Yeah, I lost access to my main account, regained access to the accounts that had been perm-banned, kept access to alt accounts, then I lost all access to all accounts. The new WoTC forums are terrible.

They killed ZB, man. ZB!! 36k or whatever posts gone. I can't wait til they get PMs working. Trevor is gonna get an eyeful - not that he'll care.

I had 50k at one point. Ah, the glorious Edition War.

It's so, so lame. Er ... someone ... had this to say about it:

White Doom 2.0. Bring Gleemax back - that cluster was better managed.

PigKnight · Sep 11, 2013

I liked Gleemax. It was my first forum so I didn't know any better, but I liked it.

gleemax was maybe my second forum i went to YmtC there were mana symbols denoting how active a thread was and that was aesthetically appealing

they changed it a few weeks after i joined though

hi PK i am your fiance do you remember me

Uh... I can't speak for PK, but I thought the rule was that it didn't count if it was in Vegas.

Miss Bun is making a new forum right now and the intention of that is to house any community from the old forums and to try and accomodate all of their needs. KeeperofManyNames of what i imagine are the magic story boards says that he wants to move to Miss Bun's site and that another influential member wants to move to MTG Salvation. Right now the MTG side of things probably has a lot more representation than any of the DnD communities so it is understandable if you do not want to get involved (it is also a splinter community and is thus already dead) but if you do want to get involved then it would be good to get some people from the DnD side to represent themselves in the discussion.

That would be a great idea, except all of the guys here have been very thoroughly banned.

this is the email of the person making the site she is asking people to email her a lot: gameostatis at gmail dot com

Good to know. Thanks for the link!

also is thesilversword anywhere he is my most special slippery friend

I think he got the links before the rout, but I can't guarantee it.

Also, PK, Draco is still unaccounted for, as well as Calron and Micha, at the very least.

yeah i learned about the banning bit after

wizards is spilling spaghetti all over the place

I'm not so sure the accounts are doom. they still have the usual pics instead of the default avvy.

It remains to be seen if it was a purge and not the usual WotC/OneSite-now-SocialCore incompetence. But if it is a purge, I'll troll like I never trolled before.

No matter how unlikely it is, part of my mind is convinced it was an intentional purge. Names I know from elsewhere on the forums are still posting without a problem (besides the terrible new forum, that is). But every OTTer who's made contact since the Change? Bam. Permabanned.
