Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

No, I'm just pointing out the truth that your behavior made all too clear.

What you were trying to pass off as a support site was nothing more than your own personal vanity project.

You should've been up front about that fact and you weren't.

I don't care to speculate if it's becasue you're not honest with others or if you're just not honest with yourself.

That's the core of my beef here, ASDC was one of the few sites left where you could talk to those people.

Al probably forgot that his purpose in life is to make things convenient for you.

You probably thought this was a clever, snarky retort but it actually makes my point for me.

Al was claiming to run a support site for the benefit of its members when in reality he was just trying to elevate his own profile in the AS online community.

When that didn't work, he just left it like he didn't care (which he didn't).

In other words he pulled a Melody Hensley.

By claiming to be a support site, he owes the membership to live up to a higher standard than some side project that can be tossed aside when he gets bored with it.

When he left to "deal with RL issues" he left absolutely no one in charge. The site withered and died as a result.

Someone has to hold his ass to a fire for that fact.

A site is made by the combination of members and staff. Without members active, no site, and no staff.

After PPK and El-Presidente left, activity plummeted. From regular members, from moderating members, and from the leftover admin members.

Only members active in the end were Ozy, Dunc, Some-Bloke, TitsMcgee, Lit and me. Of those, TitsMcgee was a mod on a section, and I was a childforum mod. BB and Jack posted once or twice in the past few months too.

The site was as good as dead. And a revival try a while ago did not bring what it needed to bring.

Just start a callout, Pappy. I'm tired of seeing drama here when there is a whole damn section meant for drama.
Callouts are for situations where people want to argue without anyone else having any input in the thread.

I'm pretty sure that this is one of those situations...
How so?

It just seems like this is something between Al and Pap, unless I'm reading it wrong.
That makes sense; just didn't understand what you meant because they weren't exactly telling others to butt out of the topic. Seems there's a callout now though.

There have been countless autism spectrum boards, "support" boards and otherwise, that have died out from lack of members. I don't see why this one is a sign of some moral failing on Al's part. Retaining members is a logistical question, not an ethical one.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Since you brought up Dunc, I think it's Dunc's fault you can't talk to those people, and I just can't get past the idea you're just as mad at Dunc. I actually wish Dunc was here right now. I know you guys are all mad and serious at the moment, but your arguing has got me all revved up, and I had the most hilarious idea. I'm a charming and persuasive gopher, and if Dunc were here I think I could talk him into joining me in a pseudo-callout, with him and me mock-flaming and burning each other in a twisted effigy of your and Al's current argument.
I think that would be really funny.  :lol1:

Why would any of it be Al's fault? It's up to Dunc, Ozy, Lit etc to post at whatever boards there are left. If they choose not to, blame them or start a new board and invite them.
