Hello everybody. I believe my profile essentially covers who I am. If not, I'll entertain further questions. Not usually one to visit "teen sites", I made a rare exception, and indeed joined in this case because I was impressed by the quality of the customization done to this site's copy of vB. As a fellow vB admin (which is how I found you, on vBulletin.org), and one who is indeed a bit mod crazy himself, I couldn't resist joining. Since registering I've noticed some drastic alignment issues with the skin, some spelling errors, and a few other areas or question, though I'll address those in a separate thread in the suggestions area sometime soon. That said, this forum looks to be quit good, so I look forward to posting here.

Yeah I notice the Alignment errors and the odd Spelling Mistake sometimes. Just don't always get around to sorting them out.

Anyway welcome. ;)

Thanks Asi9ine. As to TAZ, that's a subject that should generally not be mentioned around me. Though right now Howard (aka TheSandman) and I are on good terms, lets say we've had a history plagued with problems. Lets just say that for a while, I was the biggest thorn in his side, and when he has another mood swing, may well be that again.

Haha, its bound to be a sore point in that case. Don't forget, you are running a rival forum now.

Ive not had a good experience from there with the partners I have found (refer to PM) but some have had a good time. Each to their own.

But its good to have you here. Enjoy yourself here mate.

EDIT: The link in your sig is broken.

Thanks Asi9ine, I fixed the link in the sig. Still, the site is running a little slow. Time to clean up the templates and do a db dump again.

Now, as to the point you mentioned, it was actually the plans to open AN which helped to smooth things out. He and I were on bad terms. And, knowing what I was capable of, decided that avoiding a massive conflict was best, so he extended a hand of 'friendship', which I figured I ought to, at least for the time being, accept. The actual troubles go back to the launch of Best-Board.com, when he banned me because the owner made me a VIP member (as he knew me from TAZ). And of course since then, its only gotten worse, as Best-Board.com ended up being sold to a bitter enemy of mine who was, at the time, a ranking TAZ staffer, and still is, a close friend of TheSandman. So really, at the moment LeeD is more of an enemy of mine than anybody else. The ass paid somebody to hack our server, and failed several times. He also blackmailed our sponsers. Thankfully, they were quickly replaced.

I cant help but wish that A-N is a success in that event, to make sure you don't have to suffer from Internet politics for the whole time you wish to be a Forum Administrator. Best of luck with it, and my offer stands. I run a large sized forum (almost at 9000 members now) and I know the difficulty encompassed in one. I hope that your differences with Sandman are resolved in the future.
