Latest update: Apologies for errors yesterday, due to php resource allocation needs configuring to suit the server, and can only do that when we know what's not working.
There should be no more errors now, but there might be a bit more configuring required. If you get any error 500's or other errors browsing, please send me a pm with your ip address, time of error (and your timezone if not uk), and the page you're trying to access.
Should be leading to some big performance increase and new features. Thanks to everyone for patience and support.

Says the guy who got banned from ESB under a 100 different aliases, and inspired the popular catchcry of 'Fuck off Johnstown'. I think the cheeseburger grease has gone to your head.

Admins have alts for a reason, well several reasons. He's still here, they just took out a new alias - we wanted to move away from "the gays" anyway. That was mainly banter between us - mods/admins are the only ones we get to fuck with and my account is the untouchable one - so I decided to end the argument when we were fucking around in the GTMSBT.
The admins are all long time posters (mostly), and all decent guys. Mostly. (See [MENTION=1893]Davvers[/MENTION] ) It's just much easier to enjoy the forums using normal account, then you have your admin account as/when required. They can't screw around with normal posters and even if they do, I can find out who it was very quickly and I give them a bollocking as required.

He means why has one guy been banned for using the word nigga when the person he was responding to had calling him a honky cracker and is not banned? It is a total double standard and bordering on the sort of thing I expect from people who think that only whites are racist. If someone incessantly race trolls I agree they should be banned, but as obnoxious as I find racism I don't think it should merit a ban if someone uses a slur in a non boxing thread. I would generally advocate freedom of speech. They sure as fuck won't be banning people for saying faggot and nor should they. But either discriminatory insults are off limits or they are not.
I'll say this if you go down the line of making all of them off limits, you will rapidly have a site that is far more restrictive than the old one and FAR more of a hassle to moderate and run too.
Didn't know about that before.
It doesn't make much sense to ban the reply but not the instigation. TBF, the reply was the only post that got reported so the 'cracker' bit wasn't originally seen. I agree with you though, you can't make some off limits and not others.
Though I disagree that we should just leave racial slurs. The place would quickly become overrun with race-wars and absolute shite, like the sort of stuff that BossHog was posting. Fuck that. To me that's worse than having a forum overrun by chincheckers.

I don't see why anyone would need to say it? If it's a quote from a film, or actually in context in some way, fine. But there is no need for anyone to call someone a ******, cracker or any negative racial word as such. I don't want to add to filter list really, but I want to stamp it out now so it's a clear policy that we don't want it here.
Most of the reported posts we get are racially related, words like 'faggot' aren't quite on the same degree, for me.

I don't think any words should be banned, just the context in which they're used. If you're being a cunt, you get Gulag'd. Full stop, really.

Yes they can as evinced by this bogus post made with a dormant account.

You're a banned poster. As evidenced by having over 250 odd accounts, which all get banned as soon as you're identified. Technically, your account belongs to me, every single bit of data on this site belongs to me. If I want to make a post with your account, I can do. It wasn't me, and I did actually tell the admin behind that to not do it again.Yes they can as evinced by this bogus post made with a dormant account.

Haha, nah, they all get banned pretty quickly. The guy celebrated having one open for 48 hours (we already knew by the time he sent a pm informing us of his victory, but there comes a time when you stop caring and want to see what the car crash looks like250 accounts
Perhaps having 597 users online on 11-06-13 at 07:50 AM wasn't quite the achievement we'd thought it was?
