Q23 - This is what happens when your admin isn't me.

What am I supposed to take from this?

I guess I'd have to have some background.

[Arthur_Parker]

I've had an account there for eight years and never felt the need to make a single post.  That's a pretty epic admin tantrum though.

Nothing really, it's just an admin behaving like an idiot in the giant circlejerk that is Q23. Q23 is like FoH, except somehow less relevant with worse in-jokes than the ones that Reddit steals from 4chan.

They did have the epic Hatoful Boyfriend thread though, so there's that.

[Lakov_Sanite]

I didn't even know that site existed, nor do I know now even what it is remotely about.

[Bzalthek]

I don't like to shit on people I don't know much about, but that admin guy seems rather... I don't know.  Sort of like I want to offer him a few nails to go with that cross he's flaunting about.

[HaemishM]

What kind of a fucking moron unbans everyone and just lets people run completely wild and is then surprised at how bad it gets? ON THE INTERNETZ of all places?  

[schild]

I'll probably get banned, for posterity though:

[WayAbvPar]

Epic QQ.

e- heh


I thought I had an unused account set up there, but I don't see my name in the users. Now I feel left out!

[Arthur_Parker]

Like the image

Lum has post up about it too.

Here's a PR Release for you:

It is not the official position of f13 to adopt users from circlejerks such as Q23 no matter how hard Tom Chick wants to fall on his own knife.

[tazelbain]

How did Lum form his own Banned from LtM?

[Lum]

A finely honed sense of irony.

[Merusk]

A finely honed sense of irony.

I was just about to post how reading a few pages of that felt eerily familiar.  Heh.

I do not miss ye olde forum drama of old.

[Yegolev]

This could have happened back when I was off work for the holidays, but no.  Thanks, Tom.  I'll not be reading 20+ pages of "wut" just to distill some good old forum drama.  Not today, at least.

[Xanthippe]

I'll probably get banned, for posterity though:

 

[Ironwood]

Is this the same guy that writes the Chick Tracts ?

He seems the same.

[Mrbloodworth]

I'm Confused. But that's OK. Its my normal state.

[rattran]

Tom Chick is not Jack Chick.

But he's close to as crazy.

[IainC]

The Tl:dr is that Qt3 is another Lum diaspora site that, for the last few years has been run by Tom Chick. Tom is the only moderator on the site and has strenuously resisted calls to either share the burden or allow a more egalitarian regime depending on how you want to frame it.

Back in August Tom posted a poll on whether to allow avatars on the site which many people construed as being a passive-aggressive swipe at some recent threads suggesting things like spoiler tags and smileys be added. Everytone is taken somewhat aback and there are a few pages of people alternately taking Tom seriously and assuming it's all somekind of prank when, on page 5 it all blows up and Tom flames out, bans himself, unbans everyone else he's ever banned and disappears into the desert for forty days and nights before returning to post the thread that Schild linked upthread.

[MuffinMan]

Qt3 is a diaspora site? Never knew that, probably the only site where I've never had an account.

[tazelbain]

Sounds like pretty standard "hate it but too invested to quit so is going to lash out."  Like me and DAoC at the end.

[ghost]

Well, didn't you ban WUA?    And Sand?  

 

Edit:  I'm honestly amazed at how bent out of shape and serious people can get about their internets.  Some of these idiots probably sit at home with a gun to their head after a negative interaction. 

[Rasix]

He didn't ban WUA. Trippy did.  WUA pretty much banned himself.   Sand's was a ban avoidance ban, which doesn't count for anything.

[ghost]

That situation was too convoluted for me to dissect.  That post should probably be greener than it might appear. 

[Ingmar]

Read thread, see Brad Wardell post, get mad about Elemental all over again. Good times.

[Yegolev]

 

[Slayerik]

WUA is banned?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA
PKed off f13.

[schild]

Dude. It's been fucking months (closer to a year). Do try to keep up. I was barely reading my own site because I'd want to talk and couldn't and even I knew about that.

[Slayerik]

Eh, whatever. Only time I noticed WUA was when he'd try to troll me into a PK/trammel slap fight. He was mostly background noise to me otherwise.

Now, Sand must be a recent one...

[Hutch]

Slayerik, Here is some background. I was in the same boat re: WUA until I read that thread.

[schild]

Slayerik, Here is some background. I was in the same boat re: WUA until I read that thread.

To be fair, the reason people are in the dark about the WUA ban, and others, is because - ahem, we're not Tom Chick.

Now we're full circle. Let's go back to laughing about that train wreck.

[Ingmar]

OMG Lum stole my avatar that I stole from Qt3!

[ghost]

It's pretty funny that Sinij was the first responder in the comments of Lums assessment of the Q23 situation.
