The bits I highlighted in yellow are what make me laugh, I was banned with NO REASON given. I had NO warnings during my whole time there, NO points or anything of that nature. I never even had any PM's from any mod or others telling me off for anything at all. I also NEVER sent this address to anyone at all (most people I was friends with on DIF were already aware of the SZ anyway and the rest I am friends with never had my e-mail as I just hadn't gotten around to giving it to them yet). The ONLY member on DIF that I sent my e-mail add to in a PM before I was banned was Neutrino (as he had been really kind/supportive to me because of my health) and he already knew about this place anyway and I sent him it just in case I decided to go inactive.
So what were the rule breaking reasons I was banned for I wonder

Yeah look, from memory you joined up pretty early on right, at the first site?
I cant really comment on your case specifically as i dont know all the details, but generally speaking, i do think they wanted to nip it in the bud so to speak early on, thinking they would simply get rid of us and no one would notice what they did... their tactics may have changed later when more people happened to catch on, and more eyes were on the bannings.
For the record, i also personally never tried to PM recruit anyone either on DIF, not even sent an email to anyone or asked for one. For the record none of this site was 'planned' as such in the beginning, to cut a long story short, i was told about the first free forum started by diamondgeezer, by another member, and went to the free forum to have a look.
I saw that diamondgeezer could use another hand with some of the forum settings and layout, so i offered to give a bit of my time and help, and he gave me the Administrator login. Then soon after i decided to bump up my own username/account to administrator rights as i was tired of logging in and out to go from one to the other just to change something on the forum. Anyway, on the day, well pretty much straight after, my 'novum' forum rank title (the words under your username that usually say member/senior member etc) was changed to 'administrator' , i was banned also without warning.
I honestly thought at the time, that the new little free forum would just take a bit of pressure off a big forum like DIF, which is a large established forum, and has of course the drawcard of Mr Icke and his work, and they wouldnt be fussed about it so much. Just a little corner in the online world where a few people could get away from it all now and then, and perhaps head back to the DIF when they wanted or were up for some serious debate.
But yes me being banned like that, in that fashion and manner, did piss me off a bit, well disappoint is probably a better word actually...then Frog came along, some of us put our heads and spare time together and here we are today, with a 40 page thread about our little selves over on DIF. Perhaps there is a lesson learned in that. I know the admin over there have said that thread isnt just about us, and while i respect that is true, we are still the catalyst for it, and the 'forum wars' clause and hence declaration of war, else it would have been done a long time ago.
Yet i see some actually think we are ADL or something like that, which amuses me to no end. BTW hello to rodin
About as amusing to me as reading suggestions that Limelady and pinkfreud were zionist agents also, rather than two lovely ladies just sticking up for what they thought was right at the time, whether they were right or wrong given the circumstance is subjective, but mossad agents i dont think so tim.
Others think, well blackyblue, that we are part of some diabolocal plan and are plotting to overthrow sean and sell back this forum to Mr Icke or something like that

Good for a chuckle at least. Bob Jones aint posted in a while, someone has to pick up the slack.
my 2c (again)
and honestly there is a good part of me still thinking....
