...somehow started thinking about stuff that happened some seven-ish years ago and for some reason you've stayed up almost all night thinking about it?
well - it's happened to me! Maybe it's just the #suckbrickkid stuff that recently happened here that's done it - I dunno... :-\
I guess I should explain. Around that time, I'd just started getting into KP, and was looking for forums I could join to talk about the show. I found one in the DMCB - the Disney Channel Message Boards (it no longer exists now, FYI) and while there I became quick friends mith everyone and eventually became a mod there. That's when things started to go down hill
At one point during my run as a mod, I wanted to delete a message of mine because I'd done something stupid (put it this way: I learned the Internet HATES .bmp images) and instead accedentally deleted the whole thread. I quickly contacted the main admin and admitted my error. So what does he do...? he "Bans" me. and my "Ban," He put me in pretty much my own forum, which was the only thing I could see on the site's message board when i was logged in, whilst they (the main admin + one other) ridiculed me and edited anything I wrote to "dur hur, I am an idiot" and other such stupidity. The name calling I really didn't mind - I was thick skinned. Being called all sorts about my weight since I was a kid helped there. What botherd me was the fact they went and properly banned anyone who even thought of sticking up for me. That was pretty much it for me. I asked my then girlfriend at the time to let me borrow her account (she was also a fan, and I reccomended the site to her) so I could say what's on my mind without the idiots being able to do Jack to it. The message was basically "I'm not coming back, go f*ck yourselves and find someone else to poke fun at." Which I did: I never went there again. During that Time I ranted on my LJ (entry no longer exists) and at SOAH City (topic no longer exists) to whit, for some inexplicable reason tugged on a few people's strings (Read: the DCMB morons left the Spam filter turned off... idiots.) and spammmed the living s**t out of the place, which I thought was funny at the time even though I didn't ask them to do it.
Some time later I was IM'd my one of the admins, and recieved an apology, and asked me to come back to the boards, which I did to ask for an apology from the other Admin. His Responce? To put me back in the ridicule box and to have the nearve of accusing me of "Ban-dodging." Right then and there I knew I wasn't going to get an apology from him and just left for good wothout telling anyone. The place had turned into a wortless pile of s**t anyway - talking about nothing but Spongebob Squarepants.
Now I know a lot of you are probably looking at this right now and thinking things like "tl;dr" and "cool story, bro" but it was something that I just had to get out there again sonehow (that, and I might finally go to sleep - it's past 5am now. )
