Peace to All...A Word about the IMBB

Chaney W. · Jul 7, 2003

Hey, how is everyone doing. I first started posting on the IMBB back in 98 and while I didn't post there as often as alot of people I did read alot of the posts and what I saw there the last few days made me sick. I used to be a mod/admin at megadeth.com for 3 yrs and we had our share of that garbage but it was always kept somewhat under control. I just wonder what the heck happened on the Maiden BB. From what I understand strangeworld used to be in charge and now isn't and that it was a better place then. Can someone please fill me in on what went wrong and since this board is not the IMBB I don't want to clutter it with any more of the left overs so I just want to say,"hey" to everyone.

Peace
Chaney

Hey, welcome to the board

A lot of things started happening and the board got filled with a lot of fighting and confusion. The people who run the firm and employ the people who run the site (I think that's correct) got tired of dealing with the general chat area and decided to shut it down, effective today. I'm not sure if you remember Mark as Strangeworld, but he's the one who runs everything here and does a damn great job

Enjoy yourself here, this is a nice place to hang out n talk about Maiden

hey boss. what happened depends on who you listen to. the obvious result is the place was intentionally fucked up by the powers that be there.

I kinda thought strangworld was Mark. I always remember him as keeping things in control over there. You said the people there were employed? Maybe that was the problem. The megadeth site was run by fans basically without getting paid, except for backstage passes and stuff like that, which is what I thought made it pretty cool. This board here seems to be a heck of alot better and hopefully smoother running.

That's too bad considering it is the official site. I don't know how something like that can happen but at least this place seems nothing like there.
Is this particular board for just Maiden only or can we talk about other stuff and bands?

Some of the people were employed, I think only Skunk and Mark, but whoever is in charge of the overall site got crabby n shut stuff down.

I'm not really sure how they 'pay' the non paid moddies, as far as I know not much, but then I wasn't one so I dunno :lol:

I think it's more fun to just post and toodle at will than making it an extra job. That would just suck.

Black Dragon · Jul 7, 2003

Just don't think it was all Skunk, it was not.

The admins are still better than those nazis on teh Deth BB.

yes it was! true it wasnt her decission to close gc, but it was her who allowed the situation to proliferate and backed up hod when he fucked with jr and let him chase away that group and it is here that didnt do anything to stop alfs condoneing racism and allowed it to be on the board and allowed the mods to say and do whatever they wanted-blablabla

the last word wasnt hers, but the cause and effect were.

only because you arent one of the people they fuck with.

Black Dragon · Jul 8, 2003

Well, what I meant more was the functioning of the BB. Certain people seem to think that she doesn't know tech stuff at all and that they could make it some utopia if they were in charge.

No, actually it was for calling Kelly the "Queen Of Nonsense" and Hand Of Doom HandJOB Of Doom about ten times.

He at least used to be a mod on the Deth BB. I never posted there, but am well aware...
