Some insight

[cheesierthanchedda]

So, my mom is a message board poster. And something VERY VERY similar happened to a site she was a regular on, complete with mass exodus to Proboards. I told her about all TN stuff b/c I knew she would find it equally as hilarious as I did. She had some insight too.

One problem we have encountered with PB is that if someone complains about posts directly to the PB site owner, because the mods on the new PB board don't handle a dispute to their liking, PB will just threaten to close the new board - they can't be bothered with mediating disputes.
And there will be moles from The Nest management who come on the PB site to instigate disputes, trust me.
For this VERY reason.
Because of this, we CANNOT say ANYTHING about [other site] on the PB site - references to stupidity happening in our absence on [other site] have to be deleted for fear of being the basis for complaints from [other site].

Iiiiiiiinteresting.

I propose that we call our "other site" FUS - fucked up site

[speckledfrog]

Also, I propose that any pussy that complains to PB directly gets banned.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Now every day I will live on the edge of panic, that someone could shut us down at any moment.

Curse you for spoiling my complacency!

We'll always have ivillage as a super emergency backup.

Or, you know, we could just keep making new proboards. This one was made in a day!

Not spoiling! Warning. So preventative measures can be taken.

Also, note that she didn't say the PB owners would shut it down, just that they will threaten to do so.

Someone should make a contingency PB. GBCPB.

But...but then what happens if THAT one gets shut down?

Boards upon boards upon boards!
