This news changes things. I want his retort and wtf is up with VV? If she was close to him, how could she allow this to happen and then just disappear? 

Probably way more info than any of us need, TBH.

I SUXXORS as a "friend."   I had no idea that this shit had happened.
I was in my own little world, trying to keep afloat.

Ain't gonna happen here since he's banned. I haven't had contact with either of them since Dunc took down his forum. If there's another side to that story, I don't know it... but it was years ago.

He joined on 2 April.  I just listed the 1 April members.

I should have looked it up.

I suppose we should actually count in anyone who was a member of the original Intensity among the original members here.

I was under the impression it was an action of Pea on his own, seeking revenge for seeing a friend hurt. Something he could not let go.
For the rest, he was really laid back, on the Drivel.
VV disappeared, not for bad reasons, IIRC before this action of Pea. But, my memory may be failing me.

I thought so, but as I said before, I came in about six months later.

What about his curls? What about his insight. What about his bravery. What about his intelligence?

I am actually worried about his health, tbh.

I have known too many who were so healthy in their early twenties and then just ...... not sure that I want to say it outright ...... faded away.

... even if it took a few days to find the new site?

Right!

I do not belong, but most certainly Peter does.

The original Intensity generated a fair bit of drama and so some people held off joining the new site, me included. I was new at the whole spazz board thing back then and so didn't consider joining until the site had already been taken down.

When I2 was started, I lurked a couple of days before joining, wondering if that same drama would be repeated.

Never heard of Isquared until PG invited me here.

I am certain that he wanted to have me here so as to make a mockery of me, but he underestimated me, over and over again. I held my own against his wind of shit.

I found "friends" here.   ... and some enemies. (I posted fairly ugly stuff against a few members at first. LOL).  Unfortunately, my "best friend" turned out to be a Ceasar type (remember?) and quite "tricksy"  as Gollum says.  Took me a bit of time to accept  him as a "friend" again, after all that.

I am now talking about three or so years after the beginning of ISquared, once "we".decided to allow anyone to be an admin.  WTF were we thinking?

The main problem with our democracy experiment was that the board became a board about how to run a board. Plus, of course, that people wanted an admin spot so they could generate new drama.

Nothing wrong with either, but it's not what this place was supposed to be about, IIRC.

Yup.

I could never claim to know what this place was about, since I am such a late-comer,  but once I arrived, it became a bit more difficult every single day to be rid of me.
