The first thing you have to learn, P3nguin, if you didn't yet - internet is not your gaming site. Crying for sympathy won't bring you anything positive but instead turn people against you.
You've got to find the fine line of balance and remain neutral. Be helpful, tell other people something about yourself, but don't push things too far. Don't take internet THAT seriously, it's not there to replace the real life. Instead, if you have problems here, let it be and spend more time outside with friends, but crying for attention is not the right direction of behaviour, it will only bring people up against you.

I can understand your point though, but then again, it's something you just brought about yourself by taking it too seriously. Ok, maybe it happened during a sensitive point in your life, when you weren't adult enough to go off it all early enough or had problems in real life, but don't you think now it's time to go on and leave it all completely behind? Leave this sad point in the past and begin a new chapter. And it would be really better for yourself to just let it all from the past be and not hold any grief on all those people. Unless you've done something yourself to bring such hatred upon you, they're not worth it.

c'mon people, ban this dude already, he have been banned from 80+ forums, it won't make a difference... Titan, get him! It's time for a NUKE MWHAHAHAHAHA :evil:

*Nuking Playbahnosh*

To sum up what the rest said, If you get banned from one or two forums might not be your fault, but if you've managed to get booted from 80 forums.. well.... it's time to start thinking WHY you where booted.
Usualy ppl who get banned once and then sneak back in, are the most hated type of forum user and are open for hunting all around the year.

Look we've had alot of odd ppl here. A few didn't manage to obey the simple rules we have here and got booted. A few of them started to return, and for a while we had open season on a few ppl we hunted with tourch and pitchfork.
Many maaaaany others managed to behave. Some needed a slap and got the message, then adapted.

A forum is NOT a demoCrazy. It's owned/run by a single person/collective and theire rules is the rules to follow.
It's as simple as that. You can not demand anything realy, as absolutly jack will happen unless the ppl in power wants it to happen.
Abandonia has, afaik, a reputation of beeing realy liberal and open. Sadly that is not verry common.
On the other hand, there are many other forums out there, and usualy it's just a matter of looking until you find one that suites you... perhaps you have?

As said before, listing that you've been banned from 80 forums is not realy something most users would mention a sqeek about.... but now you did... and it seems you've matured in the forum-world and might realize that there is a mold you have to fit inside to be able to stay and be accepted.

Then I got banned from even more forums because they didn't share my common interests and I complained too much.
[/b]
Says it all...

Why joining a forum, if the other members don't share the same interests as you? That's sounds like trying to enter a specific (house, black, indie,...) disco just to be in there, not because they are playing the music you like. If those strong guys at the door won't let you in, there is definitely no point in complayning or discussing. It's their right to ban anybody from this club for any sensible reason. I'm not curious, what you might have done. But 80+ forii (dunno if it's correct plural, but sounds really sophisticated... :D ), even if it took only two weeks for every single try, that makes 3 years!

Just answer yourself a few questions:
1. Is the number of your real- life friends (comrads, mates,... ) bigger than the number of your online buddies?
2. How would you spend the next two days, if your computer was out of order?
3. When did you use a pencil and a piece of paper for the last time?
4. Could you name any benefit from beeing member in an discussion board besides sharing (or not sharing) oppinions (e.g. practising a foreign language, learning new programm techniques, exchanging recipes for cakes,...)?

It's for yourself, so you don't need to post an answer.

Last year, they found out I made my own Dino Crisis site and forums and they got it deleted
[/b]
Why was it really deleted? Perhaps copyright violations? Those subjects had been discussed suffiently elsewhere.

Now I have to take occasional trips to see a psychologist because people on forums make me feel sad inside.
[/b]
It's not the board or the people in it, which makes you feel sad inside, maybe they're just revealing it... hope your psychologist will guide you to help yourself.

BTW: The little penguin is really cute...

1. No
2. Fixing my Computer
3. I needed to write down some weapon stats for Jagged Alliance 2 to see if bobby ray's had any better ones (1.13 mod has zillions of weapons)
4. Yes

So ... do I get a clean bill of health...?

80 forums, I don't think I've even visited 80 forums!
I did get banned once though ... for a stupid reason....

Nick 29-01-2007 07:40 AM

Hm... I can't believe it. What are the admins, which can support 80+ forums, on which you've been banned?... Very unusual story.
