Still gone. Wow. v2's demise is an ideal object lesson in why politics isn't a good mix with entertainment themed message boards.

slaz people are asking about you over in V1 I appreciate that! My fear about joining that forum is that it’s too politically slanted—but I do see a lot of good people there, including sdrew. I’m thinking of registering there under a different username, just for a fresh start kind of thing. If I can figure out a good one to use!

Everything is politics today. And popular media franchises are fertile ground to prosecute the never-ending culture wars.

I ain't lettin' that in.

Yeah it was pretty nutty and things got heated, but hey it’s a part of the internet. Besides, to me it’s just a cover for JC being bitter that the board was functioning w/o him. In theory anyway, as from what I heard elsewhere, he never really relinquished control and had a sock account. Allegedly, from what I heard, someone got wise and it wasn’t very long until v2 went kaboom.

The v2 admin sounds like a genuine sociopath.
Who deletes a decade-old+ message board -- FOR REAL -- on April Fool's day? That was a total FU to everyone who'd ever frequented that board. Imagine the hope some felt, thinking it was all a prank and that the board would return the next day. I have no regrets about stepping away when I did.

The man let genuine doxxing and death threats which happened in public topics on the (equally public) boards occur and never deleted any of them, nor punished those who did the doxxing or threatening. Except Formersam and that daisyb person, oddly. That stunt with using pictures of DC-Fan's deceased brother wasn't even the worst thing I ever saw happen on there, but it was the one that received punitive action.

Isn’t that the magic word Billy Batson uses to turn into Captain Marvel Unnamed Superhero Now Starring in Some Really Bad Movies? I wouldn't say really bad. Heck, at some point I bet we're talking about Shazam as an underrated franchise.

Man am I glad I went through my 'drama' phase on the old imdb. I paid zero attention to most of any of this lol. I went there to talk about movies, tv shows and the occasional sports balls.

Most of us didn't want the drama, but there was an in-group of people who were supported by Admin John who just hated anyone who liked the "wrong" kind of movie and made it their mission to troll and harass those "plebs" in any way necessary to make their time on V2 unpleasant. I was eventually just driven off and forced to start Knowhere when it got bad enough.

I was eventually just driven off and forced to start Knowhere when it got bad enough. I gotcha. Trolls will troll. The closest i came on imdb2 was someone (i honestly dont remember the poster) tried to prod me by claiming that me finding Emma Watson attractive somehow made me a pedo. This was at least 2017/2018 so Emma wouldve been almost 30 at the time. I just laughed it away but I remember another poster (rest in peace Sulla) messaging me privately asking me what the hell they were babbling about. 10 years ago I'd have been neck deep in it just for the lols. But the doxing and stuff of that nature really made me wary of diving in too deep.

Glad that was all that happened to you, though. I'm glad you have the sense to know what "Too far" is and that you care about that line.
