This board isn't "elite" and if I come off seeing that way sometimes, it's |
only because people are getting half the picture of what I'm doing. |
Ok, so I deny Lex Luthor access to this board. That's all you people seem |
to think about. The actual denying of access. You think, "How can he do |
that?! What gall! He must be a real egotistic bastard to think that Lex |
Luthor isn't good enough to be on this board!" If you think that, and most of |
you have thought only that, then you're fucked in the head. |
Yes, I realize who these people are! Yes I know their reputations and how |
they are renowned for their skills as hackers and phreakers... But like I |
said before, that's not the issue. It never was. I *KNOW* how good these |
people are. I *KNOW* about their reputations and I respect them for it, but I |
don't care. That's not why they've been denied access! |
When I deny someone access to this board it's usually for one of two |
reasons; |
1) They left a false voice number or |
2) They either blew off or left really crappy answers to the filter. |
Personally I'd be thrilled to have Lex or Silver Spy on the board... and |
any of a number of people. But these people can't find it in themselves to |
trust me. If they can't trust me, then I can't trust them. It's as simple as |
that. |
I'm not about to let anyone on this board that I can't trust. It's not |
fair to the other users, and it's damn stupid of me. I run this board the |
best way I know how. I do what I do in respect to new user validations |
because it's the best way, through trial and error, that I have found to |
handle it. If people can't respect the way in which I choose to run my board |
then I'd appreciate it if they never called. And when regular users of my |
board start questioning the way I do thing, and telling me that I'm WRONG for |
doing things the way I believe they should be done, then I really start to |
wonder what the fuck I'm doing it for at all. I'm not a quitter, and I don't |
like the idea of giving up and taking down the board. I'm going to run this |
board the way I think is best, and I'm not about to conform to what other |
people think I should do. |
I've probably stepped on some toes and offended some people with this, but |
that's just too damn bad. I hate fighting the topic but I'll fight it if I |
have to. |

You're known for an explosive temper, PW as well as sometimes being extremely |
irrational. My policy is to let people on the my board with voice numbers |
only. Through the history, I've made maybe 5 exceptions. Some of 'em include |
Lex, Spy (at first), Tabas, Videosmith, and Phucked Agent 04. Now, I never |
got anything out of PA04 because he got a "call" soon after he got on the |
board, but the rest of the members have contributed extremely well to the |
board. I just made sure I knew it was really them by referencing and cross |
referencing. |
If your morals are that unbendable, PW, then you need to relook at the purpose |
of this board. If it's to spread phreak/hack knowledge as you said on the |
phone, then to have those people on with the experience that they have would |
hardly hinder the board. I seriously doubt anyone would feel offended if any |
of the forementioned people got on here without leaving a valid voice number, |
being that they're not on any other board with a voice number. |
I know that Lex is not giving out his number to even the best of his |
friends. Spy is really careful about it these days. Not so sure about |
Kerrang but he's travelling about now so he's not in one place for too long |
nowadays. It's your board and I was trying to give you some constructive |
criticism, but you took it the wrong way. You don't have to claim you're |
ELITE to be elite. Elite merely means that you've got the respected members |
of the community on board. Well, you've got 'em. If you don't like it, I |
suggest you go through and purge the log like a big dog. Actually, fuck it. |
I'm tired of getting into arguments for trying to help someone. Feel free to |
delete my account if you feel that I've not contributed enough information to |
the board, or if you've rethought the purpose and decide that it's not for |
what I've contributed, dump me. Fuck dis |

I'm glad that some people agree with me on this. I can understand Lex's |
point of view, too. I can also remember a time when I myself refrained from |
giving my number to any sysops. But... I've changed my point of view |
considerably after living the Sysop life for well over 1.5 years. Now if I |
ever wanted access to a board, and the Sysop of that board asked for my voice |
number, I'd give it to him. |
I've given Lex access to this message base for a short period of time so |
that he can check out the discussion. He called me voice the other day and we |
talked for a while about this whole biz. I'd like him, and Spy, on the board, |
and possibly they'll change their minds. If not, that's cool. I'm just going |
to let the whole thing kind of slide from here on out. If they change their |
minds, great... Well, Adios. |
