Adam and Josh started a board and invited everyone on Pulse to join, seemingly except for the members of this board. A couple of people were banned before even registering.

That marks the third time I have ever been banned and surprisingly after a good solid 6 years of message boarding on multiple message boards (Im a junkie) they were basically all by the same two people haha. I didnt think Hector and Kiki would be a part of that.

I just joined to see if I was banned. I was pretty sure I wasn't, but with Pulse you never know.

LOL, I also logged in to see if I was banned. Because I seriously didn't understand what I would've done to get banned automatically. But I wasn't.

Ooh, they banned me too. Hehehehehehe. Yeah, you blew it with your "Where are the good moderators" comment (which couldn't have come more timely, btw.) I don't know if they banned my name there, but they did not ban my IP, despite several others whom I've talked to that have had their IP banned. It's ironic how hard they begged for forgiveness and a second chance following their demotion, when they're so unwilling to give others they disagree with a second chance themselves. I had a look at their board the other day and out of the 114 members they had, there were maybe 3 of them who I'd considered inviting to this board, and a lot of members I'd never heard of or don't even care for. So while it's obviously their intention to kill Pulse off, I personally think they're doing more good than harm because most of those members contribute a whole lot of nothing. So I'm happy for 'em. I knew they'd shrivel up and die without their power, and since I wouldn't wish death upon anyone, the best case scenario is for them to have their power, and us to have a board lacking their power. And now that's exactly what's happening.

More pulse related message board drama, yay!! [/specialed]
I don't think I really need to take the time to sign up there to see if I'm banned or not.

I'm surprised I wasn't invited to this new board, but it appears I'll live. I don't know if they banned my name there, but they did not ban my IP, despite several others whom I've talked to that have had their IP banned. I don't know who your ISP is, but many ISPs don't give you a static IP, which makes an IP ban useless. Most dialup and DSL providers give you a different IP address every time you sign on. I don't want to get too involved in message board drama, but the engineer in me is curious about this: How do Adam and Josh know people's IP addresses before they sign up? Wouldn't they have lost access to that information when they left Pulse? Good luck in the Pulse moderator election by the way! I think it's interesting that two of the "offspring" board moderators (you here and Disco Dude over there) are in the running for Pulse mod too now.

That right there is exactly why Kiki Mets isn't stepping down at Pulse (in my opinion); she's the final link to a whole board's worth of potential IP's to ban. They ban so many people there, that in case someone actually does something to that board, it'd be almost impossible to catch that person (or persons) because there'd just be too many suspects. And BTW, I think I'm actually going to endorse you in the running for Pulse mod.

Go Slinky!!! I think its odd kiki isnt stepping down as admin for pulse as well. Its kind of like...I know the boards DONT have to be enemies, but it seems like a conflict of interests or something. And I dont know if I like that she is using powers she has at Pulse to allow them to IP ban members on another board that seems targetted at being a new Pulse Unless she is not and they just had all of our Ips addys memorized or written down, which would be kind of creepy. Not that I would have joined anyways-just from the most active members at that board, I would hate it **hugs Pulse tightly** And SMB-for some reason this is like the illegitimate child you cant help but develop affection for....

Slinky for pulse mod 2005 And BTW, I think I'm actually going to endorse you in the running for Pulse mod. Thanks guys (and girl)! I don't think it's fair to level accusations at Kiki though. Adam or Josh might have had the info in their browser cache, or they might have had some Pulse pages saved from when they were mods. We just don't know.

Kiki is moderator at both boards. She's prolly the one that deleted my post I made about soundcheck last night on Pulse. I posted a link to it and asked why Hector lied to us when he said he was leaving the internet for a bit. He was actually just leaving Pulse.

If you look at his posting history on Sound Check, his last post was November 20. His post on Pulse about leaving the Internet is dated November 21.

It's a known fact that Kiki, Hector, Josh, and Adam all shared the same agenda as administrators at Pulse. I personally think everything that ever went wrong with Pulse begins with Kiki becoming an administrator. To put it briefly, before Kiki, it was about the music. After Kiki, it was about the rules. They also made KingLUKE an administrator there. LOL, I'll bet it's because of one thing and one thing only: We should go over there with fake names to jokingly diss Amy and then maybe we'll ultimately get access to their private admin forum so we can read all the nasty things they're saying about us. ;D. Yea, we're illegitimate! But seriously, I'm glad you're staying, and I hope everyone decides to stick around. I think this board has been great so far and hopefully we can keep it going. It's been around a month and a half now, and despite over half of our members having been deemed a "troublemaker" in one way or another, we haven't needed to ban a single member, or lock a single topic. What's wrong with you guys; you're supposed to be part of the problem! .

That's because they went through and invited everyone who didn't speak up about what a horrible horrible job they were doing as administrators.
Ha, I've been banned also. And crash already covered all three of the things that I was gonna say. (What TLCfan and KingLUKE22 said and KikiMets staying.) Oh, a fourth thing too... go Slinky! ;D

Adam or Josh might have had the info in their browser cache, or they might have had some Pulse pages saved from when they were mods. We just don't know. Thats actually completely true...I mean, I may be cynical and expect her, but none of us know for a fact so we shouldnt level accusations just yet. I immediately thought of Hector as well...but I dont get why he would lie on Pulse. Like...it would have made sense to just say I dont think I agree with Pulse anymore, sorry or something, not lie. So I dont think he lied. And if he did, that was just weird lol. You get extra points for knowing that Im a girl Anyways, crash's comment is amusing to me. I would say the vast majority of the active posters on this board were deemed the horrible disruptive evil troublemakers....yet this board hasnt had a single problem. And its not because we are all friends-I still havent spoken to most of you on a personal basis. If we are such evil troublemakers just looking to cause drama, why isnt this board one huge bitch/dogfight Then again, maybe we havent had enough time. Pulse has seemed very calm to me lately as well...after the outburst with the admins thing of course. So...in conclusion, go Pulse and SMB!

And it's not like I joined here to make a statement or anything. It just seemed like a cool place to discuss music. I'm not sure how that put me on Adam and Josh's bad side, but I've never discussed them at all publically in the past, so that must have been it. I was considering saying something about them last week, but I didn't see the point in alienating two people who had always been fairly nice to me. It didn't seem like there was anything to gain by taking sides when the problem had already resolved itself and new moderators were being chosen. Ah, well. It's drama. Time to move on, and I'm not going to bother holding grudges. I'm going to be visiting relatives Thursday and Friday, so make sure you keep signing up new usernames and voting for me on Pulse in the meantime. (Yes I'm joking. Don't do that. )

Make that four people who have already been banned from that place.
I just noticed Josh deleted himself from there. Not that I could care less one way or another, but what's up with that?

Yeah, I remember them something, but it was like last year when I told them that it was ridiculous to move a certain topic to Nostalgia when it referred to a chart, as mentioned in the description of the chart forums. That's not the same as telling them how they did as administrators. But then again, I didn't join as a form of protest either But while I wasn't invited there, I wasn't banned. But I hardly even look there for content. I only made one post, LOL.

Yeah, I can't quite see why anyone would join a message board out of protest.
I hadn't much of a clue though that this was all going on, till I got invited here. But since I am here, its nice to know that its only a select few at pulse that I believe are absolutely retarded.
