If I had multiple user names here on OPE, would that be frowned upon? Would it be considered breaking the rules?
Lol
You make an excellent point.
Long complicated story about that....but I'll condense it best as I can.
Darin got pissed at me over us starting OPE. He didn't actually ban me from AS, because I had like 36,000 posts, and a *s-wordload of content that he thought contributed to the forum. So, he put me on "read only". That way it didn't look like I was banned to any of the members, but I couldn't post, or use the PMs.
Of course, I was sorta pissed too....so I created El Moobs, and used it to message him to ask WTF???
He never replied.
I used that profile for awhile, but not that much. He knew about it, but didn't really care.
Then Tony K (a moderator at AS) joined here, and messaged me about things common to each site occasionally. Who did what to who sorta stuff. Tony is good people. I asked him to talk to Darin about my Mastermind profile. I got regular emails telling me that I was getting PM messages on that profile that I couldn't reply to, or even read. Tony then suggested that I start the Mastermind Worksaws profile and use it. That way people would message me via that account. So, I did.
Years go by. Darin sold AS. I started getting messages from the new owners. I asked them about straightening out my old account. They were cool with it until they realized that I was an administrator at opeforum. Then, they stopped replying to me.
I forgot about it for awhile....till I looked up my 261 thread for a customer. That's when I showed my ass, and got all my accounts banned.
Thats as clear as mud I hope.
