Statement #1:Quote:
Hex said he would deal with this situation. However he chooses to deal with it, I will support.
You first say you'll support Hex no matter what he does but your participation will "diminish" if he doesn't do it the way you want it done.Quote:
However, if something s not done publicly my participation on this board will diminish.
So which is it dickson? You've completely contradticted yourself in two consecutive sentences.
On MANY other boards, the admin just deletes the duplicate accounts and deals with the person private (just like Hex's policy is here) and there is no bravado or drama over it.
As far as this alledged "respected member" you talk about "leaving" that act is getting real old real fast.:smiley29: This board "is what it is" to use ggiese's words, if members like it, then stay and participate, make friends, trade cigars and so forth. If people don't like it then leave and please spare us the whining on the way out as it only makes the person doing it look like an immature baby.
I also have very little respect for people that whine in PMs yet won't express their concerns openly. If they're too spineless to say it publicly then it's meaningless. This is the same situation as people who've claimed they've received "many PMs supporting me" when they find themselves in a hole or on the hotseat, it's meaningless.
Now you're talking in circles. You seem to be hung up on equating someone who made up duplicate accounts when there was no policy against it to someone who is a liar and who is untrustworthy. I made up "the ox hole" duplicate account in 2005 after I registered here in April of 2005 and that is not a lie. Now based on that, I asked you these two questions:
Can you please answer my questions with an answer instead of another question?Quote:
Does this mean you don't "trust" me anymore Nate?
Does this mean you won't participate in a trade or a pass with me?
Make that two respected members. CC, I like you and I will not be drawn in to your debate.:smiley42: I have no need to explain myself to anyone but, Hex.
I still think you should let me hunt those deer. The ticks must rule your neighborhood!!! :smiley26:
Another PM...Now about those deer:smiley31:
Okay, what qualifies in your mind as a "respected member?" I can guarantee you that your criteria are different from mine and probably from everyone else's as well.
You say:
yet you keep stiring the pot with still more alledged PMs about people leaving. If you don't want to "debate" then drop it. If you want to debate about how Hex running the board then let's talk about it, you can't have it both ways.Quote:
I will not be drawn in to your debate.
Personally I'm tired of reading about all this nonsense. Hex, please make up your mind soon on what is going to happen. I thought all the B.S. posting between members going back and forth would slow down for a few when the BPP problem ended. Now we are reading about all of this. Please, end this soon. I've stated my opinion on this matter already.

Bill you seem to be hung up on the fact that these duplicate accounts were created before the policy was implemented, and while it is a possibility that this is the case according to Hex there is evidence that someone is still using one of these duplicate accounts today. That is clearly a violation of board policy. Thsi was brought to public light by Hex and now should be dealt with in public. If Hex makes the decision to handle it privately that is definitely his right but I will not support that decision.
As to your two questions at this moment I really don't know.
I say - OUT THE BASTID!! :smiley20:
..I just KNOW it's that nemesis of mine - Hugh Jorgan, but I can't prove it...
You're darn right I'm "hung up on the fact that these duplicate accounts were created before the policy was implemented" because that means there's no problem, no violation and nothing to make an issue over.
I don't think Hex has any any such evidence. The sad thing here is that too many of you think he does.Quote:
according to Hex there is evidence that someone is still using one of these duplicate accounts today
CC, I think most people feel Hex has such evidence due to the post below.
It doesn't sound at all as if he is referring to you/the oxhole, when he states "posting habits continued until very recently." And if, in fact, he's not referring to you, whoever is guilty is remaining silent on the matter, as is Hex. No one seems to be addressing their duplicate account issue other than you, and I feel you have explained your account situation satisfactorily for everyone. Furthermore, while you believe that others' duplicate account issues are not lying nor trust issues, others clearly do. If they feel that way about the matter, that is clearly their choice, just as it is your choice to feel how you do.
Maybe since they are asking for Hex's clarification on the issue, you could let it go and he can answer how he sees fit. If he chooses to simply post "this matter is closed" fine. If he outs the members, has them tarred and feathered, and steals their wives' undergarments, that's fine too. But can't we just let Hex finish this?
I'm not asking you to refrain from addressing anyone who makes direct accusations at you. I just think the only way this matter is going to be resolved is if Hex makes a definitive statement, whether it's a big fat "STFU" or a "here's the fact's, here's my solution."
And as I told you, the "evidence" he thought he had wasn't as definitive as he first thought. By the way, there is no second "senior" member who is still using "duplicate accounts" therefore there is NO ONE who is "remaining silent" because no one is doing anything wrong with respect to "duplicate accounts."
Since Hex isn't addressing the issue and you guys keep talking about it, I'm going to keep talking about it too.
You guys want me to shut up on this? Fine, then stop posting in this thread, how's that sound?
It ain't me . Some of you motherfuckers got lots of gall asking so many questions and pointing fingers at Cat ,I promise I wont answer fucking questions from newbies and the various tards that seem to be here . If this hurts your itty bitty feelings or makes your sissy ass mad enough to kick a puppy ,get over it.
I find myself rolling through here very quickly every day. Too many whining pussies and opinionated asshats . About time to flush the tiolet to get rid of the floaters
According to Hex's post neither of these things is accurate. If you have some information that we all don't on then maybe you should share it. According to the post from Hex he found TWO senior members using multiple accounts and the postings cotinued until recently. He has not come back saying that this was not the case. No one has any reason to believe at this point that Hex's evidence was lacking except for Hex's silence on the issue. As far as we know from your statements so far Bill it seems that you are assuming things. As you say quite often show me the evidence for your logic. I will look at anything with an openmind.
I'm not "assuming" anything Nate, my statements are based on my PM exchange with Hex. If I were to post it, you'd see for yourself but I'm sorry, I'm not going to do that. And I will assure you once again, my statements are 100% accurate.
Here's the deal, this is HEX'S board and he can do whatever the hell he wants. If he wants to remain silent then that is HIS choice, I for one will NOT browbeat, threaten him or give him infantile ultimatiums like "If you don't do (insert whining, childish, stupid demand here) I will leave and trash you and your board and blah, blah, whine, whine, piss and moan, etc....."
If you and others want to hold something against me when there's no fuggen proof of me ever doing anything wrong, go right ahead and do that. There's nothing I can do to change your mind and once again, I will NOT post my PM exchange with Hex just to satisfy people's curiosity.
I made a mistake and jumped the gun by posting this thread. The forum is pretty divided right now and accusations were being made that people had duplicate accounts. Now that being said, there is evidence pointing towards a duplicate accounts, however vBulletin's search interface has one problem when looking for these kinds of things - dates.
One account in particular was setup a long time ago (it’s user id is 275, we are now at 2781) and has been in use until very recently. vBulletin's duplicate account search showed that one user in particular had used it a lot - when I saw that I posted in this thread. Now after speaking with the member in question and looking a little bit deeper into the logs, he actually stopped using the account well over a year ago. The account has been used by several other individuals. I have gone ahead and banned this account - Moheganson. I didn’t out right delete it so I can go back and look at logs if needed.
The second account in question was brought to my attention by another senior member. I didn't have the evidence I said I had - in fact I told the member who let me know about this account that the IP's didn't match at all. It's all that difficult to spoof IP addresses, but for someone to go through that trouble for so long just seems like too much BS. I have spoken to the individual in question and he has assured me that he is in no way, shape or form associated with the other account. I've been watching the 2 accounts sign in from different locations at the same time, which being that they are in different states is enough for me to believe them.
I know I haven’t been on top of this at all the last couple of weeks. If you knew half of the crap that’s on my plate right now you might understand. I apologize for letting this drag on for as long as it has.
:smiley20:
I'd like to know who that was because obvioulsy whoever that was is nothing but a lying trouble maker who made a completely groundless accusation and unfortunately you believed him and I am at a total loss as to why you'd do that.
C'mon, out the bastid, we don't need that type of lying behind the scenes going on here, do we? After all, this person is obviously an untrustworthy liar, right? Brings the whole integrity of the board down, doesn't it?
Ya know, we all hear "rumors" just about every day in our lives regarding all kinds of things and I don't know about you but I discount most of them as just plain gossip from insecure liars/troublemakers. If I can confirm through another avenue that the "rumor" has merit, then fine but believing something just because one person "said so" is completely irresponsible.
At least I can say I have NEVER contacted you privately with a cowardly, chickenshit PM with any unsubstantiated "rumors" that slander other members here.
I think those people should "man up" and apoligize PUBLICLY to you and this entire board for spreading unsubstantiated "rumors" when they obviously had no idea what they were talking about.
You know CC you're acting like you're the premier FOG on this site. As you ask other's to let it go, have you ever thought for one second. Maybe I should let it go. Taking fractions's of a post and attempting to create dialogue(sp) doesn't do you or I any justice.:smiley18:
ggiese,
I stick around hoping for that day.:smiley13:
Respectfully,
Dickson
Honestly, the only reason i keep coming back to this thread is other's replies. I get the email.
Hex,
You can end this now. Lock'er up.
According to who, you?
Do you think making whiny posts like this contributes in a positive manner? Unfortunately, when I point out your duplicitous posts, you Scotty your way off on another tangent.
Are you asking Hex to "Lock'er up" because you know you don't have enough self control to stop posting here? That's pretty sad....
Sitting in waiting,huh. By the way, bad bait.:smiley32:
moheganson...imagine that. I NEVER woulda thunk it. :smiley24:
We are not privy to the pm's so it is wrong for you to act as if we should know any different then what Hex specifically said. Not seeing the pm's it would be hard to take your statements as 100% accurate. I respect you Bill but I'm not going to take all of your comments as gospel as I'm sure you will not take mine. Hex has however spoken on this matter and it seems to have been dealt with in a good manner.
I never gave an ultimatum nor was I whining about anything.
I never accused you of anything either and I was not and am not holding anything against you.
Okay but now that Hex has elaborated on the whole mess in Post #103, that's consistent with what I've been saying all along so I don't think I'm being "wrong" here as you put it.
That statement doesn't apply to you since you are correct, you never issued ultimatums or whined like others here have. That statement was direct at them, not you, sorry for the confusion.
And I never said you accused me of anything either. However, I did ask you the following two questions twice:
You replied with:Quote:
Does this mean you don't "trust" me anymore Nate?
Does this mean you won't participate in a trade or a pass with me?
andQuote:
Both depend
so that sure looks to me like you're now holding something against me that you had not prior to this whole "duplicate account" nonsense that proved to be nothing.Quote:
I really don't know
Hex,
I'm really trying to understand what you are saying here. It seems that this account was set up long ago by someone. Since it was set up the original poster claims to have stopped using it, but it has since been used by "several other individuals?" I'm now wondering who the "several other individuals" were, Was this a free for all account? Why did the original poster give out the access password to the account in the first place and why was nothing ever said if not to the community, then at least to you, since posts were made using this account for the most part during *debates* up until very recently?
I have all but left this board because of recent shenanigans. In doing so I am breaking contact with lots of people here that I respect and apparently still respect me. If this was truly done in innocence I think I, as well as the others in question, deserve a bit more than the vague explanation provided.
Link :smiley20:
Clearly, shelby - this "account" Hex refers to was used WAY before you were even posting on this board. What is your purpose for wanting Hex to "out" those that have used it? Do you think it has some kind of sinister purpose???
Maybe that account was something that was fun - and provided amusement to the members at the time it was used.
That was a different time, in a different place. You lack any context for the argument, so it really is best for everyone if you just walk away from this. You clearly do not know what you're saying - and it serves no useful purpose to anyone on this board to try and explain it to you... Would ya quit trying to make something out of nothing??? Really - seriously - as much as you feel you're chasing out the bad guys with this quest of yours - there's really nothing there but a couple of guys in white face with clown noses...
And you've been talking about leaving from about your third post. Again - quit being such a thin skinned baby. Either grow a set and stick around - or get out. You're whining and moaning about what you THINK is good for this community serves no purpose other than personal satisfaction. If it's all about you - then you really truly need to move on. This is a COMMUNITY - not a SHELBITY :smiley29:
On another note, though (and in a similar vein) -
I personally think the person who went behind the scenes to create a situation for Hex and this board where an obvious rift has developed ought have the cajones to come out publically apologize for their mistake. Somehow, though - I believe that person will choose to remain behind the curtain, looking for the next way to stir crap up on the board with other silly nonsense, and is not man enough to admit they are wrong. That kind of behavior should NEVER be tolerated. If you're bold enough to publically whine and complain about the way Bill is - certainly you should be self reflective of what you're doing to the board with privately whining to Hex about what you think is true, when it's not...
Hex - IN ALL FAIRNESS TO EVERY MEMBER OF THIS BOARD - the person who went to admin whining about someone having a duplicate account (when there was no clear evidence there was - only a supposition) and stirring up this incredible brouhah - should be outed.
You being wrong was in acting like we should all know what you knew before Hex's post # 103. You were behaving like us wanting to know what was going on was a terrible thing when you obviously wanted to know as well hence you and Hex pm'ing eachother. To act in this manner was wrong.
I will repeat myself, I am not holding anything against you, saying that makes the whole thing seem personal. When this whole mess started I stopped trusting darn near everybody. I also must admit that in my line of work the person who comes out saying no one is guilty of anything is usually the one guilty of something, so I had to ask myself why you seemed so against Hex making this public. I now understand that it was because you had already talked to Hex via pm and found out information on the situation, with that said you could have saved us both time by either posting in this thread that you knew something from Hex earlier or sending me a pm. I would have thought we knew eachother well enough for you to do that.
