The Old Board

[hazardous]

It is gone, but not forgotten ;D

I guess some of you still wanna hear the goss? It's not secret and a few peeps will already know because it's been talked about on other boards already. I'll try not to go into too much detail. Are you all sitting comfortably?...

The previous Proboard was set up by Grant after the Hostboard (remember that one?) went down. It was his baby. A lot of Glitzinet members have other projects going on outside of this board. Grant has a problem with Greg (suicidejunkie) over something that went on elsewhere, one of these side projects, nothing to do with Glitzine.

Greg showed up on Glitzinet now and then, with a news article, link to his DIYtv project, etc. Grant decided to ban him due to their personal feud. Greg complained to Spice, who un-banned him, seeing as he'd done nothing wrong on Glitzinet. She has remained impartial to preserve the integrity of the 'Glitzine' brand, in my opinion. That's what upset Grant. He thought Spice should have his back over matters that were nothing to do with Glitzine. That's why he has severed ties and is now concentrating on his own project. This all happened a couple of months ago, you may remember Grant getting upset on a thread on the old board to do with Alleycat Scratch and the 'Sober House' reality tv show.

We hoped tensions would die down, and Grant would come back, but things resurfaced on Saturday evening, when Grant gave Spice the ultimatum of 'Ban Greg or I delete the board'. For Grant it's a question of loyalty towards him, because Spice had reversed his decision to ban Greg.

Now I never saw the old board as Grant's personal thing, to me it was always a part of our community, under the Glitzine banner. But the fact remained that he set it up and still had control of the site, even though he no longer wanted to be a part of our community.

When Spice was given the ultimatum, she got in touch with me to see if there was any way we could save the old board. She wasn't at home and didn't have internet access. Thankfully, Grant only deleted the General board to begin with, which gave me time overnight to set this up and get it looking as similar as possible, so as not to cause too much disruption to our community. The rest of the old board disappeared Sunday morning, and here we are!

So there you have it. That's my take on things. Grant is now concentrating on his own project which involves rare/obscure glam videos, something that he has always had a passion for. We will carry on here.

So, over something totally unrelated to this board, he took his bat and ball home. Hmm. Can I assume he won't be joining us here then?

The door will always be open to anyone who wants to play fair.

Wow...if that isn't one of the most childish acts I have encountered.
Stace, Spice, I'm glad to see you didn't bend. One thing I detest are fucking ultimatums.

I didn't think the old board's unique hit counts and general traffic etc. warranted
anybody's preciousness. That said, it makes Grant sound even worse: we didn't have
much but you took it away anyway. Twat.

D.

[spankbreath]

any news on Grant's obscure glam video project?

although in fairness it hasa gone very quiet here...

[Stace]

No idea, mate.

It is indeed dormant here, not extinct; that's what happens when the same few people get bored (no pun intended) of being the only contributors and the other 50-or-so members find no reason to sign in and post.

If you're only conversing with a couple of people, Facebook appears to be the preferred option, although this board will stay until Proboards gives up.

What did i miss!...damn sounds like I missed something I would of been glad to contribute...haha!
