Sorry to hear about the banning.

I was banned from there during the JediDefender staff purge, but was reinstated by Dustin after he and Phillip acknowledged that I have been a longstanding Rebelscum member and have a clean record over there as far as their rules go.

Hopefully I'll be reinstated as well. I've been there over 3 and a half years, and have never had so much as a warning. Ever. To be permanently banned over something this petty is absurd.

That is very disappointing to read. You are a voive of reason and your posts are always well thought out at scum.

And I wonder who would be "classy" enough to report you for such a stupid thing. Do you have any theories on who may have blown you in?

I hope you get reinstated.

That's why he was banned. ::)

I'm sorry to hear that VVD (I forgot your real name :-\). Personally I think you are better off without those forums, and hopefully we'll see more of you here. :)

Cap'n - I have a few theories. Trust me, that douche bag who reported me is SO not getting an invitation to my birthday party.

Ryan - I'm here a lot, but I mainly just read threads and don't reply. My real name is Alex. What yours? (  ;) )

Thanks everyone for the support. Hopefully I'll be back soon.

In MisterKenobi's defense, he made a thread about me on Rebelscum, even though I didn't ask him to. He can be a good guy sometimes. I know a lot of you have grudges or whatever with him, but life it too short to hold grudges on a toy forum.

Yeah, me too. But I haven't gone back since, and I don't plan on it. **** 'em.

Yeah why bother worrying about it Victor?  You do realize all our areas are incredibly active with good conversation, so why fret about getting back into a place that obviously doesn't feel you should be there?  We've appreciated you here from the first day you came on board in any capacity so my thought is you should stay... 

I, like Rob, got banned at Scum amidst just a massive glut of bannings.  I got reinstated, but that unwarranted banning showed me who's running the place and who isn't, so I have written rebelscum.com off as nothing but a resource I can use here and there, and nothing more.  I'm tempted to post in some threads to just be a voice of reason but I fight the temptation down and I stay here.  I have more than enough to talk about over here as the customs talk is MUCH more involved and interesting, the collecting talk is more mature and knowledgeable overall, and our atmosphere sparks friendship and tolerance, not bitching and moaning.

I really think you should rethink how "important" things are to you there.  But like I've always said too, to each their own.  Some people prefer the atmosphere there to here...  Opinions vary, and that's cool too.  You, like Darth Rayne, are welcome here even if you feel compelled to be active there primarily.

Jesse, you took the words right out of my mouth.

It must have been while you were kissing me. :-X

Once again, great post Jesse.  8)

Its not so much as chosing RS over JD. No matter what, I'm staying at JD. There are certain aspects of JD I like, and certain aspects of RS I like. I've never felt a need to choose one over the other.

I hear and agree with what you are saying though...

Maybe, in order to be considered respectable and legit, you have to be banned there at least once?

Alex- I want to make sure you know that it definitely was not me that reported you (I was one of the people V.V.D. graciously invited to Wampa's Cave).  I'm certainly going to check it out there, it's just my computer time has been minimal lately, so I've narrowed down how many places I go.  By the way, have you (not) enjoyed the SW Holiday Special lately :P

Have you considered the possibility that your PM wasn't reported? Admin's there are probably able to read your sent messages.

I've thought it might be this too. Even if they read the PMs, the PMs were very cordial and nice, so if some douche bag got pissed I sent him a nice PM and reported me he can kiss my ass for now on.

I'll find out within due time.

No worries Daigo, I know you wouldn't do that. Oh and thanks, I guess, for the Holiday Special. I thought we were friends - friends don't let friends watch the Holiday Special.

At what point does getting banned from Rebelscum turn from a badge of honor to a badge of shame?

For example, does getting banned multiple times equal more respect?  Or is it that the first time you're banned, that's when you earn the highest amount of respect, and with each successive banning, the respect is diminished?

Just wondering.

Well if you are Greenday it is automatically diminished. I don't know though about if you are not GD...

I'll make a pie chart or some sort of bar graph.
