Re: The Klub 17??
I'm going to assume that 'iamkathulu' didn't see my post when hitting reply, because it was on a new page. But yeah, as long as everyone else gets what the actual issue is here and the reason for any tension. I don't at all mean to make any of the fairer people feel unwelcome or anything. But people with attitudes like iamkathulu really don't help and makes things awkward.
Also...
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why you're not welcome anywhere.
Are you lumping everyone together?
No no, what he means is, that this is what people see, whether it represents the whole or not, and where the negative reputation has come from. I don't know the details, but I heard that ULMF wasn't the first forum that Klub made a temporary home at, only to be evicted by legal threats. He means you get a bad rep because of the people like iamkathulu who turn up to crash at party, sprinkle it cocaine claiming that no one was able to stop him so it's fine, and then bail to the next party when the police show up to arrest the home owner. Normally throwing some insults at the home owner on the way out or getting indignant for being asked to leave.
Misc Admin:
"Please stop sprinkling cocaine on my furniture and friends, you're going to get me in serious trouble, the police have already accused me of hosting secret drugs deals in the past because of stuff like this. And who the hell are you anyway?"

iamkathulu type:
"Everybody is sooo sensitive, I should just leave and go deal with real adults......its a fucking game and if I wish to sprinkle incriminating crap on people you don't have a say in that matter!!! Ya'll need to grow up.... "
(Note: Whilst I'm picking on iamkathulu here as the most available example, I am really referring to the general attitude that caused all the confrontations and hostility before.)
Because, apparently, all it would take is someone from 3x to register here and pretend to be a Klub user, and keep posting something not to your liking.
Whilst that's of course technically possible, 3x has no interest in attacking the forum itself specifically. They just want to stamp out any Klub activity that they can find, and are perfectly willing to trash and burn the cottages of any place they think might be hiding it, whether officially related or not. Which is ULMFs only real role or motivation in any of this. No one wants to get destroyed by collateral damage in a fight that's not theirs. The phrase "something not to your liking" is misleading. If this stuff wasn't being persecuted, we wouldn't have any issue with it.
That's the main part I just want to get across (again to the few that don't already get it. Sorry to all the others for going on about it). We're not looking for any praise or any other such nonsense. All I ask for, is that people are able to see things from the forum's perspective, and don't give us and our admins abuse for asking them to not dump their problems in our living room.

(I'm not actually staff by the way. Just an oldfag member. That thing in my sig is, uh... well it doesn't refer to any official standing, anyway. >o> )
