Welcome back

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby CoasterDave316 on December 1st, 2003, 3:20 am
Welcome back everyone to the SFGAmWorld Forums!

I have most things up and running again, but if you notice any errors please E-mail me at Sfgamworld@sfgamworld.com or PM me and let me know.

Also, I must thank Tom Crean - Traitor for helping me getting these forums back up and running. I can't thank him enough for the time he spent helping get these things running again.

The forums have returned to how they were on November 14th for the most part, unfortunally there was a error with phpBB's 2.0.3's backup and I found out about it the hard way. Which was the reason it took us so long to get these forums back up.

Also for those of you wondering T_Biggs is no longer a member or a moderator to this site.

Happy posting.

The whole story is this:

T_Biggs was a hated moderator on the forums, I would get 3-4 PM's about him a week on average from members who thought he insulted them or wrongly deleted their posts.

It all started in a chat a few weeks ago, anybody we has been in a chat with us before knows we talk about all sorts of stupid stuff in there. And usually T_Biggs is behind starting that stupid stuff.

Me and a few others were talking the whole Michael Jackson story and decided we would call the next person who entered Chester just for the hell of it to see how they reacted.

HolyDumb ended up being the next person to entered so we did it to him, he took the joke fine. Travis entered next and we did it to him. He however got pissed within seconds and left and started IMing me voicing he was pissed off lol.

For once T_Biggs was the one being pissed off about something we had said instead of somebody else being pissed off about something T_Biggs had said.

The next day T_Biggs insulted another member and his job on a post in the forums. That member happened to be in the chat that night and saw how pissed off T_Biggs got with the Chester stuff. So he called him Chester again.

Well T_Biggs snapped of course and felt it was ok for him to insult the member but felt the member should be banned for insulting him. I disagreed and felt if you can dish it out you should have to take it. Mind you this is not the first time he has asked me to ban a member before and I disagreed with him.

In the past he has asked me to ban Galvan, Papas, Holydumb, Da ChillinJG16, Da rcman2001 and I can't even remember the rest of them. Chances are if you ever had a disagreement with T_Biggs he asked me to ban you.

So anyhow, me not banning this specific member that called him "Chester" drove him insane and he deleted half the posts on the forums.

If PHPBB's backup didn't have an error in it, we would have had all the posts back up that night. But it took us a little bit to notice that the backup had a error in it, which is the reason we were down for so long.

The reason T_Biggs has lost his Moderator status is because he has lost my trust. Im not going to do a restore everytime he throws a temper tantrum when I don't ban a member. And I would never ban all the members he asked or else we would have very few members lol.

Thats the story for those who wanted to know.....

Yes somebody will replace him eventually. Me, Chitown and Kyle should be enough for the offseason, so I won't be picking a new mod until the season starts most likely.

Don't you worry. I am here lurking in the backround waiting for someone to screw up. :D
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
