Could the admin please re-instate it into my inbox, thank you.

Hiya,

How are you keeping? Hope you're well these days. Just want to take this time to update all my friends on some of the events which are happening shortly, and to begin exposing the dark underworld of boards.ie for what it really is.

But first, I want to inform you all that the date of the next boards beer is Saturday 22nd of May in O'Reilly on Tara Street. For more information why not visit the thread available @ http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/show...threadid=156751 Your attendence would be apriciated and will help boards beer to be an even bigger sucess! There is no other event where you can stand face to face and express your true feelings to the people who talk to on boards.ie. The ideal time to make new friends, meet excisting friends and perform punishment beatings for those who need a good kicking. (Top 10 list of members in need of punishment will be published the morning of the event).
Aswell as the usual festivities, there will be a special event for Regi, who will be celebrating his step into manhood. This will include testicle related drink games on the night and we encourage everyone to get involved, espically the growing number of female boards.ie members! However, we would like to make a public announcement to remind everyone to take extra special care in making their testicles are hygencly clean to prevent a reoccuance of the great boards.ie crab infestation of 2003 which claimed the life of DeVore's foreskin. Floppy is greatly missed by all, but I'd like to think there is still abit of Floppy in everyone who had the pleasure meeting him. RIP

There has been some discussion over the last couple of months about my Admin status on boards.ie and how it has been removed unfairly. After a 2 hour discussion with the other Admins on boards.ie we have come to the conclusion that we will let you, my friends, decide if I am to become an Admin again. You can PM ecksor and let if know if you would like my admin status returned or not. The majorities decision will be upheld.

Now it is time for me to fill you all in on a darker side of boards.ie....... I have been researching this for the last few months and this is the first time I have revleaded my findings, which was a shock to me at first, but as I dug deeper I learned the true level of decect thats actually happening on boards.ie. The Knights of Comeonban us are no innocent usual socity on boards.ie, they are actually the people who pull all the strings in regard to the running of boards.ie. The Admins? Nothing more than puppets in their evil game to play and incite anger in members so they can abuse and downgrade them by bans and the prision forum. Each member of comeonbanus is clearly immune from bannings as clearly seen on many occasions on boards.ie. - Head of the chain is Asok, who is mod of the comeonbanus forum alongside Kharn. Its a fact that Asok has worked with DeVore for many months before and that Kharn is DeVores personal skiing instructor (a ****e one at that - hows the leg DeV? Thats boards.ie karma for you) These two people, are the real two most powerfull people on boards.ie - What they say go's. Of course they all keep an eye out for each other since they are all close persoanl friends with other members of Comeonbanus such as Skypak, Doodee, Bard, Beruthiel, and Amz. But what does this mean? I have discovered and intercepted a copy of a number of e-mails on a mailing list which all the members of Comeonbanus and the Admins are on. The contents of these mails is frighting. They show these members stiring up arguments and trying to incite anger and fustration on poor innocent members of boards.ie, any member that threatens or annoys them. I have read that on at least 2 occasions Sangre and Ronaldo7 where provoked into getting banned. Why? Because ecksor didn't like them. Even the name 'Comeonbanus' is a bloat to all members of boards.ie showing off their inability. What can we do about this? I'm afriad there's not alot we can do short term - but remember if you see the logo of The Knights of Comeonbanus in anyones sig - consider the poster a troll and ignore their post. Also try to avoid boards which are moderated by members of comeonbanus as they are the personal 'play areas' of the member - their favorite place to wreck havok with members. This is also part of the reason my my Admin status was taken - because I would not fall in line with the others and participate in the abuse of fellow members. So, make your decision heard and PM ecksor telling him to reinstate me as an Admin.
And now for some lighter news - because I have so many friends ( and I'm thankfull that I have each and every one of you as my friend) I've decided to hold a couple of competitions. Why? You see, I'm a giver, I like to give something back to the members of boards.ie, unlike others. So this is your chance

Competion 1 - To win the latest CD/DVD burner and 5 blank DVD's

Thanks for posting it up Zener

I asked to get the newsletter also.
Did the admins delete it ?

sionnach

it's still in my inbox, and there it shall stay

Redshift

I got it too Wierd

Boston

They can't delete it if you have already read it.

DeVore

Why would whether you'd read it make any difference to a deletion command to a database?

Anyway I didnt delete them, maybe someone else did but since some people have them and some havent I wouldnt have thought they were. It IS spam since
1. Its going to people who havent asked for it.
2. Worse, its purporting to be some kinda competition from Boards (though its hard to see it as anything other then a thinly veiled mobile # & username trap).

Our rules are no spam/mass PMs so I dont like this but to be honest, this is the first I've heard of this "newsletter".

Because I restricted it to messages that hadn't been read.

ecksor

Oh wait, that was in response to Boston, wasn't it? Hehe, never mind me ...

I come home form a long hard slug at the office to be welcomed with the great bubbles newsletter ... only to have it taken away.

I just dont like that fact that it was deleted without actually giving us time to read it.

ecksor

bubbles is banned.

If he had wanted to distribute a newsletter, he could advertised announcements or stickies in his forum. However, if he could have PMed people who explicitly agreed to receive it and only those people then I wouldn't personally have had a problem with that and I'd probably have never found out about it since I wouldn't have gotten any complaints about it (or received one myself).

Hi, bubbles here

What can I say? No really what can I say? - I send a PM to about 550 of my friends and I get banned. Sure, none of my friends asked for the PM, but isn't that the case with most PMs? I mean Bard sent me a PM there last week without me asking me first - why wasn't he banned? Sure, there are some people who say I'm not their friend, but last time I checked I was friends with them.

The last PM I sent, which was sent to alot more people, some people then said they didn't want to be my friends anymore - so I removed them from my buddy list.

If you check you will see anybody who said they didn't want it didn't get it according to the previous thread buried a bit in feedback/suggestions, and requests via PM

Therefore I didn't send it to anyone who didn't request it.

I think I hit a nerve in the admins and comeonbanus camp.... fine, ban bubbles if you must, but I will not let it stand at that.

Ecksor - really - if you have a personal problem with me, how about you actually say it to me without acting like a kid?

As for the competition - no one is forcing you to enter - its your choice. I'm just trying to let 3 lucky people get a little something for their troubles. Whats wrong with that?
