Hmm...interesting! Possibly a bandwidth problem? If some changes were in the making Matt, the Administrator there, would have simply posted a message on the page as I have done in the past when an upgrade was in the process of being made.

Mortalis, if you were banned it would say so when you try to log in so there must be some other type of problem albeit BT has been known to ban people in the past for sneezing on their monitor while posting!

I seen no glaoting at Bnut just the usual conversations that seemed pretty nice and they did welcome all from Bonsai talk there. There are a lot of people banned from Bonsai Talk, mainly anyone who went against the standard party line "experts" but how does that affect us here?

There was a incindent where someone made some racial remarks about middle eastern people and then the forum went down, but the story from the mods is a bandwidth issue that should be resolved soon.

I use all the forums ibc, bnut, bsite, bchat, a of b, kob, ibf, fachforum, and I like them all, I'd hate to see any one go away so I hope Bonsai Talk comes back soon, it was entertaining.



EDIT: Hey, why am I not allowed to use a o and b in conjunction is there a ban on the art of bonsai project here www.**************** ??? or is the initials a slur in another language or soimething? All I get is *** when I type the letters a o b together???

EDIT EDIT: Lol, it blocked out the url as well????

Phil

Yes, a long story but A*B and its link are banned (as is a certain someones name) on this site. It was banned on the previous site before I took up the reigns here and so it shall remain.

Oh, I asked there after I posted here and was told the banned person sent a cease and desist which is on public record there to have his name and all content removed after a mass ban that happned on the old site, about six people all at once. Tahnks for responding, not that it matters, I know now. Shame really they have the best galleries anywhere. Oh well, yous dos your crime and yous do your times.....lol.


Anyhow, I hope all is well at Bonsai Talk.

[quote=McBonsai;6586]I seen no gloating at Bnut ...[quote]

Not all of them, and not all the threads. But a thread was posted, asking essentially the same thing that I asked on this one, and some of the responses were unkind, to put it mildly.

I haven't visited all the fora you mentioned; might drop in here and there. But I think I'll limit active involvement to two. My reason is probably obvious: the more time I spend on bonsai fora, the less time I spend on my trees themselves! (Generally speaking, anyway.)

Just found out: the problem at BT is connected to a bandwidth issue. Matt (Chroust) is working on it, and apparently expects to be able to resolve it, tho it may take several more days.

Actually it was not six people as I was involved at the time it happened. If you are referring to the person that I think you are that is quite typical of him saying so and such is not the case in any way shape or form and is very typical of him and his ego and lies in saying so. After he was banned, with a couple of others, he tried desperately to gain access to the site with various email addresses and different ISP addresses for over two months. He is quite used to it as he has been banned from other sites as well due to his over self inflated ego, lies, plagiarism and other things of which I'll not mention here as it is most unpleasant, disgusting and better left alone. Even the mention of his name is banned from this site for what he did and what he is. I'll say no more.

As for BT I hope Matt gets things all sorted out, as I'm sure he will, as it is indeed a great site and I wish them all the best and always will.

Wow...Phil, I knew instantly who you were talking about as soon as you described the situation above, as the reputation of he who shall remain unnamed precedes him. I always wondered why I didn't see him here...now I know why.

I think this (he) is one of the reasons bnut is so entertaining.
Some people just enjoy confrontation. i'm not one, but being human I do enjoy observing it for some reason. It's a strange thing. can't explain it.
