i also managed to get the link using that! (i think it was thrashqueen ?) thanks!
i used to lurk hard on gg and only messaged with one user (hi, loststars!) who tried giving me the link last week when it was turned into "the site that shall not be named" and now she messaged me again today with the link turning into notaytguru .com
i stopped receiving emails about messages or my subscriptions and now i also see that i can only receive messages but cannot send anything because it says: "We are sorry, but you are not authorised to use this feature. You may have just registered here and may need to participate more to be able to use this feature"
aside from all the mod drama, these things are bothering even for a low key lurker; gg has become a strange place

i think i'd rather completely ditch that place and move on to here!

What i didnt know is that, when someone becomes a mod he is removed from that list automatically(?) because you have to suffer seeing their posts. I learn something new every day
ok i can understand why a mod's post should be visible to everyone but still....

Well, if that post is intended to shade me, then I already said I'm no saint and like my lolz with the Gleamers threads lol. It doesn't strike me as interesting in so much as people liking different things different amounts. To be fair, Deppy imo have more respect and appreciation for their audience and treat them better than someone like Alfie does.
Did not noticed yours, I will look up next time

I think that is the danger of daily/frequent vlogging, one opens up too much to the viewers.
are clever with their DITLOs which are themed and focused and edited to cut off their shortcomings.

Welcome! "Strange" in an understatement for the STSNBN
site that shall not be named. I always felt awkward there (actually, I always feel awkward) but there was a general air of condescension and dysfunction. When the banning, dictating, hypocrisy started, I really thought that was it for me. I was so ecstatic to see
trashqueen's link. This forum is great. The admins/mods have put a lot of effort into making it feel like "home" (down to the comforter-style banners)

So glad you found us.

I will always give a look to the D&P gg thread at least once a day. So if someome start posting some trash I will ignore it and post something positive.
Also I have hotmail and my activation mail was send without problem

lmao how is every variation of the link changing? Even if you space the words out (without dashes in between)? They REALLY go to extreme lengths, it seems that as long as you mention the word 'bants', it gets censored.. what on Earth
Are they that mad because they lost so many active users or what? Wow.

Guess not, if he seems to think the board will load faster with all us gone. Even though I just got errors twice trying to find that quote and they literally had to make about 150 different versions of ways to mask the link to IDB and making it look like spam so people couldn't find us

It's kind of hard to keep track of who has been banned/unbanned/whose posts have been restored/deleted since the first archival.
idk what i show up as anymore, but i'm still banned (IP banned, it tells me). I still don't know what for, other than being here.
I also can't make another account because neither of my activation emails came through, on 2 attemps. (with throwaway gmail addresses, and an IP proxy). i gave up a week and a half ago. never been happier.
congrats
sweetmm, but (sincerely) goodluck. that place is a toxic highschool run by sad little children.

My name isn't red anymore, but if you click on it it says "this user does not exist." When I use my password it says, "You have specified an incorrect password." When I attempt to reset my password, it says, "Your account has not been activated yet."

Mermaid I don't really moderate much as I only hang out at the non guru section. Just remind posters of the rules if I come across renagades
Oqua I think there is a time period for those banned, someone here mentioned they receive a 3 weeks ban?

My username was unbanned, but Morgan seemed cranky about it so I'm never posting again incase he changes his mind and bans me randomly. One of my IP's is still banned though so I can rarely login anyway. I only use it to read the Gleam trash threads now.
At least we have this place now. I'm SO happy with how successful it's been! Eeeee!

When i click on you everything is normal. That's odd even for GG.
oqua's account still says it doesn't exist when i click on it. Just like mine.
Btw, i PM everyone who posts in the thread. That sounds like i'm mental, but almost nobody posts there anymore, so it's really just a few minutes a day. If that. And i also don't try to rip them away from GG, i just inform them of this new forum since we can't post the link in the thread.
It's satisfying to see people pop up here.
I still copy my posts before i post them smh

Same! What's really strange about my situation is that I haven't posted ANYTHING on gg since the whole situation happened, haven't shared any opinions, just sent the link to IDB to some users via PM to let them know we're moving here and thanked the glorious "lol bye gg" post. Do you guys think GG banned me for clicking the thank you button?? Or maybe they somehow read my PMs? If it's the second, it's fucking creepy, are they even allowed to do that?

I also sent some PM's around about IDB and I can still access my GG account, so I doubt it was the PM's. Did you have the same username on there as you do on here?

I don't think that is the case though, because after the initial threat, nothing happens at all to my account. I like Fel's post, and one of the post from rants thread, even give a few people the link to this website.

angrymob, yeah, I had the same username! Can you please check if my account still exists?
swofro, this is all very very strange, I dunno what to think! I've sent several requests to resend my activation letter/send the password over this week but my email is still empty, no letters from gg at all.

yeah it's probably why, deerly. unfortunately they can do whatever they please. they make the rules, and they altered the rules to fit their actions which is why we all moved.
i managed to request a new password and the link in my email brought me to a screen asking me to change my email, which i've never seen before, as the board was having 'issues' with it. which i've now done, and left a parting message in the deppy thread... bizarre.
i hope they enjoy my critique before banning me properly this time, the cheeky little penis sausages.

"The requested user does not exist."
Nope, you seem to be gone. I wonder if having the same username might be why some poeple are disappearing. I used a different name here and I've not had an issue at all.
EDIT: Besides the site being tremendously slow right now. Like slower than it was when we were on there, that's for sure.

They're even nastier than I thought..
I tried to request a password one more time and this time it told me "Your account has not been activated yet." but when I try to activate my account NOTHING HAPPENS. They could at least ban me properly, I would be even proud! When they deactivate accs instead of banning it looks kinda cowardly
Thank you for checking,
angrymob! Haha they really are miserable jerks if they go that far as going here to check and compare our usernames. Don't they have better things to do with their lives?

Idk, but I use the same username with the same avatar but nothing happens on my account at all. I am still able to login and read gleamers threads. Maybe it was because I gave them no room for framing me for any misconduct on the forum but if they went as far to ban you who also did nothing, then I don't know anymore. :wtf:

They really are so inconsistent, it's confusing. I was either banned because i'm here under the same name (and in the beginning i had the same avatar) or because i was sending PMs with a link to IDB to people.
(I also didn't post anything that could be used to "frame" me)
The only consistent thing is that nobody was warned before being banned
