Board War

[Dark Jaguar]

I just fired off an e-mail instead.

Your banning was fully justified, and in fact the goal.



The latter may indicate my identity.



I am in fact one of the “armies” that raided your board in the midst of the night. You refer to our mess. Sorry.



Now onto an explanation. Actually, we collectively have no problems with ice-9. The tone of my odd martial arts movie based post was jocular, I assure you. Basically we found this board where our old admin had taken off to long ago and decided to say a very interesting “hello”. Rage wasn’t our goal, just temporary amusement, for everyone there, but mainly the ice man. Be assured, though our tactics intentionally mimicked those of the standard idiot troll who’s goal is to annoy, that was merely part of the gag. Also, not a one of us actually hates Virtua Fighter (well maybe a few). I myself actually own one of the games, and enjoy it. You must admit, some of that stuff was pretty funny.



But, this is all a moot point. We were banned, I’m fine with that, we deserved it, we expected it. We aren’t going to “use” the situation to label anyone as evil or a tyrant.



The purpose of this letter is merely that of clarification, and to deliver one message. A small request on our parts is this, and simply this. Add an addendum to this thread (http://virtuafighter.com/versuscity/show...e/0#127880) wherein you make clear our goals. Berate our childish ways as you see fit, for that they were, but let ice-9 know our goals were merely in jest to get his attention. You may do this in PM if you wish as well. Either way, add one more thing. This method of contacting us should he wish to. http://www.tcforums.com/



In conclusion, PEACE OUT YALL!

To which this person responded thusly:

Thankyou for taking the time to email me, and somewhat explain your
situation. I will pass on your message to Jeff privately, as I don't think
the entire site needs to hear it. Also, I wouldn't like to see any vfdc
users visiting your site with their own plans for revenge.

I still find it hard to believe that you went to all that effort just to
get Jeff's attention. An effort which effectively vandalised and defaced
the forums of a website that *I* alone administer (not Jeff). Instead, a
simple, single PM could have gotten his attention, much more effectively I
might add.

Anyway, I hope you guys reach some kind of resolution.

Resolution? How odd, did he not quite buy that we had no real beef with him?

It would seem he also considers our actions "defacing". The odd thing is, going strictly by the rules, SOME of our posts were actually obeying them. I won't press that point myself though.

Here's that e-mail address in case anyone else wants to, contact... this guy.
