As mentioned above.... guess who else got banned the same day?...
The first letter of his nick name is "C", and the last letter is "J"
Wait, you're seriously banned? Didn't you do like 95% of the leg work on there? o_O
Yeah, I've seriously been banned.
Here's a message I had sent out to UC members that reached out to me
"Mike has been on a downward spiral for a while.
He has been banning new people left and right, and is becoming more and more negative toward everything by the minute.
Over the last month he has mentioned to Pierre (badpete69) and myself that he most likely will not be renewing the forum in Feb.
And he absolutely will not sell it, or let someone else take it over if he does not renew.
Recently, Mike out a new rule in place so that Pierre and I could no longer approve first posts by new members. He wanted to be able to see if the post was to his liking.
That's why so many new members that start out being there to promote their stuff get banned.
Anyway, the day that this all went down...
Pierre went ahead and approved a first post from a deck designer. The deck already had a thread started, and this guy found out about UC somehow.. and joined to make the post
Mike lost his mind. In the moderator section of the board... he accused Pierre of inviting this guy on to promote his product, and basically scolded Pierre for approving the first post.
Pierre told Mike he didn't invite the guy, and said that he didn't see the problem with approving the post... and said that he was done being treated like this... asked to be removed as Mod.
Mike did that immediately. Pierre posted that he was stepping down as mod because he didn't like the way he was being treated (is that right Pierre?)
Anyway, Mike turned around and banned him.
Pierre phoned me and let me know what happened, and I hopped on the computer.
I messaged Mike, and told him that I absolutely didn't agree with the banning of Pierre... and that I would have to step down as well.
I made the following post in the "Congrats to Walrus on being the new mod" thread...
"You forgot to mention that you banned Pierre" and then another post in the same thread... "I've also decided to step down as Moderator. I will still be part of the forum though. Thanks guys"
Then I got banned, and those posts were removed.
Mike was also VERY pissed that the day before this all went down that I started a new thread at Aether for the Bicycle Warrior Horse. "
I didn't do 95% of the leg work. Pierre (badpete69) was also a huge contributer to the site.
I don't really even know what to say about the situation
