    Also that Candle'bre forum. The nameless owner of said game/forum has literally copy/pasted all posts in it from Apolyton to its new home.

    Which I'm not sure is even legal, depending on your ToS. I'm not sure if posts made on this site are property of this site.

    Please be aware Robert Plomp, that vindictiveness from a few posters here may not always give the whole picture, but yeah some spring cleaning is in order.

    I'm not being vindictive. Vel has left the site, set up a forum for his ego vehicle on WePlayCiv and copy/pasted all content from the Candle'bre forum here, over there.

    Just lock Candyland (and the other two). No need to delete the posts. But they will become troll playgrounds...or just be moribund unless locked out. Put them in archives and clean up the space.

    BTW, Asher. I never got an invitation to join WeLoveCiv. Did you? I wonder if they kept out the thuggish types.

    Several posters have repeatedly asked me to come, the admin repeatedly let me know I'd be "welcome to post there if I behaved"

    They just don't know you. The site is run by a bunch of OTF rejects.

    I'd like to point out I just posted in the Clash forum yesterday without even noticing that this site had undergone major changes in terms of ownership.
    I'm not sure whether anyone will read or reply since Clash has been inactive for about 2 years.
    You may want to close the forumn but at least archive it or give me prior notice so I can copy all the content somewhere. Regarding the site (clash.apolyton.net), it's probably full of webs and full-grown spiders by now. If you want to take it off or something, again please tell me since there's a lot fo data in there that I would miss if they vanished.
    It would be nice to ask Mark Everson about it too, but he said he had lost interest in the project. I haven't, I just happneed to be unable to work on it for a long while. Of course, if I'm the only one interested, it should probably be closed, but I'd like to keep the data.

    Would all of the COMPLETELY NOT-PATHETIC weplayciv trolls kindly locate the nearest emergency exit, and jump on out?

    That Candle'bre forum is useless. Vel has left and is kind of abusing his moderator powers now.

    All he's doing is closing threads and ignoring the questions they pose.

    It's clearly an ego vehicle with no purpose if he's flagged WePlayCiv as his home site.

    Would you quit whining about him already, I believe everyone gets it by now. Besides, if anyone is attention whoring Candle'bre around here it's most definately you.

    Wow. Seriously, hex, you wanna go there? Like that?

    I make an astute comment about the grammar of his post meaning something he probably didn't intend. It flew right over your head, too. And then you shot at me like that?

    Pretty classic.

    Asher emphasized Vel being an attention whore time and time again while in fact he was acting like one himself.

    You know well enough what I meant, but in true nature of your evasive posting style you can't seem to refute that claim. Truth hurts eh

    I'm just more of a venegeful bastard. You can ask people who PM with me, where there's no attention-whoring to be found.

    Vel decided to attack me and specifically call me an attention-whore with "look at me" threads. He then made the biggest "look at me" thread we've seen in weeks and many other tantrums since to insist he is leaving, yes he is, he is leaving, yep he is going...but he's still here. He did it for the attention.

    So, being vengeful as I am, I am more than willing to point it out to him.

    Now, quit being an "attention whore" and threadjacking please. Some of us are trying to clean this site up. And having a graveyard forum like Vel's doesn't bode well for the image of the site, particularly when all he does is lock threads there while evading the pertinent questions they asked.

    Traianvs was very clear...

    I will be clear too...You are small-minded, petty, vengeful (your words) and ultimately a pitiful excuse of a social cripple (my words)

    Please ban me now! Pul-eeze!!!!

    Hex: please stop posting insults to Asher.

    Asher: your posts regarding Vel abusing his powers are uncalled for. It is his forum, and he already contacted me about a solution. It's my fault that nothing has been done yet.

    This thread has served it's purposes and will be closed before it'll be abused.
    We are looking into all forums and we will make decisions there.

    Everybody: thanks for the heads up! Really appreciated.
