Full Version : Story about new Lawton forum

There's this guy that runs a new Lawton forum, which the community is rallying behind saying, "It's about time Lawton got it's own forum!" and so and so. The url is lawton.16.forumer.com, by the way.

I worked out a deal w/ their admin to come and merge with us on the old forum, and I also offered him the option to appoint one moderator for the time being. Things seemed to be going well, we had a new member, named LawtonGuy, who had full access to the admin panel, and I didn't worry too much about it. WTx, the man who helped LawtonGuy establish a forum that would kill my Lawton section, later told me that having multiple admins is like "holding your butt up to the world and waving a jar of vasoline". Sick, but true, especially for folks I don't even know.

I got up the next day and my forum was a goner, nothing existed any longer, and I had to start up from scratch. On his Lawton site there were some unfriendly comments waiting for me in a PM. And the Lawton forum continue to this day, virtually unscathed.

I replied to the PM as nicely as I could, and then he replied and said he was sorry about my forum and apologized for being a jerk in the previous PM. I then offered to at least help him as a moderator and a top-poster on his forum, because either way my Lawton section was a goner if he wouldn't merge.

He denied my request to help him out, and then he posted a sticky thread in the main forum that they're a lookin for moderators. And I just logged on the forum a few minutes ago to see what was up with them these days, and see if they really ever got off the ground at all, or if the previous Lawton membership at UO had given up on forums, and I got a nice public service message from the admin:

You have been banned.

Have a nice day.

Hey I’m glad that someone got to read what I said on the Lawton Forum... When you become a member, they don’t allow you to do PM or e-mails

I went to the Lawton section for chat and then this happened...
