garbage ever happened under Micah.
You each have valid points. I wasn't around when micah ruled the dark web but I stand by my statement. I look at the mostoke forum and don't miss the echo chamber thought process but most of those guys are intelligent well seasoned surfers and all around good dudes. I don't miss the (think like me or you're stupid) negativity. Doesn't mean my thoughts are better than the next guys thoughts though. I like the peaceful surf vibe thats here almost everything lately is surf related or positive, not that I need rainbows everyday but the colors are cool!
There was at least 5 or 6 guys who did that. Some were permabanned. Others got a week or 2 off. Definition of arbitrary and capricious
Hi everybody. I hope all has been swell. In case you're wondering, I may or may not be new. You can probably piece it together as I opted not to do another intro, and just came to this here threade. I will say I have been known to handle my share of pans back in the day. It appears the self-assumed messiah will surely know just as soon as he is done getting jackhammered, cleans himself off, and gets back to his mums computer. Just kidding superiorultrakoolmod5, you do a super awesome jobbe!!! I have missed coming to SI to check out what is happening in this neck of the woods. For a while I would do a little amateur stalking of the site, nothing creepy. Just your normal level of peering through the blinds while you're in your undergutchies type stuff. My question, directed to his high-ness is why did I get a permaban? No porn from me. I made a post about how the state of the forumme was rapidly deteriorating and how sad it was to watch. I even made it the first threade topic I created here. You being the true mutt that you are edited the post, then deleted it. I asked for it back, and yes I called you a "cocque sucker" and something about eating a bag of.... I could have elaborated more because what you did was the true definition of a rooster engulfer (see, I can change) but I didn't. And that warranted permabann? If so, then I am glad to have switched over to the new clubhouse. It is my new team and we have a really goode time all the time. Though honestly, I would like to be reinstated here so I can swing by every now and again as most that remain here are kool guys and the stoke here is chill aswell. But only if I get my old account back. Look back through my old posts, I never got unruly or too far out of line. Or you can continue to be a d-bag, in which case, you suck, literally Merry Christmas and I hope all of you get some waves this week Peace swellies
Only a matter of time before permaban axe falls! Plenty of new voters if you know what I mean. I'm here cause old habits die hard.
I miss South Jetty Bill, and East Sandbar Phil, and Yankee, and Koki Barrels, and Seldom. The Christmas story was awesome. But it's been a while since I have lurked myself. Glad to have the forecast somewhat back.
FUcast is up to the same old tricks... 5 days out it's head high and offshore. 24 hours out it's knee high.
