I wonder if Hyppo is gonna change her mind and ban me forever? I actually want to go over there and do a few things before I go, and see if it has changed at all.

It hasn't.
The only new post since the last time I checked (about ten hours ago, before going to bed), was by Arny on the Cydonia thread; he warbles on about the pyramids in Mexico and then links to a European Space Agency page with a composite video of the area and text that clearly says the "face" is just a big rock. I have no idea what he thought that proved, if anything.
Addendum:
I was talking to Teg last night and one thing we were wondering about is why some of these decisions aren't being made after consultation among the admins. The "mood" of one admin shouldn't have such far-reaching consequences.
Again, this is why I think that, on large boards, admins should have accounts separate from their usual user accounts. And any moderation, warnings, etc., should include a citation of the appropriate board rules.

None of that is gonna cure Hyppo's weirdness. She wants to make spot decisions on what "the rules" mean, based on how much she likes you. That wont change until she is gone, which she will NEVER do. What the fuck else is there to do in Red Deer? Hang out at Chapters and argue with the government over how they are now responsible for her father and she isn't?SandChigger wrote:It hasn't.

Well, I'm not going to speculate on motivations and all that because I really, honestly, couldn't care less. I just think it's sad that the place seems (at the moment) to be slowing down to the same old low level of activity as before the Diaspora. (At least, that's my perception.)
If Arnold is the only one who's going to be posting there, there's not much reason to go by except to take potshots at him.
Oh well.

It's a flop forum. I was banned because Hyppo doesn't like me and to try back up what she was doing she actually lied to me about a complaint. Shame, really, it could have just taken over where Dunenovels left off after the exodus, the same people were posting about the same themes. The main reason it has failed is because of that liar Hyppo. The first thread I saw when I started posting there was one she had hijacked where a couple of guys were mocking the new Dunenovels rules in German accents. She waded in and actually said "that's enough!" before droning on about suffering under the Nazis and announcing that the thread was locked until the two people responsible PMd her. She then later announced that the thread was now open again, as the PMs had been received by her from the naughty members responsible. I hadn't and still haven't seen anything quite like that from a moderator. I'm convinced her stomping around on Arrakeen is the highlight of her day.
She's also on Dunenovels, which is a surprise as I don't remember her contributing anything noteworthy or remarkable. Without the big admin stick she's just another background dullard.
Anyway, that aside, Arrakeen is a flop, I've already wasted more effort on the dump than it deserves.

Now I can go to checking that out every few days. I've pretty much avoided DN now for the last month.

This is just all too bad. Hyppo, and Byron too, I guess, can kiss my ass. But I loved those forums in their heydays.
Maybe I should expand the Dune section? Anyone have any suggestions?

I hope this won't be taken the wrong way, but anyway, here goes...
The Herberts are shitting all over Frank's legacy and they banned a bunch of us from their BBS...but a few of you still go there and post.
One admin on Arrakeen goes fairly full-tilt batshit and does some things which (I'm assuming) another admin (like Freak or Crys) could undo and people boycott the forum.
I guess I'm just a little confused by the apparent inconsistency. Or am I missing something?![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon/sad.gif)

As far as I'm concerned, there are some differences here, Chig. DN was always the family corp's board. Arrakeen was a fan board. One would assume that clampdowns would happen on a corporate owned board and not on a fan board.SandChigger wrote:I hope this won't be taken the wrong way, but anyway, here goes...

Hyppo's reactions were personal and appeared to me, who received the brunt of it, to be motivated by illogical and constantly changing personal feelings. Byron's may have been sudden, but I think you have acknowledged in the past that you were surprised that you got away with what you got away with for as long as you did.
Some people here have problems with the board in general at Arrakeen. If Hyppo is going to be crazy, then they figure why work so hard to figure the fucking software out? I don't necessarily agree with that, but I can sympathize. And I note that Hyppo does not seem to be doing much to fix the problems, even though she does give lip service every time someone bitches.
Arnoldo is there now. He was not active on DN when you were banned. Hyppo protects him and wants him there. Byron doesn't give a shit.
DN happened first. When Hyppo started turning into a flaming bitch, it was the proverbial last nail in the coffin. Reactions are stronger to her because she knows well what these kind of actions do to online community, since it just happened recently. People blame her personally for DN's and her own sins collectively, and even if that is unfair, she knew what she was doing.
Hyppo tried to come over here just to cause trouble. Why would I want to go back to her board after that? Besides, she is petty enough to try to lord it over me no matter what I do. If I ever get back there, I'm going to do a few things to my account, then get out for good, or at least until Hyppo is no longer an admin.
DN was like crack to me. It was the first board I really ever joined, and it was awesome in its heyday. Arrakeen was not that big to me, though I admit it did fill the void very well for some time. It was not easy for me to quit DN, though now I largely have. With what has happened at Arrakeen, I'm not finding it anywhere near as tough, probably because its not anywhere near as much of an addiction.
Passions are still high right now. Wait for them to die down and see where the opinion lay before attempting to come to any firm conclusions. I may very well go back, though that wench drives me so crazy, in a way that Byron NEVER did, even when he overnight became a Preek.
Its also not clear that Hyppo has changed. For all practical purposes, Byron is no longer banning for stupid stuff. Hyppo, according to the few things I have heard, is still in her little "mood." Why would anyone want to go back there as long as she is calling the shots and is "moody?"
Besides, you've said that you would never go back to DN. Cant you guess that I feel the same way about Arrakeen? And CL too, who was actually banned?
As to what the other admins over there can do, Ill let them comment on that if they want to, as I know nothing about how the board is run. But I suspect that as despite as much common sense as those two guys have, Hyppo makes the calls and that is it. If I'm wrong about that, I'm wrong, and no hard feelings at all. Crys and Freak will ALWAYS be welcome here. But Hyppo did it with out telling them, I think, so what does that tell you?
I tell you one final thing, my friend. When you got banned from DN, no matter the reason, I saw red and I wanted to tear that fucking place apart. As far as I was concerned you were a big part of the heart and soul of that place, and are a big part of the reason why I loved going there. It was never the same after you and Phaedrus and the others got the axe, and it never will be again. I tried to leave DN and never go back, but I was weak, man! Its taken this long to stop caring. Do I go there now? Yes. Only to post on non-Dune things, though. Will I eventually visit Arrakeen, just to see what is up? Maybe. But I'm still a little hot under the collar, so give me a little time here to make up my mind, K?
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon/wink.gif)
Besides, the ones who said that they were not going back were either banned, or made their minds up before all this happened.

OK. Thanks for the in-depth explanation from your POV; makes sense.
I guess the way that I was looking at it is, since Arrakeen IS a fan site and Hyppo is NOT the owner, things over there could be turned around, but only if someone with similar clout (ahem) chooses to take action. Or someone complains to Baron?
Ah well, maybe it's just time to cut my losses?![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon/sad.gif)

There's a whole world of difference. We were on the HLP's own board trashing their products, I'm just surprised Byron let everyone get away with it for so long. When SC and others were banned and it was made clear that other people were on borrowed time, people just fucked off from the site although some started posting again on there, but nowhere near in the volume that people did before the bannings. I only started posting again on Dunenovels as I felt stifled on Arrakeen, what with being nagged by PM and on the forum by that demented hick Hyppo.
My whole experience of Arrakeen was not particulary a fun one and I can't understand why being banned from an official board for taking the piss out of their "star employee" and cash cow Anderson is anything like being banned or suspended for being disliked by a lunatic member of the admin on an unofficial site. Oh, and being lied to in the reason for the ban. At least Byron was honest when he fired SC's arse out of DN.
As for a boycott, I have no idea if that is happening or not. What about the other members of Arrakeen who aren't on here, why aren't they posting? (That was a rhetorical question, I actually couldn't care less if the site thrives or dies, I just don't like being lied to).

I seem to remember Baron showing up around the end of the year on the threads discussing the boardware over there. The main reason Hyppo gives for not moving the board or basically doing anything else to solve the real problems is that it's Baron's board and his decision, blah blah blah.
I don't know if there's really a boycott going on, but it's deader than I've seen it. Nebiros showed up and posted another of his silly moralistic anti-BG things, asking the opinion of the female members of the board.
I relayed a message from ChiggerBint that he ought to spend less time worrying about other people's sex and go get fucked more himself.
Oh well, I've new forums to play with here tomorrow, so who cares!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)

No search tool makes the place practically worthless and the color makes me naseaus, not to mention the drama. It has some sentimental value for me because it was where all the refugees from Dreamers of Dune went when that place went tit's up so I'll try to push for some changes and see if things there get better.
BTW, you're correct. I didn't know about all of the recent happenings until after the fact.

Everyone is right, something has to change over there or the board will die, but it isn't our board, and Freak and I have our hands tied as far as that is concerned.
But I think the wheels are in motion.

I noticed he posted something in the book thread; he reading some of that end-of-the-world "Christian" tripe.
I don't know which bothered me more, that or the suggestion that people with vaginas are less likely to start wars. Hmmm, flip a coin.
And, like, who else thinks Nebby is in need of, like, a serious shtooping? I don't get it, his "girl" looks kinda hot in their MySpace pic.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon/lol.gif)

I don't think he could handle it. He probably cries afterward because of how in love he is. I doubt she'd ever mention needs that she needs fulfilled out of fear that his beliefs would make her a naughty girl and he'd have to send her off to church for counseling.SandChigger wrote:And, like, who else thinks Nebby is in need of, like, a serious shtooping?

He probably wouldn't want to plunge into the delta of venus, and as for her giving him head, I can't imagine that would happen. He probably thinks that would be "spilling his seed on the ground", and a definite no-no.SandChigger wrote:![]()

I bet they laugh about the time when they were really daring and had sex in broad daylight with the curtains closed one time, or the time they shagged in their car whilst it was still in the garage.
As for that monkey story, Nebby's dad was bitten by an orangutan just before Christmas.

I completely agree with your "spilling the seed" analysis. I'll bet that he takes out his horrible guilt for masturbation out on his wife and thinks she's even naughtier than he is. He must have a certain amount of comtempt for her. He probably thinks that he saved her from a life of sin somehow.chanilover wrote:He probably wouldn't want to plunge into the delta of venus, and as for her giving him head, I can't imagine that would happen.

When we were on DN he went by the handle William Smitts. Hes a morally uptight rube who posts on DN and Arrakeen. He writes probably the second worst fanfic, after suicide-boy Seru King, and has a serious stick up his ass about the BG. He was fun for a time, but now hes pretty boring. Although he seems to hate SC now, and watching him get his panties in a wad over what SC says can give a few moments of entertainement.GamePlayer wrote:Who's Nebby?

Oh, I remember that guy! He was on Arrakeen talking all this shit about the Bene Gesserit. Yeah, he did have something up his ass. He was "trying" to present his arguments against the BG as some high moral stance and all that resulted was giving everyone the impression he was a male chauvinist. I can remember all kinds of crap he posted in that thread on Arrakeen and as I was reading I'd be shaking my head, saying to myself; "No, that's wrong. Nope, that's bollocks. Where the hell did he get that from? No, that's more BS. Ah, to hell with it, I'm done reading this tripe."
That creep is married? Gawd, where the hell did he find a woman that would tolerate his sickening misogyny?![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon/eek.gif)

Straight women have much lower standards than gay guys. When it comes to settling down with your partner, women will put up with all sorts of shit. Gay guys have a shopping list of do's and don'ts as long as your arm.Freakzilla wrote:I think it was Carlos Mencia I heard say that people don't get married out of love, they settle for someone who will put up with their crap.

Back to topic,
Ugh, I just checked and I have access. But what a shitty site it feels like now. I did my changes, and thought for a moment about sending Hymaintenance a PM that said "Wow, you really did a great job fucking this place up," but she isn't worth the time.

I think I found a handful of new messages. Looks like Freak and Chig are the only ones over there (besides Hymaintenance and troll) who are posting.

I completely deleted Arrakeen off of my header of daily sites to visit. Every time I go I feel dirty afterwards. What a dump. It just looks like dirt.

arnoldo is trolling again? What a bore.
And I got the old Dune Dud to engage me in an e-mail about him abandoning threads mid-way through an argument. He did it to me again there.

Cheers, wink wink.
I guess I'm going to take my "blinders" off and go see what's up at Arrakeen. (Didn't wake the computer last night after I got home, and I'm just hooking up the coffee IV, so I haven't been back since the "chain" comment to Hyppo yesterday evening. No doubt I'll have a PM waiting for me. Her and her PMS...er, I mean, PMs.)
Addendum:
Well, that wasn't worth the effort.
Surprisingly, no PMs!

I admit, I wasn't at Arrakeen long enough to get myself worked up over it's imminent demise, but I was really disappointed with the total denial that there was a problem. It didn't take any amount of intelligence to figure out the forum was in trouble. Almost from the day I joined I could tell the forum needed help.
But few seemed to acknowledge these problems and I got the general impression most were writing off complaints as nonsense, particularly Hyppo. She seemed totally oblivious to everything and when I'd post concerns, she'd give the internet equivalent of a blank stare. She'd ask I fully explain my concerns, as if she had no clue or as though my original posts were somehow indecipherable. Then I'd spend an hour writing a 1,500 word essay at a grade 5 level to help explain only for the whole post to be ignored.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. By the time arnoldo had been invited and/or permitted to join, the writing was on the wall. A pity for certain, the forum could have been fun.

A question for Freak & Crys: Is she running any of this stuff past you guys or anyone or just doing it all on her own?
Have you asked her about any of it? (Putting troll on the "bad word" list was completely uncalled for IMO.)
If not, are you hesitant to cross her out of concern that she might threaten to quit, leaving more admin shtuff for others to do?
Just wondering.
(Also, can one of you open the board back up to the public. If you google Arrakeen now, the result reads:

I've been in Ft. Myers for the past few days, this is all news to me.Have you asked her about any of it? (Putting troll on the "bad word" list was completely uncalled for IMO.)
When she does ask I honelstly tell her what I think. I'm not worried about it anymore really. She and arnoldo can have it. I can figure out how to approve new members and stuff like that, what the place needs is a search feature and a new skin that isn't baby shit brown. She keeps saying that she's working on it but...If not, are you hesitant to cross her out of concern that she might threaten to quit, leaving more admin shtuff for others to do?
I'm sure I could figure it out. But why bother. I say let it die. I'll get back to this later, I just got back in town and have to do a little work.Just wondering.

Let Arrakeen die Freak??? Are you actually that fed up? I guess I'm just surprised because you have been somewhat neutral about it all (although, I'm certain you have had strong opinions in PMs and the like).
Is there any reason why we aren't summarizing all of our complaints and sending it in an email to Baron? Asking him to remove her as admin (or downgrade her or something) seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to attempt, and he is the site owner, correct?

Believe me, there is discussion between the admins there. It's gotten to where I dread going there in fear of seeing who called who what name or some other such nonsense.I guess I'm just surprised because you have been somewhat neutral about it all (although, I'm certain you have had strong opinions in PMs and the like).
I was going to email him just to make sure he's aware of what's going on but if y'all would like to compile a list of grievances I'll try to make sure he gets it. That would save me some time.Is there any reason why we aren't summarizing all of our complaints and sending it in an email to Baron?

I have enough drama in my life, I don't need that crap. I've been busy with work and family lately and not been able to put much time into Arrakeen. But things won't always be that way.

Well, she's deleted several of my comments, calling them "spam", and sent me one of her PMS. I considered emailing Baron when I was on my rampage last night, but figured if he's too busy to be active, he's probably not terribly concerned, so why bother him.
I'm sure there's a lot there that's interesting that I haven't come across yet (but good luck finding it!), but if participating there means having to deal with Her Highness The Regent, I think I'll pass from now on.

I don't know if she doesn't realize or doesn't give a fuck.
A few complaints I have include:
Making the word "troll" spam is just ridiculous.
Locking down threads because she didn't like the discussion is out-of-line as well IMHO.
Telling people to be nice and then running around and posting "snarky" (I hate that fucking word BTW) comments--IOW, the "are you wearing the admin hate or not" complaint.
Telling people not to post anything about 'Keen elsewhere but railing on dunenovels is a huge double standard.
Banning chanilover and Omphalos (while letting that pathetic little troll arnie continue).
Deleting posts.
Deleting the banner that Omphalos had the 36,000 post cuz she was angry that day.
Those are just a few of the complaints I have.....

After she called Nebiros' and my comments "spam" last night, I got pissed and replied, so she deleted my two comments and hers between them.
I forgot to thank you, Freak, for responding to my questions earlier; sorry. Re this, though:

I'll let Crys speak for himself. I've said far too much on the topic as it is and I'm sure it will only cause me more drama.Tleilax Master B wrote:Surely Crysknife is siding with you Freak; I just can't see him agreeing with her.....

For the record, I think Freak and I are squarely on the same side. I can't stand Hyp anymore. Freak and I have had a few conversations about her going back at least a year.Tleilax Master B wrote:Surely Crysknife is siding with you Freak; I just can't see him agreeing with her.....
In my own case, about 8 months ago I requested to be demoted to a mod position(or regular member) so I didn't have to deal with her crap anymore, but I was talked out of it. I just see her as the senior Admin, but that doesn't mean I agree with her. I've voiced my concerns with her but nothing seems to sink into her thick head. I know who she is in RL, and I think she has nothing better to do.
I've sent emails to Baron without any response, so he's either given up, never checks his emails, or he's dead, who knows? The only other options are to take the board by force, or ask Hyp to step down. I just haven't made a decision yet, if I even want to. I'm not to the point of letting it die, but I'm close.

Add this to the smilies at that dump -
![Image](http://i29.tinypic.com/34e2lnd.gif)
If you're compiling a shitlist, you can add -
- refusing to acknowledge the difference between her opinion and fact
- goading me into arguing with her and switching off my account after I said I wasn't interested in her site. It's probably classed as the online version of constructive dismissal
- lying to me about a complaint she claimed to have received which she didn't
- being an arsehole
- refusing to discuss her deletion of a link to another site which she deemed was inappropriate which was a UK TV station. It would be the equivalent of deleting a link to CBS because of "inappropriate content"
- refusing to apologise for a stupid gay comment she made
She should be banned, just like she was banned from here. She thrives on her online dramatics, though. I think the most humane thing would be to allow her to shrivel away in her dead forum, along with her pet IRWIN Arnoloco.

She attempted to ban trolling on the boards by actually banning the word "troll"? That has to be the most naive thing I've ever heard an "adult" do. SHe might as well have put up a banner at the top of the website saying "Please do not troll the boards" for all the good that rule will do.

You know, for someone who probably has a pink haired troll on the end of every pencil she owns, you think her mind would be more open to the use of that word.

Uh-oh...mail just came in and I've got a PM on 'Keen from you-know-who, entitled "DYOR".
Obviously something about my response to her question about US draft candidates.
(I mean, like, google once in a while for fook's sake.)
Seriously, I took it as an attempt to engage The Irwin in a public exchange-of-info dialogue, so later she can say (like Byron), "Ooh, but look how helpful he is!"
Anyway, I'm off now to see what's up over there. Wish me luck!![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon/razz.gif)

^^^ I'm glad I hadn't just taken a drink and had a mouthful when I saw that.
Um...no. We've actually been civil (sort of) today.
I take it she hasn't been to Hoary Tales or peeked here yet.
Since she's also on Hoary Tales, it would be REALLY funny if she decides to strike back at Bijaz...and you after you repost your oevre there.

Who is even on that website to bully and abuse? arnoldo? Who cares if he's abused and bullied? He's a troll that inflicts the same upon everyone else via different methods. I guess window dressing counts for everything when the site admin is a brainless bint.

Arnoldo is her pet project now, it seems. She wants to reform him.
He's really trying harder now to fit in, yet all we do is greet his every effort with abuse and insults.
I came up with a list of four people that I have devoted special attention to: Byron, Arnoldo, Nebiros, and Martian Bob. I told her that none of them are at Arrakeen because they wish the site well, especially the first two.
The only other person I can remember being less than pleasant to was ARCH back a few months ago when she was whining on and on about her language and culture being endangered. I realize the people there have been through hell and back, but her post read, to me, like she was thinking of giving up on everything. To be blunt about it, she reminded me of SeruK anus when he was doing his suicide routine. So I kinda told her to lay down and die or do something to preserve what she thought was being lost. (I think I suggested making babies.) That got a PM from her Highness as well.
At this point, I'm not particularly bothered either way. I haven't put in as much time over on Arrakeen as I did on DN. Getting kicked off a sinking ship could actually be viewed as a kindness almost.
But you gotta love her new avatar, no? To die for.

So, the Baron has given Hyp my last email(not in Hyp's favor to be sure
), and she has proceeded to tell me she is taking away my Admin status, so at least we know who the Baron is backing. Freak, you might want to hold off on that email.

Wow, the fucking site sank, it's in pieces and lead weights are falling upon the debris, but she wants to reform arnoldo. It's like tragic comedy over there.
I don't visit Arrakeen SC. You'll have to describe the avatar or post a picture.

So, I just found out that the Baron didn't give her my message, she opened it up herself from inside the Admin board. Let me make this clear, she opened up a clearly PERSONAL email without permission. Well that's my fault for emailing(not PM) through the board, but she shouldn't have opened it. FUCK!

Here's her latest:
Anyway, Hyppo, I have no idea why you think I want to trash Arrakeen. But by all means return it to the peaceful admin paradise it used to be, with 13athroom posting fascinating pics of aquarium worms and ARCH windging about how she hates English and the American influence, blah blah blah. And especially have fun with Byron and crazy-ass Bob (if he ever finds the balls to show up again). And good luck with your pet project of reforming "The Irwin".
I've cleaned out my PM boxes, so you can delete my account anytime. Knock yourself out.
So, she's obviously denying having opened your mail, Crys. Have you heard anything at all from Baron? Could he have forwarded it to her?Re:Out of control admins, Jan 27 2008, 01:53 PM
Crysknife himself said he no longer wanted to be an admin. I have not seen anybody else's PMs but those I wrote, those written to me, or those forwarded to me.I'd much rather hear about an admin who opens up PMs and mail addressed to others.Anyway, some time I'll tell you about a forum where the admin is so paranoid that he won't even let the members use the PM system or post links to offboard sites
Is it true? What possible justification could there be for an act like that?
Really? Did you consult with Baron or anyone else on demoting Crysknife? What was the reason for the demotion?And finally, yes, I do consult the other Staff regarding punishments.
As for the rest... I expected Crysknife wouldn't be able to keep from telling you. But when Staff members make threats to hijack the board away from other Staff (specifically the Staff member who actually does most of the work), that justifies taking steps to know what is going on. And Baron has been informed -- by me.
Don't get so high-horse, SandChigger. I am aware of everything that's publicly readable at Omphalos' forum and I have seen Bijaz' garbage at your 'hoary tales' blog. I know about the talk of 'can't Crysknife and Freakzilla just take the board away from me, or talk Baron into kicking me out...' The support forums are full of stories similar to this, where some members have turned against other members, the Staff get involved, and next thing you know, the board is trashed. Well, I have no intention of allowing that to happen here. You have your places where you can do what you want, insult and attack people, post all kinds of profanity and gutter filth. Why do you feel the need to turn Arrakeen into that kind of place as well?

Yeah, she only told me AFTER I mentioned that she should tell Baron to kiss my ass for handing out private emails(something Hyp has gotten mad at when others do it to her). I told her I would tell Baron that personaly. She then told me she opened the email on her own. I told her that I hope she respects other people in the future.So, she's obviously denying having opened your mail, Crys. Have you heard anything at all from Baron? Could he have forwarded it to her?
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon/lol.gif)
When is Hyp ever wrong?
BTW Hyp, you can do all the work you want on a board, but if you're a total tyrant, none of that work matters. You jump on everything! It amazes me that you have enough time in the day to reply to so many mundane and petty offenses.
Were you smacked in the hands with yard sticks as a kid if your poems didn't rhyme?
Jeez...

The crazy bitch has temporarily banned me again, until February 25th. Who the fuck does she think she is kidding? The ONLY reason I went back was to fling muck. And the last time I went, the following thread was taken down, I suspect before Hymaintenance could see it. Well....let's just let it serve as an:
OPEN LETTER TO ARRAKEEN:
Dear Crazy woman:
Well, you have finally managed to ostracize almost everyone who supported you at all. I admit that I wanted to rock you boat and watch you fall in to an enormous puddle of poo and drown in it. But I also tried to restrain myself out of respect for others who had to put up with your crap. Now that you seem to violate the trusts of those who really have done nothing at all to you, I really care not a whit. So, you and I traded messages a bit a few days ago. Here is the last post I put up. I suspect you never saw it. Please, please, please, ban me you crazy cunt. If you don't, I will be back on the 25th, and you will not like me being there.

Congratulations, Hyppo. You single-handedly managed to save this place from people like me. Just as an aside, are you enjoying the conversation now?
BTW, I reported a thread a few weeks ago, but never heard back about what was to be done with the violator. Any news on that?
Hello?
Hello?
Anybody here?
Guess not!
Then by all means, I shall inject some hopping.
(OK, OK! I put that one in! Don't you just love it?)
I enjoy conversations that I find interesting and that don't require moderating due to spam and flaming.
It's not usual custom to report back on decisions taken about reported threads. However, if you're still upset about it, feel free to report it again.
BTW. There you go, crazy cat lady, promising to do something about threads that get reported, then changing your mind when the wind blows a different direction.
Can you answer me a question honestly? All kidding and ribbing and jibes aside, I really would like a direct answer. Yes or no, are you proud that you have killed this website?
And if you are so inclined, do you enjoy the fact that not even the other admins defend you? That you and arnoldo are on your own here?
Because I cant imagine that there is too much to do up in Red Deer in the winter. Besides, of course, argue with the Canadian government about how they are now responsible for your dear old dad, and you no longer are. You must be a strong person to have that argument with the mighty government. Anyway, I can only imagine that you are trying to make this place as desolate and bleak as your own physical surroundings. Or perhaps just like how you really feel inside, as a person and all?
Anyway, good luck. Ive noticed in the past that it really takes quite a bit of concentrated effort to really kill an interesting web site. Congratulations on your efforts being realized. Ill check in from time to time to see how the death throes are going. Hey, maybe I will come join some of your other forums? Dont you have ones for unicorns and those little "Irwins" with a shock of pink hair that go on the ends of pencils? Watch for me!

So she lied to Chig, then admitted it to you? What a commendable way of handling it. Well....I guess that we already knew that she was a liar after she said that people had been complaining about CL's sig.Crysknife wrote:Yeah, she only told me AFTER I mentioned that she should tell Baron to kiss my ass for handing out private emails(something Hyp has gotten mad at when others do it to her). I told her I would tell Baron that personaly. She then told me she opened the email on her own. I told her that I hope she respects other people in the future.

When is Hyp ever wrong?

I told you all along that she was lurking on here, because if one thing is clear, she has no life whatsoever.
Still, the avatar is a glorious piece of kitsch. Is that how she sees herself in her deranged mind? Fancy alienating the site's most active and Dune-savvy members, because they didn't play the way she wants to.
Retarded fucking hick. You're bound to be reading this, I wrote some fanfic called The Box which is here in the Book Reviews or Fiction Link section - could you check it for spelling and grammar mistakes, please? As for describing the piece on SC's blog as 'gutter', I think 'gutter' is probably a more accurate description of your morals. Liar.
So now Arrakeen is to be only filled with people who meet your approval and who share your interests and approach to discussions. I.E, no one. A bit like real life. Who the fuck is ARCH anyway?

Just to be accurate, I think I misread this (the bold part) earlier:
Still, making noises about something on another site (venting, male thang) and actually trying to stage a coup are two different things, if you ask me.
When you think about it, she has taken punitive action against Crys (and in a way, Omph) for something said on another site.
HOW VERY BYRON OF HER. How very hypocritical, after all that righteous indignation (just posturing, after all?) back in August over the DN rules and banning people over things they post on other sites. I guess things are different when it's your own prerogatives that are endangered, huh.
So she was admitting that she had read the mail and reported it to Baron herself.As for the rest... I expected Crysknife wouldn't be able to keep from telling you. But when Staff members make threats to hijack the board away from other Staff (specifically the Staff member who actually does most of the work), that justifies taking steps to know what is going on. And Baron has been informed -- by me.

She has turned up at Worm's SF Haven again. No doubt to present herself as a target to make me look like a tool when I attack her.

And what's all this shit about a coup at Arrakeen? It's not her site, she's just admin like Freakzilla and formerly, Crysknife. This sorry little episode on that festering TUMOUR of a site is like a company where two managers feel another manager is having a destructive effect on the business and try to report it to their superiors, but the destructive HICK manager intercepts and hijacks their attempt to have her removed. For all her preaching at other people for their "sickening" and "disgusting" words and behaviour, this cunt has the morals of an alley cat. Lying toady, crawling to her boss at Arrakeen. What a snivelling arselicker.
![Image](http://i30.tinypic.com/23r7os3.jpg)
Well.. so far she isn't causing any trouble there. I have no idea if she has private conversations with Worm though. I think he'd probably choose to stay out of any problems with other boards. We didn't even want to get involved with the DN problems.
On a side note.. if you don't feel like your emails from Arrakeen are getting through to Baron because of Hyp's interference you can use the email feature through Haven
KillerMouse.. I guarantee your communications won't be tampered with or read by anyone but yourself and the person you send it to.

What? She was a member here for crying out loud. She even showed up and was supposed to interact normally, that is until she got herself banned. When she arrived, no one here did a 180 under some false pretense. No one changed their opinions just because she showed her face. Ergo, no member here was the least bit guilty about what they had said of her, because (surprise, surprise) it was all true. And up until she was banned, everyone here appeared willing to accommodate her, myself included.chanilover wrote:I liked the bit where she dramatically announced that she is aware of what is being discussed here, like she's caught us out.
What a total head case. It's rare to encounter someone so completely removed from common sense. She is actually under the delusion some organized uprising exists and that Arrakeen is being attacked by a terrorist insurgency of former DN alumni.
Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I can speak for myself; get a fucking clue Hyppo. I left because your website was dead, it was organized like a junk drawer and your heavy-handed moderation polices sucked.
No other reason
That's it
Game over
End of line
Grow the fuck up.

I think it's kinda weird that she suddenly showed up at Haven, and I'll be keeping an eye on her.

I really think you guys could make the best Dune website.. out of all the Dune fanatics online you all have the best senses of humor and the most knowledge about the books. I've lurked at several of the existing forums and none of them are that great. I wonder what it is about Dune that attracts the fruitcakes? I don't know shit about the technical side of running a site, so I can be pretty forgiving of crappy software, but I hate goderators. Anyway I hope you guys carry on the spirit of Arrakeen somewhere.
In the meantime I think everyone who still isn't banned should use this picture as an avatar,

Well...I still haven't been deleted, it seems.
Just peeked in and she's making mouthnoises about changing the skin.
Basically the same ole song and dance as for the last year or more, no?
Fuck the skin and smileys. Get the board moved to a software installation that WORKS first and then worry about the layout and all that stuff.

I have no intention of joining more forums Mandy. My post was mostly to communicate the point to a known lurker.
As for Arrakeen, I've left. With the exception of responding to Ompf's private message, I haven't been back there since my final post sometime in November I believe it was. I will not be going back and I encourage others who have had enough to do the same. Trust me, you'll feel better leaving that moron and her website in the gutter she has dug for it.

Can I just ask, why do you guys bother going back? Do you honestly think you're missing anything? After being banned and reading this thread, all I seem to be missing are the ramblings of Irwin and the demented rantings of The Hick. The forum is a flop, and you're all just prolonging the misery. As Gameplayer says, just leave the dumb twat to fester in the mess she's made of that dead failure of a forum. Going back just to expose yourself to that pair of cunts surely can't be worth it.
![Image](http://i30.tinypic.com/23r7os3.jpg)
I'm going to continue lurking and occasionally posting at Arrakeen for a couple of simple reasons.
I mean, you never know, something interesting might happen. And I need somewhere to go for a couple more minutes a day before I start clicking the StumbleUpon icon in boredom.

I'd have to agree with chanilover. In fact, it's all a little concerning, if you ask me. I'm getting the impression the Almost Undeleted is more a bitch club than a real forum. We, myself included, are spending far too much time discussing Arrakeen. I mean, how many of us are still frequenting Dunenovels and Arrakeen? Yes, you don't have to remind me I don't frequent either website, but I'm just trying to make a point using "we" to avoid being too pointed (punny).
We all "leave" Dunenovels to complain about it on Arrakeen
We all "leave" Arrakeen to complain about it on Almost Undeleted
Anyone else sensing a pattern here? Are we going to actually treat this place like a real forum, or is this just a clubhouse to discuss the "DN/Arrakeen/Dune fandom" drama amongst cohorts? I just got through telling our favorite lurker to grow the fuck up. Maybe I should be taking my own advice.

I don't have any reason to go over there. I joined in the first place because lurking at DN wasn't fun any more after some of my favorite posters were banned.. couldn't just lurk at Arrakeen because it's blocked unless you join. Now that all my favorite DN posters post here I can forget about it.
I'm sure all this will pass.. everyone just has a lot of bullshit to get off their chests. Besides a little internet drama is fun.

Bloody hell, another admin is trying to destroy a good dune forum again. What is it with people like Hymaintenance and Byron? It must be a power complex and they can't stand the thought of losing any of it. Yeah, yeah, I know you are reading this Hyppo, and I've complained publicly about your nazi, heavy-handed moderating. 'Keen is NOT your forum, contrary to your belief. If you trick Baron into siding with you, more power to you, but the forum will just dwindle away into obscurity. Why not step down and just enjoy being a member for awhile and turn over your duties to Freak and Crys? Why don't you post a poll or ask for people to to PM you if they want you to step down and we let the masses decide?
I for one would gladly migrate to a Freakzilla or Crysknife started forum. If you guys want me there, don't hesitate to PM or email or post a link here and I will jump ship immediately......

I could set up a user group where all the newbies get funnelled to join the fray, but only those 20 or so of us who are here now have access to these parts of the forums.
I think I would have to change the name of the fourm again too, so people who stumble across it in a google result know what it is.
I really like the idea of having it here, but at the same time, there is a big chance of this place changing in character if I open it up for just any old scallywag to join. I personally LOVE this place the way it is now, so if this is gonna happen, Id want to think of some way to protect this.
Of course, if we set up a new forum for FH and Dune, then I can keep this one locked down for the OH and we can discuss all the weird little preeks here.![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon/twisted.gif)
Also, there is a certain pride in ownership, as they say. Maybe if a bunch of us are gonna band together to get this done, we should set up a new forum so that not just I own it. Something to think about.

I got the impression that this was more of a general sci-fi forum or I wouldn't even have thought about starting my own, much less mentioning it here.
I too like it the way it is here now, it's got a "invitation only" feel and I'd hate to lose that.
I was kicking around the name "Jacurutu".

I guess I understand. Perhaps it's just me who needs to adjust.
I don't usually hang around for all the bad stuff anymore. I've been doing the message board thing since I first got on the internet in the late 90s. I've already been through the great dramas and board armageddons, the bannings and trolls and the facist moderator regimes. I guess I've just been there and done that and really just want a place to post about random shit. The drama gets boring when it's the 100th message board that you've been through.
Well, if you guys start up a new board, definitely don't be shy about it. I'll join up and help get conversation going, if I'm still around.

All these ideas sound great. I'm with B on this one. It is rather nice to debate against the other side so I think there should be an open Dune forum for all people to join, be it here or another forum.
I also like the idea of a closed off area to discuss the little Preeks
.
I'm also tired of board jumping and would like to find a place like the Dreamers of Dune board used to be, and I'll help anyway I can.

I really don't think the internet needs yet another Dune forum, it's already stretched too thin. What is needed is a Dune forum which treats its members like adults, rather than naughty little children.
I realy think this place should be it. Open it up but, like Omfartlos said, restrict access to certain parts of it to the invitation-only crew, with the riff-raff only having access to the rest of the forum. The name really should be Jacurutu. I'm sure plenty of Dune fans look that name up on Google to work out what it means. Arrakeen has been killed off by the Hick, this place is perfect to take over. Fuck it, why don't you guys just copy some of the threads from Arrakeen and move them here once you've set up the riff-raff section to get things going. You already have the most active and knowledgeable Dune posters here, and me.

I'm waaaaay ahead of you on that last one CL. I'll be happy to copy some of the old, interesting threads over to whatever new forum we establish.
Sounds like we have a good start on a plan. If we do it here, I really like the idea of the select usergroups with different permissions. Keep sections as selective members only, and then others that are open and free for discussion.
Jacurutu sounds like a great name too! And it should be substantially less censored than the "other" forums.
I would be interested in being an admin or moderator also. I've never done it, but I'm certain I could get up to speed pretty quickly.

Go for it. I posted a reply on the Jacurutu thread before reading this one. Count me in, whether you do it here or on a new domain/elsewhere. (And by "count" you can assume the obviou$.

Freak wants to do his own forum, and I completely understand the rush and excitement from setting one up. I am a little worried that this place will die down a little bit once Freak really gets going, though. But I can understand him wanting something all his own that he alone owns. Plus, he really is the guy to do it. And I cannot imagine a stabler person to be in charge.
Knowledge + stability = longevity, which is the one thing that all Dune forums to date have completely lacked.

You deleted his comment, which suggested you be removed as admin.
At least have the integrity to admit it.
So much for free and open discussion on Arrakeen.
Please, delete my account. I'm through with this bulls**t site.

But do we really do that much Dune discussion here apart from related internet drama? We could encourage the non-Dune discussion to go here somehow. I really don't want to cause this place to die down. I think this would still be a great club house for the OHs and friends.
I just want a dedicated Dune forum where you aren't censored beyond reason, plus I've always wanted to do one myself to enhance my personal Dune knowledge.

You know though, Ive played with the idea of putting up more Dune content for two months now, and did not do it because 1) I wanted somehting more general; and 2) I was sure someone else was going to do it, cause Keen and DN just were not cutting the mustard. I kind of expected this, and I think its a great idea.

Do I really want to go back just to read it?

Why do you people want yet another Dune forum when you've already got one here? I can't be arsed checking out two or three Dune sites when it can all be here under one roof. Just build on this site, and have different forums for different sci fi stuff, one for Dune and other for whatever other geeky shit people are into.
Anyway, this online drama is good for a cheap laugh. Do you think all the emotional rush the Hick feels when she's banning and suspending people is the closest she's got to an orgasm in the last decade?

Some people are so easy to provoke. ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
The Regent has already responded to a post I put on my blog earlier today.
I guess that PM was to inform me I'd been put on moderation. I told her (again) to delete my account. I guess she missed where I posted the request here.
Ah...that's better.
OK. I'm ready to get back to Dune.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)
(One point she did bring up does bother me: Are people still having trouble reading the blog? I tweeked the CSS back in August, but no one else had complained since, so I just figured it was OK. I'll check it out on some Windows machines from uni tomorrow, but if people using Exploder and Firefox on Windows, especially the new system (what was it, Vista?) could let me know if it's readable or not, I'd appreciate it!)

I guess that PM was to inform me I'd been put on moderation. I told her (again) to delete my account. I guess she missed where I posted the request here.
Ah...that's better.
OK. I'm ready to get back to Dune.

(One point she did bring up does bother me: Are people still having trouble reading the blog? I tweeked the CSS back in August, but no one else had complained since, so I just figured it was OK. I'll check it out on some Windows machines from uni tomorrow, but if people using Exploder and Firefox on Windows, especially the new system (what was it, Vista?) could let me know if it's readable or not, I'd appreciate it!)

Didn't she go on an anti-technology rant for a while, something about how she had to get a new computer and upgrade to XP?Freakzilla wrote:She's using Windows 98 I believe, so I wouldn't doubt she's using an old version of FF.

She's also ranting on SC's blog this morning about how she has no resources to fix the problems over at Arrakeen. Its not like several of us didnt offer her money to fix these things? I think I even offered once to send her a new monitor I have lying around.Phaedrus wrote:Didn't she go on an anti-technology rant for a while, something about how she had to get a new computer and upgrade to XP?Freakzilla wrote:She's using Windows 98 I believe, so I wouldn't doubt she's using an old version of FF.

Whew...that's a load off my mind.
Yellow Birdie...you're here!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)
(Sorry, Sparafucile, some jokes I just can't let go of.
)
Actually, after she posted that, I went back through the comments and found yours back in August, with the link to the image you uploaded showing what you saw. (I was suprised to see that the image is still there, btw!) I checked the CSS file on my PB and saw that I last edited it on August 7th, the same day as your comment.
Had me worried! It looks fine on all my computers, so I kinda forgot about it.![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon/sad.gif)
Anyway...
I'd like to thank y'all for jumping in on the comment thread while I was otherwise occupied this evening. I was playing over on MySpace, discussing the GP with Oyabun Nicodemus. I didn't figure she'd come back with such a vengence.
Anyway, I'm pretty much done with this topic. Time to get back to Dune!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)

I'm convinced that Hyppo is totally insane and power-thirsty. I think I'm going to ask that my account be closed. No point in sitting around waiting for something to happen that won't, and no point in creating useless drama for her to moderate to hell and back.

Actually, you might not need Almost Undeleted. I belong to a message board that has private subforms achieved via a feature called "usergroups." Members of the usergroup don't have any special options other than access to a special subforum. The subforum is private and what is written within cannot be seen by other members nor can it be found on the internet search engines. The entire message board can be public with free access even to non-members, but that one subforum for a specified "usergroup" can be exclusive and private.
I've been part of the usergroup for years and it functions quite well. It acts as a guys/gals club, where a select group can discuss and fight with each other about board issues without dragging larger groups into a bigger conflict. It's actually functions very well and is a great stress reliever for members that want to get stuff off their chests.
EDIT This message board I refer to is a phpBB system.

Dont you want them to come together? You probably wont have too much debate if you dont allow that.Freakzilla wrote:I was thinking of using the usergroups, specifically to segregate the OH and Preeks.
I suggested that at DN a long time ago.
Or are you talking about restricting preeks to one area, but giving OH the ability to jump from one side to another? That may turn off some preeks who feel restricted and bound.

I was thinking of having a forum open to both too. One thing I really hated about DN is that even though there are seperate forums for the classics and the new books, you couldn't ever discuss one purely without someone from the other group coming in and saying, "nu-uh, that's not what the new books say."

OK, so some forums open to all, some open to preeks only, and some open to OH only? Three sections? That may work.

But Ill be it will really piss her ass off if nobody at all responds to anything that she says over there. I do believe that she is stirring the pot for personal gratification/attention.

She was insisting on SC's blog that we never offered any help or money for moving 'keen to better boardware. So I went to 'keen and found the specific posts where we did in fact offer and pointed it out to her there and at SC's blog. So she did a half-hearted apology for forgetting we had made that effort.Freakzilla wrote:Apologized for what?Tleilax Master B wrote:She apologized after I pointed it out on 'Keen.

I never asked to be an admin, I always wanted to be...
A LUMBERJACK!
Seriously though, they asked me to do it. I tried to make it clear that I'd only been a moderator before (at www.americasarmy.com) and I'd never been an admin, so if they wanted me to do anything I just needed a little instruction. But all I got was bitching about how me and Crys didn't do anything. AFAIK, he even asked to be demoted to moderator. I asked for a to-do list and she basically called me a baby.
I don't need to go to the internet for that, I can get that kind of abuse at home.
If I'm going to spen the time to teach myself how to admin, I may as well do it on my own forum.

What a retard, calling Mandy's fanfic crappy. She was probably so excited with finding out who Mandy was and trying (and failing miserably as she is too thick to recognise parody) to insult Mandy's writing. I'm sure she told her cats all about it.

I'm not sure where she came from, I don't really remember her being much part of any Dune conversation at DoD. But I tend not to remember the off topic stuff.Crysknife wrote:I don't know where the hell she's from. I don't remember her at DoD, but Freak might have a better idea.

Well, I've gotten it out of my system and I'm ready to move on.
Phaedrus and Teg have joined the Concordance Project, I've got to get on the Science of Dune book, the "ghosts in the machine" are stirring again, and I'm detecting a slight disturbance in the Force that always means Kevin is about to post another stupid blog any time now. I'm good.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)

What a retard, calling Mandy's fanfic crappy. She was probably so excited with finding out who Mandy was and trying (and failing miserably as she is too thick to recognise parody) to insult Mandy's writing. I'm sure she told her cats all about it.

IIRC she initially denied reading the email. Its pretty pathetic, and there is absolutely no question its crossing the line. Sorry, but asking an owner to make a change at admin is NOT "hijacking" a site.Mandy wrote:It's not a crime to write a crappy fanfic!

There are so many other flaws I have as a moderator.. it's funny that she jumped on the fanfic, she could have easily found out that I tend to argue with people when I should bite my tongue, and whatever else I do that I probably shouldn't.. at least when people get pissed with me I don't put them on moderation, and I have NEVER used bold red font to indicate I'm wearing a mod hat!!

I sure won't defend that hag, but I will say that most fan fiction is awful. I haven't read your fanfic Mandy, but as a rule, I generally avoid it unless it's comedy ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon/smile.gif)

Hyppo is such a fucking liar. She's crawling all over SC's blog still, demented old turd. She'll never leave it, she'll just keep coming back so she can have the last word. Her poor cats must be sick to death of hearing her telling them all about the day's excitement on the internet. I've just exposed another of her lies on SC's blog. She wouldn't recognise the truth if it came up to her and dropped down dead in the street in front of her after catching a whiff of her festering, malodorous and hirsute minge.Mandy wrote:It's not a crime to write a crappy fanfic!

He said the comments thread on the blog post were up to 80-something the last time he looked.

I had a perve around DN again the other day, ended up looking at my old "What's in a name?" thread.
Sheesh...TAZ really was a fricking PITA, wasn't he? Byron let him get away with a lot of shit. (Not that I didn't dish out my fair share as well.

I've tried coming up with a good, new name combining Sequelites and Prequelites (and sooon, Interquelites).
No joy yet.![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon/sad.gif)

So those of us who are true to his grandfather's word in an Orthodox like manner are beneath contempt, while his business partner (master, more like it) gets all the respect. Even if Anderson and his girlfriend Herbert didn't suck ass, that would be totally wrong.

RIP 'Keen. Its so fucking dead over there. I mentioned to Omph before, this is what I was hoping would happen to dunenovels when we all left, but they had enough "illiterati" to keep them going. "keen was mostly OH's, and now they are all gone. Its a sad demise; I hope Hymaintenance is happy with what she has done. I'm glad I didn't start archiving more stuff from the "official site" to there--it would have been a huge waste of my time

Dear Ann Landsraad,
I'm a parasitic bug who has this problem with a net nanny who is trolling my blog. I would prefer not to get too nasty—it's really not worth my time any longer—but she really is becoming quite obtuse.
Any advice as to how to deal with her? Thanks in advance!

Well, just so everyone knows that hasn't gotten over to SC's blog yet. It was me that posted that bogus apology under her name. I thought someone had done the same thing as Omphalos, so I figured turnabout was fair play. I've come clean over there as well.
I actually feel bad about it now after I saw Crysknife's post. I think that really pissed him off that she had apparently made a public apology but didn't have the decency to make a private apology to him.
Sorry about that Crysknife; that joke was in bad form and I didn't mean to piss you off![Embarrassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon/redface.gif)

I'm a parasitic bug who has this problem with a net nanny who is trolling my blog. I would prefer not to get too nasty—it's really not worth my time any longer—but she really is becoming quite obtuse.
Any advice as to how to deal with her? Thanks in advance!
Consternated in Carthag
Bite her on the ass. Be firm about it. Let her know that if she doesn't stop you are going to bite her on the ass again. If her ass is too obtuse or she's too obtuse to understand she's being bitten on the ass, try net nanny software.
Narf!

Ah! I figured it was her being smarmy and baiting us. You damn dirty BT! I actually thought twice about posting her words again, but I was in one of her...I mean, MY moods! Sorry for getting that particular ball rolling.Tleilax Master B wrote:Well, just so everyone knows that hasn't gotten over to SC's blog yet. It was me that posted that bogus apology under her name. I thought someone had done the same thing as Omphalos, so I figured turnabout was fair play. I've come clean over there as well.
I actually feel bad about it now after I saw Crysknife's post. I think that really pissed him off that she had apparently made a public apology but didn't have the decency to make a private apology to him.
Sorry about that Crysknife; that joke was in bad form and I didn't mean to piss you off

Being brutally honest about it, isn't that about the rate before the First Diaspora, from DN? Time was it seemed like Freak's posts to the reading group threads were about the only new ones.

I joined about six or so months before I got active there, which happened after the scattering, and I recall there being about five or so active posters. Arch. The guy with the samurai swords in his avatar. The guy with the Gunslinger sig. 13athroom, Freak, Chig and maybe one other. I don't recall it ever being that dead. Not even arnoldo posting there anymore.
But hey, I guess he got what he really wanted all along.

From years of experience I have observed that when a woman won't show you her picture there's usually a good reason.
But that's fine, I guess that's the "beauty" of the internet.

It depends on when that psychopath lets me back in. I have a feeling that she is just going to extend the suspension on the 25th and try to play some more games with me. If that's the case, then I will have to be stealthy. Ill be sure to save my activities for posterity though.Nekhrun wrote:More importantly, you can't see any new posts on Arrakeen because there haven't been any for days now.

I've already posted about this in a comment on my blog, but I went over to Arrakeen (I was still logged in!) and changed my sig to "DELETE MY ACCOUNT AND ALL MY POSTS, YOU STUPID COW!" and added Bugeyed Kitty for good measure.
Then I changed my email address (to a bogus one), which deactivated my account. The board has sent a reactivation code to the bogus address, which could have amusing repercussions. Since I'll never get the mail myself, there's no way I can ever log in again.
My Inner Brat is well pleased.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)

That's really fucked up. What if I wanted to go post something in the beer, or politics thread with Byron and arnoldo? I'm a little surprised she did that considering I've pretty much stayed out of the whole argument.

I so desperately wanted to write "its sapho juice dammit, and you call yourself a dune fan and you don't know that????"....but I resistedHm. I seem to recall from the 1984 Lynch movie that Mentats use a drug of some sort, but it's not melange. I would think they would probably use the spice if they could afford to, though, or if their employer/patron made it available. After all, spice is supposed to make one able to think faster and better and be more aware of what's going on.

Yeah, my comment wasn't meant to imply it was "necessary", just that she didn't know what the name of that "drug" was. I would have thought almost any die-hard Dune fan would know that immediately.Freakzilla wrote:SAPHO: high-energy liquid extracted from barrier roots of Ecaz. Commonly used by

I don't think it's "neccessary", it just helps.

I remember Hyppo writing once that as long as people followed the rules over there that there wouldn't be any problems. They could say whatever they wanted elsewhere (Chig's blog) and it was fine because they weren't breaking any invisionfree rules. Now my account is apparently suspended with no warning, PM, or email. I guess she lied about that too.

I just received an email informing me that I had a new PM over on Worm's site. So I went over and logged in and...guess who it was from!
Here's my reply:From: Hyppo
To: SandChigger
Posted: Mon Feb 18, 08 1:30 am
Subject: Real cute. Only, not.
So what did I say that made you decide to go back on your word to not moderate or censor people who post on your blog? I'd say getting a redirect back to Arrakeen is definitely a form of both. Or is this payback for Nekhrun? I PM'd him at Arrakeen to explain what happened. He hasn't been suspended.
I've posted other things on your blog that have nothing to do with this feud, and everything to do with supporting the Orthodox Herbertarian side. I have no idea why some are now calling me a "preek" (it's pretty childish, in my opinion) -- I remain as disdainful of the KJA/BH books as I ever was. Or is that I post civilly with the non-OH people, period? That's so much elementary schoolgirlish peer pressure crap, SandChigger. I'd thought you were smarter than that. But it appears I was wrong...

Hi, Worm.
I assume you haven't been following our Internet drama over on Arrakeen and my blog and that, even if you've heard about it from Ninti/Mandy or someone else, you don't want to get involved. I personally have no intention of bringing it here. Obviously others do not feel the same:
I have not PMed her or harassed her in any form here on your board. She has my email address and had no need of using the PM system here. I'd appreciate it if you could gently reminds her that "what happens in Fight Club stays in fight club"...or should at least. I have no intention of replying to her here.Hyppo wrote:

Like I told him, she has my email address (unless she fumble-finger lost it or deleted my mail), so PMing me over there wasn't her only means of contacting me.
Besides, the "ban" isn't permanent...although this doesn't exactly well dispose me toward the early lifting of it I was considering....

So, this is what you meant! I PM'ed Worm the day she started posting at the Haven again. He was grateful for the heads up, I think, and was happy when I told him I have no intention of engaging her at all there. I think he was a little shocked that she had gone so insane so quickly. But you did the right thing.

We flew in this morning. As I'm saving my holiday allowance in work, I've come into work after not sleeping for over a day and I feel like a zombie.
The holiday was amazing, I can't believe it's over. I avoided the balut.
I've just checked Chigger's blog. It's actually quite a depressing read, when you realise a grown adult is so attention-starved that she'd come back for more abuse. Oh well, her last responses were really boring.
What's all this about another fansite Jacurutu?

I checked Arrakeen for the first time in weeks and got this message: Sorry we are offline for now. We are working on the skin, graphics, buttons, organization etc. Please bear with us and we will back soon.
I just wanted to see if she'd banned me for the stuff I've said here. OH and Hyp if you're reading this..
Nice try.

I get the same log in window as always now...and of course I can't since my account is gone.
She may as well take it offline if no one is posting, no? It's dead and she's just hiding it.
I heard back from Worm; we're cool. I also sent her an email and got a novella back in reply. (And since she expects me to repost it here, I won't.
)
But she did say that she hopes we can all make peace someday. And that she might consider lifting the access bans but we have to be willing to meet her halfway.
I'll eat my own poop first. But I will be lifting the bouncy thang on her on my blog tomorrow morning (my time).

Personally, I don't have much to argue with her about. The only thing that really bothered me to the point of action was her stubborn refusal to do anything about the lousy situation on Arrakeen. Of course, the way she acted after "exodus" and the stupid things she said didn't help. I'm still convinced she doesn't "get it" and thus any forum under her command is doomed.
At this point she could create the simplest, most inviting and efficient forum with a kickass color scheme and all the smileys I could ever want; I still wouldn't set foot in it.

I'll tell you what man, I have to give you "props" because you full on predicted this very thing would happen. I even argued with you and kind of insulted you; but man, were you right on money. The site was too cumbersome and the admin was unwilling to listen to any of our requests or suggestions.

Regardless, think nothing of it. You eventually understood the reasons why my concerns were justified and you're a better person for it. As we both know, there are some people that never seem to learn.

Oh, please just let it die! You all talk about it as if it's a person, rather than just a message board. If everyone who was active there has moved onto Jacurutu, what exactly is it you're missing about the place?
As for this so-called revamp and grand re-opening, it's pretty obvious she's shut it down to stop people from copying threads on to Jacurutu. Yes, I do believe she is that small-minded and petty, it's certainly her style.
Khala, Arrakeen is dead.

(Just kidding. I perve them, too.)
But I will have a look if she ever opens it up to the public again. Which she probably won't, since she knows we'll have great fun ripping her "lipstick on a pig" to bacon shreds.
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon/lol.gif)
(Just threatening to do that will be enough to keep it closed. I'm figuring few new people will be interested in joining a forum they can't read or lurk on beforehand. Since the majority of the current members never post, may not even visit, it will eventually die. 8) )
(Of course, she'll read this and think, "Oh yeah, I'll show you!" and open it up. And then I can rip it to shreds. 8) )
(Or she might figure out this reverse psychology offensive and not open it up. In which case it will die. Mission accomplished. 8) )

Hehe, now you're confusing me chigger.
So she's back on your blog and stirring the pot again. Its just amazing to me that someone will continue to take that much abuse. She's incredibly dense. I've decided that she has a sexual attraction to arnoldo; has anyone noticed that she just keep bringing him up but nobody else is? Nobody even responds to her arnoldo references anymore, yet his name just keeps popping up in her posts........ 8)

I don't know, mention of the two of them together, with sexual attraction added to the mix, I can't help thinking of this:
“Well,” said Hypalia, “I must return forthwith to Arrakeen. “Arnoloco, prepare my travelling bags”
Paul recoiled in shock at the sight of the creature who came in from the anteroom. It seemed to be half-human, half-slig with a two foot tongue encrusted with dried faeces, clearly the result of incessant arse-licking.

Im certain she strips her clothes off before she goes to Chig's blog. There is just something perverse about the way she keeps popping up. I think her sexual gratification comes from posting there, at least since arnoldo dumped her.

I have to admit, there is something strangely perverse about being as abused as she is but coming back for more and more. I imagine she was checking daily to see when here mini-ban would be up. Its just strange if you ask me...........

D'ya think she could be so friendless that she is just hoping to wear us down and make us give up? I have noticed that she keeps posting on-topic comments in other threads, like she still wants to be part of the community. But then she goes off and snaps at everyone in the other threads.

Hey, is there a creative way of chasing her off without banning her ass? Maybe program the blog to put "ATTENTION: I AM A SILLY CUNT!!!" at the top of every message she posts from now on?

I need to apologise for my earlier post with the picture of Hyppo. I said "imaginary" instead of "imaginative". It was early morning, and I'm not a morning type of person.
Anyway, the slimy turd is still on the blog. She'll never leave, unless her cats dump her in a old people's home. with no internet access.
I can see that thread reaching 1,000 posts.
Mandy, you mentioned on the blog something that would embarrass Hyppo but you didn't explain what it was. Go on, tell!

I rather prefer imagining them eating her alive after she has become paralyzed from blood poisoning resulting when Irwin perforates the ole box lining during a rather too intense session of slurp-slurp.
Anyway, how's this?

I was going to put a small Arnoloco slig with a prehensile tongue in the area under the sign, but that'll have to wait till later....

I know I said I wouldn't talk to her anymore, but I really couldn't help myself.
I know it's a waste of my time, and even if I prove her wrong on the particular issue I'm taking up, she'll just ignore it and pretend it didn't happen. But my theory is that if she's proven absolutely wrong on every issue, she'll have to pretend none of us exist and go sit at Arrakeen and talk to her cats.

Just went and read it. Very well put. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon/smile.gif)
I've decided countless times to just ignore her...but it hasn't worked yet. Oh well.
(When I was a kid, I loved to do outlandish stuff and when someone called me on it in front of my mother, explain that "I wuz brot up bayud."
Always earned me a hefty smack up the side of the head, but it was worth it seeing the look of absolute mortification on her face. We had an odd relationship that way.
)
I love her list, though: "People who express themselves mainly in profanity/vulgarity...have..."
(1) limited intelligence
(2) low emotional maturity, and
(3) a general disrespect for other people
Hmmm.
(1) I know I'm smarter than she is, at least.
(2) I prefer to think of myself as "young at heart."![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)
(3) I reserve my disrepect for those who deserve it. In general. She told me today she holds me in such contempt that she "can’t think of anything that adequately conveys the quality of" it. Kewl.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)

That's a pity. Maybe another time?
God, that blog is such a mess. You can't reason with the fucktard, she's never wrong. I tried that when she was goading me into quitting Arrakeen. Since then I've realised she's a thick cow who gets off on bitching with people, so I just treat her as a source of a few cheap laughs.
Anyhoo, I've read and contributed to the blog again. I have asked the creature if the reason she had that avatar and tore down the Britney picture is because she's fighting her lesbianism.
I think she's a repressed dyke.

I always kind of thought of her as completely asexual. And completely clueless with either gender to boot.

I think we should complete a dossier on Hyppo. Everything we know about her, which can be used as a reference tool when responding to her bullshit posts. My personal favorite is the issue with her dad. Just makes her look so skeezy abandoning him to the Canadian government like that.

Besides, none of us express ourselves MAINLY in profanity, just on occasion. Her list doesn't apply in any case, but even her original condition doesn't apply to any of us.SandChigger wrote:I love her list, though: "People who express themselves mainly in profanity/vulgarity...have..."

When has she EVER shown intelligence, emotional maturity, or respect for anyone else?

That's a trick question, right? ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
I don't know...I felt kinda sleezy after I brought up her grandma (in the jar (in the closet (on her front porch (so the cats can't get at her (and poop))))), but bringing up her dad like that is kinda low, ain't it, Omph?

OK, lip-service done with. Where'd you get that info? I don't remember her posting about it, but maybe I missed it.

Sorry if anyone else feels queasy about what I said, but I really don't care any more to hold back at all. As far as I am concerned, with her it is officially no holds barred. Whatever I can get away with legally I'm going to try. I'm sure she will just pout about how that brings me down and causes me to lose the battle. Whatever.SandChigger wrote:That's a trick question, right?

It comes from, IIRC, something she posted at Arrakeen the week I started participating there regularly. I could not believe what she said, so I sent her a PM, or maybe posted on the board, asking if she meant to say financial assistance, as opposed to them her forcing them to take him away from her. Actually, I was so shocked I think I even asked her about it later on. Never got a response. Later, it all made sense to me.

No, no. There is much more. And much more opportunity, I think.

I was just kidding about the queasy/sleezy bit. Consider it a contemptuous wink at PC conformity. ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
FWIW, she's posted a reply @ you; says she's fighting to get her father back so she can take care of him.
Latin forum? Post the link, that sounds kinda interesting, actually. (Oh, puhlease, don't look at me that way. You knew I'm weird about languages. I've an account on the Latin WP, after all.) May have to join as Trombicula arrakensis!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)
(Of course, she'll read this and rush to "warn" them about me. Canis meretricia. 8) )
Addendum:
Gah...now THAT is annoying. Takes FAR too long to load.
(How do you know she's a member there? I couldn't see the members list.)

She's in the membership list there.
I Googled variations on her e-mail address from the Duncan Idaho fansite (shes there too: http://guiding-light.org/fanlistings/semperfidelis/) and found here there. That skinning site really is a fucking mess, but you can find her there if you look hard enough. I think I found a reference to Klea from Canada on a page that lists user contributions. Shes some sort of admin there.SandChigger wrote:(Of course, she'll read this and rush to "warn" them about me. Canis meretricia. 8) )

I also used this as a starting point.
Lastly there is a Library Thing page out there, but there isnt much there. She does list Sandworms in her 26 books though. Im not done yet. Somewhere out there are some juicy things to throw in her fucking face.

The Latin forum looks kinda interesting, but is a bit disappointing in that they haven't customized the boardware by translating everything into Latin. In that sense Vicipaedia is much superior. ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
XXIII posts by Klea, amica nostra, and nary a one in Latin.
THIS was choice:
"For the benefit of a novice, how do you actually switch back and forth between the browsers?"
Reply: "You just open a different browser program after downloading another browser. You can also configure it to be your default browser."

(Sorry, it's 3:00 AM and I'm shutting down—with random neuron firing—for the night and just copied the same basic idea I used for the 200th one. As soon as I'd finished and uploaded it, tho, I had a new idea, so I might redo it.)

B, dude, you got one already (200th comment)! I was waiting to hear back from you on design specs when Omph padded the shark. (???) Had to take care of business first.
ChaniLuv, please, I would be honored. (File size-wise it's OK as is (16 KB), but it needs a few pixels shaved off on the width to fit here. Use the version in this post once it appears. ... The new sig is inspired, btw. I missed Britney with the brolly the first time I looked!

It would have to be an Arrakeen run by someone else and have ZERO connection or influence from either Baron or Hyppo. That's the only way I'd go back. Of course, a new Arrakeen would have to compete with both AU and Jacurutu and which I doubt it can ever achieve.
Besides, I'm done playing musical forums. If AU and Jacurutu shut down, I'm finished with Dune fandom. I won't join yet another forum. I may see some of the community on non-Dune forums (like that Worm's Sci-Fi haven site or Chronicles website) but this is it for me. These current babies work or it's over. And there's no where else to go.
Dunenovels is an apologist cesspool on the leash held by KJA and his cohort BH. Its motive is quite clear: money first.
Arrakeen was an over-moderated, navigational nightmare with two power hungry owners. I'll never go back with them in charge, no matter how many apologies are made.

You forgot to add with Hyppo banned, and on a new board that is actually supported by the group that wrote it, then I would not have any opposition to that. But Jacurutu has more than filled its shoes, so I don't think its really needed (and Im really happy with what happens here too, so there's that).Pardot Kynes wrote:If the board COULD be brought back, how many of you would be interested? Those who can remember its heyday- Would you?
Those who cannot, imagine it as populated as you ever saw it, without the censorship, and with less caring about off topic posts, as well as some neat other things to do.

I don't think anyone has anything personal against Baron. He did however abandon the board, and boards with a questionable ownership structure always seem to succumb to fates like this, or DoD, or other bad things. He should have either kept an eye on things, or just given over the board for good.Pardot Kynes wrote:Baron is awesome. Why him gone? He had no part of this. He barely ever even visits.

There is, I believe, a concept of sinning by omission, no? That's what Baron has done by "barely even visit[ing]" and not relinquishing ownership if he's no longer interested, leaving others in control. You could probably add believing Hyppo's account of things rather than checking for himself, but that's just my surmise.
Even if Hyppo does ever open it up again, newly "skinned" or no, OR even if it's opened up without her in control, the only value will be in the content of some of the past threads. Heyday glories, IOW. I mean, of the 400-some(?) members, how many were actually active in posting before the exodus from DN? It was dying a slow death to begin with.
I honestly can't see a need for Arrakeen now.

This is the most stupid question to ask in these forums here ... but does anybody have a link to the Arrakeen forum for me. I have lost it when my computer suffered from burn-out and died on me. I have tried to regain my lost bookmarks but one of the bookmarks I can't find anymore is the one of Arrakeen.
Don't ask me why I want to visit it, because I also don't know.

In a way, though, it may be helpful in that it could show that whatever she is doing to the board (if anything), she expects it to take until April to finish.
I think she mentioned something in a comment about "no threads have been deleted just moved", so she must be doing SOMETHING.
Who knows. (Or cares.)

If she is taking till April to do something I discussed(reinstate the Dune forum MUD I worked so hard to create...), Imma laugh my ass off. Took me about an hour to set it up. The reason I was "reinstated" as a mod (when I was an admin before...) was for that. And I wasn't even given any mod powers. Without admin I couldn't run the RPG without one at my beck and call, and without mod status at the least, I couldn't run it at all.
*sigh*
I haven't lost hope my RPG will find a home eventually.

Evidently she's also "skinning the cat."
I had a look at the InvisionFree support forums from the office last week. The last messages on the ones for the version of the boardware 'Keen uses were from 2003.
If you'll pardon the grotesquerie, I imagine she's just sitting up there in the Great North piddling her pershwanky.

Nope, I'm sure the site will reopen and some will go back too. There's no way we'd be fortunate enough for Arrakeen to die like it should.

I dunno GamePlayer. I could see her screwing something up royally and never figuring out how to fix it. I think that is what is going to happen. She will try to make all these changes, and will do so much damage that the site never works right afterwards.

I'm just getting the impression of desperation. She clearly cares what we all think and I sense this stubborn determination to get the site online is a plan to win back everyone.

Im pretty sure that everything she does is just her little way of showing us her big fat middle finger. She posts on-topic to bait us, and off topic to fan the flames. This whole Arrakeen thing is so that she can say "I told you so," then lock everyone out. Its twisted, I tell you.

I wonder where her pretense at propriety was during the whole ongoing "drama" and the pettiness apparently still raging across message boards and blogs? Funny how it only appears when needed as a convenient excuse.

No doubt this will result in a massive drop in hits to my blog, but I've put her name, email address and IP into the mod queue until she opens 'Keen up again.
It's not that I'm tired of the squabbling (that's actually quite amusing and the good part); I'm tired of her fucking attitude. She can read, just like she does here (Hi, bitch!
), but I have no interest in hearing anything more from her until she actually brings something to the table. ![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon/evil.gif)

No, it just means the blog will now catch them and keep them in the mod queue, where they will wait upon my pleasure.
There are two options with WordPress. You can add things for capture and later consideration, as I have done, or you can blacklist them, in which case nothing is retained and I don't even get a notification that anything happened. In the second case, it's like you never even tried to comment.

Did you guys see that last post? She said that she is going to wait us out, and was hesitant to do...I dunno...something, because she had been burned before by people talking out of both sides of their mouth. Then she calls us paranoid?
I dunno guys and gals. I think I'm going back to my original mental illness theory now. That is starting to look more and more correct daily.

She's fricking loony. But at least she provided a statement of intent, of sort, and—MOST IMPORTANT!—more family history details to throw back at her!
She obviously sees herself as much more mature than anyone else. And as a mother figure (cf. Lonely Loins Syndrome (LLS) and Forlorn Fallopian Complex). And she's just implementing parental behaviors she learned from...Mommy dearest!Arrakeen is not #1 on my list of priorities, but it's near the top. It will take as long as it takes. In the meantime, I don't need children running around the place, making messes, and trying to distract me with their childish chatter. Locking people out is a technique my mother used to use when she didn't want me hindering her housecleaning; granted, it's not a nice thing to do, but I finally understand the reason she did it.

That's exactly what it is and that's what is pissing me off. Hyppo, I know you are reading this, you can block as many of us as you want, but WE WILL find someone to archive the stuff we and others have added to Arrakeen over at Jacurutu. Mark my words; if this is a petty attempt to limit our access to all of the threads we put so much work in over at Arrakeen--it won't work.Mr. Teg wrote:Dayum, she's absolutely NUTS!
(I am sure she is taking a special demented joy in "possessing" our posts and threads on Arrakeen after locking us out.)

She doesn't get that...or didn't this morning when she tried to post after I put her into moderated mode:

This next bit, though, is particularly interesting considering her repeated protestations that SHE IS NOT THE HEAD ADMIN:Hypeesha in a comment on my blog wrote:Why you want Arrakeen re-opened when you keep saying you’ll never go back is beyond me. Why should it matter to you, one way or another, considering a number of you have DEMANDED to be deleted, banned, or whatever else, anyway?
Would you MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MINDS, ALREADY?
You have to wonder if even Baron or Edric can log in now. And she bitched about admins staging a coup!WHEN it opens up, it WILL be under whatever rules I deem necessary. If you can follow them, fine. If not, you’ve got your own places to play.

But see, this is preceisely the problem people. Some of you are allowing Hyperthreading to wind you up. You're getting pissed off and that's exactly what she wants because she gets attention. The ultimate insult to her, the way to really hurt her, is for everyone to dimiss her and forget her. Ban her, don't join her blogs/fourms, don't reply to e-mails or private messages from her...don't even read them. Complete and total censure and removal from the community to which she once belonged.
Trust me. We had a girl just like this at MW. Once she was banned and those who tried to relay her messages were banned, it almost killed her.

Trust me. We had a girl just like this at MW. Once she was banned and those who tried to relay her messages were banned, it almost killed her.

Oh TPOG, but you're missing the point. We get a sick little bit of pleasure out of prodding and harassing her. Its the bully syndrome. Now I understand why people like to beat up on people weaker than themGamePlayer wrote:But see, this is preceisely the problem people. Some of you are allowing Hyperthreading to wind you up. You're getting pissed off and that's exactly what she wants because she gets attention. The ultimate insult to her, the way to really hurt her, is for everyone to dimiss her and forget her. Ban her, don't join her blogs/fourms, don't reply to e-mails or private messages from her...don't even read them. Complete and total censure and removal from the community to which she once belonged.

I agree, this method would be most effective for actually getting back at her. But it eliminates the best part--observing her reaction. I mean, sure, your favorite football team could just slaughter your most hated team, and there would be a certain level of satisfaction. But if you can't watch it on TV, you lose a sizable chunk of the pleasure.

Yeah, you're probably right. But I'm an evil little Master; and a bit of an online sadomaschist. I say we keep prodding herDon't post her crap here.

Im torn. This is great fun, and I enjoy watching the great lenghts she will go to to make us react, but she is an annoying twat. In the end though, GamePlayer is right; I'd prefer to send her ass to the sands than have her get tired of us and leave. The former would really piss her off, so Im all for it.
But no matter what we do I wont completely ban her. I want her looking in through the window around here, with no way to be heard at all.![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon/twisted.gif)

I'm definitely not joining in or reading anymore crap about this on another website. What's posted here is bad enough. And if things are as far gone as you're suggesting, it only makes the motion for an end to this drama more poignant. Just an opinion.

I really have no idea what she's talking about.
If y'all even knew how much whinning I got from her, and put up with. I was never anything but kind to her until I asked her to spell out what duties she wanted the other admins to do and she accused me of being a baby. I told her to take that admin job and shove it. I was asked to be an admin there. I made it clear before I took the position that I'd never been an admin and I would need a little guidance. She appologized, to which I didn't respond. Not long after that I just left.
I don't have any questions for her, nor do I want anything from her.
Did y'all know she doesn't drink? There's something basically wrong with that. Somebody get that girl a highball of Canadian whiskey...

GamePlayer, I understand where you're coming from. As I posted the quotes from the email and queued comment last night, I realized that I was, in effect, still letting her have her say. But the fun of mocking her outweighed that consideration.
The fact that I have been taking steps toward banning her should at least indicate that I am also growing tired of this. But it's always been a failing of mine that I can't put a knife in without twisting it a few times.![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Hypo just emailed and asked that I not allow people to suggest, even in jest, that she had anything to do with the crack yesterday. She assures me that she knows nothing whatsoever about Trojans, but she has got some. (To me, that sounds like buying your prom dress before you're even invited.)
I'm not surprised. But really, that's more detail than I needed.

Well in that case may I be the first to suggest that I can't believe that she would do such a thing as to hack into another person's account. That's really low.

Hyppo went totally insane. Between this website and Chig's blog we have about 2000 posts about it. She opened mail that Crys sent to Baron, she banned users and lied about why, she closed threads for personal reasons, she basically banned Freak for no reason that she cares to mention. She has become a complete and utter troll and has been banned from multiple blogs and forums in the last few weeks. Shes nuts, 13athroom.
BTW, how did you find us here?

man, did she ever... there was a good several month period where i actually contributed on a regular basis, but then one day she started editing nearly everything i posted and closed threads i had started with no real reason other than the fact that she had nothing better to do with her time... we had quite a battle via PM.SandChigger wrote:Hey, 13athroom.

OK. So there is a definite pattern there.
Too sad, for 'Keen. She has closed it and is keeping it closed out of spite. And yet she keeps going on with her "if you're not interested in coming back, why do you worry about when I open it up again?" line (that's not a direct quote, btw). Which is really disingenuous since we've explained it several times.
Hey, Hype, since I know you're reading this, one more time!
Why we want Arrakeen opened up again:
(1) People want to salvage worthwhile threads and other content and make them available here and elsewhere...to effect a Scattering of information, as it were, to ensure its safety from future accident or...complications.
(2) We want to see a demonstration of your supposedly impressive skills at creating a skin for an outdated board and eagerly await the opportunity to constructively evaluate all your hard work and sacrifice.
But you knew these things already. That's why you're keeping the site locked down. Because you also know that once we're done salvaging, there won't be any reason at all to return to 'Keen again. Or to ever waste a single thought on you. So you can drop the line already. It's getting tired.

Which is really disingenuous since we've explained it several times.
Hey, Hype, since I know you're reading this, one more time!
Why we want Arrakeen opened up again:
(1) People want to salvage worthwhile threads and other content and make them available here and elsewhere...to effect a Scattering of information, as it were, to ensure its safety from future accident or...complications.
(2) We want to see a demonstration of your supposedly impressive skills at creating a skin for an outdated board and eagerly await the opportunity to constructively evaluate all your hard work and sacrifice.
But you knew these things already. That's why you're keeping the site locked down. Because you also know that once we're done salvaging, there won't be any reason at all to return to 'Keen again. Or to ever waste a single thought on you. So you can drop the line already. It's getting tired.

Hell, its a shame I didn't know! I would have thrown that in her fucking fat face too. Did she call any of your stuff that she deleted or closed "spam" or "porn?" She liked to call all of our stuff that, even though it was neither.13athroom wrote:man, did she ever... there was a good several month period where i actually contributed on a regular basis, but then one day she started editing nearly everything i posted and closed threads i had started with no real reason other than the fact that she had nothing better to do with her time... we had quite a battle via PM.SandChigger wrote:Hey, 13athroom.

Best I was able to do. I say get what you can off of there and fuck the rest of it. We can remake anything that was there. It was us who did it in the first place.

a thread about worms was labeled in a spammish manner, though if i recall correctly she said that the thread had potential to make people who are eating sick, and that it was off topic... though the thread was posted in the general discussion area of a dune related forum.Omphalos wrote: Did she call any of your stuff that she deleted or closed "spam" or "porn?"

The aquarium worm thang, right? I remember that one.
She has a really bizarre idea of what "spam" means. Basically: anything off-topic.![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon/rolleyes.gif)
Not too savvy on trolls, either.

So she closes a thread, not because someone complained, but because in her deranged mind a hypothetical hyper-sensitive cry-baby might be offended.13athroom wrote:a thread about worms was labeled in a spammish manner, though if i recall correctly she said that the thread had potential to make people who are eating sick, and that it was off topic... though the thread was posted in the general discussion area of a dune related forum.Omphalos wrote: Did she call any of your stuff that she deleted or closed "spam" or "porn?"

The only person who would have been eating whilst online would be her, shoving yet another cream cake down her bloated chops.
She's probably munching a family sized back of Doritos whilst she's reading this (hi cunt!).

So...question. If Hyppo just replaced the Arrakeen homepage with a huge banner proclaiming, "I did it for the lulz," would anyone here forgive and forget?
I know I'd be damn tempted. However, I know Hyppo doesn't have the sense of humor, and if she had the opportunity to respond, she would call me childish or apply some other ridiculous and unwarranted label. She could NEVER do it for the lulz.

I wouldn't care either way. The site sucked, she was told it sucked, she ignored the fact that it sucked and so I left because it sucked. Everything that came after that was just noise and thankfully, I wasn't part of the vast majority of it. Ultimately the whole affair was of minor inconvenience, which is why I was of the opinion most should just leave and ignore her. Keep it going and leaves open the possibility of her to come back with something like this.
Course, I have to agree with Phaedrus that such cunning would be giving her far too much credit. If she did claim it was all a joke at this point, I probably wouldn't believe her anyway![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon/smile.gif)

Got the computer connected up again this afton and did a bit of perving/slumming. I saw some of her recent posts.Mr. Teg wrote:Someone pointed out that Hypalia was taking at shot at us on Dunenovels in one of the movie threads, and I noticed in her profile she put the Imperial "Library" as her location...more credence to the bag lady at the public library theory!
SHE doesn't demean other fans by calling them names like "Preek".
And SHE would be willing to forgive Kevin and Brian much if only that famous sword was first blooded on Grumman in Paw of Dune.
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon/rolleyes.gif)
She's probably inordinately interested in the subject because no man has ever bloodied his sword around her.
If you follow my drift.

The trolls running wild is why I left DN. What good is making a valid point or posting an intelligent argument only for it to be ignored, flamed or trolled? But then again, I think that was the point. Make DN a place where intelligent people feel marginalized and thus the forum is reduced to a haven for fans of mediocre, disposable entertainment (something in which the HLP specializes).

It's a bit annoying, when I sometimes perve/slum from the office machine, to see complete wastes of space like Sunnypuck/Superduperphuck posting complete and utter drivel there with little comment from Byron.

Sorry to hear that, Worm. But honestly, I am not surprised at all. I remember the day after I banned her sorry ass from here she showed up at Worm's after, like, months away and started posting in a thread I was active in. I took that as nothing more than a ham-handed attempt to goad either me or someone else from here into attacking her. She did it to me at DN too. By that time I was completely sick of her games though. Sorry she had to try to drag you into this.Worm wrote:I've had my dealings with her recently.

Some saucy soccer mom took me to task on the "stop the hating!" discussion thread on Paw of Dune on Amazon; made reference to my "infantile behavior at odds with my obvious great age."
THAT made my day!

You know, I sometimes feel like I'm diminishing myself in the eyes of others over the way that I respond to her. In almost all other aspects of my life I am a figure of authority, and I try to be fair and accommodating. But then, I remember that I hate the fucking cunt, and all this is deserved.SandChigger wrote:OK, be honest:

Yes, I do think of her. I imagine her to be tortured that her access to us is cut off, and that makes me glad. Does that make me such a bad person?

Man, I feel the same way. That whole ordeal got to me a bit and I just haven't had the desire lately. Sometimes I wonder if I did the right thing by emailing Baron. I wasn't looking for anything personal, I just wanted some peace from that bitch and the best for ‘keen.You know, I sometimes feel like I'm diminishing myself in the eyes of others over the way that I respond to her.

I never heard from him. Either he never got the email, doesn't care, or is too intimidated by the scope of the problem (or by hypo) to do anything.

My theory is that he just does not care any more. I was there in 2006, and I think I saw him appear twice, both times when someone was bitching about the color format. He'd pop in, say a change was in the works, then disappear again forever.

Well, you know the secretary that works in his office? Well she said he was entering rehab! Oh yes. I've heard rumor of his long term cocaine problem and there was some kind of intervention involving an ex-girlfriend. I bet there was! He probably got caught "intervening" with her! Oh honey, you wouldn't believe what I just read about Freak Z in the latest issue of Jac Chat, you know, the gossip mag of the OH. Well, let me tell you something; it was a real shocker...

Damn.
Reading that just reminded me that I forgot to bring home the images I made during lunch. (I was playing with my iSight again.)
I had one or two that would have been perfect for that.![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon/sad.gif)

Hyppo sent me a PM at DN accusing me of lying about her signature.
WTF?
Anyone know what she's on about? I don't remember talking about her signature, but maybe I was blacked out.

Apart for where it says " i iz leadr here." and that being full of shite I've no idea what she meant.
Look, I'm not much good at big speeches, and I know I haven't always been an easy guy to get on with, and I know, that given the choice, I wouldn't have chosen you as friends, but I just want to say, that over the years, I have come to regard you as people I met.

I guess she cant come over to here or SC's blog and stir up trouble, so now she has to make it up out of whole cloth, Freak.

I'm mystified.
Yeah, it's the cat looking at a transformer, I beleive.
Anyway, I don't really care what she thinks of me and I can't imagine being so bored as to rag her about her sig. I think she's mistaken me for someone else's comment. Must be embarassing to accuse the wrong person of being a liar. I try not to lie to anyone besides my parents and the police, and I try not to talk about her. Well, minimally at least.

She insists she never did that and wants me to state here that "I was mistaken". I believed it to be true when I posted it but I guess I could have been mistaken.
That may be, if so, I'm sorry dear.

So Yesterday's Woman is back on the scene. I must admit, I am genuinely surprised that after all this time (how many months since she was banned from here?), she's still lurking, seething that she can't come in and bicker with everyone.
What a desperately lonely, sad old cow.
The message doesn't seem to get through, does it?
Fuck off Hyppo, no one wants to hear another word from your lying mouth.

Ditto.
All I want to hear from the bitch is that 'Keen is open to public access again.
But since she obviously has no intention of opening it (and lacks the talent to skin it, as she claimed she was), fuck her.

BTW, she said she hasn't abandoned Arrakeen, she's deciding how to reorganize. I won't hold my breath.
Oh, and she didn't run anyone off, they left of their own free will. As if there's a difference.

I'm not sure what qualifies it as a "miserable" site. I registered there and have it on my blogroll but haven't posted or visited regularly.
Anyway, I didn't bring it up to have the nastiness taken there(, Omph.
).
But I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the fact that she is still monitoring things here and on my blog and feels the need to respond to them.
Stew in it, Hype, you stupid slat.

My website was down for three days before the last update. That is what a maintenance delay is. What has it been now, three months with Arrakeen? It's a good thing she isn't running a commercial website like dobbienovels. Then again...*evil grin*

Look what Hyppo said on that House Atreides site -
Arrakeen did NOT "die." It is offline for maintenance and reorganization.
For someone who claims to be a proofreader, her grammar is crap. That first full stop (period for Yanks) is on the wrong side of the quotation marks.
What a useless turd. (Hi arsehole!)

Um...actually...that's American style.
I think it looks like crap as well, so I usually follow what I perceive to be the British way. If I'm quoting a word at the end of a sentence or clause, I put the punctuation after the end quote. If I'm quoting something that contains the punctuation in question, I put it inside the end quote.
That may not be how you all really do it over there, but that's how I do it.
Arrakeen did "die", bitch.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)

Yes, we've also been taught to put the period on the inside of quotation marks. We do have a good number of proper English rules from our British roots, but this one rule didn't make it.

I have no idea what came over me (OK, I do, I wanted to see if the bitch was at all sorry for what she did), but I sent Hyppo a note over at another board. Now the stalker wont leave me alone. Just because I know it bugs the shit outta her, here is the latest from the unrepentant bitch:
Omphalos wrote:You pity my family? That's a laugh. At least I don't keep my grandmother under the porch and my grandfather in a cheap state run center where I can ignore him. Has your dad remembered who you are yet? I sure as shit hope not. Poor old man, such a hateful, evil daughter.Hyppo wrote:Now that's the real Omphalos I've come to detest. Isn't it better when you're honest?Omphalos wrote:Go away you stalker slat. I told you I was finished with you. didn't you see me wipe my feet on your face? Bugger off.
At this point I really can't decide which of the three of you is more disgusting -- you, SandChigger, or Chanilover. I knew Chanilover was disgusting from the start. You took longer to show your true self. I pity your RL family.
And just so you know, I have never been dishonest with you. I wouldn't sully the joy I have watching you burn yourself on a pyre by giving you any chance at all to sink any barbs into me. I rather enjoy watching you make up shit that you think bothers me. I only wish I had a web cam to see you as you realize you have yet to score a point. Trouble is, I'm sure your big, fat, jowly face wouldn't fit even in my extra large monitor.
BTW, thanks for putting me in with great company. I would rather hang out with those guys' feces than with you.

I love that she has too much pride to walk away from us, and absolutely cannot accept that she has been handed her ass once and again. She just keeps responding to everything I send her.

Well...look at it this way:
As long as we keep handing her her ass...at least somebody is touching it.
She probably doesn't get a lot of that otherwise.
I mean...someone would have to roll her over first, no?

Has anyone heard anything from him?

Well, she is still trolling here. I wondered what that smell was. Somebody open a fucking window, please!
Eat shit, Hyppo, you prude old prune.
I'm curious what Crys and/or Freak said when she "apologized" to them? Now, I know it probably was not an apology, but I hope that the responses were along the lines of "fuck you."Hyppo wrote:Well, we can finally agree on something. I feel you're trash, and a waste of space and resources. Tell me... before the 'Net, where did you post photos of yourself on the toilet? Not that I want to see them, but I can't help but be morbidly curious.Omphalos wrote:I trust my feelings, and I feel that you are trash.
Have you even once considered apologizing for all the shit you have pulled? I mean really apologizing and asking for forgiveness?
Oh, and I am not having an affair of any kind whatsoever with Byron. Maybe he likes cat/Yoda hybrids. Maybe he just likes that picture, for whatever weird reason he may have.
I saw you at Arrakeen last night. Read anything good? Post anything? Didn't think so.
I've done a hell of a lot more apologizing than you have. I don't recall that you've done any at all.

I think she means that she can tell I went by the log in page there. I do that every once in a while to see if anything has changed. I saw you post that Edric was back, so I popped by on the off chance that he reopened the thing. She must have been there in the admin section and seen that I stopped by and tried to gain admission. Or maybe our names still pop up on the bottom of the main page where it says who has been by in the last fifteen minutes.
I'm surprised that she wasn't haranguing me about that earlier. I usually go by once a week or two, and have been since she lost her fucking mind. I guess she just doesn't pay much attention to that site anymore.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon/lol.gif)
BTW, she is back at it over at the other site, answering and sending me PM's again.

I can't remember her apologizing about anything to me. She certainly never did over the whole email issue, even after all others pointed out that she was in the wrong. She used the excuse that she opened it for board security reasons......whatever that means.

Have you even once considered apologizing for all the shit you have pulled? I mean really apologizing and asking for forgiveness?
Oh, and I am not having an affair of any kind whatsoever with Byron. Maybe he likes cat/Yoda hybrids. Maybe he just likes that picture, for whatever weird reason he may have.
I saw you at Arrakeen last night. Read anything good? Post anything? Didn't think so.
I've done a hell of a lot more apologizing than you have. I don't recall that you've done any at all.
As for me, I dont have any illusions. You will hate me forever, and Im perfectly fine with that. But you are useless trash who is horrible at picking friends and enemies. Me and CL are the only two that you have picked correctly, and that is because we went out of our ways to tell you.
And I went to Arrakeen to see if Edric had booted your ass out of there yet. He's back, and I really am curious to see what happens.
Enjoy trolling T(A)U. Its the closest you will ever get to us again, you mad, sad beast.
What, exactly, am I supposed to grovel for forgiveness over? Arnoldo? That's just bizarre. If that's your problem, then Byron would need about 50 lifetimes to beg your forgiveness, considering the flamewars that have happened at DN.
As for who stabbed who in the back, I have screenshots of Crysknife and Freakzilla doing exactly that to me, over at your forum. I hope you someday have the experience of one or more of the people you thought you could trust trying to grab control of your forum away from you for reasons that amount to little more than petty spite. In this instance I do consider that I can refer to Arrakeen as "my" forum, since neither Baron nor Edric were around to do anything about the situation. If they had been, everything would have turned out differently. And differently still doesn't mean turning Arrakeen into a cesspool for Chanilover to post nearly-naked pictures of trashy pop stars.
BTW, I had Chanilover pegged as enemy material almost from the get-go. He didn't need to go out of his way at all... he just needed to be himself.
And in what way am I "trolling" your forum? I can't post there, so how can I possibly troll there?
I'm curious to see what happens with Edric, too.
As for Crys and Freak, congratulations on mastering screenshot technology.Freak did nothing to hurt you, and Crys only told you what you can do with your site after you violated his privacy and opened a private e-mail from him to Baron. Idiot.
As for trolling, go buy a dictionary you dipshit. In addition to making an ass out of yourself by posting and looking for a fight, it also means "fishing with a line from a boat." You are dipping your line into the water over there, collecting "screenshots" for your "evidence" that we are all against you. Guess what idiot! We are all against you!
You also forget the timeline of events. I had no reason to check Arrakeen's email logs until AFTER I read on your forum what those two were planning. As a consequence, I realized that having evidence was necessary. Hence, the screenshots.
Maybe if you had provided me with relevant screenshots or links to what you considered Arnoldo's worst "sins" at DN, I might have reconsidered my actions in his case. After all, you guys were the ones bitching; it was up to you to prove your case. And you failed, because I just do NOT have the time to go back over hundreds of pages of posts and guess which ones angered you the most (seems just about anything does that doesn't agree 100% with you, but oh well...).
I don't care about most of what you say. Chanilover couldn't rise out of the muck if his life depended on it, and Mandy just gives the impression of being a filthy-mouthed whore. Those observations are based on both avatar, sig, and posting choices each has made.
This is the last time I will be doing this. I know she is getting off having her words put up here again, so Ill cut it out.
Chig, can you PM me Hyppo's IP numbers? I want to IP ban her, and I cant find where I wrote them down.

I like it when she shows her fangs.
They're so tiny, they're kinda cute.
(Means she has to work her jaws more to get those massive meals down?)
The IP address was up above, Omph: 70.65.85.# (That's 256 addresses.)
I'll check the blog later and see if there are any other variants she posted under.
If you're going to ban her, there's no point in mentioning her here again.

I don't want to piss off Dunenewt, but this is just too good not to share:
Re: Do you want blue within blue eyes?
Looks like Chanilover was right.Hyppo wrote:I wouldn't make a good Fremen. I've already got blue eyes, but the rest of me wouldn't be very believable as a Fremen woman.
Some detail about spice essence or something like that?Besides, I used to work backstage in one of our local theatre companies, usually in the props or costume departments. That's the kind of participation I'd prefer, if they didn't want somebody who knows the book well enough to be able to tell them when they're messing up some detail that would make the hardcore fans eviscerate them for the next 20 years.

Evidence? What the hell? Is there some internet court that prosecutes trolls? If there is, let me know. Hyppo is The Public Enemy (starring James Cagney as Hyppo) ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon/smile.gif)
Damn, she really is behind the curve isn't she? The saving posts and screenshots thing has been killed and beaten since the late 1990's (some would even argue it was dead since the days of usenet). But perhaps a refresher is in order...

Well, everything except the "effective" partArchivist saves and squirrels away each and every discussion forum message. Do you remember having a bad day back in 1996 when in one of your messages you may have said a few things that were...well, perhaps a little...hasty? Don't worry, Archivist still has it and will post it to the forum if you begin to get the upper hand in battle. Archivist can be a very effective and fearsome Warrior.

Poor old Hyppo, all she does is reveal more about her repulsive personality than she realises.
Why would I "rise out of the muck" when describing shit like Hyppo? If it smells like a turd, I'll call it a turd.
She is truly insane. Because Mandy might have mentioned that naughty "sex" word, she's a filthy-mouthed whore. I suppose Hyppo thinks that saying something like "she gives the impression of being a filthy-mouthed whore", she can pretend that she hasn't actually called Mandy a whore. Oh well, I always said Hyppo was dumb, and that proves it. And predictable.
Dont' ban her IP address, Omphalos, you'll be effectively giving the narrow-minded bigot the last word, and she doesn't deserve that.
"Enemy material". What a demented old bat.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon/lol.gif)

I think she objects to Tricia Helfer's nipples.. or they make her a little squirmy, cause she's fighting her lesbian nature. She should see the sig I use on one of my kookier message boards.
I agree with CL.. don't ban the bitch, let her take all the screen shots she wants. Everyone knows she's batshit already.

You really should pop over by FED2K and see the smilie-fraught post she made in their Science of Dune book thread (here, direct link to: New unofficial book released).
A lot of the members over there seem to be young men in their late teens or early twenties...uni students, etc. (Which would make sense, with the primarily gamer slant, no?) I think they're bringing out her mothering instincts.![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon/eek.gif)

Oh, I agree. Blonde people usually have a certain look, as do brunettes. You can tell when it's not natural. I find natural blondes very attractive but not because they have beautifull hair. Usually it's straight and thin.Omphalos wrote:Doesnt matter, Freak.

Here is its latest spewings.
You know, I would really love to find out which forums banned her ass and "stalked" her in the past. I think those people would make great, great members around here.
What is this nonsense with screenshots? And why does she think this is a Dune related site?
This really is about attention, and nothing more. Just take a look at the way that she keeps giving up details of her personal life, like the cane. Its like she thinks we want to talk to her about her. Sad. Sad and pathetic....and just a little bit creepy.
You know, I would really love to find out which forums banned her ass and "stalked" her in the past. I think those people would make great, great members around here.

You can't read something before you know it exists. God, you guys are deficient in logic. Maybe you need to go immerse yourself in some Spock-intensive episodes of Star Trek to get your brains working again. All the accusations you keep throwing at me these past months lack one crucial ingredient: PROOF.

Lying cunt.Hyppo wrote: Poor Omphalucy -- forever misunderstanding -- or pretending to misunderstand just to carry on squabbling. A dim little light turned on in your head and you're denying it. That's sad.
You also forget the timeline of events. I had no reason to check Arrakeen's email logs until AFTER I read on your forum what those two were planning. As a consequence, I realized that having evidence was necessary. Hence, the screenshots.
Maybe if you had provided me with relevant screenshots or links to what you considered Arnoldo's worst "sins" at DN, I might have reconsidered my actions in his case. After all, you guys were the ones bitching; it was up to you to prove your case. And you failed, because I just do NOT have the time to go back over hundreds of pages of posts and guess which ones angered you the most (seems just about anything does that doesn't agree 100% with you, but oh well...).
I don't care about most of what you say. Chanilover couldn't rise out of the muck if his life depended on it, and Mandy just gives the impression of being a filthy-mouthed whore. Those observations are based on both avatar, sig, and posting choices each has made.
BTW, it's against the rules of most forum hosting companies for peoples' personal information such as IP addresses to be bandied about so publicly.
Ah, well. I've dealt with SFB like you twits before, and they finally quit stalking me. Mind you, I knew where their skeletons were buried.
As for me posting on other Dune forums, so what? It doesn't mean I'm following you, or SandChigger, or anybody else around. It just means I've found a place to discuss Dune stuff. So get over yourselves.
Something I've noticed about your forum: there's a lot of fluff and gossip and gutter profanity... but not much real Dune discussion. I don't forsee much serious progress getting done there if all you're going to do is bitch about my latest posts on FED2K or DN and continue to rant about Byron. If you ban me from reading your forum and responding in my own way elsewhere, whatever else will you all have to snark about?
And lest you allow your disgusting imaginations run away with you re the cameo role discussion at FED2K... Whoever heard of a Fremen who lives in the deep desert but walks with a cane? 'Cause in real life I do. I don't say this in any way to look for pity, sympathy, etc. because I know that you of all people have none to give. I bet you'd even laugh at your own grandmother if she had a chronic illness that gave her trouble balancing when walking. For me it's simply a fact of life, like blue eyes.
And as you have denied me access to even read whatever real Dune material you jokers might someday come up with, don't hold your breath getting back into Arrakeen. I'll go through your stuff, purge the obvious crap, and archive whatever else might be relevant (and written so that it's fit for polite audiences)... and pack it up in an archive somewhere, where nobody will ever read it.
That is, unless you issue an apology to me for the way in which you constantly violated Arrakeen's rules, sought to undermine Arrakeen Staff's ability to do their jobs to enforce the forum rules, and for all the vulgar, profanity-laced personal lies and venom directed at me and my family.
However, since this would involve you actually standing up and being a man of honor, I doubt it will ever happen.
Why don't you prove me wrong, for once?
Alzheimer's again? Is this your way of striking back at your dad for touching you that way when you were little (oops, I mean "young." You were never "little" were you? I'm sure that's why you have a cane. Because you let your ass get way too fat to move properly, and now your poor atrophied legs cannot carry your Jabba-like bulk.
Fuck your stupid interpretation of the rules. You know nothing about running a forum or a board. You are the worst admin in the history of the internet.
But, by popular request I have unbanned your IP number. Try to take a shower or at least douche before you come a trollin'. I can always smell your stank after you have been there, and its quite annoying. But, you can shove every post I ever put at Arrakeen right up your ass. I'm sure that will make them just as likely to be seen as if you left them on your dead board.
Tell me. Is it your plot to gross me out by actually having to watch you take abuse like this? Its working. You are gross.

Does she actually think anyone gives a shit what she does with the old posts on Arrakeen? She's still that whining little girl, threatening to take her dolls home unless the other kids played just the way Hyppo ordered them too.
Utterly tragic, yet mildly amusing.
Hmm, something about Dune. How about, what was that drug some Mentats used? Maybe Hyppo's memory isn't what it used to be. That's not a good sign.

It was her justification for closing Arrakeen. I think she said it over on SC's blog. Something about how whenever her mother was cleaning house, she would lock the kids out so she could do it without being bothered. The analogy is supposed to transfer to kicking everyone out of Arrakeen.Omphalos wrote:I dont remember her talking about her mother throwing her out of the house. Tell more, please!
But that would make her our "mother"-figure, and I just can't see that.
It's an interesting look into the psychology of a Hyppo, though, isn't it?

Is locking your kids out while you clean wrong?
There's no possible way I could mop the kitchen floor if I didn't do that. But I don't feel guilty, They've got a trampoline, swings, playhouses, etc...

Oh, Freak. Get that trampoline outta there right away. I know that they are fun, but as a torts lawyer, who has read most of hte trampoline cases out there, I think you have no idea how much damage those things can do. Some of the worst accidents I have ever read about that did not involve a big-rig are trampoline cases. Im talking about young kids losing all the skin on their legs, horrible brain injuries, paralysis cases, scrotal amputations. Im not kidding; those things are death traps.

![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon/rolleyes.gif)
When she was giving me an etiquette lesson over on FED2K I called her Mom. She had an appropriately 50-ish response.
She's just trying to use our posts over on 'Keen as leverage, because we've said that's the only reason we want back in. So she's basically down to the last thing she can threaten us with, you know.
But if she's going to edit and delete them as she sees fit (she, who is just acting admin, remember), there's probably not much reason to even bother.
So, as far as I'm concerned, let it stay closed. Let her take the combined content of the site and print it out and ram it up her stinking gash.
That'll be the most activity that ole cess pool has seen in a while, I warrant.

Just some very, very personal PMs from the troll. Thought you all might enjoy. Sorry about the mess, but i think you can tell who's who.
-----------
I told you I won't stop till you're gone and/or Arrakeen is gone forever. But if you wish to see my comment in a negative light I can't help that.
You won't find me making veiled personal comments about you;
That's because you have nothing against me, but I have something against you. Simple as that.
------------
The hell I don't have something against you. You know perfectly well what it is.
My point here is that I'm capable of interacting with civility on this forum, even with people I can't stand. It's too bad you don't seem capable of doing likewise.
-----------
It wasn't your board and it's clear now that you should have never been in charge. It wasn't up to you to decide how to handle things. You were just as capable of emailing baron about Freak or I if you didn't want us......the difference is I wouldn't have opened up your email to him. I'm not an underhanded &&&&& like that. I can take criticism.
But you will never understand any of that will you? You will never understand that you don't belong in control of anything. Leader, you are not.
----------
I would have been more than happy to let Baron or Edric handle the cr@p the rest of you were tossing around. I can pretty much guarantee that I was much more patient with some people than either of my senior Admins would have been (and I don't refer to Arnoldo; I refer to stuff like Chanilover's cr@p, and some of the squabbling about Byron, among other things). But since both Baron and Edric went MIA, I was next in line. Nobody else (ie. you or Freakzilla) seemed willing to do much, and somebody had to. So I did.
Don't blame me because you were lazy. Don't blame me because the board owner and senior admins both disappeared on us.
And I didn't get to the point of not wanting you until I saw the backhanded cr@p you were spouting on Omphalos' forum. Believe it or not, I gave you a dozen more chances than I give most people. If you had ASKED me to consider a leave of absence, with a PROMISE to keep the board running -- and made me believe you would have KEPT that promise, I would likely have accepted with gratitude. It's been an extremely stressful year for me, and the Arrakeen garbage got to be too much. I figure that going offline for awhile is the best compromise of a bad situation. I've left messages for Edric, and will get his input about Arrakeen's future.
You can't take criticism as well as you claim. Otherwise, you would not have started spamming Arrakeen with calls for my resignation. You would not have started spewing your venom on other boards. You would not still be doing it here. You think I haven't made sure Byron knows the score and asked him to help keep the peace? I'm sure he's trying to be as neutral as he can, but it's in his own best interests to keep this forum running smoothly -- and he does recognize petty backbiting when he sees it.
I run several boards, Crysknife -- and people have told me they're glad of it. I take the best examples of forums I belong to and implement what works and try to avoid what doesn't. Clearly Arrakeen fell into a grey area I hadn't got the hang of, once the mass influx of new people happened last year. But I didn't, and still do not, understand why certain people insist on behaving like children. Dune fans are supposed to be a cut above the average fan, in intelligence and maturity. Sadly, that seems to be lacking among some of you. It's gotten to the point of my having to distance myself by saying, "I'm an OH, but not THAT kind of OH."
I get that you're mad that I read your email. It's not a friendly thing to do. I would apologize, except that the reason I read it outweighed (in my opinion) the usual courtesies of privacy. You and others have been bandying my personal life, issues, and even my IP in public places where I don't have access to defend myself. How is that any better than reading an email that was sent for the purpose of grabbing control of a forum you clearly were not interested in working on in the first place?
Oh, and give it up about the "Leadr." It was just a joke caption on a LolCat photo, and I did it long before I even joined this forum. Sometimes a picture of a cat is just a picture of a cat.
---------
You're too lazy to do anything. Name one thing of significance that you did over there. Daily approving of members can not be counted. That board needed much more. But now we see the depth of your laziness every time we click on the link the Arrakeen.
You obviously need this board to make your worthless life seem like living. There's a point where you have to let go of things Hyp, and you reached it about 30 miles back. You have destroyed any good will that would have ever been handed you.
I made it no secret to you or anyone that I disagreed with the way you handled things. Why would I take the side of someone who clearly shouldn't have control? My words on other forums were for everyone to see including you. But I STILL would not have opened your email to the baron had our roles been reversed. That is backhanded and an invasion of privacy. But you're too needy to ever see that. If you were worried about Freak or I, you could have written your own email and baron, the owner of the board, would have sorted it out.
And I still have no proof that Baron ever got my email. No doubt you deleted it.
Pathetic.
----------
You sure make a lot of assumptions. Did you EVER go to the InvisionFree Support Board and actually LEARN anything? I rather doubt it. That's something Baron told ALL the staff we should do -- from what I can tell, only Edric and I ever followed through on that.
I have not deleted your email. I WANT Baron to know what's been going on and "sort it out." If he hasn't answered you, that's not my fault.
By the way, I didn't hack into anything to read that email. It's one of the security features available to Admins on Invision boards. Obviously the people who made the board software thought it would be useful. I certainly found it useful that day.
Of course you wouldn't have read my email to Baron. I'm not stupid enough to send any emails via board software on ANY forum unless I don't mind the staff reading it.
I don't have to justify a list of everything I did there. Some of it was out in the open for all to see, and other things were private, between me and whichever individual member I was dealing with. I'm certainly not going to betray their confidences to you, or anyone else.
Your words on other forums are just words, unless I have the option of replying to them. Since I don't, they don't mean much, other than to tell me you'd rather sling mud from a safe distance instead of taking the chance that I might have something to say back.
Tell me... if I gave up Arrakeen today, what would happen to it? Who would run it, and what would happen there? Any technical improvements? Any efforts to clean up the cr@p? Any intention of returning it to the friendly, smart forum it used to be before the junior-high gang mentality took over?
Do enlighten me.
----------
Ok, I wouldn’t open up an email from you to baron because I have morals. The feature for the board is for spam. You could clearly see that it was labeled from Crysknife to Baron. Clearly not spam. And this is exactly why you shouldn’t be in control of the board. You sit here and say you’re not going to betray the members when that is clearly what you will do, at any cost. You show your insecurity while at the same time defending your unethical actions by saying you would never send an email via the board. And those trips to the Invision Forum were wasted because you still haven’t done anything!
What would happen to Arrakeen today? Nothing, because you will never give it up. And therefore it’s worthless speculating about what might happen if you do. So NOTHING will get done. And it was always a smart forum till you killed it.
Goodbye you little insecure thing. I will make it known what you did to anyone who wants to listen. You will never have a following on Arrakeen because I all I have to do is let people know what you did, then they will never trust you, and I am going no where.
-----------
The security feature also exists in cases of harassment, fighting, personal attacks, flaming, and other rules breaches. And as part of the gang that routinely engages in vulgar, profanity-laced gossip and speculation about my private life, you really ought to rethink your "morals."
My trips to the Invision board were very useful. I learned a lot. I continue to participate in several support boards, and some of the conversation centers around the issues Admins have to deal with -- such as that of Arrakeen. I have asked the people there if, in their opinions, I overreacted.
The consensus is that I didn't. I did what was necessary to prevent Arrakeen from turning into a garbage heap. All your whining that I "killed" it is just that -- whining that "you wouldn't let us keep on making a mess! You meanie!"
Well, boo-hoo. There are other places where you can all behave like children. You seem to forget that some Arrakeen members prefer to lurk and read, instead of post. Should they have to read the ongoing rants and insults that were routinely thrown around? Or should they be able to read intelligent debates about Dune? An Admin has to think about ALL the members, not just the most active posters. If you don't understand that, YOU have no business on the staff of a forum.
It's not true that I haven't done anything. I just prefer to get things done without distraction from other concerns. But since you insist you'll never go back, why should you care?
-----------
Who's making judgment calls about personal life now?
Don't worry Hyp, I'm already successful. But I know you have nothing so that's why you hold onto Arrakeen like some baby blanket or something.
Come to think about it, most of the people you have problems with are also wildly successful people....Hmmm, go figure.
----------
I try not to judge people. But I can only be pushed so far before it becomes inevitable. I'm less angry with you than disappointed. I'd expected better from you and Freakzilla.
And you know nothing about my private life that I don't choose to tell. Omphalos and SandChigger, in spite of all their stalking and digging, haven't found anything other than what I choose to tell. About 99.9% of what they ballyhoo about is outright made-up lies. As for the rest, I don't owe you or anybody else justification for how I live or what my values are. As I said, I'm willing to apologize if proven wrong, but I'm not going to apologize for what I'm not wrong about.
----------
Also, I'm going to post these PMs at Jacurutu.
Thanks.
Your problem is that you lump everyone together. If you can find one instance where I have commented on your personal life(which I know nothing about) then I'll eat my hat. I try not to get into the speculating about a person's life, but I would rather hang with anyone at Jacurutu over you.
All I know is how you are on the net(and I presume your personality in real life), and honey, there's not much good I can say about that.
Enjoy your cats.....(That's me not speculating
)
-----------
Yeah, making private messages public and betraying confidential communications is pretty much what I've come to expect from all of you. At least I never posted your message to Baron.
Are you sure you want to turn Jacurutu into the same cesspool that Omphalos' forum is? I thought Freakzilla prefered it to be about Dune and not interforum cr@p?
I must have misunderstood. Forgive me.
As for my personality, people either like me or they don't. It's not something I tend to lose much sleep over. I did try to stay friendly, cheerful, and helpful -- but you and the others managed to push me to the breaking point where I didn't feel like making that effort for a bunch of jerks who didn't appreciate it. It's unfortunate that the other Arrakeen members also have to suffer the consequences of your actions (and by extension, the actions I felt necessary to take to protect the forum).
But that's another thing you just don't seem to have thought about, thus providing another reason why it's actually a good thing you decided you didn't want to be on staff there anymore. You're just not suited.
----------
Oh yeah, so it's OK for you to look at my private emails, but just not everyone else? Makes sense you troll.
And most of the people from AridQueen have moved on to Jacurutu and everyone is really enjoying it. Freak and Omph are a thousand times the Admin you are. I never said I made a great Admin, only that you certainly didn't.
And payback's a bitch, ain't it?
-----------
Heh, I've dropped by Jacurutu a few times out of curiosity. It's really not that interesting. But things ought to pick up when Orald and Edric pick up where they left off.
And you didn't turn out to be ANY kind of Admin. I've seen your kind on other boards -- you want the title and perks without doing the work to earn them.
I had no idea you were upset that only I was reading your email. So you want me to post it? Just say the word, and I'd be happy to. After all, if Baron had answered you, you'd have crowed loud and long about it by now -- unless, of course, he figures you're in the wrong.
------------
I don't need any title or perks. I think people know I'm a dedicated Dune fan just by my posts. I never asked to be Admin either, I was fine with a mod spot or nothing at all. I also offered at one point to give up my spot to someone more able and you talked me out of it, or did you forget that? You're trying to put all your deficiencies on me and no one is buying it.
At this point, I could care less what Baron thinks. No doubt you've somehow blocked him and Edric as well?
It is beyond anything I can imagine how low you are Hyp. The scum off the bottom of my shoe is more valuable.
------------
I talked you out of it because I thought you still had potential to grow into your job. You proved otherwise.
I'll be sure to let Baron know how little you value his opinion. And no, I have not blocked either him or Edric. What part of I WANT them to know what's going on do you not understand?
-----------
Where's your potential?
This is all pretty funny coming from someone like you. Oh man, the guys(and gal) should get a kick outta this!
Nobody needs your double entendres, Crysknife. I realize I can't do anything about the insults you throw at me on Omphalos' site, so why don't you confine your nastiness there? I'm entitled to the same basic courtesy here that you are. You won't find me making veiled personal comments about you; how about the same consideration?yeah, that p-ussy needs its medicine

And I didn't get to the point of not wanting you until I saw the backhanded cr@p you were spouting on Omphalos' forum. Believe it or not, I gave you a dozen more chances than I give most people. If you had ASKED me to consider a leave of absence, with a PROMISE to keep the board running -- and made me believe you would have KEPT that promise, I would likely have accepted with gratitude. It's been an extremely stressful year for me, and the Arrakeen garbage got to be too much. I figure that going offline for awhile is the best compromise of a bad situation. I've left messages for Edric, and will get his input about Arrakeen's future.
You can't take criticism as well as you claim. Otherwise, you would not have started spamming Arrakeen with calls for my resignation. You would not have started spewing your venom on other boards. You would not still be doing it here. You think I haven't made sure Byron knows the score and asked him to help keep the peace? I'm sure he's trying to be as neutral as he can, but it's in his own best interests to keep this forum running smoothly -- and he does recognize petty backbiting when he sees it.
I run several boards, Crysknife -- and people have told me they're glad of it. I take the best examples of forums I belong to and implement what works and try to avoid what doesn't. Clearly Arrakeen fell into a grey area I hadn't got the hang of, once the mass influx of new people happened last year. But I didn't, and still do not, understand why certain people insist on behaving like children. Dune fans are supposed to be a cut above the average fan, in intelligence and maturity. Sadly, that seems to be lacking among some of you. It's gotten to the point of my having to distance myself by saying, "I'm an OH, but not THAT kind of OH."
I get that you're mad that I read your email. It's not a friendly thing to do. I would apologize, except that the reason I read it outweighed (in my opinion) the usual courtesies of privacy. You and others have been bandying my personal life, issues, and even my IP in public places where I don't have access to defend myself. How is that any better than reading an email that was sent for the purpose of grabbing control of a forum you clearly were not interested in working on in the first place?
Oh, and give it up about the "Leadr." It was just a joke caption on a LolCat photo, and I did it long before I even joined this forum. Sometimes a picture of a cat is just a picture of a cat.
---------
You're too lazy to do anything. Name one thing of significance that you did over there. Daily approving of members can not be counted. That board needed much more. But now we see the depth of your laziness every time we click on the link the Arrakeen.
You obviously need this board to make your worthless life seem like living. There's a point where you have to let go of things Hyp, and you reached it about 30 miles back. You have destroyed any good will that would have ever been handed you.
I made it no secret to you or anyone that I disagreed with the way you handled things. Why would I take the side of someone who clearly shouldn't have control? My words on other forums were for everyone to see including you. But I STILL would not have opened your email to the baron had our roles been reversed. That is backhanded and an invasion of privacy. But you're too needy to ever see that. If you were worried about Freak or I, you could have written your own email and baron, the owner of the board, would have sorted it out.
And I still have no proof that Baron ever got my email. No doubt you deleted it.
Pathetic.
----------
You sure make a lot of assumptions. Did you EVER go to the InvisionFree Support Board and actually LEARN anything? I rather doubt it. That's something Baron told ALL the staff we should do -- from what I can tell, only Edric and I ever followed through on that.
I have not deleted your email. I WANT Baron to know what's been going on and "sort it out." If he hasn't answered you, that's not my fault.
By the way, I didn't hack into anything to read that email. It's one of the security features available to Admins on Invision boards. Obviously the people who made the board software thought it would be useful. I certainly found it useful that day.
Of course you wouldn't have read my email to Baron. I'm not stupid enough to send any emails via board software on ANY forum unless I don't mind the staff reading it.
I don't have to justify a list of everything I did there. Some of it was out in the open for all to see, and other things were private, between me and whichever individual member I was dealing with. I'm certainly not going to betray their confidences to you, or anyone else.
Your words on other forums are just words, unless I have the option of replying to them. Since I don't, they don't mean much, other than to tell me you'd rather sling mud from a safe distance instead of taking the chance that I might have something to say back.
Tell me... if I gave up Arrakeen today, what would happen to it? Who would run it, and what would happen there? Any technical improvements? Any efforts to clean up the cr@p? Any intention of returning it to the friendly, smart forum it used to be before the junior-high gang mentality took over?
Do enlighten me.
----------
Ok, I wouldn’t open up an email from you to baron because I have morals. The feature for the board is for spam. You could clearly see that it was labeled from Crysknife to Baron. Clearly not spam. And this is exactly why you shouldn’t be in control of the board. You sit here and say you’re not going to betray the members when that is clearly what you will do, at any cost. You show your insecurity while at the same time defending your unethical actions by saying you would never send an email via the board. And those trips to the Invision Forum were wasted because you still haven’t done anything!
What would happen to Arrakeen today? Nothing, because you will never give it up. And therefore it’s worthless speculating about what might happen if you do. So NOTHING will get done. And it was always a smart forum till you killed it.
Goodbye you little insecure thing. I will make it known what you did to anyone who wants to listen. You will never have a following on Arrakeen because I all I have to do is let people know what you did, then they will never trust you, and I am going no where.
-----------
The security feature also exists in cases of harassment, fighting, personal attacks, flaming, and other rules breaches. And as part of the gang that routinely engages in vulgar, profanity-laced gossip and speculation about my private life, you really ought to rethink your "morals."
My trips to the Invision board were very useful. I learned a lot. I continue to participate in several support boards, and some of the conversation centers around the issues Admins have to deal with -- such as that of Arrakeen. I have asked the people there if, in their opinions, I overreacted.
The consensus is that I didn't. I did what was necessary to prevent Arrakeen from turning into a garbage heap. All your whining that I "killed" it is just that -- whining that "you wouldn't let us keep on making a mess! You meanie!"
Well, boo-hoo. There are other places where you can all behave like children. You seem to forget that some Arrakeen members prefer to lurk and read, instead of post. Should they have to read the ongoing rants and insults that were routinely thrown around? Or should they be able to read intelligent debates about Dune? An Admin has to think about ALL the members, not just the most active posters. If you don't understand that, YOU have no business on the staff of a forum.
It's not true that I haven't done anything. I just prefer to get things done without distraction from other concerns. But since you insist you'll never go back, why should you care?
Sadly, that's probably true.I am going no where.
-----------
Who's making judgment calls about personal life now?
Don't worry Hyp, I'm already successful. But I know you have nothing so that's why you hold onto Arrakeen like some baby blanket or something.
Come to think about it, most of the people you have problems with are also wildly successful people....Hmmm, go figure.
----------
I try not to judge people. But I can only be pushed so far before it becomes inevitable. I'm less angry with you than disappointed. I'd expected better from you and Freakzilla.
And you know nothing about my private life that I don't choose to tell. Omphalos and SandChigger, in spite of all their stalking and digging, haven't found anything other than what I choose to tell. About 99.9% of what they ballyhoo about is outright made-up lies. As for the rest, I don't owe you or anybody else justification for how I live or what my values are. As I said, I'm willing to apologize if proven wrong, but I'm not going to apologize for what I'm not wrong about.
----------
Also, I'm going to post these PMs at Jacurutu.
Thanks.
Your problem is that you lump everyone together. If you can find one instance where I have commented on your personal life(which I know nothing about) then I'll eat my hat. I try not to get into the speculating about a person's life, but I would rather hang with anyone at Jacurutu over you.
All I know is how you are on the net(and I presume your personality in real life), and honey, there's not much good I can say about that.
Enjoy your cats.....(That's me not speculating
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon/wink.gif)
-----------
Yeah, making private messages public and betraying confidential communications is pretty much what I've come to expect from all of you. At least I never posted your message to Baron.
Are you sure you want to turn Jacurutu into the same cesspool that Omphalos' forum is? I thought Freakzilla prefered it to be about Dune and not interforum cr@p?
I must have misunderstood. Forgive me.
As for my personality, people either like me or they don't. It's not something I tend to lose much sleep over. I did try to stay friendly, cheerful, and helpful -- but you and the others managed to push me to the breaking point where I didn't feel like making that effort for a bunch of jerks who didn't appreciate it. It's unfortunate that the other Arrakeen members also have to suffer the consequences of your actions (and by extension, the actions I felt necessary to take to protect the forum).
But that's another thing you just don't seem to have thought about, thus providing another reason why it's actually a good thing you decided you didn't want to be on staff there anymore. You're just not suited.
----------
Oh yeah, so it's OK for you to look at my private emails, but just not everyone else? Makes sense you troll.
And most of the people from AridQueen have moved on to Jacurutu and everyone is really enjoying it. Freak and Omph are a thousand times the Admin you are. I never said I made a great Admin, only that you certainly didn't.
And payback's a bitch, ain't it?
-----------
Heh, I've dropped by Jacurutu a few times out of curiosity. It's really not that interesting. But things ought to pick up when Orald and Edric pick up where they left off.
And you didn't turn out to be ANY kind of Admin. I've seen your kind on other boards -- you want the title and perks without doing the work to earn them.
I had no idea you were upset that only I was reading your email. So you want me to post it? Just say the word, and I'd be happy to. After all, if Baron had answered you, you'd have crowed loud and long about it by now -- unless, of course, he figures you're in the wrong.
------------
I don't need any title or perks. I think people know I'm a dedicated Dune fan just by my posts. I never asked to be Admin either, I was fine with a mod spot or nothing at all. I also offered at one point to give up my spot to someone more able and you talked me out of it, or did you forget that? You're trying to put all your deficiencies on me and no one is buying it.
At this point, I could care less what Baron thinks. No doubt you've somehow blocked him and Edric as well?
It is beyond anything I can imagine how low you are Hyp. The scum off the bottom of my shoe is more valuable.
------------
I talked you out of it because I thought you still had potential to grow into your job. You proved otherwise.
I'll be sure to let Baron know how little you value his opinion. And no, I have not blocked either him or Edric. What part of I WANT them to know what's going on do you not understand?
-----------
Where's your potential?

When you hear only what you want to hear, you don't get enough information to know what's really going on. And then later, when you're operating on false assumptions and everybody else gets angry, you get angry, and a fight develops... well, it's just beyond nasty.
(Is anyone else NOT thinking "dysfunctional"?Hyppo on: May 15, 2008, 23:34:48 wrote:When I say "truth" I mean things that go way beyond such petty concerns as whether or not the guy likes the outfit the girl is currently wearing (for example). I mean that I prefer guys who are honest enough to say what they mean, and mean what they say and let actions match both. I can't abide hypocrisy.
Mind you, I've also seen my parents go through umpteen significant others (each) and in my opinion NOT ONE has measured up to either of my parents. In my mom's case, her second husband told her on her birthday, about a month after their 24th anniversary, that he was divorcing her and intended to marry a woman 20 years younger, with whom he'd been having an affair that apparently his friends/family knew about, but nobody had bothered to tell my mother. In my dad's case, the worst was his last girlfriend, who tried her damndest to manipulate my grandmother into legal/financial decisions that would have made it soooo much easier for the girlfriend to take control of the family property after my grandmother's death.
Well, my ex-stepfather is and always was a worthless piece of crap. My dad's girlfriend failed in her attempts at a takeover, and she died a few years ago -- good riddance.
As for myself, I thought I'd found the perfect guy... completely compatible outlooks and interests in many areas, and I got along fine with his parents. But one night he swatted me and knocked my glasses off -- and that was the end. We're not a couple anymore, and never will be. It was just the one incident, but that sort of thing never gets a second chance with me.
So I guess I'm pretty cynical about all this...![]()

I'm not saying all guys are like this. And I don't hate the guy who did this. I realize he's got anger management problems. But that doesn't mean I intend to risk my own safety.
For people here who have difficulty understanding how men and women can be "just friends" -- it's easy. Just be friends. Respect that there is a part of the other person's life that is off-limits and None Of Your Business (unless they choose to talk about it) and carry on like normal.
For what it's worth, one of the things I enjoy about the discussion boards I frequent is the chance to talk to guys and get their perspective on things. Many women can't seem to muster any interest in SF, books other than the current Oprah favorite, and new things besides the current fashions and hairstyles. And I find those things unbearably boring. I've been part of gaming forums for years, and many of the guys there insist, "You can't be a girl! Girls don't play computer games or RPG!"
Well, I am, and I do. I'm into SF, history, politics, science, and I play a mean game of Civilization. In past decades, I'd be described as a "spinster" -- but unlike those times, nowadays I'm free to not care about that, or be embarrassed. My mom is another story; she'd prefer I was married with children and grandchildren by now. But that's her problem.
Besides, in a different reality it all worked out anyway. 8)

Not that its as good as the stuff here, but I just posted something at DN that apparently pissed off our friend Hyppo. She though it would be nice to post in a two-faced manner. Let me share:
Omphalos wrote:Of course. But I dont recall too much there that was new, or related specifically to the context of the book. Like with artillery. FH went into pretty cool discussions about its use in a desert theater, in a mountain theater, and with shields. So he gave us some new things to cogitate on. I honestly dont recall anything new with heavy cav, and all the air assault stuff read and sounded pretty routine to me, except for the fact that there were ornithopters, but I would classify that a purely "gadget" element. Maybe Im wrong, I dont know, but I dont recall much. One other thing he did touch on was the usefulness/uselessness of near space domination, which is a pretty cool topic IMHO too. He also went into incredible detail on guerilla tactics, and how a smaller force can defeat a larger, more traditionally organized one.Freakzilla wrote:As well as heavy cavalry and air assault.Omphalos wrote:Still, I think it warrants discussion in a military SF context, because it adds to the subgenre with it's great discussions on tactics in a desert theater, and infantry combat and single combat.
Oh, and dont forget the wierding modules.
Hyppo wrote:Cavalry = Sandworms + Wormriders
Omphalos wrote:Wow. All you need is a stupid URL and you really would be like your young ward.Hyppo wrote:Cavalry = Sandworms + Wormriders
Hyppo wrote:As I understand the concept of "cavalry," it's soldiers/fighters mounted on some sort of animal that they use for transportation. Real history records soldiers using horses, camels, elephants... The Dune equivalent would be Fremen mounted on sandworms.
I thought the analogy was clear enough.

I surprise myself with how right I am about her.
Why is Hyppo bleating about not being able to defend herself? In two separate threads on SC's blog I gave her details of the lies she spewed on Arrakeen after she demanded them from me, and both times she never posted again in those threads, she just scuttled off to another thread to stir things up with more of her nonsense.
As for the reason why she'd share those unsavoury details of her dysfunctional gutter-trash excuse of a family, she yearns for attention. She is an emotionally immature wreck who craves drama, it's the only way she can interact with people. The boyfriend who knocks her glasses off is out of her house straight away so she can play the domestic violence victim card; she is "sexually harrassed" on an internet chatroom; she shuts down an internet site as a pathetic attempt to hold sway over the former members who might at one time wanted to go back when it re-opened - "you won't play nicely so I'm taking your toys away". I don't think she has any kind of social interaction with adults at all.
She said Mandy "gave the impression" of being a foul-mouthed whore. This from the woman whose parents went throught partners like other people have hot dinners, desperately using sex in an attempt to win the affection of their latest target. Oh well, looks like both of Hyppo's parents "give the impression" of being desperately lonley whores. Of course, that's just "the impression" Hyppo is giving of her scumbag family.

There are perks to being an admin/mod? I am in a staff position on several message boards, and so far I've received no perks. Where's my company car?
Ah.. she's just pissed at me because I didn't take her side. She should realize that I left her board peacefully when I saw how she ran the place. I never had any intentions of causing any trouble at Arrakeen.. but that doesn't mean I didn't have an opinion or that I wouldn't express it. If saying 'fuck' now and then makes a person a foul mouthed whore, then everyone here is a whore and I'm in good company. I'd rather post with you low lifes than with that prissy, stick-up-her-ass, bitch.

My gawd, who the hell talks about things like that over the internet? Get a shrink, woman!
There could be something to this "abusive relationship" angle. Might explain why she eats up practically all the abuse you guys/gals throw at her and then she comes back for more. What a disturbing thought.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon/smile.gif)

I'm waiting to see how long it takes her to complain to Dunenewt or someone over there about me reposting her drool over here. (I'm not looking to get banned from there or anything, but if it comes to that....)

WTF are the lurkers going to read when you drive off all the active posters, arnoldo's insane bable?Hyppo wrote:Well, boo-hoo. There are other places where you can all behave like children. You seem to forget that some Arrakeen members prefer to lurk and read, instead of post. Should they have to read the ongoing rants and insults that were routinely thrown around? Or should they be able to read intelligent debates about Dune? An Admin has to think about ALL the members, not just the most active posters. If you don't understand that, YOU have no business on the staff of a forum.

Cavalry is mounted, it doesn't have to be on an animal. It can be a truck, motorcycle, tank, helicopter, ornithopter, etc.Omphalos wrote:Not that its as good as the stuff here, but I just posted something at DN that apparently pissed off our friend Hyppo. She though it would be nice to post in a two-faced manner. Let me share:
Omphalos wrote:Of course. But I dont recall too much there that was new, or related specifically to the context of the book. Like with artillery. FH went into pretty cool discussions about its use in a desert theater, in a mountain theater, and with shields. So he gave us some new things to cogitate on. I honestly dont recall anything new with heavy cav, and all the air assault stuff read and sounded pretty routine to me, except for the fact that there were ornithopters, but I would classify that a purely "gadget" element. Maybe Im wrong, I dont know, but I dont recall much. One other thing he did touch on was the usefulness/uselessness of near space domination, which is a pretty cool topic IMHO too. He also went into incredible detail on guerilla tactics, and how a smaller force can defeat a larger, more traditionally organized one.Freakzilla wrote:As well as heavy cavalry and air assault.Omphalos wrote:Still, I think it warrants discussion in a military SF context, because it adds to the subgenre with it's great discussions on tactics in a desert theater, and infantry combat and single combat.
Oh, and dont forget the wierding modules.
Hyppo wrote:Cavalry = Sandworms + Wormriders
Omphalos wrote:Wow. All you need is a stupid URL and you really would be like your young ward.Hyppo wrote:Cavalry = Sandworms + Wormriders
Hyppo wrote:As I understand the concept of "cavalry," it's soldiers/fighters mounted on some sort of animal that they use for transportation. Real history records soldiers using horses, camels, elephants... The Dune equivalent would be Fremen mounted on sandworms.
I thought the analogy was clear enough.

No need to start calling me names, Hyppo. I didn't call you one.Hyppo, in a very rude PM wrote:Has Byron installed the Ignore code yet? If so, why don't you use it? If not, why don't you pretend he did and use it anyway?
I already know you're an a$$. You don't need to keep proving it.
What seperates the modern U.S. Cavalry from Armor, since they both use tanks, is the mission they perform. Cavalry's main roles are reconaisance and security.
Traditionally, Heavy Cavalry has much more armor than Light Cavalry.
There was nothing "new" about Paul's Heavy Cavalry Charge with Sandworms through the Shield Wall breach, just look at the Second Gulf War.
The 3rd Squadron of the 7th Cavalry fought in the Iraq War, Operation Iraqi Freedom and as the "Eyes and Ears" for the 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized) and the "Iron Fist" for the XVIII Airborne Corps. The unit was engaged with the enemy earlier or more often in the war than any other unit. The 3rd Squadron was the spearhead and the screening force for the main elements of the 3rd Infantry Division.
I don't think there was much more talk about the Harkonnen artillery than there was about the Fremen use of 'thopters and sandworms.
The mounted sandworms charge was the desert power Duke Leto never dreamed of.

My god. Its turned up again at the other site and has started stalking me again. I suppose it had something with the message I sent it at Jacurutu:
Here is the latest exchange from the other place:

From: Omphalos
To: Hyppo
Posted: Fri May 23, 2008
Subject: Jacurutu
You will get exactly one fucking chance. If I see something I dont like, you are out of here that second. Do NOT respond to this PM. If you know what is good for you, you will leave me alone entirely. I do not need a reason more than I already have to ban your ass, and if you even talk to me on a PM, unless I require your answer, I will do it.
Here is the latest exchange from the other place:
I love how she accuses one of us of ruining DN. What a tool.Omphalos wrote:I had a sneaking suspicion that you had started stalking me here again. Must have been the smell you leave in every room you visit.Hyppo wrote:At this point, I'm wondering... which of you hacked DN? Are you that pissed at Byron -- who was only defending himself and his family by pointing out that cyberstalking is illegal -- that you would vandalize the official forum?
Strange how so many Dune forums are being hacked these days -- Irulan's forum, Ghola Forum, now DN... good thing Arrakeen's offline and Edric's back from being MIA.
BTW, Edric isn't kicking me out. So much for that wish of yours.
Oh, please. Spare me. Byron has as much as said that it was a problem with a modification gone wrong.
And, how exactly is anyone cyberstalking anyone else? Could it be that you actually think its illegal to respond to someone when they come to meet you on a forum? Please. Dont argue the law with a lawyer. It only makes you look stupider than you really are.
You know what, Hyppo? The way you keep turning up at places where you are completely hated, you remind me of one of those horribly abused little children, that keeps telling the cops that she "loves here daddy" and he would "never touch her" that way. Its really sick the way you crave abuse and hatred. I can only imagine what a self loather you are.
BTW, enquiring minds want to know what you did to make your "boyfriend" hit you. What could it have been, I wonder? Im betting that you really dumped him because he didnt hit you in that "special way," like the way your dad used to. Was that it?

She can't be serious. With that innuendo/accusation, I mean. And if she is, she's FAR stupider and more clueless about this than even I suspected. (And based on that whole "search code" thing, I KNOW she's pretty computer IGNURNT.
)
I WISH I were that good. I would have cracked 'Keen and deleted her ass LONG AGO.
No, I much prefer the Dune Novels board as it was and hopefully will soon be again: A BASTION OF SELF-SERVING AVARICE, SYCOPHANTIC IGNORANCE, AND STULTIFYING MEDIOCRITY!
(Ooh, that felt GOOD.

God, you are so transparent. Well, give it your best shot! You never know what you can accomplish!
Seriously, leave me alone. I dont want to be bothered by you any longer. I dont enjoy this harrassment. You are stalking me, just because I dont like you, and I sent you that message asking you not to yell at me. Stop writing me. Go away. I was happy when you stopped writing before.
Isn't 60,000 messages a bit of overkill?
As for your not "enjoying" my replying to your rants, I repeat: You can harrass people but not expect them to retaliate or protest? I realize you think you're just fucking perfect, Omphalucy, but you're not that special.
Really.
And what "yelling" was I doing in the first place? Honestly, if you don't want me to post stuff in answer to what you post, just don't post. Or at least don't post stuff to deliberately provoke a response. 'Cuz that's... you know... trolling.![]()
Oh, and your "book review" site? Duller than dishwater. I've had more fun watching paint dry. B-O-R-I-N-G!
Although somebody found one of your reviews at Arrakeen worth a comment and question... shame there won't ever be an answer.

I used to know kinda right away what she was rambling about. But now in the last two messages she has spouted off, really, gibberish that I cannot understand. Oh well, maybe she will try to explain herself. Yea, right! ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon/lol.gif)

This is over at House Atreides, right?
They use the same boardware...so 60,000 messages is simply not possible. I forget how many you can let pile up in your in-box, but once over the limit (which is an admin-controlled board parameter), the new ones displace the old ones.
If she got a mail notification or message when she logged in saying that she had that many messages, it's a board malfunction.
Again, she doesn't know enough about this stuff to tell the difference between malfunction and malfeasance.
And this idiot is in charge of a board.![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon/rolleyes.gif)

Another issue: She wrote that Edric "isn't kicking [her] out."
I suppose that means they've been in contact?
He pointedly did not reply to my question about 'Keen, so I guess he either doesn't want to get into it...or he has sided with her.
The latter would be rather unfortunate...for 'Keen's future.
But who cares, right?![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)

Hyppo's regressing. The last time I heard someone verbally spell out 'BORING' was when I was arguing with my sister, around the age of seven or eight. Ooh, Hyppo said 'fucking' as well.
As for this Edric creature she keeps banging on about, who gives a shit what he thinks.
Anyway, Hyppo, can we have some more stories about your family, please. I was quite enjoying "Tales From The Trailer Park". It's like a trashy soap opera, starring the pond life and scum of rural Canada.

Why would anyone at all want to join a forum where they are universally hated and despised? That makes no sense to me at all.

Edric wrote me last evening and asked what the hell was going on. Evidently with his current computer access he can't get to Arrakeen himself.
Anyway, I gave him my version.
Concluding paragraph:
PM me if you want his email. (Although keep in mind he's still on limited access, so we probably shouldn't flood his mailbox. No 60,000-post barrages now, Omph!
)
Anyway, I gave him my version.
Concluding paragraph:
He wrote that he is also contacting Freak.Like I wrote before, I'm not interested in returning to Arrakeen. I won't belong anywhere where she's an admin or even a moderator. I'm not going to waste your time slagging her off (further), but I think the fact that she has kept the board closed all this time, seemingly out of spite to a large degree, says all that need be said about her suitability as an admin.

I hate that bitch. I'll try to ignore her over there, but I can't promise anything. I don't understand why she follows us around when she knows we can't stand her damn ass.
And while i appreciate Edric for working on dune stuff that we all might enjoy, I could give a flyin' fuck about his opinions on Arrakeen or Hyp.

I understand that Chig, but I honestly don't think he's going to do anything. He probably feels like it's not his place anymore since he's taken so much time off. That might not be the case, but if he hasn't decided to do anything yet, I'm not sure he ever will.
I hope I'm wrong, but only to get that bitch out. Arrakeen will only be good to pull threads from.

Well, at least he's making the effort to ask other people's takes on it, and not just accepting her version without question.
But I wouldn't put it past the crazy bitch to lock him out, too, you know?

I don't put anything past that bitch anymore.
I wonder what Hag has already told him and why he doesn't just open it back up. Something is keeping him from doing it.....either he doesn't feel it's his place, he is siding with her for the time being, or she's told him some whacked out story and he's content to let her deal with it.
I never thought he was coming back anyway, so here's to hoping that he throws the bitch out on her ear.

I dont need to bait you. I could just delete you any time I want to. Freak seems to think you have something to say. Im not seeing that, so we will just wait til he is tired of watching you, then *poof*
Away with you again.
I have nothing to apologize for that I haven't already. So fuck you. I got what I went there for... a little bit of Dune discussion (granted, damn little), and proof that you and your buddies and that bitch Mandy are nothing but a gang of lying, socially maladjusted losers. I seriously doubt Edric is going to take your side after this.
You call me a bad admin? I never made it personal. Anyone I had issue with at Arrakeen went after other people first; later it got personal, and you all seem amazed that I would take offense at that.
Thanks for the opportunity to see what a shit you are. Oh, and I archived my personal messages this morning, so don't think you're depriving me of proof of your arrogance and duplicity.
Changing somebody's username... tsk, tsk.
Hell will freeze over before you have access to Arrakeen... unless YOU apologize to ME.
But since you won't, I don't need to concern myself with you any longer.
You really are a waste of space in this universe.

I suppose I should apologize though, so I can get back to Arrakeen. Hyppo; I'm sorry for taunting the mentally unstable. I was bad. And I'm sorry that you are friendless. I'm sorry you didn't listen to my advice. I'm sorry I even came to your web-site. I'm sorry that this sort of thing happens to you again and again and again. But you know what I'm mostly sorry for? That I'm even addressing you here.

Evidently she has already deleted things she considers "spam", while keeping the "good stuff" and all the evidence of our bad behavior for Edric and Baron to see.
I particularly relish the fact that she alone is deciding what should be kept and what not on a board which is not hers and that she is just taking control of to protect from vandalism and people who would tear it down...or whatever silly excuse she uses to justify what she's doing in her own little mind.![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon/wink.gif)

She'll be deleting all records of her hissy fits, as well.
She's still repeating the lie that she had to close Arrakeen down to stop the spam and general disturbance, when in fact everyone had stopped posting there weeks before she closed it, with Nekhrun keeping everyone updated on Arrakeen Deathwatch.
Hyppo, take the Arrakeen archives and shove them up your arse.

Weeks? I left Arrakeen over a month before it closed down and I know there were a few others that left even before me. She did what ALL desperate board owners do when their board is dying; close it down just before the utilities are shut off and then scavenge for shreds of dignity scattered on the empty forum floor.

I haven't had a lot of experience with online boards shutting down...is that really a common pattern? Makes sense for them, I guess.
We should have known something was wrong when she wouldn't open the board back up to the public after letting Byron in. (Closing viewing to any but registered members was implemented during the other-board witchhunts...so it made no sense after he was in.) Of course, after the "mutiny" was afoot, she couldn't let the outside world see how (badly) she was handling things.
Whatever.![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon/wink.gif)

I don't know, Chig, but I have run into numerous boards on the web where there had not been a post for sometimes years. I think most of them are just left, unless the server space costs too much.

Definitely not. Just the "desperate" board owners
I think many message boards just go inactive and stay online as long as someone keeps paying the annual ISP fees. Actually, the internet is very much like real life in some frighteningly similar ways. Portions of it can be lost, forgotten or simply neglected, like parts of continents, countries or cities. There's no rules and I've seen message boards die in all kinds of ways (disinterest, hacking, bankruptcy, flame wars, et cetera).
But like I said, in Arrakeen's case, it was run by a desperate, psychologically unstable administrator. And when they drive their forums off a cliff, they always shut them down just prior to hitting bottom. It's like the poor loser who upends the game board when it's clear they are on the downward slope of an inevitable defeat![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon/smile.gif)

I just reread this again, and CL's right, I remember now: she closed 'Keen down completely because Nekhrun was posting reports on the minimal level of activity after we left (just arnoloco and Byron exchanging quips on some thread or other?).chanilover wrote:She's still repeating the lie that she had to close Arrakeen down to stop the spam and general disturbance, when in fact everyone had stopped posting there weeks before she closed it, with Nekhrun keeping everyone updated on Arrakeen Deathwatch.

Not me! That boardware totally sucks, the site is ugly, and having no search feature makes the entire thing a pointless waste of time maintaining. I'd bet that invision is not going to even allow outdated boards to remian up forever. Sister Artemis is running into that problem with her old ezBoard. She has some old DoD stuff archived on her board, and some original content, and ezBoard has told her that they are closing her board because the software is too old. I would worry about invision doing the same thing, since like ezBoard they host the thing.Freakzilla wrote:Who would go back if she wasn't there? Would there be a point to opening it up besides access to old posts?
Plus Hyppo's sticky stench is all over the thing and like I said, not even rubbing alcohol and a flame source would get rid of it all. On top of that, all the worthwhile staff from there is already at Jacurutu. Nobody needs the same group of OH's running two Dune sites. The result of that will be worthy posts in two different locations, which will be confusing.
If I ever got access again, Id go there to send PM's/e-mails to all its users directing them to Jacurutu. After that, close it down, render its posts and pour them into Jacurutu's pools.
What are everyone else's opinions?

From Hyppo at House Atreides:
I do not, and have never attempted, to dig around in the guts of any other kind of forum but Invision, IPBFree, and Invision Power Board. I'm happy to say that during all those times, nothing I have ever done has resulted in the forum crashing or losing content.
Shouldn't you twits put your brains toward something other than spreading lies?
Oh, right. You don't like brains. Rolling Eyes (at least Mandy and Chanilover don't, which I always suspected anyway)
So I take it SandChigger and TMB are uninterested in seeing proof regarding their possible mod promotions at Arrakeen? Fine. Don't say I never offered.

somebody do me a favor and go over to House Atreides and tell Hyppo I would very much like to see evidence in regards to my so-called promotion at Arakeen. Seriously, let's see it.......she can email me. I'm sure she has my email address. she brought it up in a post (on I site I'm not a member of--awfully sporting of her), so tell her please that I DO want to see it for myself.

Yep, it's a booootiful thing, isn't it? ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon/smile.gif)
I really don't care to see proof of this or that concerning something I was never interested in to start with. Besides, like those excluded chapters from the books in The Road to Dune, without direct access to the originals, how can you ever be sure what you're seeing hasn't been altered for effect?
I wouldn't go back to 'Keen for anything but salvage (or, rather, to see if there's anything left to save, I guess). The boardware was just too painful (none of the Javascript editing buttons worked for me, so I had to type in everything). And the provider pulling the plug is something I hadn't considered but which sounds like something to watch out for. (Particularly with the board closed and inactive for five months. D'uh?)
THE THING THAT AMUSES ME MOST OF ALL IS THE IMAGE OF HER POPPING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN HERE AND JACURUTU TRYING TO SEE WHAT'S BEING SAID ABOUT HER NOW.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon/lol.gif)

I think Mandy meant after Hyppo reading Crys' email to Baron.
I certainly never saw it posted anywhere.![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon/confused.gif)
Edit:
HA HA! I just noticed that you've set the board to change Hyppo to Hyppo automatically! Nice!![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon/lol.gif)

Thanks. Ive been trying to figure out how to change her user name in posts she made, but since she is deleted, I don't think I can do that now.

Omph, Ragabash should be able to change them in the database, using the utility. Probably faster/easier than doing it through the boardware.

She's missing us terribly, I think. The fat old lesbo probably wants a threesome. Can you imagine the running commentary of criticism she'd dole out whilst she was being porked.Mandy wrote:OH.. lol I know that chanilover and I have really chapped that dingbats ass. She can't resist taking shots at us even when we're nowhere around.
From Hyppo at House Atreides:
I do not, and have never attempted, to dig around in the guts of any other kind of forum but Invision, IPBFree, and Invision Power Board. I'm happy to say that during all those times, nothing I have ever done has resulted in the forum crashing or losing content.
Shouldn't you twits put your brains toward something other than spreading lies?
Oh, right. You don't like brains. Rolling Eyes (at least Mandy and Chanilover don't, which I always suspected anyway)
So I take it SandChigger and TMB are uninterested in seeing proof regarding their possible mod promotions at Arrakeen? Fine. Don't say I never offered.

She's been harassing me via [PM] at DN lately, calling me a hypocrite for locking the topic at Jacurutu calling Byron a coward.
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon/rolleyes.gif)
Whatever. I don't rant about you, that would be a waste of my time. I also have better things to do than argue with you. I'm over it.Hyppo wrote:What happened to the "new forum, second chance" sentiment? And I have decided, given your moderation style and the sheer vileness that you not only tolerate but encourage there, that I'd rather not be a member. Omphalos can do all the childish tricks he wants to with my username -- that "Hyppo" account is not mine. My account has my proper name, and Omphalos stole that.Freakzilla wrote:That's all between you an them. I'm not going to censor everyone else (most of whom you ran off or banned from Arrakeen) so that you can join in the discussion. You caused the animosity towards yourself from them by censoring them in the first place. I'm not going to do the same thing you did at Arrakeen. Why would you want to be part of a forum where nobody likes you anyway? You knew this would happen.Hyppo wrote:The thread title itself was a personal attack, so I suspect you are right in that assessment.Freakzilla wrote:I have a rule against personal attacks. I let people have their say before the topic was locked. Ten pages worth. You would have immediately deleted or locked the topic.Hyppo wrote:Quit trolling, you hypocrite. I saw the locked thread at Jacurutu, and all the name-calling and personal attacks. I see you're worried about Jacurutu's image and the impression people get from seeing such things -- do you not realize that was/is one of my main concerns about Arrakeen?
He's a member of the HLP. I don't think you went there to make trouble, I think your being there caused trouble.Interesting that you let Byron stay, when you let me be banned -- and you know damn well that I contribute much more useful content to forums than he does. And this notion that I went there to make trouble is just Omphalos' paranoid delusion.
And my presence did not cause any trouble by my intention. I'm not the one who posted all that hateful cr@p from the others. I didn't hold a gun to their heads and force them to say those trollish, vile things; I tried to be helpful and on-topic. And I would definitely never tolerate having a co-admin with such a nasty personal bias as Omphalos has.
I think it's pathetic that he and others you defend get so hysterical when somebody they don't like dares to express an opinion -- even when it's one that basically agrees with them.
In short, Freakzilla, I decided that belonging to either your forum or Omphalos' forum is something I would come to be ashamed of, and that's not a forum experience I find either fun or honorable.
I read your forum and Omphalos' forum for two reasons:
1. I believe in knowing what my enemies are up to. That's how I discovered that you and Crysknife can't be trusted to be honorable and truthful, and that you'd rather go behind my back.
2. Just in case somebody happens to say something intelligent about Dune. It does happen occasionally, but not much since your forum is starting to resemble Omphalos' cesspool.
I banned exactly ONE person: Chanilover, who richly deserved it. Suspensions are not the same as bans. And I did not "run" anybody off. Anybody who flounces around other sites, whining about my moderation style and wailing, "I'm never going back there!" is just acting like a brat throwing a temper tantrum because he was told to behave. Almost none of you want to behave -- including you, judging by the way you don't moderate your own forum and tolerate all the spite and venom toward your own members -- and therefore you throw snits and rant about how mean I am.
Quit bringing Arrakeen's laundry here. I'm willing to bet that if Byron ever faced a choice of which one to ban for troublemaking, trolling or personal attacks -- you or me -- I wouldn't be the one going. And that doesn't mean I like the KJA/BH books. It just means I know how to behave.
Grow up.

She can't stop mentioning my name. I never really understood the point in banning me after I told her to shove her forum six months ago.
Mandy is right, Hyppo is pathetic. Every time this dies down Hyppo just has to resurrect the drama. Get a life, Hyppo, you loser.
