What Happened?

To keep it short, there was some problems yesterday between members that caused Tony to have to take the forum offline. Part of the details are on his latest article on the Articles page - hopefully that will explain things.

I'm having to be careful how I explain it as the code of conduct has changed as well which is now a lot stricter.

Hello, all.

Okay, what the heck caused the forums to be shut down? I go on a vacation for one day and then the forums are down?

What happened?

Regards,
People that think that making new stricter laws will change something. The laws were in place before, but nobody enforced them, and therefore the world became out of control. They think that by making things more strict people are going to care. Well, apparently some people just don't have a brain. They need somebody with one to enlighten them on several things:
A: This is a virtual world. You can do whatever you want with no recourse. I can create as many accounts and aliases and be as many people as I want too. Not a thing you can do about it.
B: People are always going to do something disrespectful. Have you ever seen a perfect human? I say not.
C: Debate is always constructive. Why did I do it? To bounce ideas whether accepted by people or not. I'm sure the Presidential Debates are very destructive.
D: Trolls have existed since the beginning of time, and as long as there are humans, will always exist.
E: This is a Discussion forum. Discussions are always going to get heated, and that's what makes discussion exciting. I guess some particular people think discussion is always somebody agreeing with somebody else. I find that when I have a discussion with somebody, I disagree roughly 95% of time. I guess that doesn't apply for certain people.
F: Certain people just can't handle the truth, and now they have to dictate things so they no longer have to hear the truth. That's okay, because people like me always exists somewhere!
G: Man has always had an opinion. I have one right now, and you're seeing it. See, I paid my money, and now I have the right to truly criticize.
H: If you're not one happy, then you don't deserve to have anything good at all.... Well I paid my money, and didn't get what I wanted, and I am mad, but after all, you did say it was going to be everything that I wanted.
I: Certain people think that a certain program can exist without happy people and happy creators, well I'm quite interested in seeing how long that lasts.

Where would this Articles page be at pray tell Shane ?. They have changed the COC it now obviously works both ways as one of the offenders is now missing in action for a wee bit.
Cheers Mick.
