I deleted them myself by accident. I discovered if I delete them before they're read, they don't get read!
I honestly believe now though, that Banni can't fool with PM's.
Yep, I'm not a liar. Congratulations. Even offered to give Colonel Taylor a tour of administrative functions, of course he doesn't want to, he's just bitching and knows there is no substance.
So....do I get my status back? I think I've proved by now that, despite the underhandedness of my actions, I'm no sleazier than the one who is at the center of this controversy. At least now, I have some degree of satisfaction. My ♠ in the hole and all that....
You're status? Not sure what you mean.
At any rate, you're much sleazier than anyone else. Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt Roland or Taylor would have done the same thing, but at least they aren't bragging about how much of a butthole they are. If I had to guess, I'd say Roland is probably the one that offered money for the ID. Here comes the reading PM conspiracy if I guessed right.

"At any rate, you're much sleazier than anyone else." "It's adorable" that you've included all here as being sleazy. I'm just the sleaziest....yeah right. We know who has destroyed your BlueRidgeDebate forum; you're just to wussy to admit it. BRD and CPF were both created when the BRN and GoUpstate folded their forums; both took off with great success. Your forum membership began to dwindle dramatically as Vrede continued to lash, bash, and belittle. CPF, otoh, enjoyed, and still enjoys, an ever growing increase in membership because the Admin doesn't allow from either side of opposing opinions. You, OTOH, have allowed Vrede to run rough-shod over any and everyone who dared to differ in political, religious, non-religious, or homosexual subjects. You too. my friend, have reaped what you allowed to grow. Own it.
"Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt Roland or Taylor would have done the same thing, but at least they aren't bragging about how much of a butthole they are." To fight an asshole, one must be an asshole.
"If I had to guess, I'd say Roland is probably the one that offered money for the ID." T'would be a wrong guess. To be honest, I was surprised my self at who it was; and...it wasn't a "con".

By the same thing you mean posting an ID, pictures and work places of folk. You are slow aren't ya? vrede already did this so thanks for finally admitting he's a butthole. Did you forget vrede has already tried this other times by following IP addresses and posting them? Then also spent time looking for pictures of Gene with his work place once he found his name. And you call others slow.
[quote="Vrede too"
Yep, you sleuthed my ID, something no one has ever done to you, and knowingly put my job at risk because you're such a crybaby when you can't hold your own in a debate. Since I have no way to stop your tantrums, the risk was removed. Man up and own it.

But you did it to Gene with pictures and his place of work. You mean his job isn't as important to him as yours?
What you did was even SLEAZIER because you did behind his back and he wouldn't have known where any complaints would have come from. At least Mr.B had balls to do it to your face! You didn't!

While I'm on a whining roll, let me add this to my prior post. Above, I had written "Your forum membership began to dwindle dramatically as Vrede continued to lash, bash, and belittle..." In my PM to you, I brought up the fact that those who left were not only "cons", but those that you enjoyed as fellow liberals as well...you know I'm not lying about that, and those of you who are left here know as well that I'm not lying; no one wants to man up and step up to agree with me..
All you have to do is take one look at the names still listed as members on your membership roll for the proof. Members: 86 registered
In the past, I had a few of your fellow libs send me PM's telling me they appreciated my standing up for my religious beliefs, and though their views on homosexuality differed from mine, they were tired of the anti-religious and God-bashing garbage that you and the others were posting. Others left simply because they were tired of Vrede's dominating every subject and thread and constantly berating other posters with his acidic and hateful remarks.
So Banni....your forum success lies in what you do with it. Keep Vrede around and be satisfied with your little circle of 5-6 with the same mundane opinions, and possibly one day yourself be outed by his "I'm #1 attitude", or put a leash on him and hopefully watch your forum restore itself.
Vrede once mentioned that he offered to help pay the costs of maintaining this forum...so is that it? Is that why you won't put Vrede on a leash? Does Vrede own this forum as well as you?
What I did didn't come to me in an instant. I pondered over it for weeks before I made my decision. Perhaps it's time for you to make a decision about whether to dissolve this forum or make a move to hopefully allow it to achieve the success it once knew.
The decision is yours, and I know it won't be an easy one.
It's exactly as I stated. Without going directly to the database there is no user interface for reading any private messages.
So what forum do you moderate on so that I know not to send PM's on?
Well I was finally bored enough today with the rain and decided to do research on the PM subject even calling some one.
I read YOUR link and it very clearly says you can read PM's.
I wouldn't because I'm not computer literate enough or wouldn't care to do so or even know where to start but some here who were given complete access to do whatever he wanted and is dirtball enough to spent time posting IP's to names and searching for pictures of folk would make the time to learn how to do such a thing. I did other searches and from what I get anyone with computer savvy or the will to be dirtbag enough can do it.
Anyone who has access to the database and knows what s/he is doing can read PMs. But there is no built-in admin function to phpBB 2 or 3 that allows Admins or Moderators to view PMs.
however, there are several mods that would allow admins to browse PMs, and a user of a board has no way of finding out if such a mod was installed.

I stated that. No need to reiterate. I'll make it larger so maybe you can find it this time.
