<blockquote>Khyron: and the mails he sent prove it.</blockquote><br>Yes... A while back Khyron found back the three page long hate mail he had received from Maxx. He quoted a part of it, and it was so wrong...<br> <blockquote>and people who mention BANNED people get banned themselves if it shows up</blockquote><br>I didn't get banned when I did that. Well, I did take another approach though. See, I was visiting Cyborg Central one time, and saw in the FAQ the explanation for why he hated the PSDB. So I investigated, and discussed it on the PSDB... but instead of directly posting it, I posted a link to a text file with a discussion of me and Khyron, with his name censored (well, I forgot one spot). The link was removed, but the message remained there. A bit later I received an email with explanation from Browren, and wanted to close the issue with that, and linked to a text file containing it. Again, the link was removed, and that was that.<br>In the discussion with Khyron, he mentioned a poem still being on the site. Maxx then removed it, and thanked me...<br> <blockquote>Psi-Ko (psycho!) isn't banned AFAIK, but has removed her materials and has dropped off the face of the earth. Good riddance I say... >_< Some people just can't be forgven...</blockquote><br>She returned once. She had had a serious accident, and needed an operation. But she didn't have enough money. So she sold original art to try to gather enough money. I bought some of her for $20. Very nice art. I still have that page of her linked on my webring, at least what remains of it.<br>I have no problems with her. She stayed for some time on the PSDB, and then vanished again.<p>Now as for my own story...<br>I joined the board some time after all the events that OnnaWren and Khyron described. It was a happy and interesting place, I enjoyed it very much. I was member there for almost a year. But I did have some hard moments, though. There were some offensive people there too, who could make my posting life a bit hard. In the end, they were either banned (Chibi-Light), or just disappeared. From time to time I would also be offensive without knowing it, which is a facet of having Asperger's Syndrome. In the end, Maxx decided that enough was enough, and put a temporary ban on me. The discussion about the clique mentioned above took place some months before that, and I had learned quite a bit about who Maxx really was. So I decided not to come back, and sent an email back to Maxx explaining why he was a bad admin.<br>That was it. Somewhere in the middle of my PSDB life, I had joined Phantasy Star Cave when the board was back, while the site itself was still in one of those long updates. This time it was a server move. After being banned from the PSDB, this place became my new Phantasy Star home. It was quite a nice place. There was more discussion about the little things of Phantasy Star, humorous threads, nonsense threads, all in great fun. It was a community without moderation that called on your common sense. There were some fights, of course... But it was a great place. This still is a great place, but the tone has been lowered.<br>As for the PSDB, some time after I left, the place began to decline. It received less posts, and there was less talk about Phantasy Star.<br>PhanGarrett still mentions my name from time to time, as do some others, but they don't get banned.<p>Missagh deserves our praise. He does what he can to make his users happy, and makes real updates to the site, even if they can take a while.<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Benoit on [TIME]1084104597[/TIME]][/size]
