I checked over there today and there was a "rebelscum survey" post in Wuher's, which I responded to with a few of my general grievances and my reason for not being around so much anymore.Thats why I started it so that people can say what the feel and so that the mods/admins can see what the feeling of the community is. I had to do the V2.0 since they was another Survey which was moved to they feedback section and after a few more repilies there it disappeared so I figure I will start this one.
It seems that a lot of people are disenchanted with that place lately, and I thought the "survey" post was a good place to get it out there.
Maybe the mods will read the constructive criticism and take note, but somehow....I doubt it.
Well, it was a good idea, and I have now posted TWO replies to it. I'm anxious to see what people say as it gets rolling.
Before it gets deleted or moved...
Shane has a lot of nerve to say what he did. Either he's in denial, or just wants to ignore the fact that RS is in dire straits.I've honestly tried to find a place in my heart for Shane, but it seem like he's in total denial! We've had our in's and out's, but he's spewing drivel. I've gotten the same responce from a few of their mods. What is going on over there!?!?! Something is up, and they are not saying. I like how they got all offended about the Hitler reference, but yet no one took the time to look at the similarities. I guess they were too wrapped up in being offended. Oh well, I'm not Superman, and I have no interest in saving the world.
"Heck, i'm a mod and i belong to other boards but i've seen exodus's before and when it comes right down to it they never work out. "
Really. Well, I think I have 20 people, that joined JD in 2 weeks after defecting from Rebelscum that can prove that wrong.
How naive.
Just want to ask people that have been to RS and seen the thread if I'm being civil or not. Just want to make sure and see what people think of what I'm saying. I will take in comments bad or good, hopefully good. ;D
I think at last count, it was like 23 regulars.
I just signed up with this place about 2 minutes ago and I see no difference in this place and rebelscum ::), but I guess I will be a commoner here too :).
There’s another big difference between the 2 boards, but I’m wondering if I’m just imagining it. Is Angry Ewok not very angry over here? I’ve not been here long enough to really judge, but he doesn’t seem to get so ratty at JD. Over at RS, he’s always snapping at people :)

You're kidding, right? Of course, you've only been here for 2 minutes so you have no clue what kind of exact opposite JD is from RS. :P
I'm just saying it "looks" exactly the same as rebelscum. I wasn't dissing the site or anything. I am looking to switch to frequenting here more often because I like smaller communities better :). Your right I have not been here long enough to judge this place, sorry :'(. Jeez :-[.
Hopefully folks can just check out both sites, or any others, and decide what's the best fit for them personally, and enjoy spending their time there. Sometimes even a combination of the different forums works well for some people... But we'd like to think of ourselves here at JD as a community that just wants to enjoy the positive, knowledgeable, and friendly vibe that we've carefully developed here, rather than talking down about any of our online neighbors, as fun or therapeutic as it may be. Hopefully that's the style we can shoot for anyways. I know that can be hard sometimes, especially at a time like this, and it's something that we all should work on as part of the JediDefender collecting family...
Anyways, that's just my thoughts on the matter... :-*
I was over at RS oday, and it sounds like people are starting to rebel against GNT
QuoteI was over at RS oday, and it sounds like people are starting to rebel against GNT
Oooh. Now, you just gave me a reason to visit that site today.
J/K....maybe.... ;D
P.S. Josheeeeeeeeeeeee, please point me to some good things to do on the internet while sitting at work with little else to do. I'm running out of stuff to do!
I am so happy that I was invited to JD. Those people over there at Rebelscum were meanies. That's right they were meanies <sniff, sniff wipes tears from face>! But now that I've found JD my sad frown has turned upside down! I am happy! So happy and free :)
Just joking around a bit. I like Rebelscum but for whatever reason it started turning into a fight fest and this place does not seem to have that undercurrent. Not yet anyway. So, I'm sticking around here for the majority of my Star Wars pleasure time.
just made the migration. woot!
For those who don't know, Sonderkommando's were the Jews in concentration camps that the Nazi's and SS impressed to work the crematoriums. I hate to take this whole thing off-topic, but the word is frankly kind of offensive.
I just came over from Rebelscum at the invitation of JediMac. Thanks Matt.
I just felt like bumping this to see what everybody thinks about the latest flaming and the return of "Post Padding".
I left, for, well, the kindest way to say this is:
If your not somebody there, your a nobody. Thats it. I noticed Unless you have 32849384242.2 billion posts, your a nobody.
Understood, but in the same token, we don't like bad mouthing other sites here at JD, so let's try to follow the old addage: "If you don't have anything nice to say, please don't say anything at all..."
Thanks! :-*
Awww nuts! :P ;)
I like this place a lot better, and I always think to myself it would be my first and only stop if it were only more populated......
BUT THEN I think, hey...if it was more populated, it might just turn into another 'Scum.
I just wanted to stop over here and applaud OCB's work on the RS forums last night. Definitely sent a message!
Quality over quantity any day, in my books! Ranks right up there with being friendly and civil, and getting to actuallly know your collecting comrades here!
However....regarding Matt's comments about this place in comparison, I would like to see what would happen if JD finally got that kind of traffic.
I think there's a fraction of a hope that the Rebelscum forums can be turned back into the place we knew and loved (or something close to it), so I'll be visiting there regularly (for the time being). :)
plus why bother have hope for them when the better palce is the here and now?
...if conversations are limited to a "non-politcal" nature, how can you really get to know someone? I mean, it's nice to know what someone's favorite color is, or which movie they really like, etc., but to really know someone, you will eventually have to touch on "political" subjects at some point. Personally, I prefer to make "friends" with someone based on moral principles rather than one based on which figures we really like. ;) Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll "play nice," but I just thought I'd make a point.
Just the fact that most of us even know eachother by (real) name puts us way ahead of other forums on a personal level. Beyond that, many of us could probably tell you the names and ages of many members wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends, children, pets, what kind of car they drive, what they do, where they live... It goes on and on really.
I feel I should clarify a statement I made in my previous post.
"The BHC boards had failed (as they still do, very much so, even more these days)"
This comment was not directed toward the current Galactic Hunter forums, but towards the original, now RebelScum forums.
I see that Darth Kenobi's Invasion has begun.
I decided to click the link to here that is in several rebelscum member's signatures. Just from reading this topic I can see how different the community here must be compared to Rebelscum. I hope to stay here for a while.
P.S. Boy, Tom... You really let 'em have it over there at RS tonight, didn't ya'?! I wonder if Scott's started a new trend - Flash Thread Starting... :P Feel free to start a thread or two here as well! ;)

Spamming: Refrain from posting the same thread over and over (even under slightly different names, or in different forums), from posting the same reply again and again, or even posting multiple times in a row on a thread.I do not see a time limit as to where and when you can make posts. Every post I made in that time frame was of substance, asking serious questions. I see nothing wrong which violates the rules that the powers that be have laid out here. I believe because of some personal vendetta against me, these threads were locked...and again no reason was ever given for as to why other than "Spamming" which as I just pointed out is not true and "post-padding" which again because they weren't one line questions or roll-eyes emoticons were not of the sort either

Hey DJ, thanks for stopping by to check us out! Normally, things are nice and mellow, but as you've already seen - we have a little bit of "drama" happening right now. We hope to soon return you to your regularly scheduled JediDefender programming! ;)
Hope you enjoy the site, and please give us a shout if you've got any questions, comments or concerns about ye' olde JD. Looking forward to seeing you around the boards here...

It was the Episode 2-bies that ruined forums.Well, the older members said that about the Episode 1-bies, as well. I remember it because I was one. I think it's unfair to throw everyone into a barrel like that, but I have to admit - it's somewhat true.

Ok ok you've all had your fun.
All I can do is roll my eyes like so... since someone actually read something I posted and decided to make a thread about it Woohoo!
But seriously was there a need to actually start a thread on what was said? Surely you can all giggle and laugh in private without resorting to starting a thread on it. I think it's best to leave it at that and move on.
Oh and for the record I don't think a ruler or even a tape measure is big enough for my large post count
That's a suprise, really, what for?

Perhaps I'll delete all the evidence.

He probally has seen it but can't do a thing about it since he has no control over here to lock or move topics like he does at RS. I have to wonder who removed your topic asking him why he did that whole stuipid thing with the "." over a GH that you posted over at the Scum and what the reasoning behind it being removed since from what I saw of it was just asking a simple question on his action.

That topic went off-topic from the start though, sadly, when nobody would answer Durge seriously, but just sarcastically with one-line posts and a ::) graemlin. Typical.
And on a side note regarding Scum, Josh, and myself: I apologize for you having to step in on that thread about Editing over there Josh, but I think my words ring true there. I think you agree with me even. Hell, GNT agreed with me on the topic too I believe... His point was pretty valid too. That topic went off-topic from the start though, sadly, when nobody would answer Durge seriously, but just sarcastically with one-line posts and a ::) graemlin. Typical.
I will say that a large part of our community was actually built on that fact alone :P
Well, as sure as the sun does shine, I just recieved this message from Gregg:
Kneel Before Zod,
Joke or no joke I don't wish to have what I said posted from that thread in your signature any longer, while not as bad as previous quotes used I don't wish to have what I posted used as signature fodder. I'd rather contact you first to change it rather then having your signature blocked altogether which I don't want to do. So if you could remove the quote that would be very appreciated.

Signatures may not make fun of other forum members. Examples of this would include quoting a member, including something somebody said about a member, or linking to a forum thread or post that may not have been a members most proud moment.

So the quote has been added to my signiture here - I hope that doesn't break any rules.
a large part of our community was actually built on that fact alone :PTrue,but it wasn't just GNT.It was the entire meltdown of 'Scum last summer.I'd say it was about four or five ''pioneers'' that advertised JD as being the utopian site.And that's what drew me here,away from the ''Third Riech of Rebelscum'',even though they showed more Stalinistic tactics than anything.
I find it funny that he complins when it is his qoute in the sig line but, as far as I know doesn't do anything to those sig lines of others on the board that qoute other members. I been in the WandP thread from time to time and have seen it there where both sides use each other's qoutes on their sig lines. I can't find alot of it now but know a few people have qoutes about other members at the fourms there. Once again we see that Greg(g) is god. ::)
Isnt there a petition to have him de-modded?I don't know of any petition to have him de-modded over there. If there was one I would defently sign it in a heartbeat. I think that it would be hard to get such an petition on the site since alot of people who are there now don't know the GNT of a few years ago (the old CSW days of the fourms). At that time he was a post padder who ended up getting a thread closed, EZ Cheese (which lead to the EZ CHeese icon at the Scum), because another fourm member had posted in that thread about 250 times in a 1/2 hour time period. This gived this person the chance to de-thrown GNT (who setup a game in the thread of giving different titles to people who post most in this thread). GNT was of course King but he felt threaten by this other poster and went and complined to a Mod about the other poster's actions, even through GNT did the samething but in a different time period.

What does Greg(g) have on Phillip to control him over there. If you talk about Greg(g) then you are harrasing you but he can do whatever he wants and doesn't lose any of his moderation rights. I'm about ready to type up that petition asking for Greg(g) to either be removed or step down.

Scott and I both got our warnings of being banned this morning from Philip as well, for harrassing the little clown Greg(g)... ::)

This is all pretty lame…hounding out an unpaid person.
Do you get hounded on Rob, does any other mod get hounded on,Not at the moment, but if I start making a few mistakes, of Heaven forbid, expressing a few opinions, who knows? If I were Philip, I might feel a bit backed into a corner over all this.
You should have gotten an actual petition, not simply a thread saying 'Post here'... First off, you've already gotten a bunch of random comments from people who aren't interested in 'saving' RS; secondly, a lot of us have already been banned from RS, thus we're unable to post our 'signatures'.
I don't really care what happens to RS. Philip Wise doesn't give a damn about RS either, it seems.

Yes, but it will most likely be made to Philip, and not posted in that thread. ;)
Even if he isn't de-modded, which he probably won't be - At very least maybe GNT will take all this trashing to heart and try to tone it down a bit - or ideally, tone it down a lot.

His style, his attitude, his "stay on topic every 5 posts"
The thing that bugs me most though is when he pulls something out of his @$$ (Ewok Mom w/Woklings, etc), passes it off as fact/truth (usually going so far as to claim another non-scum site said it first when usually site B never said it) then ignores any critisism when he is wrong.
There are countless examples of times he states something as true when he has NO factual basis for it. Then, when he is proven wrong (OTC) or told he has things backwards, often his tactic is to delete the post that proved him wrong and edit his original post so it looks like he was right all along, thus ignoring the whole thing as JesseJames stated earlier.
ADMIT IT WHEN YOU ARE WRONG, MAN!
If you pull things out of your @$$, you are gonna get it wrong. At least be a man and say "Geez, I guess I was wrong: OTC and vOTC are different lines". Unfortunately, all we ever get are "Whatever, it's all still Saga anyway" answers at best.
Then I guess I can expect a warning to be forthcoming.
JoshEEE, you could move those threads back to the public, right?GNT can't move it out of the current area - it's not one of his sections.
You're her baby's daddy?!? :o You're GNT's dad?!? Holy $h!t!!! :o Why would you claim responsibility for that, ya' big dumbass?! :-X
And Phillip the Wise closed it.

This is not how moderators come and go in this forum
Sounds like GNT really is God.
As a form of civil resistance I've dropped out of survivor,I don't think the game can go on with two players gone,or can it?
That said, is the science fair geek pictured above really GNT, or just another Optimus Prime that someone found and decided to label GNT?
WE MAY BE ON THE VERGE OF A BREAKTHROUGH!It's probly all the peer pressure of everyone hating him.
Listen to this reply from GNT in PM.
"However,have you considered steping down from being a moderator?"
since I don't know where my response will end up I'll just say "no".
Sounds like he's thinking about it!
I started a petition page that neither Philip or Greg(g) can close. Lets see how may actually sign up.

16. HomeSkooledFan Remove GNT AND Phillip Wise. Both are arrogant and unpleasant people.I think this was my favorite signature off the petition
first off can a mod at Rs lock a profile or does that come from Philip?I have it in my GH sig line but the only way I can spread it over at RS is to post it since my profile is still locked. I think if I start spamming the board with the address I may get in big touble but I may post it in Wuhers anyway. ;D
2 philip has yet to adress me in PM or mail reguarding a few mod items. 1 Jeremy and a few actions from him and 2 a comment on my petition.
Come on guys spread the word on the petition since Phil knows it up. :)
I told him to use it as constructive not negative.
I'm talking about when antagonists make personal attacks against mods and members in their attempt to get rid of them. I'm thinking of the time some members used a picture they believed was Gregg to try and embaress him.
Well, I got a little overly excited this afternoon when I noticed that Jeremy posted this asinine nonsense when he closed one of those two GNT related Feedback Forum threads (http://forums.rebelscum.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=12;t=000630):QuoteI'm talking about when antagonists make personal attacks against mods and members in their attempt to get rid of them. I'm thinking of the time some members used a picture they believed was Gregg to try and embaress him.
I really hope that he's not being serious there, and suggesting that Scott and I made that stuff up, and that the picture of Greg(g) isn't really him... That's ludicrous. I'm actually really close to posting the entire irrefutable trail of evidence that led us directly to the doorsteps of GNT's high school Yahoo News Groups page, with several of his pictures in their art section, like the now infamous one that the whole world has seen.
Apparently Greg(g)'s still telling folks that we just made the whole thing up. In fact, it sounds like he's even denying now that he said that the picture is actually of "his cousin Greg", who is also nicknamed "The Master", just like Gregg/GNT is... Boy, the family reunions there must be terribly confusing! ::)
In fact, I was pretty much fine with Greg(g) for the most part, right up until the point he started adamantly denying the fact that we'd discovered his true (18 year old Pat Benatar with a goatee lookalike) identity. When he started screaming and crying like a frightened little school girl, and hastily editing the name under his pictures from "Gregg" and "The Master" to just "Greg", before finally just locking access to his high school's page, I lost all respect for him... Plus, the whole "I'm going to sue you guys" thing was just downright hilarious! :P
I really feel sorry for anyone that's too damned frightened to admit to themselves and others who they really are, and who has to flat out LIE to the community that they participate in, in order to feel accepted (Gregg claims to be 33). That's just sad. Since Gregg is definitely a liar (on many occassions), I'm pretty sure that disqualifies him from being "God", as he's also claimed right here. (http://forums.rebelscum.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=48;t=000441;p=2)
What a turd.
I've managed to have the petition remain in my sig line by just hyperlinking it with the text:
Check out this petition!
The biggest thing that pisses me off with the whole GNT thing is that no one is allowed to have an opinion if it is public. It seems to be only allowed in private.
BTW Tom, I'd probably just lay off trying to start new threads up over there on the matter. Not really worth it.
Well all my threads at RS have since gone away. Even though they were civil and contained no ill remarks they are gone. I love oppression ::)

Wayne,
I have already stated this but I'll do it again for you.
How I manage the forum and moderators is not open to public discussion in this forum.
People will either like it or not and stay or not.
You can have all the discussion about it in public if you like, but not in a forum I provide.
Take your crusade elsewhere.
Well that about summs up his openess to his members
That man has no sense of community, or history.
And I bet he has a small penis too.

The day that I have to register personal information with Philip Wise is the day I tell him to kiss my ass.
what is the gnt fiasco?
Who's Philip Wise?Apparently, a complete (http://www.gamevolution.it/yabbse/smilies/no.gif)
???
Please do not circumvent the language filter!
So let me get this straight:And speaking of those leaked pictures- ya might wanna see take a trip across the pond at TPU and see what they uncovered- anything catch your eye?
A mod at Rebelscum hosts a chat room.
During a recent chat, stolen Episode III images are shared.
The images get leaked to JediDefender.
JediDefender gets a slap on the wrist from Lucasfilm who starts tracking the images back to the source.
Philip (who's got a good thing going) is suddenly feeling the heat when it's learned that these stolen images came from one of his forum mods.
Consequently - like any good manager - he insists on having the personal contact info for everyone who works with him.
Am I missing anything? It seems like Philip's just covering his own ass, just like any of us might.
I really don't know either besides what was said at the time of the merger...and its not really right to speculate on said matter of what might have happened behind the scenes because we don't know ??? :-\
The day that I have to register personal information with Philip Wise is the day I tell him to kiss my ass.

Let’s have the speculation end. ;) Thanks to you know who for pointing this thread out.
Sooo...not sure if our mod friends at RS have been following the thread at the TF.N or not but I'm curious if they've thought about what is being said at all...Can LF take legal action against non-US citizens? Will I be extradited to stand trial in your country?
Here's a Hypothetical
#1 Someone leaks pics on the Rebelscum forums of Episode 3 Figures
#2 Rebelscum is sent a Cease and Desist...they remove all of
them, ban the perp and move on
#3 2 weeks later, RS's forums leak more pics, already suffering from the last blow, LFL and Hasbro sue Rebelscum and its owner for repeated discretion

Works fine for me...same old **** different day
I have Norton and will have to leave...can't have a Mod without the ability to post and there's no way I'm turning Norton off:(
They show like 9 topics per page - and threads go to the next page after what seem slike a very small number of posts - the WAP thread (your stance on it aside) went from an already outrageous 315 pages to over 1100.

You can set topics / replies per page in you profile.
But on the bright side, I did move up in the world there - from Member #2875 to #1760. Did they purge a bunch of the inactive folks, I wonder... Or did things just go that wonky with the switch?
Reminds me a lot of Galactic Hunter... Wait, this is the exact same layout as them!
I think it will take some getting used to, especially with the many paged threads.
Anyone checked the Who's Online thing? Holy cow, no wonder the forums are slow sometimes.
We definately need the old post icons back.
Like I said, it'll just take some getting used to. I'll give it about a week.
Huh? I can't even edit my last post!
And what's with the server time? It's like 7 minutes off of my PC time (I set in to +2, and it says "7:58" while my PC says "7:51". That's gonna drive me insane like it did on another forum I post at...
I just noticed the Member Number changes. I feel so... dirty with a smaller number. Is that going to be fixed?
I dropped from 156 to 143...I noticed P Diddy Wise is now Member #2 ::)
Can't even get in now. I'm on a cable modem here at the office, and I can't even get their main forum page to load. No biggie, just entertaining really.
On another note, looks like GH has followed suit and redone their forums as of this morning as well. Maybe it'll just take some getting used to there, but I liked the old design a little better. The colors are easier on the eyes now, but I don't think the overall layout/design is as "classy" as it was before. I'm sure Mike will be tweaking it a little more, so I should probably wait to pass final judgement 'til it's all finished.
Now I just despise the color scheme, and I'm somewhat peeved at the purging of the member #'s.
The W&P thread is freaking useless now
Wow..WAP isn't opening and now I'm getting timed out logging in.
Also...It says "The forum is being moved to another server. Back soon."
So...What's your take on this?
Is that why we are all over here at JD?
I'm glad you brought this up because I was thinking of starting a similar thread about people's division of time posting on all the major boards.
(feel free to give it a bump, if you'd like)
I have't posted a lot on Scum lately for a number of reasons some of them being Greg(g) and Greg(g) Jr but I enjoy the stuipdity of they fights they have.
RS is frickin' Chuck E. Cheese's. I don't know...)
Isn't there already a 'scum-bashing thread around here? Let's close this one. :P
How'd that be, eh?
...cuz I'm at least part way in.

Durge, he seems to be going for the rank of emperor now and has gotten this whole thing were he thinks he is a mod or something over there.
But it's been fun watching you youngin's "grow" over the past year or two. Seems like some pretty good improvements from a number of you guys since back when you first started. More content and quality in the posts, and I'm not just speaking about you. Keep at it, and someday you may just be mentioned in the same breath as studs like Jesse James, mosnab, Morgbug, Tydirium, and even OCB! 8)
here it seems like when every I post people just ignore it and I feel awful by posting it!

One forum just isn't enough to sh!t on--let's all come over to Jedi Defender and sh!t all over their forums, too. My idocy shouldn't be limited just to one forum!
The only things about RS that I find to be "better" than JD are:
-Vintage Community
-Other Collectibles Community
-Prop Community
-Customizing Communtiy

Oh and about the mod accusation... I don't want to be moderator,
QuoteOh and about the mod accusation... I don't want to be moderator,
I've found in life that it's very easy for one to say that one does not "want" a job after one "applies" for it and is rejected. ;)
Durge, you have made a few comments that I find to be pretty inaccurate. If you are going to bash GNT, make sure it is intelligent. Saying that he is the "biggest jackass" because he never posted in the religious and political threads is just stupid. If you want to stay out of a flame war (in most cases), you're a jackass?
You're coming over to this site thinking you are some in house name is somewhat annoying with the backup of not-so-intelligent posts that you have already made. A little bit more respect in your posts would make more sense.
Josh, thanks for coming and stating your thoughts, always nice to have someone who can balance and not be a fool. I do want to comment though, I think it is a cop out to say because Scum is a large(r) forum that it is too hard to moderate at times. Scum fails in the forum dept. as a whole (IMO) because the adminstrators can't make solid decisions and implement them.
Thanks ;D
To be fair, I think that was back in January.....and I'm sure a lot could have changed since then. :)Scum has been up since 95 so 9 years and only changes since january?

Yeah, I thought the same thing so I deleted the post. No need to be rude about it.
Not rude, just frank. :)
Durge is gone? No. No you're all lying...
I can't talk right now. :'(
I'm sure 80% of the members here will follow Durge right back over to the scum... :-\
I only visit RS for the main page news and the photo archives. I no longer post in the forums because the members act like babies, and for just about every reason listed already. Plus, I HATE the new look.
JD is the only SW forum I post at now. :)
I guess I might as well post here until the sentence has drawn out.
Thirty days? That's steep. Must've really pissed someone off. Well done. :)

Did Greg's cousing Gregg ever actually lock that checklist Scott? You should just keep updating it to annoy him, if not. 8)
Your list was up first, anyway!
Lies, deceit, and the creation of mistrust. ;)
Come on guys. Greg only does it to help the collectors. It's got nothing to do with him wanting to see his name at the top of every page.

He'd be better off owning his own message board if he feels compelled to be a "god."
I'm God, so live with it!::)
It would seem the biggest difference between Durge and Gregg is that the latter has the power to enforce his own rules.
One in the same? No. But as similar as Greg and Gregg.....maybe. :)
I think there are many significants differences between Greggypoo and I.
Sorry Durge, but we're just gonna keep the RS/Durge conversation isolated here in this one thread. No need to start an all-new "Rebelscum misses me" thread, so I merged your post here with this thread (2 posts up from here). That's already part of the topic here in this one. So carry on now...
-Greg(g)Matt
P.S. Can you imagine what Greg(g) would do if he had access to a cool "Merge" feature, like we do here at JD?!? (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/YaBBImages/merge.gif) :o
JediMac... Why doesn't your name ring a bell? What section do you post in most on RS?
But I've never heard of this "I love Kobe Bryant" jackass, so I think I'll have to heed my own advice and go do some research to find out just who that wacky character could be.
QuoteJediMac... Why doesn't your name ring a bell? What section do you post in most on RS?
This is a perfect advertisement of why people should stop and actually read a few posts in a thread before replying to everything for the sake of replying.

Nice try, but he just said he doesn't post much at RS any more.
Sad state of affairs when people don't know who JediMac is....or why his wife had to spend the night in a crate on the way to my house.
;D

Hi guys...Meesa back. I feel I need to clear the air about certain things. I might as well just keep this account as I know there will be some backlash. This place isn't so bad. ;) So the deal over at RS is that I've been banned for 30 days. I'm not sure if the reason should be discussed over here, but I can tell you that it had nothing to do with my posting habits, "moderating", etc. There was no "episode" in which I created a thread to flame a certain member that was locked, or something like that. It was a quiet "inside" kind of thing.
I guess I might as well post here until the sentence has drawn out. Who knows? Maybe this place will grow on me. Everyone else seems to really like it here. :)
-Durge :P
We don't 'cept yer kind round here! j/k
Please don't come here to flame Durge, do that at Rebelscum.
And who the hell are you? ??? ::)
And who the hell are you? ??? ::)
Just an RS member that is sharing the truth with the fine people of www.jedidefender.com.
Ok Droid Noid, we're all aware of the happenings at Rebelscum, most of us are/were members there.
The staff at JD generally is a little swifter in punishment, so if both of ya'll want to stay out of trouble you should stop, or just tone it down. Just a humble warning form a 'neutral' party.
WTF? What chaos?! I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the forums. :-\
WTF? What chaos?! I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the forums. :-\
That is what you would like all of us to believe. Thankfully, we are smarter than that.
"I wish the banning had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."
Seriously, following someone over to another board to flame them under the ruse that you are trying to "protect" the rest of the board against his "lies" is so absolutely ridiculous and childish.
"I wish the banning had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."
It's a play on the line from LOTR where Frodo says "I wish the ring had never come to me..." I cannot be held accountable if you are slow witted.
Durge, discontinue the postpadding or you'll be suspended from another forum. You're irritating me and I'm sure everyone else here as well, and when people irritate me they usually disapear. Pretend to be mature, or take your **** somewhere else.
I haven't (yet)! ;D I've only been warned once so far by Philip, for correcting Greg(g)'s dumb ass one too many times... ::)
Actually, us mods don't even have to unlock it to reply to it... ;)
Just abusing my moderating powers and trying to get in the last word. Something I learned from Greg(g). :P
You bastards. ::)
...is such a fu$%ed up thing to do.
Weird, but purging the forums there has happened before...
I could think of a list of people Scum wuld give the mod-nod to given their track record. Gen. Windu and "Peep Admiral/Yoda Boi" come to mind as people who've had a precedent set for their becoming a mod.
Josh was probably their most active mod there... I'd imagine they'll attempt a replacement soon.
GNT is tooooo much...
There mere fact that everyone of oyu dwell on GNt gives him satisfaction. I'm sure he lurkes here and everwhere else. stop mentioning him ignore him and he will go away.

Fat chance. He wouldn't go away in a million years. Under any circumstances... Unfortunately.
He needs to find a sexual partner. Other than his hand of course... ::)
I say "Meh" to the whole thing, but I shudder since I have a feeling who will become the new mods. Durge...... General Windu........ Mushimarumushu...........No, that doesn’t work. I know because I tried to ban Josh several times, but to no avail :)
Durge and GNT would probably try and ban each other
Why did you leave Rob?
And GNT locked the thread about Robz... Kinda funny unto itself. :D
Are we the only SW forum of JD, GH and RS that's doing this?
Who, me?
If they make me a mod, I'll try cleaning that place up.
You can even say Gregg is a *****.
Ooh, I got into trouble for saying things like I’m going to un-ban certain JD members :)
The other people trying to weasel their way in are rather unsatisfying....If they do get it, I'm sorr to say that JediDefender will be seeing a lot more of me.
The thing about RS is that most of the posters these days are immature kids. JD is better in the sense that most of the regulars in the community are adults. Immature adults, but adults nonetheless. ;)
I am not. But several people are floating my name around it would seem... The options are getting pretty limited over there...
That's enough to make me feel old as hell - and I'm just about to turn 24.
Why not? The reason I'm considering it is because if I don't, they'll end up with some chode like General Windu... What would be the negatives?
But again, no one's offered me anything and I'm non-committal at best right now... I really haven't given it any thought until today...
What would be the negatives?

Would that "pathetic level" be Star Wars Fansite Forum Moderator or Uber-Post-Padder at a Star Wars Fansite? Or neither? At least there is a tiny bit of respect for most Fansite Forum Moderators, unlike Uber-Post-Padders at Fansites. Those Uber-Post-Padders at Scum are pretty pathetic IMHO.

I would like to honor GNT as well. But I would prefer to give him my own award of distinction:
Most Improved Poster
For anyone who's followed my history over the past year with Mr. Emperor GNT, you'll know that this is a most surprising bit of adulation on my part, as I have often been quick to jump on him for many of his previously well documented one-liners followed by the obligatory . GNT might even suggest that I've been his arch nemesis around the boards over the past year. In fact, that's my quote about him being a Computer Posting Program that he's got in his signature line there!
But I would like to point out that over the past 2-3 months, I have seen a significant improvement in the overall quality of GNT's posts. Far fewer pointless one-liners and smiley faces, and much better, longer, more thought out and helpful posts that contribute to, rather than annoy, the whole of the community. I don't know if this has been a conscious effort on GNT's part, but it certainly shows. Not to mention his always excellent checklists and knack at breaking the vast majority of news scoops here on the boards.
I think I'm even starting to see some of his real personality coming through in a few of his recent posts. Heck, I've even seen him talking $h!t to several other members of late. And trying to run over his own grandmother with a car?! Now just try to tell me that this cat isn't starting to let go of the reigns just a little here...
So kudos to The Emperor for turning things around so drastically of late! Well done.
In closing:
GNT's first 12,500 posts...
GNT's last 1,000+ posts...
Keep it up GNT, I'm diggin' it...
wtf? dude, that post is like almost 2 years old. nothing better to do with your free time than dig through the archives at rebelscum?
DURGE
Careful, or you'll wind up on my ****list as well "Darth Vader". Talk about frauds... :-*
Good Lord. Great stuff there Steven. Ya' dumb jackass... ::)
Considering Greg(g)'s first 12,500 posts were nothing but one word and a smiley face, he started improving dramatically shortly thereafter. He added a lot more content (and news) into his posts, so yes, he was greatly improved, and not a complete waste of forum posting space anymore, IMO. He still posts 100x better than he did in his earlier days. If you had been around back then, you would likely know that.
BUT, the reason I don't care for GNT now, is because of his 'Holier than thou', "I am God", arrogant attitude, as if he's the greatest **** in the history of Star Wars forums, which couldn't be any further from the truth.
So my gripe with him used to be based on quality, now it's just personal. So, no, I'm not a fraud.
Careful, or you'll wind up on my ****list as well "Darth Vader". Talk about frauds... :-*
I always knew that JediMAC guy was a tool...now i have the proof I've been craving

It was a joke. :'(
I remember one late night on RS several years back when just Dale (DSJ) and I were online and a guy just like this showed up, but who was FAR worse as far as the stuff he wrote. He went off on Dale (and Dale's mom) something fierce. Good times! Remember D? :P
So I wonder what banned member that was.
And Durge PMed me while I was visiting the chaos...... They STILL don't know who my alter ego is, despite having Diddly Squat in my name and sig!
Oh wait, Gregggggg locked that one :'(
Yeah. I saw all that for about 2 seconds - then I went back to watching the Yankees game.
I'm all for a little excitement every now and then but that was pretty damn absurd - even for a troll.
some of it leads me to believe that one of the people responding was the same guy
It was someone who was around long enough to remember the thread where Lionell Richie and Rob Zombie were doing a duet.
Is that the REAL GNT? :o
That is Greg(g) 100% positive its him...why threaten to sue me if it wasn't? And now that his secret identity was exposed I'm wondering what he's been doing with his lifeOld Country Buffet, unless you live in Australia, Gregg can't touch you. He's banging kangaroos or something down under. :-X

it's queer how most people pin-point Wuher’s as the root of evil there, I feel that the hallowed vintage section is by far the most distraught, RS would be a lot better off without half the bizarre personalities that hang in there- “tight knight community” my ass.
ah, fantastic. i should hang around here more often.Same story here.
I just went over to the 'scum forums for the first time in a while...what a **** hole that place has turned into! One guy (the infamous General Windu) is bitching about the Dannik Jeriko figure and cursing out Hasbro over and over. what the hell is wrong with the Dannik figure? The worst thing is that he's not the exception over there.
Then you've got Gregg and his jackass useless comments every few posts. How long will it be until he is the only person posting on those forums?
Glad to have the JD forums. 8)

This link takes you to a page that illustrates the futility of trying to follow/contribute at RS.
I found the part where other people snipe your letters while you work the most amusing. I quickly turned to the dark side of taking other peoples letters because it was sooooo much more fun. Actually laughed out loud while doing it for about 15 minutes, then left.
Just like RS. ;)

Also, there's guys there that simply aren't respectable... The kind that fight just to fight, argue a point when they're wrong (Some even being proven they were arguing the opposite way in other threads), and won't back down at all... These are people that simply like hearing themselves talk, and making sure everyone else has eyes on them. Little attention from their parents, so they crave it on internet forums.

Jesse, I think I know who you might be talking about. Hmmm. Anyway.
Carpeteria: As a response to your last post, I think why most people here are complaining about scum has to do with how those board for the most part have been raped and pillaged from what we knew when it was the BHC. The diluted, watered down, annoying bull**** that goes on there is bothersome. It's hard to find decent conversations there that does not end with some assclown either making a spectacle of themselves or bitching out someone else for disagreeing with them. Plus it's all not about complaining here, we're also entertained by the hypocrisy that goes down there. People who are the worst of the worst, being welcomed back with open arms and literally treated like gods, people claiming they 're "smart" and when proven wrong, huddle in their little corner only to pop back up later on espousing their superior knowledge as if nothing happened. It's some funny stuff there sometimes.
Why people stayed with RS is a head scratcher, they were helped by the April 23rd surge of 2002 but I would think the lack of community would have driven people away
But unless you're one of the "old-timers" who was around back in the CSW days (or earlier), you likely won't even notice the decline...
It also helps if you take about a year to do deals like we did with those Star Tours figures and blasters.
Hey now, the first half of the delay was Rob not having any money at the time I had all the clones. To be fair though, the bigger chunk of time was caused by me packing up all my figures in the move and then not finding them until about a month ago.
It's just like my situation with you Matt. We're just equally lazy. ;D
But if you have clones too, I think he's still looking for some colors that I'm missing, so you two are welcome to cut me out of the deal if needed. Although I'd miss claiming the new record for longest deal ever, my armies could always use a few more recruits anyway. ;)
Oops, we're going off topic.
Ahem----eh, Rebelscum sucks! Yeah, that's the ticket.
There, now I fit in again. :P
Still, you moving and then not being able to find them, and then not having your room unpacked...
>:( Stay on topic or I'll make their newest mod Dark Kanos come over and shut this bitch down >:(
This site kicks ass for the simple fact that it's mainly a bunch of clowns here...
They apparently didn't choose me to be a mod.
Instead - going with the superior choice of....
Darth Big Boy.
I rarely laugh out loud, but I just did
Today we promoted Darth_Big_Boy to moderator in the Wuhers forum.
Pretending that this is still the "Scum continues it's downward spiral" Thread, I'll post this here:
It's officially over!
They apparently didn't choose me to be a mod.
I'd offer my condolences, but I honestly think you've come out ahead on this one. Being a mod a RS seems to be a no win, statistically speaking.
Lady Jaye bringing decency to the Scum? I SERIOUSLY doubt it. She's probably one of the WORST padders there, only behind GNT.
LJ a mod? That place is becoming even ********. KBZ is the only one who deserves the position.
LJ a mod? That place is becoming even ********. KBZ is the only one who deserves the position.
Damn, Durge, isn't this your millionth name here?
Lady Jaye = 42 posts since she became a Mod! ::)
I'd be willing to bet that less than 1 of them had any degree of substance whatsoever.
I really hope they make someone like General Windu or Yoda Boi a mod as well so the transformation into hell can be complete.
And as far as "substance," I don't think you should actually expect to find much of it on any toy-collecting forums. Like I said before, RS is pretty entertaining because of its geek-fest posting, and if they could get rid of the disrespectful dimwits that post there, it'd be even more so.
Wow rebelscum has become quite entertaining as of late, hasn't it? I do have one question though, why is it that defender only needs a few mods, and scum likes to have 10 or more in the catina?
Sorry if it is a stupid question, but i very rarely post over that way any more.
Claude
There's lack of substance, then there's lack of substance. We're not talking about a dissertation on nuclear physics versus a tirade about the price of the VOTC. We're talking about the difference between a thread on the Incredibles or some generic movie and what you liked about it versus a bunch of posts soley comprised of :) 's and !!!!!!!!'s.
Some people treat it like a chat room where anything that flutters into your head must be posted.
Overall, though, LJ and DBB seem to me to have always been respectful of others, and even if it means more overall posts, that's a step in the right direction.
LJ has inched dangerously close to blatant racism in her remarks - and been called out for it.
BTW - the consensus is roughly 99% sure that the picture IS her.
I'm fairly certain it's her cousin berthaa
LJ has inched dangerously close to blatant racism in her remarks - and been called out for it.
Hmmm. Haven't seen any evidence of this myself. I do remember a big hubbub about her use of an ambiguous Hitler quote or something at her school, but, to me that was all about stirring the pot at her school, the ethics, the moral dilemmas, etc. (the usual stuff you go through in college), and not hatred. However, everyone and anyone can be offended easily by anything or everything, so that thread seemed to devolve quickly. I think if she were really showing and posting her hatred, I don't think she'd still be around. I think the easily-offended PC crowd is the minority.
I had to drop by because I heard this thread was back up. Am I nuts, or was it removed earlier in the day? Maybe the title was just changed....but I swear this thread was gone altogether.
with that said I thought John Hamm's posts were down right hilarious ;D
well I saw the thread on scum that started this tangent and man she is sure paranoid about the whole situation. though at the same time i actually do agree with her that private info given to someone shouldnt be shared by that someone,
Quotewell I saw the thread on scum that started this tangent and man she is sure paranoid about the whole situation. though at the same time i actually do agree with her that private info given to someone shouldnt be shared by that someone,
I agree with you there too. If I had cared enough to find out that info myself when I had "The power"....I wouldn't have posted it or anything. While it might have been funny, that's just not my thing.
However, when someone finally let the cat of the bag (and posted a picture no less) I figured it's fair game. Once the secret is out, I feel it's free information and she should have just rolled with it. No one would have cared.
Her desperate attempts at a cover up was as stupid as Ashley Simpson blaming her band for her lip synching and "Doing a hoe down". It just makes her look dumb, and that's why I have no sympathy.
That and the fact she called me a bunch of names for simply repeating something that someone else already discovered.
Bleh. Who needs the drama?
Hey, don't blame the prequels on me.
After he made all the money with the whole Star Wars thing, it kind of changed him. When I knew him in college, we were all about making a classic with models and puppets.
Unfortunately, I think all the glue fumes got to him. ;D
I honestly don't mind DBB and LJ as people, but neither one is fit to mod there. I don't know that anyone can manage that 3-ring fiasco, plus the sideshow too.
I have never witnessed YodaBoi's wrath of stupidity until tonight.
We need 50cc's of intelligence, stat!
Yeah, that's where I interacted with him. He kept giving the STUPIDEST answers ever. For example, I would ask who wrestled in a certain match at a certain event, and he would respond with EVERY wrestler who wrestled at said event. It's crazy.
EDIT: I see that Angry Ewok's "friend" JediKnight567865827658619 has returned... should be interesting to see what he does.
I just came cause I heard all the **** you guys have been saying about me. Just wanted to see if it was true or not. I mean I expect this kind of sh1t from an atangonistic bastards like JoshEEE, but not from guys I used to be cool with. Oh well, I guess live and learn, no matter how nice you are, you get talked about anyway.
Hey Stormie, thanks for trying to stick up for me, I appreciate it.
Is that it?? No jokes, no put downs?? Where's the rest of my fan club, just waiting to make fun of me. I mean is this what has become of what was once the great collectstarwars.com communtiy , a bunch of hatefull, spitefull, persons that spit in the face of one your own, one that has never said a bad thing about any of you. Someone that has been with you guys since back in '01??
The GI JOE appreciation thread is a real class act fellas. Nice to see you guys have fun at our expense!!!
Alright, that's enough of this nonsense. If you guys have a problem, take it to pm. Or take it back to Rebelscum where it belongs.
So yeah scum as usual brings in some ****** up choices for mods, but then again they're mods for wuher's so you might as well let the morons mod each other. Isn't that how GNT got modded?
Like I said Corran Horn I have never said a bad thing about most of you guys. And yet you come over here and instead of trying to help, you just sit there and degrade us.
I mean people like JediMac, DSJ, and the other mods, whom I've never said a bad thing about, are over here just talking all sorts of ****!!! Thanks guys, you keep the collectstarwars memory glowing!!!
I mean people like JediMac, DSJ, and the other mods, whom I've never said a bad thing about, are over here just talking all sorts of ****!!!
But then I said, to hell with it, you can't beat em, join em. But really what does it matter what I or others do, as long as I am not insulting or degrading another, it shouldn't matter. I mean seriously, JMac, what kind of freakin mensa conversations can you have on a Star Wars board???
It's a dungheap. Wouldn't be so bad if the dungposts were confined to Wuher's, but a couple kids insist on spamming all the figure sections with 2 or 3-word posts ever 30 seconds. It gets to be unreadable. I got myself banned for calling the lead retard, Yoda_Boi, a piece of ****.
Seems to me that there are a number of "well, they hate me under that name so here's a new name" types in there too. Anyone else pick up on those idiots?What...?

I'm apparently on thin ice now... so I'm being nice.
But what did you do to get on the **** list?
Okay, so now the question is am I gonna get some royalties for use of my dog's image. 8)
Also, there was a running joke for 20 minutes that I was Carpeteria's dad - in a nonsense thread I made to make fun of two other nonsense threads.
Now that is pretty lame.... ::)
Now that is pretty lame.... ::)
I agree. You're not really hurting the administration when you do that. You are annoying the posters and viewers.
My hypothesis was that I would be flammed for 'grammer', be called an old memeber, and banned within the day. The expiriment went rather well, in my opinion. I got everything I wanted to know out of it, and it aleviated some boredom.
I don't think harassing the staff over there is cool, even if you're doing it "for an experiment". I know I personally had to ban a couple of your accounts at some point and it's a shame to see that all this time later you still think it's funny to start up fake accounts just to go aggravate the staff and members of a site you've been banned from.
It seems sort of petty and childish to me.
i agree as well. i can't believe anyone has the kind of time to do something like that. i certainly wouldn't - i wouldn't want to get tossed off. i shudder to think what could be worse than watto's and wuher's.
You mean something like this????
http://www.redlipstick.net/knotroom/implosion.html
I can't imagine what will happen when we get really close to E3 and there are 500 new highschool kids signing up - that place will implode.
of KBZ's "Party Monster" avatar of Wilson Cruz, with GNT's face superimposed on it, and I know photoshopping Greg's face on images is an immature passtime here.
That picture doesn't contain one single solitary pixel of Greg(g)'s face. Not a one.
* While Josh claims that Redhawk's possible orientation here was irrelevant, it isn't, especially in the wake of Vator's actions, and the "Darth_Darth"/"Zack Attack" conundrum.
you also say that the staff has to "clean up" after whatever these people are doing - why?
It's just a little suspicious, given the recent flurry of activity that points right back here
Don't force the staff to clean up after you for something so trivial as the moderation on a board, especially on a Sunday night, when most people are getting ready for work the next day.
If they're organized somehow, I'm impressed.

yeah, i don't know why i would think you said that about cleaning things up.
Complain about the state of Rebelscum's forums, revel in your "Cheers" atmosphere, but in the future, keep a tighter leash on your problem members, so they don't drag your name through the mud.
And which Rebelscum administrator/moderator are you?
* While Josh claims that Redhawk's possible orientation here was irrelevant, it isn't, especially in the wake of Vator's actions, and the "Darth_Darth"/"Zack Attack" conundrum.
Well given the fact that three of them appeared in a one week period, something has to be going on. But that is their own deal, nothing really affiliated with JD
P.S. Matt, if you ever address me again, I'd appreciate it if you didn't do it in 2nd person. I was in the thread, and the way I was referred to, I felt, was quite condescending.
ok, nice work, mr. semantics. my point was in asking WHY anyone should have to "CLEAN UP" anything. i wasn't accusing you of anything directly, it was a general question in reference to your statement that "SOMETHING" had to be "CLEANED UP." i wondered why a cleaning was necessary. that's it.
So Cory, pray tell, who besides Andrew are you guys having an issue with? We've already been accused of unleashing "Durge" on you, which is obviously ridiculous, since he's an RS member, and has been banned here each and every time he's signed up.
* While Josh claims that Redhawk's possible orientation here was irrelevant, it isn't, especially in the wake of Vator's actions, and the "Darth_Darth"/"Zack Attack" conundrum.
Cory, for the last time, Darth_Darth has nothing to do with JD, so shut the **** up about that ********. Seriously. YOU ARE WRONG. Now let it go.
WHAT?! Since when are there rules about how we're to address people in threads? So I should've just been saying "you" in that whole thread, so no one knew who the hell I was talking about?! Yeah, that makes a lot of sense...
Also, you keep throwing KBZ's name around. Is Rob not also a member of RS? Why does something to do with Rob equate to having something to do with JD? You don't think there's people at RS who are unhappy with RS? ****. Get real, man.
* While Josh claims that Redhawk's possible orientation here was irrelevant, it isn't, especially in the wake of Vator's actions, and the "Darth_Darth"/"Zack Attack" conundrum.
...if they did that instead of worrying about what is being said at JD, they would surely be better off.
then again there's always some idiot out there just waiting to waste away time on spamming and causing ****.
how can anyone believe this kind of stuff is all new to scum? this kind of stuff has been happening for a long long time, yet because some JD members happen to overtly exclaim their distaste for the scum, it must be some damn conspiracy of epic proportions.
This thread... a level of nerdiness unsurpassed in the history of dorkdome.
Be proud folks.
In any event. It had nothing to do with me beyond my original photoshop job - and that's the absolute frickin' end of it.
As for photoshopping Gregg's noggin anywhere, the JD staff here absolutely SUCKS at that stuff. We can't photoshop **** to save our ass. Seriously. So that ******** has nothing to do with us either.
* While Josh claims that Redhawk's possible orientation here was irrelevant, it isn't, especially in the wake of Vator's actions, and the "Darth_Darth"/"Zack Attack" conundrum.
I don't even know who the **** Zack Attack is, but that's not a JD thing either, Mr. Detective. Sir. And I "can't go into something" that I know nothing about.
As for someone attacking you in the DVD thread, well ****, something like that is an absolute no-brainer really. EVERYONE attacks your movie tastes. Openly. RS members, JD members, etc. If someone says some **** to you there about your movie tastes, that very well could be an RS member, so get over yourself, Sir.
Or are you now suggesting there's a JD/Cory conspiracy in addition to the supposed JD/RS one?! ****. Please.
I like how you can only be associated with one site, regardless of how many you may belong to and are active at. I guess it's kind of like racial profiling, only star wars board profiling. "This guy's a dick that said mean things about me, so he's gotta be from JD".
Where do I fit in Cory? I'm as old school as they come, does that mean I'm really a Scum guy visiting JD, or am I a JD guy that stops in at Scum to view the trainwreck and learn what movies to avoid. Or wait, I post at GH too, and used to be big at SSG, what the hell am I???
I'm still confused with where to group you in at: first you were on the 'Scum, then there was some suspension, then you were putting out the Jargon here, then you left here, then you went back to 'Scum, then I think you left again, somewhere in there you sold all your ****, then you came back with a renewed love for cinema, then you left again because you were "misunderstood", then you dropped a bunch of lbs and came back again (but only in the DVD thread), now you're totally back and playing moderator.
I'm so confused....should we not question your commitment to 'Scum? Seems like you bail on them a whole lot :'(
I'm annoyed by this thread. People who whine are annoying, and this thread has some whining. Because a member of my site posts something at another site, it does nothing in regards to this websites name. They are not endorsed by JediDefender so it is not an issue. Wuhers is a stupid mess, we all know that. Oh well. Don't like it- don't go there. We don't "test" or care to "test" the moderators at Scum, their actions speak for themselves, and it is not even like I or even "we" CARE. It is a different site and it doesn't affect what goes on here. They do plenty right and that is why they are still around. We do quite a bit right as well and people choose to come here. It all comes down to a personal preference. I don't mind if you point out something specific from Wuhers that is especially stupid or laughworthy, but to just whine on and on.... enough is enough guys...
I don't feel like locking this, you can finish out the "battle" and then let it go. I expect this thread to die down on its own after a while, don't make a moderator lock it. :-*
Cory:
Not once did I blame this site for Redhawk's actions. NOT ONCE! I asked, which was an open invite for JD to clear their name, if Redhawk was another one of their known members, conducting some assinine "test" on the Rebelscum moderators.
Cory:
Automatically, you people assumed I SAID it was you, when I didn't, again, I only asked for a straight forward response.
So, as I said before, nobody is blaming anyone. I merely asked, and you took it wrong.
Complain about the state of Rebelscum's forums, revel in your "Cheers" atmosphere, but in the future, keep a tighter leash on your problem members, so they don't drag your name through the mud.
Josh:
Best ways to get rid of dandruff?
Idiot:
As for photoshopping Gregg's noggin anywhere, the JD staff here absolutely SUCKS at that stuff. We can't photoshop **** to save our ass. Seriously.
Cory:
I'm not any moderator, just someone who's looking out for this sites best interests, and feels as if that piece of advice is worth heeding, if you want to keep your squeaky clean image.
Is that so wrong? I don't have a hidden agenda.
Cory:
So, not only did Vator "test" us, you've got Smileyfaceguy who was/is a problem member here too, who was either banned or deleted himself, doing the same thing, looking to get a rise out of Rebelscum.
Cory:
I've been back here trying to enjoy myself a few times, but the problem areas still remained until now, not that I'd consider posting here after this fracas.
QuoteIdiot:

Thanks! I'm glad I haven't mailed off my Secret Santa yet. :P
I apologize for wrongfully accusing SFG of any wrongdoing.
There really are no good candidates for moderator at rebel scum. Zod would probably be the best choice, but I cannot think of anyone else who would be a good moderator. Some of the people asking for the job are pathetic. Killer185 ::), YodaBoi ::), General Windu ::). God help you all.Thats actually pretty funny because I was the one to suggest there be new mods instated. And no I was not asking to be one by any means.... ::)
Then I figured why not uncover what **** you guys have been saying on me!
Indeed... did not come on here till recently just to see what fun this site is! Much more fun than scum at times always good for a good laugh! ;D Then I figured why not uncover what **** you guys have been saying on me! Search came up with that as the only thing really. :P Meh. :-*
But I must say the funniest thing yet is the drama between these sites! Really guys its just online fourms! ;D :P But then again its always good for a great laugh! (Got to love the GNT threads here! ;D)

Actually, if you bought one of these just for trade bait, we call that scalping around these parts.
Just because you move the currency from money to the bust, doesn't make it any less scalping than selling it for more than you paid for it right now.
The whole point behind trying to reduce scalping is to not buy something unless it's for your collection. Any other purpose potentially drives the price up for somebody else because you stole his ability to buy it for the same price you did.
Wow.
So Philip, when my friends up in Canada, or elsewhere around the country/world, ask me to find a few figures at retail for them since they've never been available in their area, you're telling me by doing so I'm aiding the scalping market? Not helping fellow Star Wars collectors, but rather just helping scalpers? That's certainly an interesting, and skewed, perspective. I can guarantee you that A LOT of Star Wars collectors around the world do NOT share your point of view there... If I don't help fellow collectors out with figures at retail cost, won't they have to resort to scalpers? Man, I'm confused. I must've had it backwards all these years.
Essentially, you're now of the opinion that we can't HELP eachother out, since buying stuff for your buddies collections (and not your own) "potentially drives the price up for somebody else because you stole his ability to buy it for the same price you did.". I guess you better shut down your trading and classifieds boards here then. They're obviously a wretched hive of scalper assisting villainy.
Mind boggling, seriously.

What I don't understand is how it's possible this email really bothered any of you. You think you're going to trip me up and point a finger at me? Get a life and move along. We have tens of thousands of users who were delighted to receive the emails, hope we continue the site, and support everything we do on it. I'll waste no further time on this issue with you.
Its amazing that people still continue to support the biggest dickhole in the community.
Its easy people, stop posting there and he'll go away and his empire from which he is leeching thousands of dollars off of will also crumble. TFN and Rebelscum are far from "Fan Friendly" its all business and always will be all business. Its disgusting
Get a life and move along.

Kinda scary really. :-\
Justin, our SoCal thread here is for both OC and L.A. We don't necessarily have to hit the exact same stores as eachother in order for our store reports to be useful. Just knowing the retail chain where things are showing up and the day they're hitting is usually all we need to know to go find the stuff ourselves, since most stores get/stock their inventories similar between our two neighboring counties. Not to mention, a lot of us actually go back and forth between the two in our toy hunts. So knowing what hits the RSM stores, or TMP is still quite helpful to the L.A. guys, as should our reports be helpful to you guys in OC.Ohhhhhh, but Matt....That means I have to work ;)
I've been a member there for over 3 years and have not ONCE seen them do a give-away.
Oh, wow. Hadn't checked RS's front page in a while. NOW I see why Philip's defending that e-mail so vigilently...
Man, they've got THREE big, flashing TRU Midnight Madness ads all over the front of their site. No wonder... ;)
I like how he then added what I can only assume to be a response to my work email address being added (unsolicited) to his spam list by saying that they also use email addresses given in give-away entry forms.Perhaps you filled it out somewhere at one of the local Cons?

I'm sure he's spamming those on that mailing list as well...
I truly wonder what will come of this.
'cause he's got plenty more members where they came from
I was told to email Phillip - which I did. No reply as of yet.
You ever wonder what Dustin gets out of being Phillips bitch? He needs to grow a sack and call his boss out on this one.
DBB - care to fill us in on what happened over there with you?
As for how it was handled after the fact, I thought THAT was the true insult. The email itself didn't bug me, but the "**** you, leave if you don't like it" did.
Please don't forget the "Get a life" comment there Josh...
QuotePlease don't forget the "Get a life" comment there Josh...
Don't worry, I didn't.
Look, I'm not the Rebelscum apologist or anything. I didn't post here to defend Philip. All I was saying is that the email really didn't bother me, and it's a very small price to have to pay after years of membership.
But yes, the way he handled the reaction by the users was "rude" at best, and I can see why those of you who were directly called out are angry. As for all the locked threads, at least they weren't deleted. That IMHO, is even worse. ;D
Who needs Rebelscum when you have JD? Urge a fellow scummer to come over here. After all, 'scum is just a dumb website. You'd think who the hell Phillip is. He's nobody.
QuoteWho needs Rebelscum when you have JD? Urge a fellow scummer to come over here. After all, 'scum is just a dumb website. You'd think who the hell Phillip is. He's nobody.
Who needs it? I for one do. The people who have populated a 5 page thread about it apparently do.
Look...let's call a spade a spade.
if everyone from RS migrated over here, that would be one thing. But as it stands, this site has like....1/10th (at best) of the active population of Rebelscum. I like the cozy atmosphere here at JD, but it's just not fun to post in a random topic and wait three days for a reply. Call it A.D.D, but I like my forum conversations to move a little faster than that.
The only time I see a topic with 5 pages in a one day period over here is (Drum roll) when it's about RS.
As fun as it is to gripe when the admins over there fly off the handle, promote or ban a moderator, or lock a post......it doesn't make me want to give up the daily interaction with my fellow fans to come over here and listen to the crickets chirping.
RS has Wuher's. They have constant news and conversation in every collecting section I care about. They have the Seattle community (whose closest and only rival resides at GH). On top of all that, they have more news than any other site out there with very few exceptions.
If it takes a spam mail or two every once in awhile, or I have to watch while GNT or Lady Jaye locks a thread for post padding (and chuckle at the irony)....I can deal with it.
Everything I just said aside, I like JD. There are a lot of websites I enjoy and this is one of them. It's a fun place, where more than a few people I enjoy talking to hang out. And you know what? Someday, if JD ever gets big and interesting enough to be a "daily hangout", I'll be happy to switch my allegiances and never look back.
Today is unfortunately not that day. ;D

With that said, you all need to get a life.

Yeah, we're a little more spread out than your average "local" collecting club, but still... At least we get to hold our Collecting Club meetings all over the country, from MN to TN to CA... 8)

Let the record show that we're approaching 48 hours - that's two solid days, and I have no response to my question.Granted Phil is most likely a busy person like everyone else here but you would think that since your question was asked in the orignal thred that he could of replied to your comment Zod in this 48 hours. I would of thought he would of told you an answer before the orignal thread was lock since it was one of the more valid concerns with this issue.
I'm going to start calling TRU's corporate offices to figure out who the appropriate person to complain to would be.

Does Dallas have a collecting club? Of all the forums I frequent, nothing comes close to the content and comraderie I get from PSWCS (http://www.pswcs.com). We have about 220 members now, and have an E-mail list where people post stuff all day long. I get immediate store sightings to my inbox, along with great conversation. And that's not even mentioning the monthly meetings where we swap stories and toys.
Anyway, if you're not in a collecting club, you should be!
...(which, BTW, has a FANTASTICALLY funny update this week including a story about this whole spamming episode)...
Hey now... I was promoting http://PSWCS.com in that message. That's a collecting club I belong to... and really has nothing to do with my art.
Now if I was plugging http://CreatureCantina.com (which, BTW, has a FANTASTICALLY funny update this week including a story about this whole spamming episode), then you would have a point. ;D
Have fun (http://www.netdisaster.com/go.php?mode=bomb&destruction=massive&control=on&url=http://threads.rebelscum.com/ubbthreads.php).
Shameless Bill, shameless. Nicely done. :)
Looks like S_L_C is squaring off with the administration.
I cant check their threads out anymore because my account was banned. Not DELETED like I requested.
Just when I think I'm free they found a new way to shank me...
Kevin
I was going to respond to it with the exact response he was going to get, but decided it was probably best not to stir the pot over there any more right now, considering the hoopla I raised over Matkatnadam scalping his Lava Vader on eBay, and over Jimbo being a flaming ******* like usual.
But my bet is the next post in SLC's thread will look something like this:
Thanks for your concern. The administration will take it under consideration. If you have any specific questions, feel free to e-mail Philip directly at Philip@Rebelscum.com, so he can then proceed to not read it and ignore you, while you continue to wonder in the ensuing weeks if anyone here gives two ***** about you (we don't). Please also use a different e-mail account than the one listed in your profile here (preferably your work one), so that we can add it to our mailing list as well. Thanks.
- Dustin ('cause Phil would never respond to this bull**** nonsense anymore, unless it was to tell you pathetic idiots to "Get a life")
:P
I'm not sure what you need answers to but if it is the thread about Philip and the so called spam, he clearly stated he was done discussing it.I think this sums up everyone's thoughts/expectations about how their Feedback and Suggestions section works...they have no idea they're being bitches, do they? ::)
Ahhh, my fellow comrades all together...Cable, Zod and the guy that can't spell. :P
I, too, received that TRU email at work and I am still wondering how the hell that thing got through our spamware and how RS even got it!!
I tell ya, that Wise character is making money hand over fist off of us - he's whoring us out!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one making the switch.
BTW...DId I ever trade with you....maybe a year ago? Or was that another Darth ________? :)
Dustin's over here as we speak, more than likely reading this very thread. How about you take this opportunity to prove you aren't just Phil's puppet as so many people think and admit he was dead wrong with how he's been treating his members.
It is fun to watch all the traffic here though... quite a few of RS's mods/admins have been over here for a look-see and no doubt are discussing this ****-storm over in their secret admin forums.
So now they are banning JD members and staff members for no reason?
Joshee
THink about your own circumstance for a moment. If you are like me in the least you become concerned who is doing what with your personal information. I have emailed phillip with my real email account before and I prefer not to have that publicized. I'm concerned for Rob(KBZ) because it's a complete infringement of his rights. The email was never for public consumption and subsequent sold as such
CHEWIE, you got banned because of your signature, no doubt.
Yep. The true reasons behind Philip's madness are becoming all too apparent now. This has NOTHING to do with breaking any of their forum rules, but has everything to do with his disdain over JediDefender here. That's what it all boils down to.
For him to summarily ban any folks affiliated with JD for no valid reason whatsoever is absolutely insane. Banning Dave/jokabofe who hadn't made a peep over there for quite a while? At least Dave's on staff here, but banning Justin/CHEWIE too, 'cause he had a JD link in his sig (which has been there for quite some time mind you), that's just appalling.
I'd love to see who else is on the chopping block now. I've seen JD in a number of sigs and posts over there, so I suppose any one of those folks have the strong potential to get the boot as well.
Hmm... I wonder if Philip's going to start banning any of the GH guys too, just because. Somehow I doubt that one though, as they've got a bit lower profile around RS than we do these days.
So, does this mean that Philip will now be adding into his completely phony Forum Rules that any mention of or link to JediDefender constitutes a full ban (not just a suspension and warning). He sure better be...
Damned idiotic old man. ::)
I heard Justin just left and told them to remove him, he wasn't banned.
I do hope I meet dear old Phil because I will tell him what I think of him, no matter how many 501st guys are with him as "security". (No hate towards the 501st.
I heard Justin just left and told them to remove him, he wasn't banned.
SLC, Justin = CHEWIE. Were you referring to the other Justin (JediKnight760071)?
'Cause Justin/CHEWIE said (above) that he very much was surprised to open their forum only to find out he'd been inexplicably banned. He definitely didn't just leave of his own accord...
Ahhh, my fellow comrades all together...Cable, Zod and the guy that can't spell. :P

Dude! Glad to see you here!
I went by Balki at RS until recently. Spuffy started up a Iowa finds thread, so please, join us! :)
BTW, if there is only one reason to come over here to JD, it's the ability to curse when you feel it's necessary!! :P ;D :D ;) :)
Guys I don't what to tell ya with this whole mess. I might even get reprimanded or given the boot flat outright, but I gotta say if you hadn't done anything over there you shouldn't haven been banned. JediMac, you've been one of the cooler guys and have always had a kind word. So your presence over there, no tmatter how small it was, will be missed.
Oh and it's about having a JD e-mail listed that he'll ban ya!!
Are the PM's monitored? I mean, can a mod or administrator read them if he/she really wanted to? I'm thinking so.
Wow...so because you work for JD you've been shown the door
Ruiner asked:Wrong. I had admin access on a forum, which included access to everyones' PMs. I wouldn't trust sensitive info to the PM system on ANY website.QuoteAre the PM's monitored? I mean, can a mod or administrator read them if he/she really wanted to? I'm thinking so.
No, they can't. At least not when I was a moderator. I also run a set of boards for my local 501st group and that's a right I don't have there.
PM is PM.

I call you and your friends **** because that's about the maturity level that I find you on. I'm far too mature to engage in a battle of the wits "my dad can beat up your dad" game with a 12-year old in a 34 year old body. My 2 year old is far more grownup than you are, and he still pees in the bathtub. Calling you a *** seems to be the only thing you respond to so maybe it's necessary.
You damn kids get everything handed to you. I earned my banning calling someone a piece of ****. :P

Good PR moves all around, especially with C3 and Midnight Madness and Episode III Coming out. I wonder what TRU and Lucasfilm will think about all of this? I wouldn't be too happy one of my promoters and business partners treats their customers like ****.
Sith_prop_lord, your thread over at the RS Customs about Chewie leaving has disappeared.
I can't for the life of me figure out why there's still adult members in the collecting community who would actually want to hang out over at RS (speaking primarily of the modern figure and Wuher's boards here). Yeah, yeah - I know - there's a billion posts to read there. Just sad that quantity and total zoo-like insanity still matters more to some people than quality, respect, and friendships...
Gundam started this thread (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1107972&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#1107972) at RS just a few moments ago. Hopefully it won't get deleted, but instead calmly answered by Philip and maybe this whole stupidity can be laid to rest.
"Ok, don't kill me if this shoul dnot be talked about but what happened to the JediDefender link?
Part of my daily routine is to come to 'scum....click on LINKS and from there I go to the sites I normaly check for news.
Today I noticed no Jedi Defender?
Did the big wigs at the sites have a fight and are not talking anymore?
I hope this topic is not deleted or locked....things like this shoul dbe talked about in the open....it seems sometimes things like this are huge behind the scenes but never talked about like this.... "
The link was removed today, as well as all Jedi Defender staff were advised they could no longer use the Rebelscum forum.
This was done after constant and repeated use of our forum by some of their staff to bash Rebelscum.
Which isn't very nice, nor acceptable.
They have their own forum to do this on if they see fit.
I consider Rebelscum to be a place where friends of ours can communicate. Some of these people have abused this consideration in a manner we can no longer allow.
This is all that will be said on the subject because it doesn't deserve conversation.
Wait, we NEVER used their forum to bash them. We used our forum. I can only think of Scott's post padding thing, but that was two years ago.

He's just fortunate that Philip Wise made some bizarre "special arrangement" with him to allow him back into Rebelscum, after he'd already been banned from there at least twice. What's really strange, is that the first of Jimmy_'s bannings was because he was constantly berating Philip all over the forums there. Now the two are best of friends, and Philip protects him at all costs. Go figure... ???
Amazing. KBZ, any answer on why your email was used?
Kevin
I sent an email right after it happened to Dustin, and then Philip emailed me about it.
I have just been reinstated, but still feel like this is a stain on the collecting community as so many people got the axe there that it just isn't funny. And some people asked to be removed too.
There are some things that go on there that I don't like, so from now on the only posting I will probably do there will be in the customs and the trades section. There are some good members there and I don't want to lose touch with them (but it seems like quite a few have made the switch to here). I personally don't have a problem with anyone there, but the whole witch-hunt thing just makes me sick and leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.
That being said, instead of 10% of my posts going here and 90% there, it will probably switch to 90% being here. You guys are the best and I couldn't imagine not being part of the community here.
I know, some people will ask "Why would you even want to be reinstated after that????" Only because there are some members there that I do like a lot; and I don't want to give up my friendship with them because of this - and mostly because I enjoy talking about customs over there. I love it here even more, but I do wish there was some more traffic in our customs section.
Trust me though, this is now my true home.
:P
And now the "Missing member" thread is missing. The last post being posted by your friend Matt, Mr. Lava Scapler, saying how you will be back under a new name in no time, you "are probally already there now".No, the last post had a bad Photoshop of Wise. I think that's likely what did it.

I agree, the damage is done. And I don't see any way they can ever justify people who never said or did anything being kicked out of there.
My postings there will be limited to just the customizing probably. Sad to see this happen.
:P

As for Jimbo suggesting he hasn't given me a second thought since we had to ban him from JD here long ago, that's absolutely laughable. He's posted about me incessantly at sites like The Jawa and Trade Fed, where I wasn't even a member. He even thanked me personally in his main page news post at Trade Fed (after we hadn't even corresponded in months), when he returned to that site since he was banned from all the rest at the time.
It's been a little while since I've been around serving you up some fresh pipping hot news... but all that is about to change. I'm officially back and ready to help my bud Sharon Bronson and the familia known as the Trade Federation out (as well as you the readers) with all the latest and greatest Star Wars news you can fit on your plate. blah, blah, blah...
Also thanks to people like my bud Matt Coleman for making this that much more meaningful.
"It's been said that I am...
"the most unhappy, angry, ego-maniacal, and pathetic member of the entire online collecting community (and greater society as a whole)"

Here's his signature line at The Jawa, from a PM of mine to him:

Don't drag the Jawa into your tiff with Jimmy_. Jimmy_ is his own person and hasn't been active with us for about 6 months or more.
You'd think they could just delete the post in question and not the ENTIRE thread... ::)
Matt, on the left hand side of the main page where you have the fourm, chat room, etc buttons one of them is links. If you click on that there is a RS link which takes you to RS. I would post a screen shot of it if I knew how and had the time.Don't drag the Jawa into your tiff with Jimmy_. Jimmy_ is his own person and hasn't been active with us for about 6 months or more.
I know that Nick. I wasn't talking about theJawa personally. I was just pointing out Jimmy_'s sig there. Out of respect for you and most of theJawa crew, I refrained from posting all the public conversations he and Delvec had about me in your forums there when I wasn't around. ;)
And Tom, 'Scum never had a link to us up on their site, and we've never had one back to them either. I assume you're talking about the affilliate type buttons on the main page, right?
Just a little shout out to the staff here since Phillip removed Jedidefenders link at Rebelscum it would seem only fair to remove his link on here since most sites put up each other links as favors for each other. SInce it is apperant that they is no love between the sites then I don't see why there is a link to Rebelscum here.
Just my 2 cents

I'd like to think we can take the higher road and not sink to the petty level that has brought us to this point. :)
Edit: C3 is going to be fun now after this. How many people here are going to get auto's. I'm will probally get them but I was thinking about get the auto book for $200 and somethingt but decided against it after this.With companies like this guy's outfit so heavily involved, I'm glad I decided against going at all.
Yeah. Avoid C2 Ventures/Official Pix booths at all costs. Anyone volunteering to work is a moron. Don't you idiots have anything better to do... like ENJOYING C3?

I'll be damned. Looks like you're right about that Tom. No idea how we all brainfarted on that one all this time, 'cause I gaurantee you that if any of us were aware of that over the past year or so, it would've probably been removed long ago. So thanks for the head's up there! :P
And I see that Matkatnadam is STILL having trouble figuring out if he really scalped his Lava Vader (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB9&Number=1107620&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=3), or not. Wow, that guy's rather dense. :-X
Still blaming the entire issue on me too, I see. Amusing! ;D
I dont' see what Pictures of Phillip and what I'm assuming is his Grandchild have to do with anything.
Any ideas?
I already removed it.
Well, I ended up going the third route. I went ahead and PMd an admin to have them delete my account.
Hi Lady Jaye, it's nice to see you over here and not just stuck in one place. :)
I hope that nobody here is mad at me for getting reinstated there. The only reason I wanted to be was to keep in touch with the customizers there. I doubt I will ever post in another section there again.
JD.com is where it's at. I hope we get some more members here.
:P
Peronally, I still don't think this mail was NEARLY big enough a deal for the ****storm that followed it. The mail didn't even bother me.....and actually, I still don't get why people are so bent out of shape about it.
Commercial e-mail must contain a clear identification that the message is an advertisement, must contain a conspicuous notice of opportunity to decline further e-mail and must display the physical postal address of the sender.
I understand that it was spam. My comments weren't insinuating otherwise. I certainly don't remember having an option to "opt out" back when I registered....but at the same time, it's just one of 500 junk mails I got that day, and it happened to be Star Wars related, which really didn't bother me. That's all I'm saying. It;s not a big enough deal to cause all this.

Oh, and I almost forgot....did somebody say that Jimmy has his own site? This I gotta see...LOL. That is a whole other topic on itself...LMAO
I just asked him to remove my address from his servers, and the only response I got was "Done."
I figured he wouldn't need my address if I'm not going to be at RS anymore.
Jesse you got banned???? ??? You were nothing but courteous and respectful to all, I don't think you had a bad thing to say about anyone, and no one had but high respect and esteem for you as well. Sorry to see you go.
I'm officially banned for doing not one thing wrong. :) Classic.

Arrogant, and obtaining 50,000 posts as quickly as possible at the expense of ANY level of quality is what Rebelscum admires perhaps? ???
I can't believe you got banned to JJ... I can't believe that anyone did. I'm actually surprised that I got reinstated. It might be a matter of time before I get kicked out of there for good.
Like I said before, the only thing I will post there from now on will be customs. There are some great people there that I don't want to not be able to talk to anymore.
:P
You can join the "nice JD guys who got banned" club with me and Dave, who also just like us got banned for simply being JD staff members!

Simply walking away (if that's even what you want) is the better choice, and speaks many volumes more in its more calm tone.
Greg(g) has been allowed to post here forever (even though he never did)...same goes for LJ and JoshEEE and DBB and RatRobz and all the rest of the people who have been mods there.
And to show how rediculous this actually is

I hate GNT also. He's so annoying. He thinks "abit" is one word. Dumbass.
I think someone's trying to make a point tonight in Wuher's (http://threads.rebelscum.com/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=UBB9&PHPSESSID=). They're certainly having fun.

I heard about that from Jamie, while we were standing in a Target line last night. Bummer I missed it. Sounds fun! :P

Wow. All I have to say, wow.
I've been in Florida on vacation for the past week and had internet for a few days before the hotel had problems with their provider or something. Now, for something a bit more interesting... I have as well been banned from RebelScum and received the following e-mail from Philip Wise.
"Hi Chris,
As I've mentioned before to you, and it continues to be apparent, many of
your site staff just can't seem to make it a day without publically
attacking RS, the forums and the staff. This is not something I'd ever allow
and would address immediately if it was brought to my attention.
I personally don't understand why you allow this kind of behaviour, but
clearly you do.
Please inform your staff they may no longer use our forum."
Screw you Phil. I would like to say that I have never ONCE in all years of my posting at Scum, not ONCE have I ever been so much as WARNED about a comment. I have done absolutely NOTHING to warrant this. RebelScum is disgusting and I don't feel bad saying it out in the open now. Before this, I found it in poor taste on my part to openly just trash talk, but everything has come full circle and I'm not too worried.
I'm not going to stoop to levels of a site-sponsored attack against RebelScum, but please, if you feel in any way you have been mistreated, or even if you have not and just enjoy it here- TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO COME HERE. STOP POSTING OVER THERE. The only way to stop this stupid **** and get back to having fun is to not go to RebelScum. Do not endorse them. Complaining over here is great for venting, but in the end will get us nowhere. The only thing you can do is cease using RebelScum.
Text deleted...Sorry about the overly colorful description of the aforementioned. :-\
No no guys...
Sorry Ook, I took your post away.
Let's stop talking about this now folks.
And I'm going to reiterate that I don't want people here to be involved with trouble there... You're free to do what you want on your own time of course, but it's my opinion (and the rest of the staff here at Jedi Defender) that your best voice is to walk away if you don't want in over there rather than make attempts to be banned.
But as for this end of the topic, I want the discussion stopped (publicly) of the seemingly inappropriate photo linked to over there... That includes descriptions, insinuation, etc.
Thanks guys/gals
JJ

He just has Dustin continuously hit us with their standard form banning e-mail, with no reasons included whatsoever.

Philip disgusts me, and as Gary has already pointed out above, has NO right to have the forums that he does. Those were Mike's, and Philip stole the **** from him - whether it was figuratively, or literally.

Sounds like basically the same quote.
Maybe GNT and Pdubs are the same person.
I didn't realize that the big merger happened at the very end of 01' - looks like I only missed it by about 2 months...

Hello Friends,
Just wanted to let you know after a rough weekend that the Jawa Forums are now back online. So come on back and let us know how your Midnight Madness went. Thats it nothing else................What? Were you expecting a nice plug for you guys to buy all your ROTS products at Toys R Us? Nah, that would be unwise of us.
Cya there

I've been banned from Rebelscum.
I certainly hope they intend to block all other staff members from all other sites...
Oddly enough a thread has just been started over there asking members to vote on their favorite Superman villain. Wonder who will win?
So what's the official list of people that have been banned from Rebelscum over complaining about the Spam we got???
Jesus. Whatever you do, don't make me a staff member over here. It's like the scarlet letter I guess. ???
It sucks that half of the guys still around there from the days when I first registered have been banned now.....and that most of you didn't do anything.
I know one or two of you might have said something anti-Rebelscum over there (or over here), but what did Rob do?
This Sucks.
I was told that it was a mistake, and that I've been around too long to be banned for someone else's actions. Which is fair (to me at least) - I'd like to see a similar offer extended to Jesse and a few of the others.

BTW, thanks to everyone, JediDefender just had their best week EVER for posts, hits and everything. We're glad you are here, we don't want you to move along. Thanks :)

Won't ever happen Rob. The only site that Philip's concerned about is JediDefender. I guarantee you that.
Totally bogus. Man, he's hurting theircommunityboards over there. But as I've always said, he could care less. He's said time and time again, we're all easily replaceable over there, and that there's plenty more future members out there to fill our posting voids if/when we leave.
What an *******.
BTW, did anyone save a copy of Jason's spam complaint thread over at RS? I see that got pulled (not surprising), and now I can't remember how badly I popped off on Philip in there. Don't recall it being much worse than most people's responses though. Just as fighting with Jimbo and Katmandu is pretty much completely commonplace around there for most RS'ers. So it still basically boils down to the **** that I've said over here about them that's the reason for them being pissed off at me. As always, lame.
I can't say that I was happy to receive this email either, and I think that the situation has been handled poorly at best. Rebelscum, like it or not, is a business. It is a website designed to attract hits and charge for advertising based on the activity and hits. Part of being a business is maintaining a good relationship with the people you do business with. I have read disturbing reports of belligerent emails from the staff to readers who have been displeased with this matter. The readers are Rebelscum's customers, and berating customers with legitimate complaints does not constitute good customer service by any measure.
I received the email in question, and also wondered why I found this in my email inbox. I registered for my account in 2002, and I do not recall being given a choice when I registered as to whether or not I could choose to receive promotional emails or not. As a rule, whenever I register at a website I prefer to keep my personal email information private and when given a choice about such matters, I opt not to receive such emails. I like so many people using the internet value my privacy.
Additionally, I heard that some of the responses from the staff of this website stated that if people did not wish to receive promotional email that they should have stated so upon registration. Looking into things from this standpoint I chose to examine my own Rebelscum profile. And what I found was peculiar. My profile showed that I had never made a choice about whether or not I wanted to receive promotional emails. As I mentioned before, had I been given the choice I would have opted not to receive such emails. This begs the question of when was this option offered to Rebelscum forum members if at all? I think that it's a legitimate question.
I for one am irked by the email, and additionally disappointed by the response. I think that at this time when the final Star Wars movie is about to be released, the collecting community needs to regard each other with respect and courtesy in order to maintain any sense of cohesion in the future. And the websites that serve that community need to respect the people they serve.
I AM in the middle of it since I'm now the only one who was banned and reinstated...
If you guys haven't noticed, the customs section here has really picked up a lot. Over there it has slowed down some. I barely post there at all anymore, and with the increased traffic that is going on here, I am loving it more than ever here.
...Philip basically said in his email that ... all staff from here were no longer allowed because of comments made over there, and that none of his people would ever do that over here, and that this had been going on for too long, which was why they set the ban.
Well..I must say I'm very proud of Dustin for telling everyone he's going to make a new attempt at the Feedback Section.
Would it be wrong to print up a bunch of black armbands withRS printed on them for C3?

Even if he doesn't, you can still "bug" everyone over here ;D
Now I applaud Dustin for coming out and saying he's going to try and do better, but the proof is in the pudding. I made a post in the forum Princes sarted, and I'm kind of curious to see if Philip will respond, although I don't think he will. I hope it's a wake-up call for him and he'll turn it around. If not, I get to bug all of you over here! ;D
Would it be wrong to print up a bunch of black armbands withRS printed on them for C3?
Be more blatant about it. Make up t-shirts that say REBELSCUM SUCKS.
That kind of stuff is very rarely funny. Perhaps Mel Brooks pulled it off with The Producers... But to go so far as to relate a Star Wars message board's management team, however poorly they a job they are doing, to the SS and the Nazis does a dis-service to the monumental horror of that event and the people affected by it. And it is unfair to almost anyone, particularly people running a toy website.
I'm all for Rebelscum This or Rebelscum That shirts or whatever, but no Nazi comparissons please.
Way to get that plug in there Bill - you really are the master at this.
Additionally I will not discuss certain details surrounding another members banning in this forum. If that member wants to discuss it, please PM me.
Wow...I am so glad I found this thread. Your feelings toward RS brought me too tears...really. To add to problems this sight has, myself and another memebr both recieved death threats from that fat f%$% Jimbo...I notified ol Philly Wise and he says I am totally BSing Yada Yada Yada...and I got the boot.
Just Screencap the PM or whatever and send it to him.

I've been banned from Rebelscum.
At the risk of running further off topic, I'm just going to add that I don't use Cntrl when printing-screen either. I'm guessing it's just unncessary and certain people don't know.
So, for those who still care about this thread and in the interest of fairness, I thought I would let y'all know that I have been unbanned at RS as of this morning.

What do I have to do to get banned from RS?

Done and done. Its now 2:11 pm, EST. Lets see if it works.
The link was removed today, as well as all Jedi Defender staff were advised they could no longer use the Rebelscum forum.
This was done after constant and repeated use of our forum by some of their staff to bash Rebelscum.
Which isn't very nice, nor acceptable.
They have their own forum to do this on if they see fit.
I consider Rebelscum to be a place where friends of ours can communicate. Some of these people have abused this consideration in a manner we can no longer allow.
This is all that will be said on the subject because it doesn't deserve conversation.

Your request has been denied for the display name LandotheScoundre'. looks funny
P.S. If Ed winds up achieving his goal, we'll be sure to toss an update in here for you all. :P
Ironically, I read somewhere along this whole thing where he was telling people that they should apologize, I think that was you Matt before you got banned, right?
LandoftheScoundrel,
Please be advised it's an impolite use of our resources to promote other sites in your posts such as the one quoted below. Please do not do it again.

Where is this posted?!? I need a good laugh at that fat $#$@ expense :)_
I'm officially gone from the RS forums. I was in contact with Philip, and he said that the emails were a term that had to be agreed upon to use their forums. So, I opted for voluntary banning so that I won't get their spam. Hell, I don't need them.
Looks like all of the threads asking all those questions were just deleted and the final terms of the deal are: Accept our spam as is or get the hell out - and don't bother asking questions, they won't be answered.
No spam for me, not on the first one, not on the second round either. Odd? Probably not, I think I blocked RS based emails a long time ago.
I also got the spam again...interesting thing is it came from a different e-Oh, and for those of you keeping score ;), Yes...our favorite troll (whatever the heck that truly means) does lurk here frequently......after my initial post asking about his site, I got a nice e-mail being all tough and mean....it was hillarious....I tried to have a civil conversation with him about our differences (an offer I extend to anybody having a problem with me...no matter what has gone between us in the past) but stated if he got childish the conversation was over......needless to say, after his reply to my reply I let the issue drop. It was just his usual childish "I am better than you" response. Gotta admit, it is quite entertaining....LOL
Anything notable happen in that feedback thread at RS before it got summarily deleted again
I saw this before, and I laughed, a lot! (http://boards.theforce.net/Your_Jedi_Council_Community/b10008/18162820/p1)
Hi everybody,
I'm kind of interested to see just how many forum users post in this manner. It is surprising to me there would be so many people acting so childish in a public forum provided for your enjoyment free of charge.
What is it you hope to gain by posting in this manner? Do you think you are going to hurt my feelings? Does this make you all feel so manly because you have the bravado to post spiteful remarks anonymously like this? Geez, you have some growing up to do.
People like you do not deserve Star Wars, or at least Star Wars deserves better fans than you.
In this forum, you are an invited guest. If you can't act that way, leave. I have no desire to provide a resource for people like you.
I recommend you find another place to post, one that you don't feel the need to spit on. I don't care what you write about me or TF.N, but I do care where you do it. Spitting on me and TF.N has just ended for posters in this forum.
Ian's here now! Good to see you here, you were one of the few intelligent posters left at 'Scum that hadn't abandoned ship yet.
Matt Fury posted a goodbye thread, and while some of us expressed our regret, some of the newbies went on the attack about him being childish. I got into a heated argument with a couple of them.
You didn't miss much Matt... Jedilerious went on about not understanding your "thanks for the fish" tag, etc., and of course ended it with a healthy dose of "git" at the end because I guess he didn't want you over there.
I find it funny so many people would be so willing to let good established members walk away. Not just the administration, but people who actually are invovled in the conversation end of the forums. To me, the more good posters who leave, the less tolerable the community there (if you can call it a "community" anymore) becomes.
Still mad that I'm getting them since I'm banned at RS. >:(
Still mad that I'm getting them since I'm banned at RS. >:(
Isn't that against the law?
I have a Force.net polo shirt that is up for use for anyone at C3 who has a creative idea on using it... Pinatas anyone?
Matt, don't forget John Hamm who also just asked to be banned and said he might drop by.
In the end, in terms of which site is ... devoid of morons like Matkatnadam? You're looking at it.
Now, everyone needs to keep it down or else Lord Philip will hear us! Don't you know how important he is? He created INTERNET and if we don't watch our mouths, he'll ban us all from JD.com too! He can do that, you know, because he is the most important person in the universe! We are all just anonymous peons who would say none of this to his face!
[/sarcasm]
And on that note, I will send five dollars to the first person (with corroborating witnesses from this board) who says it to his face at C3 next week. Extra dollar if he chases you and passes out after three feet of "running." :D
EDIT: I would do it myself, but five dollars to have someone else to do it is easier for my broke ass to handle at this point than paying for a plane ticket and convention access.

I have to disagree with Josh and LJ to an extent here, and again, it all boils down to the quality vs. quantity issue once again. Yeah, having 50 or so people bail on RS the past couple weeks and heading over here to JD probably won't hurt them too much in the post quantity department, since they're likely gaining many new members right now to "replace" them with, due to the ROTS excitement
In the end, Rebelscum is like Wal Mart.
Camera phone?
Huh? ???
Kevin
In the end, Rebelscum is like Wal Mart. It has a lot of everything, and you take the good mixed with the bad. JD is more like a corner drug store where everyone knows your name and they make an awesome milk shake. ;D
You need to get on AIM more often man.
HE FLIP FLOPS ON ISSUES MORE THAN JOHN KERRY! (ZING!) :-*
Didn't know you had a bum PC.
How about hitting the JDChat room?
I'd be careful with those Kerry comments guys. Lots of his supporters roam these parts, from what I've seen... ;)
BUT, consider the members they're in the process of losing there right now... Guys like Darth Anton, Ian_C, Matt_Fury, Sith Lord Chaos, ruiner, Pete_Fett, etc. In addition to the other top notch guys they've stuck the final nail into the coffin of lately, like Jesse James, Kneel Before Zod, CHEWIE, etc...
When you look at those names listed there, it's a veritable "Who's Who" of most of the better members that were still left over there, so that's got to hurt RS's "quality" somewhat, no matter how you slice it. If I could've hand picked some of the mature stragglers still left over there, it would've been those guys.
Wow, and here I was thinking that I was suffering from anonymity over there.
In effect, being a forum-moderator is almost Godlike, as a mod has supreme power over even what people are allowed to say, and can "kill" (ban) a member in that community.
...and not have idiots like matkatanadam (or whatever his name was) telling me I'm an idiot for not appreciating George Lucas' genius prequel trilogy.
As much as it sucks, the fact that 10 or 20 of you guys left isn't going to do a thing to RS as a whole.
If you're wondering how the administration can tolerate it, it's simple. Most of them have no freakin CLUE who anyone over there is. When's the last time you saw Philip cruising through Wuher's or whatever? It just doesn't happen. Sure a lot of the members will miss those who quit in protest, and maybe even some moderators too....but most people barely felt a tremor in the force. Sad really.
I remember last year when I heard Philip fired a bunch of moderators at TFN, and all the people thought it was the end of that site. These days, a lot of people don't even remember it.
So will this matter in the grand scheme? Nah.
Hell, I introduced myself to Philip last year at Comic Con and got barely so much as a hello. And I was on the staff back then. ;D
Who it will matter to is people like me who registered back when you guys were all "the regulars". It means that I will just have to stop by here a little more often....and I'm happy to do that.
I've noticed the posting on this site pick up a little over the past 2 weeks and that's awesome! It'll keep me coming back to chat, that's for sure.
That's the cool thing about JD - the staff makes an effort to get to know everybody. I appreciate that a lot.
Never been banned at any site, so I'm curious about something.
Can you still access and read the forums, and just not participate and read PM's, or are you blocked from the forums entirely?
That's why that site sucks, if you're looking for any type of personal bonding, or recognition for being a decent and respectful member. Ya' just ain't gonna get those things from RS. You should've come over here to JD where you'd be properly appreciated long ago!
Hmm ... respect, recognition, appreciation. I could use some of that. :-[
All you have to do is throw out the fact that you and I live in the same town, and you'll be set.

Hey JoshEEE. I went to check again and Dustin was in the process of removing me as I was replying to your post in the Feedback thread.
Not only that....he deleted the thread as well! Didn't Hitler and Stalin try this same course of action?????
Matt, I understand you're angry with Philip and Dustin, but drawing comparisons to Hitler is really low.
I'm actually waiting on the RS forums to figure out a way to deny direct linkage from JD in any way, shape, or form (if they haven't done so already). Kind of like blocking an IP address, I suppose.

Michael, most sites have the ability to edit their language filters in a customized manner, so it'd potentially be possible for them to enter "JediDefender" as a swear word that gets edited into either the usual *****, or any other creative alternative they'd like to use in it's place. Wouldn't be surprising to see that really... :P
You'll totally get that here. All you have to do is throw out the fact that you and I live in the same town, and you'll be set. JediMAC is like a father figure to me...and now that that clown Scott is off Staff, I get along with everyone!
No worries mate, you'll get more than enough of that here. These guys are nice enough to put up with the likes of me, so it's all good.
For example, I could enter "Josh" into our language filter, and have the output be "dumbass" if I wanted to, so whenever someone typed his name here, or included it in a URL, you'd just see "dumbass" instead of "Josh". That would be rather amusing, wouldn't it?! But Josh and I are buds, and most of the time I don't really think he's a dumbass, so I wouldn't do that to the poor fella!
Ah...I see. Sort of like the voice dialing feature on a cell phone. You should hear some of the aliases some of my friends have. ;D
I've been out there to Tennessee to visit him, and after that week of insanity, I'm neither inclined to be supportive of him, nor of Murfreesburough, or whatever the hell that city's called...
Now Morgbug would be an entirely different story. I think I'll change the word "Brent" to "old fart" here. Now that sounds fun! 8)

Well, something strange seems to be happening over at RS. My account seems to have been deleted according to administration. It's a little frustrating because, as par for the course, I was given no explaination nor offered any suggestions as to what to do next. I was also told that I was not the only one in this boat and that there was very little that they could do.
This seemed to happen when the forum went down on Friday. Has anyone else had this happen?
What are your thoughts? Thanks.
EDIT:
WOW! I just did some more checking, every post I ever made has been removed.

Well I'm sure the JD staff would love to see the vintage community hop on by here. I think it would be great to expand the vintage conversations here, and the big plus is no riff-raff! ;D Pretty much everyone I have seen post in the vintage section here has been collecting for quite some time and/or isn't looking for the quick payoff, but real insight into the toys of yesteryear.
I suppose the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few… or the one.
I think the problems that has plagued RS is foreshadowing of the future. I rarely go over there and if I do post its to laugh at the ridiculous prices or rip off artists in the classified sections.
Well, Jesse and Chewie have both tried to get me over here so, here I am. :P
With RS down for a while I'll need to get my fix somewhere and if I can do that without endless posts of crap in the modern sections I may just stay!

You know, the Rebelscum forums could be up, down, sideways or even change into a gigantic avocado
Nothing like a RS outage to pick up the traffic over here.
NOW...if the JD guys could just figure out how to get folks to stick around, maybe no one would ever go back there. ;D
According to the stats, and what we've seen, the traffic hasn't changed much at all, actually.
Actually, the membership and posting have been steadily increasing since late last year...each month is a new record for posts, hits, etc

here at JD we prefer quality over quantity. It's really that simple. That's not some kind of excuse for us having less posts than RS. That's just a factual statement that the posts here, in comparison to RS, are 100x more intelligent, mature, friendly, knowledgeable, respectful, etc.
But yeah, if you need massive amounts of revolving posts full of newbie and idiotic horse**** to keep you entertained, then RS is definitely the place.
Shortly afterwards, I'm reminded of the lack of quantity when I run out of new posts to read in about 2 minutes.
but either I'm dumb as a post or you're a speed reader because it sure takes me longer than that to catch up on the latest action going on here.
And thankfully those members have been intelligent posters that prefer more than a 3 word response. So to me, we've got quality and quantity.
QuoteAnd thankfully those members have been intelligent posters that prefer more than a 3 word response. So to me, we've got quality and quantity.
Yup. I agree on the quality part. I always used to like the fact that there aren't a lot of "What's your favorite cereal?" threads over here. I just have too much ADD I guess. :)
There....that was almost "bashing" Rebelscum. is that a little better? :P

P.S. Welcome to JD finally, efranks! BTW, we'll need a "real world" name for you though, since this is first name territory 'round here. Good to see Greg's butt back over here too! One of the few original JD invitees that didn't stick around as much as we'd hoped... ;)
The bottom line is that we've got the second most active Star Wars collecting forums on the net, behind only RS, so it's not like nothing is happening over here. We just don't get 50 posts of dribble per minute, that's all...
When you run out of new posts to read, create some new ones!
Like "what's your favorite cereal?" :D
Does anyone go to TFN anymore? Honestly, I've been to that site maybe twice since PW took it over and overhauled the entire thing. I think it's ugly and hard to read. It used to be my number 1 stop for SW news that didn't relate to collecting. Now, worthless.
I always figured it was TFN, RS, then maybe GH, Sir Steves after which JD and the other guys would fall into line.
RS has had a few technical difficulties, and there is a 5 page thread here.
Pretty good for a webisite that so many people hate.
But yeah, statistically, we've been the second most active collecting forums behind only RS for over a year now, by a pretty decent amount too. So that's a big part of the reason we never understand why you often talk about how slow it is here, Josh...
But yes, I'll agree that RS has got a great vintage community, and some good quality posters in the Other Collectibles and Props sections, which should go without saying, since that's where the money is, and it's usually the "older" folks who have the disposable income to dabble in such collectibles.
I do actually like Mark Hurray, who does 'Scum's Q & A though. I've chatted with him on several occasions, and he's good people. As for GH, yep, we definitely like those guys over there, and never question their news either. We usually try to have JD/GH get-togethers whenever there's a convention in town that we're both frequenting.
Yeah, but what do you think about those ******** over at http://CreatureCantina.com ?

>:( Is this the same RS Vinty community I’m thinking about here? Cause most of them started collecting in the 90’s- newbies. I can tell you if there was a migration of those pompous, magnificent liars to JD there would be one less member here (after getting skewered in the anus, I have zero tolerance for most of them, though certainly there’s still many decent collectors there as well) but I suppose the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few… or the one.
Well, Jesse and Chewie have both tried to get me over here so, here I am. :P

E...
Depends on your definition of newbies. I don't think someone who's been collecting since the 90's necessarily qualifies as a newbie. Someone who just started this year is definitely a newbie and there's a lot of those kinds of collectors running around RS. And while I agree that some of them can come off as pompous, I think it's an injustice to call them liars. Unless you have had problems with a wide variety of members there, and usually when there is such a problem it turns out the individual is at fault compared to the group, I think you may be letting occurences with a few members to color your judgment of the community.
The amount of sheer knowledge that the vintage community has in the hobby reaches well beyond just vintage items and would certainly be a great asset to any site that they used as a "homebase." Sadly, they choose to stay at RS, despite the fact they many of them have stated that they don't like it there or have had problems there.
I'd definitely fit that newbie category with respect to vintage. I didn't start collecting SW toys until '95 and not vintage until '03 :-[ Dale's been a tremendous help to me and I'd suggest to DaBigKahuna who started around the same time. I'll certainly lay no grand claims to any amount of knowledge base for vintage.
My guess on the reluctance of the vintage crew to step somewhere else is that they've addressed many of the questions someone as myself may pose and rather than going through it all again which would be quite tedious they can simply pull up an old thread and say read this. I've participated on non-toy sites where the same questions get asked repeatedly and it indeed is tedious to answer them repeatedly. I think that could be addressed by partitioning off the vinty section here simply into two areas, one for experienced collectors and one for more basic needs.
Many of us "veterans" tried to help out, but we got pelted with crap from people who just wanted to shill their own **** and not give back to the group, something against the principles of the FF.

Good times man! You gotta get out to Western PA sometime bud. Glad to have you aboard finally.
Second...
If anything we've worked against increases in traffic at our site considering we like to "weed out" the people who are here to just be peckerheads. And they do show up... Some of them are the people that some of us have had issues with elsewhere, some are just post-padding morons that fit in better at Rebelscum since there's many of their ilk to compete with... But either way we don't just let them play their game, they get das boot. Sure they could increase traffic, but why let them drag our home down? **** that, and **** them.
Third...
Creature Cantina.com sucks. Sorry Bill. You've known this.
Well, I randomly just tried the forums and they were up and there was no announcement on the front page indicating so. So what is the deal? Are they back up now, or will they only work under certain conditions until the forum guy straightens everything up?

Azad Firat's "collection" (http://www.rebelscum.com/c-firat.asp)
(http://www.rebelscum.com/collections/firat/CIMG1198.jpg)
I guess it must be hard to be a collector in Turkey... but hey - different strokes for different folks I guess.
Here's a great collection, but what kind of idiot buys acrylic cases for every crappy POTF2 figure?? Philip Wise... That's who!
I have to chime in here, and I certainly don't mean to step on anyone's toes, but I don't see the problem with any of the photos that RS or any other sites show of someone's collection. Not everyone can afford a huge collection of rare items, and even the people that have such collections with such items are often unable to display them, either for time, space, or money reasons.
In my view, which seems to go right along with yours Lando, someone who has just started collecting and/or displaying the stuff with ROTS has just as much right to show their collection as someone who has been collecting since 1977. I'm not going to judge someone's collection based on what they have vs. what they don't have, how old the stuff is or isn't, or the dollar value attached to it. Some of my favorite pieces in my collection that I am most proud of are things that the majority of people would think are worthless and better in the garbage, but I like them and that's all that matters.
Every one of us started somewhere, with a very small collection, and if someone with a small collection wants to show photos of their stuff, that's all well and good to me. My problem with the situation is that most of the time, those photos and/or ads for some overpriced etailer are the vast majority of that other site's content on the front page. I don't see anything wrong with showing off your collection, regardless of the size, but when that's 90 percent of your "news", then I think it's the site with a problem instead of the collector.
No disrespect intended to anyone whose opinion differs so far in this thread, but a Burger King crown might be as special to someone as a Master Replicas Vader lightsaber prop to someone else. It's all a matter of personal taste. :-\

I understand what you're saying DoctorPadawan, but my point is that this should not be front page news. I like what we have here on JD, where there's a section of the forums devoted to this. I'm all for encouraging people who just started, but when I have a couple minutes during work to check on some collecting news, I don't need to wade through endless collectors' collections pics to find something interesting.

a collection of bottles of piss
Chris, this is your house and if I have crossed a line, I do apologize to you and to everyone else.
As I said earlier in the thread, a Burger King crown might be a person's favorite collectible and mean as much to them as some very expensive or rare piece. As long as what the person has makes them happy, that's all that matters, and it's not my place to judge them for it. :-[
RS, GH and JD pretty much mirror the same news whenever it comes out these days (I'm waiting for the JD post about the Wal Mart bonus pack to pop up on the front page any minute now).
A collection can be anything... a collection of bottles of piss. It's still a collection and while you may not think it is all that much, it doesn't really matter what you think.
So it appears that it took me 5 minutes longer to create the newspost, but I busted my ass to look into this and confirm some of the details.
In just the same way that you say people shouldn't discredit other people's collections, I say you shouldn't discredit other people's efforts to report the news. If you knew how many times we'd beaten RS to the bunch on breaking news, you'd swallow your ******* words.
It's still a collection and while you may not think it is all that much, it doesn't really matter what you think.
Jesus dude, don't get your panties in a knot.

BTW...I think JD should start up a collections section.
BTW...I think JD should start up a collections section.
I think all of the ragging going on in here is pretty ******. While it may be stupid filler for RS to post every collection posted, I don't think anyone has the right to call someones collection stupid or not worthy. A collection can be anything... a collection of coins, a collection of trash, a collection of bottles of piss. It's still a collection and while you may not think it is all that much, it doesn't really matter what you think.Couldn't have said it better myself, Chris.
The original topic started off fine but quickly derailed into bitching about RebelScum (imagine that) and now a ****fest on fellow collector's collections. I'm actually kind of ashamed that this kind of crap is posted here.
You mean like right here?
JD should have a dedicated page outside of the forums for collection pictures and they should update daily like Rebelscum. That would be wonderful.
If any of you guys want to see your collections displayed on our front page, just pm or email me and let me know where to find some pics (or email them to me) and I will be more than happy to post them. We tried to do this a while back and had no takers... maybe now is a better time to try?

Take the pictures from the forum section and post a call-out for collection pics! I'm sure you'll get some response.
I think that the reason most of the major collectors don't contribute to these sorts of things is because they don't want to deal with the attention. I mean, I know a lot of guys who won't even acknowledge that certain pieces are in their collections. They don't want to deal with all the annoying questions and offers to buy their stuff. So they just share within their little circle. Then there's the "I can't believe you paid $1000 for a piece of plastic" crowd they'd have to hear from. So why go through the trouble of taking the photographs when the only people who will appreciate them don't stray from the RS Vintage forums?
I've considered sending in photos myself, but always end up thinking "Do I want everyone who goes to RS to know I have all this expensive stuff in my house?" And I always come to the same conclusion.

I had the same thing happen a few years ago when I posted pics on that other site. People asking for certain figs. I even had this one person who was really belligerent insisting I sell him (at a cheaper price) a bunch of figs because I hoarded them. He sent about 6 really nasty and sometimes threatening emails.
I remember getting a few nasty pm's and emails over some of the pics I posted of my Imperial Army...
5. Saving Luke's life, Vader is redeemed

Yeah, looking at it from the perspective of someone who saw the classics first, I agree with that Jason. Vader's redemption wasn't on my mind watching SW for quite a while. It means something now, but didn't in 1983 and was really surprising if anything.

It just bothers me so much when people claim that the entire Saga was about Vader, even 20 years ago. Yeah I can sorta see the point now with the PT involved, but when it was just the OT the story was Luke's and Luke's alone. Vader was the bad guy plain and simple until the very end, then yeah he had a change of heart but that wasn't the apex of the story. And really in hindsight, should the redemption of a man who murdered little children in cold blood be the selling point of any movie?
Vader was the bad guy plain and simple until the very end, then yeah he had a change of heart but that wasn't the apex of the story. And really in hindsight, should the redemption of a man who murdered little children in cold blood be the selling point of any movie?Not necessarily, but the fact that people CAN be redeemed by their acts and the forgivness of others is an important part of most religions and cultures. It is the crux of Christianity -- repenting and asking for forgiveness of sins.
I agree with most of you about the trilogy not originally being about Vader. Anyone who tells you that they knew in 1983 that the Saga would be about Vader is BS-ing and just trying to look smart. I see the OT as the growing up of Luke and him realizing his destiny, not the death of the villian. While the PT has tried to change the entire Saga to the story of Vader, the OT is definitely Luke's tale.
My first thought when I saw that USA today asked a bunch of folks I know for their thoughts on the saga was "Cool". Not "what lame opinions they have".
If for some reason a national (worldwide even) newspaper ever cares enough about my opinion to ask me for it, I suppose it will also be scrutinized by people who know me on message board too. However, I guess ideally I'd like to think that you guys would say "Hey, cool...they interviewed Josh". ;D

Because a couple of us did some digging a year or two ago, and finally located him in his high school pix in Australia (mostly Scott/OCB's fine detective work really). He threw an absolute shitfit when we discovered his real identity, and proceeded to immediately have his high school's website edited, and then closed off to the public. We actually tracked him down through an old e-mail address that both he and his mother were using. It was quite the wild goose chase, but the goose was eventually cooked, and boy was Greg(g) pissed!
There's a thread in here somewhere, called "World's Greatest Mystery Solved", or something like that.
You've at least seen his picture, haven't you? I'm sure someone can dig that up too if you missed it. Just picture Pat Benatar with a thin moustache, and you're pretty much dead-on. :P

I'd like to say something incredibly rude to you Chris, but my wittiness escapes me. >:( :P
Anyone care to PM me the Bertha pic if they still have it? I never saw it, and I could use a laugh.
Sorry. I didn't mean to imply that ALL young people are naive. I was trying to imply that according Erik Erikson, those from 12 to 18 face an Identity vs Role Confusion stage. During this stage adolescents face perhaps one of the most critical of crisis, the identity crisis where they try to find their identity. There are two outcomes:
Positive outcome: If the adolescent solves this conflict successfully, he will come out of this stage with a strong identity, and ready to plan for the future.
Negative outcome: If not, the adolescent will sink into confusion, unable to make decisions and choices, especially about vocation and his role in life in general.
So which outcome did GNT have according to Erikson?

Those guys are pathetically sad over there. You asked a perfectly valid question Jeff, about "practicing what you preach" or setting an example for others to follow, and instead of their guys saying "hey, you're right, we should probably remove all of the links from our own sigs before punishing our members for having them in their sigs", they totally freak out about JD once again. I don't get it. Well, I do get it, but I'm still always shocked by it...
I'm also quite curious as to why they're allowing one of their moderators to openly support both scalping and pornography in the RS forums. Now that's really bizarre... ???
Thats what I LOVE about JD; the mods and staff act like you are real and don't act condescending.
Thats what I LOVE about JD; the mods and staff act like you are real and don't act condescending.
I look at it more as us just wanting to be part of the gang here at JD, no better and no worse than any of our "regular" members around here. We just do a few official site duties on the side is all. But I can pretty much guarantee you that the staff/mods here could honestly care less about silly titles, power, or any of that other nonsense, unlike at other places where that's all that seems to matter, which is unfortunate.
Quotea guy with over 10 000 posts in less than 6 months was even promoted a mod
Hmmmm, why does that sound familiar?
Anyways, I'm surprised I haven't gotten any warnings, as me and a few other people mention this site quite a bit in their customizing section (the only section there I really visit).

That is some quality photoshopping there.
You know it's sad to think that a way a person looks can, and will, get them ridiculed by people like Diddly here!! For whatever way people have advanced, folks like Travis here show we haven't!! The elitists that look down on those who are different!!
Let me guess Travis, you and your buddies make fun of gays, lesbians, blacks, jews, mexicans, mentally handicapped, any other group that aren't like you and your kind, but I'm sure you use words other than what I did!! Come on, why not show everyone what you're really like!!
Ouch. That's a huge jump in logic, and IMHO quite uncalled for.
See what I mean?!? These guys are all totally cruel, every last one of 'em. Buncha internet bullies, they are... >:(
Most definitely, Nathan. That's a pretty asinine statement by Lady Jaye there. Seeing as how it's so ridiculously stupid though, we'll leave it up. ;) (unless Travis asks us to yank it)

I was curious if it was because she participated in that "My Friend's Website" porn thread without deleting the porn link. That thread was active for at least 8 hours after it was posted... live link and all.
But that's just a theory. I don't have any reliable info.

Hey JM, you can step down from the soap box!! Once you see one of my auctions, you can preach on about my evil ways!! But not until you do so!! I've been fighting the good fight just as long, perhaps even longer than you!!
I guess it is ok to sell on ebay if you're a college student supporting your colecting habits!!! Yay!! It's off to ebay I go!!!
Yea I'm begining to soften up. I mean it that's all you do is hunt toys and sell em then [censored] on you. But if you pick up an extra or two, but don't wipe out the store, then keep some and trade some, and finally put some on ebay, then that's cool I guess!! You know a lil funds to support your hobby!!!
Wow, it's funny how the scum plays an important role over here, and that you guys still go over there??? Why?? Just curious?? For a place most of you all dislike, you all know the happenings!! ;D

Banned for saying the dog should eat chocolate!
I'm glad they banned him for that one. Infact I suggested it in that thread. There's no excuse for making an offhanded "tongue in cheek" comment that could kill someone's dog - especially without any use of smilies or ANY indication that it was a joke until he got called out on it.
I mean, Matt's got one of the biggest feedback lists, he was nothing but helpful over there (as he is over here and elsewhere), and Scum locked his feedback thread. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! You have someone who's obviously a community asset, who works overtime to make the hobby better, and they locked the all positive feedback for him because they're bitter.
Matt did establish a good list, he did help a lot of people out, and respecting that should have been the way to go... It didn't happen that way, and ultimately it's no skin off Matt's ass and he knows that, but that's the kind of thing that someone should be talking about but you know you'd be shut up quicker than you could blink and your words would disappear with the click of a mouse button if you did make mention of it.
it's really not a big deal that it got locked is it?
Not to play devil's advocate again (I know how much you all hate Rebelscum) but....why is it so bad that they locked that feedback thread? Matt's not a community asset to RS in their eyes, or they would have kept him around.
Don't get me wrong (notice I have a post in that very thread from a trade with Matt 2 months ago). I like Matt as much as anyone. But why do you care if a feedback thread at a site you don't even use gets locked?
"You're Phillip Wise's Rick McCallum"
"You're Phillip Wise's Rick McCallum"
About the dog thing:
Really, who's worse...the guy that joked about giving a dog chocolate or the yutz who went to a SW forum for his pet's needs rather than a vet or even an animal-related website? Honestly, that's just flat out stupid. Maybe Dark Destiny's comment was off-color, but in my opinion the original poster deserved a lot more flak than that sarcastic remark. And for those saying "what if the owner didn't know and actually gave him chocoloate"...are you kidding? Anyone that doesn't know that dogs can't eat chocolate shouldn't own a ******* dog.
As far as his banning, I think that was a big harsh as well. I like Dave, but I think he acted a bit hastily, assuming the comment was the sole reasoning behind the banning. He should have at least been warned first.
As far as Dustin:Quote"You're Phillip Wise's Rick McCallum"
Solid...*******...gold. :D

As for his banning, DD has been warned before about saying this and other negative stuff. It was just the straw that broke the camel's back. I normally wouldn't want another member to be banned, but DD was always nasty,
usually just for the sake of being mean and watching his post count go up in the process, rarely adding anything to a real conversation
I decided to check out this forum after being banned. Little did I know that I would be the topic of discussion. I think this whole situation is insane. It was clearly a joke and I was banned not for the comment, but because of the reaction to it.
Anyone who was offended really needs to lighten up. I think it's a pretty damn well known fact that chocolate can kill a dog. I know the poster is a kid and I am also quite sure that he made the post just for ***** and the events discussed did not really occur. Even if they did, posting about it on a toy forum is completly inappropriate.QuoteAs for his banning, DD has been warned before about saying this and other negative stuff.

What the hell are you talking about? I was never warned about doing anything. I'm a unique guy, and I like to display that on the forums. I say what's on my mind instead of conforming to the general generic opinion. It's so dry there and I just wanted to add some... pizzazz.

Post count? What the ****? You've got to be ******** me.
Anyway, just wanted to state my case...
You know, I called you a dick in this thread and I may have been thinking of someone else entirely... I may be confusing you with another poster with "Dark" in their name. In fact, I thought as much right after I posted the remark, but never edited it. Wouldn't be the first time I stuck my foot square in my mouth....

Ugh. I honestly don't know what gets on my nerves more...the mods at RS or the incessant bitching and moaning about scalping. So the guy tried to sell something available at retail for more than cost? Big ******* deal...ignore him and move on.

Or AT LEAST click on the little URL button they provide for you and paste the ridiculously long URL into the first field, and a word or two into the other.
Pisses me off every time...
How do I report a post? ???What'd I do?! Isn't this sort of thing open for discussion?! ???
The drama over there is usually good for a laugh - its kind of the Buster Keaton meets the Keystone Cops of the collecting community (or maybe its Stir Crazy). But this little scalper episode really brought the flamers out of the woodwork. That back and forth was more painful than humorous. Sheesh. It was like, Level I flaming.Totally man... The drama there is horrible! "OH NO SPIES FROM ANOTHER STAR WARS MESSAGE BOARD IS TRYING TO SPAM US!" ::)
So who else here thinks Rebelscum has gone hill over the year?
God its so boring there now... ::)
Well...what was disturbing to me about it is the amount of 10 year old retards we had arguing that scalping is totally ok.
U suc, U wanna be a mod so ur kissing up to them! Joe Rules!
It's a 2 or 3 year trend that you've woken up to.
For those aware of the cretin..Yea.... I can't believe they let him back. :P
it would seem greenday has reared his ugly mug again.

Not to be rude or anything, but who cares really? They dug their own grave and now they sit in their own ****. The site is a complete and utter joke. You have an account here. You most likely have an account at a couple of the other respectable sites. Post here, or at those. :)
Like Chris said... You have an account here and I really think you're a welcomed member over here. So "who cares?" as he says? Scum's a resource now, and nothing more. There hasn't been a "community" at that site for years now, and there never will be anything more than an uncontrollable, uncared for meeting place for people to get together in my view. We've been hopping in activity, we're happy as a clam with that, and we actually care about this place from the forums to the front page and back again. To me, Scum's a place to consider doing some trading (though given how many scalpers and con-artists frequent it now without close supervision, I am wary of that as well), and as a vintage section read now and then... Otherwise the inmates run the asylum and I personally don't want to interact with that too often.Been there over a year and a half. When I first got there, there used to be a good community sort of... But since those few months it has gone to ****. I'm really disappointed in rebelscum... Guess I'll just have to get used to Jedi Defender! ;D
I'm kinda new here, and I know who MisterKenobi is from my days at RS, but why does everyone around here dislike him so badly? Just curious... don't think for a second that I intend to stand up for the guy...
Yeah IG-88 is an icon - an icon for what a few SW nerds with no lives can turn a prop into.
This Bib looks like he has Downs Syndrome or something.Where do you even start with a quote like that? Not only is it insulting to people but it's something you teach children to know better than to joke about publicly... I'm sure anyone with a special needs person in their lives really appreciates that kind of comment, I know my brother would have probably snapped his neck if he heard him say that in person considering my neice has Downs.
A-p-o-l-o-g-y.
People who hate Jar Jar = entitled to their own (wrong) opinions.Again, at what point is any forum accepting blatant random insults and mudslinging as proper behavior? Hell's bells, even kindergarten classes have more tact.
People who hate TPM because of Jar Jar = idiots.
Boo hoo.
Lamest thing ever in the history of the Earth = counting down posts.
Please, don't EVER compare this trash to a decent show like Chapelle Show again. Please. Feel free though to show why this show sucks in contrast.
You don't have to disect my posts, Bobby.
And think about it... no one would be able to join to spam us, or scalp, or troll. Life would be so much better!
The mods don't need your help. If they did, I think they would ask you for it. But you do this in every single thread that is remotely copied.And low and behold one more quote and the guy's telling people not to mod anyone, yet in the same goddam thread he's telling people how to post and behave... I mean, holy hell does he re-read this stuff or just hit reply all willynilly without ever thinking about what he just said?
And I'm all for showing someone an existing thread, but seriously do it in PM, or at least don't act so special when you show them. There are four buttons at the bottom of every post. One of them is the report button. Try it out.
And Skyhouker, I'm surprised to hear post-padding babble from a guy who has like 10 threads in the classifieds that you bump 2-3 times a day sometimes.
I mean, holy hell does he re-read this stuff or just hit reply all willynilly without ever thinking about what he just said?
Anyway, I think the point's made why people dislike him... It's just so damned easy to do so.

Wow, that thread really took a turn didn't it? That's one of the most bizarre threads I've had the dubious privilege of laying eyes on.
You're flaming my thread [censored]! Get outta here and stop talking to mods like you think you know what you're talking about after being a member for 2 weeks. You're a noob and a troller and you have NO idea what you are talking about. Nobody wants you here and all you do is cause trouble. Go do it I'm some one else's thread.
Making fun of others because of the way they look!!
Making fun of Scum here is about the only place you can do it though and get it off your chest. With our new people coming in periodically it's inevitable it flames up, plus many people still visit this, that, and the other site too... It's gonna come up, and a lot of it gives me a good laugh for the day.
BTW I missed that thread and I doubt any of you did a copy did you? I'd like to have read through the bafoonery.

I emailed the conversation to the webmaster requesting that dickface be banned. The webmaster emailed me and said something like: "Whatever happens in PM isn't considered for banning/suspending anyone... just ignore him"
What can one say about MisterKenobi that hasn't already been said....
He's making a strong push for the title of Biggest P.O.S. in Rebelscum history.
Which is incredible given the strong competition.

Before GNT had me banned, I remember posting in RS' Feedback section was probably the easiest way to get suspended/banned... You're there trying to give creative criticism, because you care about your community, and then your thread is locked with either no mod comment at all, or a smartass remark - or a suspension for finding fault in the site.
DBB has no reason to close the original Cobain thread. JOHN made some comments, but 95% of the content was interesting posts about Kurt Cobain. Like L J said, DBB locked the thread, and sided with M-Kenobi.
Hold the phone partner...are you actually saying that *I* made some negative comments in the Cobain thread? Please tell me you're not serious.

Note the title of this thread is "Who Misses Grunge Rock?" not "Who Doesn't Miss Grunge Rock". If you don't like it, fine, but you have no right to belittle other people's views.
Well, I think it was Bertha who said that it has everything to do with the volume of traffic they see... but I don't really agree with that. I don't think that if JD had X hundreds more people roaming around in here, we'd have the same problems as RS... because I think most of RS' problems lie with their administration.
Must we remind ourselves, that M-KENOBI has " other members on [RS] board are my friends. They look up to me" and we must conform to his view of the SW world and other matters. ::)
By the way....it would be really cool if there was just a big "Rebelscum talk" topic that could always house this sort of conversation. I find that it's a never-ending topic, but it continues from thread to thread over here as each one is eventually locked. ;D

If this place suddenly became the juggernaut that Rebelscum is, you guys would need 4 or 5 more full time moderators just to keep the newbies contained. I think Rebelscum needs at least that many more

I've actually mentioned this before. I think a very large part of the reason this site is so cool and mellow is because it doesn't have a lot of readers. When a troublemaker comes in, he's easy to target, watch and eventually remove.
If this place suddenly became the juggernaut that Rebelscum is, you guys would need 4 or 5 more full time moderators just to keep the newbies contained. I think Rebelscum needs at least that many more, and that's probably their biggest problem is that they've never had it. Crazy trolls would never be allowed to survive as long as some of the ones over there have.
I do agree with you about the feedback forum though. Recently, I actually thought "Misterkenobis" idea about having noobs unable to post new threads was a great one. I visit some other forums that don't let you start new topics until you've been there for a little bit and they are much easier to find info on. It was quickly dismissed, maybe because Matt started it and he's not exactly a beacon of common sense over there. I thought it was a good idea though.
But yeah, it seems like (ironically) some of the most constructive feedback for Rebelscum happens over here. Over there, good ideas, complaints or comments get locked, buried or completely removed. If they're in the feedback section where they belong, they are usually just locked...which is better than Wuher's where they often get completely hidden. The last really big suggestion I remember getting pushed through was the removal of the post count, and that was quite some time ago. These days, I think they need more staff, a more watchful eye on the scalpers in the community, and a few more sections to help sort out the clutter.
That's one reason why JD is really cool. I have a feeling if there was a problem over here, we'd be able to talk about it openly. However, I have a feeling that instead, we'll end up talking about problems over there indefinitely, because this site is probably going to remain a cool hangout like it is now.
By the way....it would be really cool if there was just a big "Rebelscum talk" topic that could always house this sort of conversation. I find that it's a never-ending topic, but it continues from thread to thread over here as each one is eventually locked. ;D
I definitely think they should hire some more mods
I think you guys would be surprised at A) just how little anyone there actually gives a ****, and B) just how much the staff here actually DOES give a ****.
I can safely say that yes a massive influx would be handled appropriately here... Our staff are very vigilant about who's here, who's saying what... And of course where they're saying it. It's an underestimation to assume we couldn't handle ourselves with a larger population than we currently have. Would we hire new? Good chance we would just for our own ease, but I can tell you we would still run a better forum than Rebelscum, and I 100% firmly believe every word of that to be true. It's not a matter of how many people, but a matter of how much you actually give a **** about what's going on at your site.
Case in point, it appears to me fraud and scalping are increasingly bigger problems there day after day... No action = No Importance, not their being "overwhelmed". We've had our fair share of trolls, "newbs/noobs", douchebags, and instigators. They're gone... They're not tiptoed around, they're not sided with... Some get a brief shot to improve and are gone, others are gone with their first foot-in-mouth asinine words. There's people there to deal with it... They just choose not to.

Sideshow Anakin Part II. But there's no evidence of it; Dave's a ***** and deleted my comments. Probably because they made sense.

You're nuts.
Hey Dave, do you get brownie points or something if people post in threads you start? It seems kind of unneccesary to close those other threads, to me at least. I'm new here and used to less oppresive mods, so maybe everyone is used to this kind of thing.
It's a good thing you all choose to make fun of me here, where you know I can't defend myself. Must be easy to make fun of people whom you THINK won't hear about it.
If you don't like me, fine. I can handle it.
Anyways, I'm sure I'll be banned before I get any decent replies.
Oh and MAC - good seeing you again buddy! ;)
Ya' know, I think we'll let you stick around a little longer to continue this conversation if you'd like, since it does nothing but prove everything that's already been said about you here...

I hope you ban me soon because I don't want to be affiliated with this pile of dung forum for any exhorbant amount of time.

Jumped on the bandwagon I see.
Please don't ban him again yet, I need him around a little while so I can get some fresh material for future sig lines ;D

JD has this awesome tolerance policy of banning people they don't like for the way they act in OTHER forums.
Awwwwwwww ;D
You guys just don't know how endearing it is to drop by good ole Jedi defender and see that you retards are still obsessing over me. And Zod, that avatar, I know I'm an ugly fat guy but you don't have to flaunt my porkchop mug all over your boards. Perhaps your lustful feelings for me go deeper than the other cutiepies here who just can't get over themselves. And I guess the true maturity level of JD has finally boiled over the brim when a grown man needs to take the photo of the apple of his eye and alter it so all the other kids can get horny, too, while other members immortalize my dip**** comments in their sig files.

Must be easy to make fun of people whom you THINK won't hear about it. As far as you babies crying over being schooled over at RS for flaming me, perhaps it just never occured to you all that I may be right? I am, in fact, the son of God. Maybe DBB isn't my friend. Maybe we've had as much sex as Britney and Kevin, and maybe Dustin doesn't like my chin hair on his ass cheeks as much as DBB. Trust me I have no mods or admins in my pocket, they just happen to agree that there is no better lover than me!
Well you're all on my ignore list over at RS (per instruction of my "boyfriends" on the RS staff) so we won't be having any problems there. You should do the same. It would seem like the adult thing to do rather than dream about me and come cry to JD about it when a mod gets to touch me in places that you can't. Just ignore me. If you don't like me, fine. I can handle it. Honestly I don't like any of you either and could give a **** less if you fell out of my bed right now and died. Why? Because I don't want anymore STDs. DBB gave me plenty already. I don't care about any of you as much as DBB and Dustin. I know you still have these hardcore obsessions with me, but the feeling's not mutual. Get over me. This ship has sailed.
Anyways, I'm sure I'll be banned before I get any decent replies. JD has this awesome tolerance policy of banning people that won't sleep with them based on me being a fat retard. Maybe that's why JD has 1,000 people who do nothing but cry about me while I have real friends. But, should the lovely staff of this facility care to settle the score and let me stay do defend myself, and maybe do a little striptease for ya, as opposed to booting me and letting the one-sided bitch-fest ensue, I would be happy to partake in any compromising acts that you'll let me! If not, then I'll see you next time I get around to erasing my cookies. And I will come back. I have fans to please 8)
Thanks for all the hard work and dedication at making me a legend ;)... Watch out, John Holmes!
Love always,

Big words, Krull. Jumped on the bandwagon I see. And congrats on your ban as well.
Watching this site over the past few months has given me quite a few laughs as well. This site should just be renamed "Rebelscum's Rejects and Refugees" or "Philip's Sloppy Seconds". What a circle-jerk of rejects you guys are. I hope you ban me soon because I don't want to be affiliated with this pile of dung forum for any exhorbant amount of time.
Oh and MAC, I wan't disappointed at all. Your minions handled the bitch-fest quite well. I'd almost gone as far as to think that you'd finally grown up. I'm proud of you.
Guys, stop picking on the guy. Can't you see he just needs some affection?
He was so happy! I think if we all just gave him a big hug he'd be nice to all of us. :-*

Matt PM'd me and asked me to repost this for him... He edited it with his true feelings.
So....did someone ban Matt again?
(Text Cut)
Seriously though, I've actually seen him be decent over there from time to time...so I know it's possible. I'm not sure what it takes to make him turn off the "Dark Side" switch, but there's gotta be something.
Now what is the purpose of locking holiday threads it isnt talking about religion, all they are doing is wishing people happy holidays.
Needless to say, there are others there who are allowed to have a number of SW collecting sites mentioned in their signatures. I guess PW is now trying to stamp out all competition.
Since we are talking RS again this week, I guess I should let you all know that my account at RS was banned/deleted last Thursday...
Apparently, you are no longer allowed to point out any hypocrisy (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1500312&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#1500312) that the RS Mods/Admins may posess.
The Admins over at RS were issuing warnings to forum members who have links in their signatures, citing this passage from the "official" RS forum rules: "But using forum posts, or links in your signature designed to promote another Star Wars collecting website is not permitted. "
One admin in particular went so far as to say "If you truly respect the community you will choose to follow the same guidelines everyone else respects".
So, then I asked why at least 3 of the Admins/Mods over there all have links in their signatures that were "designed to promote another Star Wars collecting website "? If they truely respected the community, shouldn't they have to follow the rules too?
And, as you can all guess - I did not get a straight answer, I only ended up with "Your account has been banned or locked" and an e-mail stating my affiliation with JD was the cause of my ban. ::)
Speaking of RS's rules, I got my signature removed...the same one I have here. It's been in my name for 2+ years and nobody has said a word until now. I wasn't actively promoting the other site. Dustin was also kind enough to stick a copy of the "rules" for signatures and not promoting other sites.
Needless to say, there are others there who are allowed to have a number of SW collecting sites mentioned in their signatures. I guess PW is now trying to stamp out all competition.
And what is your site anyway? Take the opportunity to give it a free plug :D
Jeremy
Yea, good ol Greenday came back for another round of apologys followed by insults!! This short bus rider is definately annoying!! >:( ;D
That is some stuipid **** thats happening there with the hoilday threads getting lock because there are reglious. One thing that I wonder about through is the fact that only the Chanukah threads have been lock over there and none of the Chirstmas threads have been lock. I know that the staff here doesn't like a certain word being used to describe RS but there better either lock all the Christmas threads or else look like those I can't talk about.
Yeah. That's ridiculous. I guess the guys at RS really are nazis.
...There's plenty of good staffers at Scum I'm sure...
Jackasses will suffice... They're not anti-semites, Nazi's, Fascists, pedophiles or anything else "over the top" for running their site like ****... Jackasses I can definitely live with though. :)
Know what I mean?
Also, for the record, I know that it was Dustin who closed at least one of the Chanukah threads.
Ok, someone's going to have to tell me what happened to the thread where the guy was quitting collecting Justice League figures because they released a holiday employees only toy, and I told him it was the same thing as Gentle Giant Holiday busts.
Hal Jordan Green lantern figure.
Kevin

As for the whole quitting collecting thing, I never got that either.

Reminds me of the hoopla over the press kits. People were very angry they weren't avaiable to the public.
Oh well, they'll get backlash from the info leaking onto the net. Just like Playmates did with their 1301 figures!!
Interesting! (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1579634&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#1579634)Closed due to "converse" being the nom de jour of Greenday most likely... He showed up last night at GH as xxrebelxx... already dealt with...
Teh Stoopidest Kid on teh Indernet made a brief appearance here today as well.
I'm eagerly awaiting a new petition.

Heck I've been banned from there 3 times this year.
Was it for posting that link Mojo??
It's not my business, so if he comes here while I'm on, I'll just ignore his posts.
Okay, did anyone else notice these annoying "Vibrant Media" spam links on RS today? What a worthless piece of **** that thing is.
It's ridiculous. It turns every news page on RS into an advertisement to buy something. Even the Question Mark section. It used to be that software had to be installed on your local computer for that type of thing to work...and THAT was all malware that we were finally able to do away with using programs like Ad-Aware and Spybot. But not this insidious thing.
Crap.
E...
Do you mean to say they've sunk to an all time low?
Kevin
Of course, Philip did get quoted basically saying he should have supported another property like LOTR because Jackson and the licensees were more in touch with fan sites over the LOTR license than SW Licensees are.
... and I'm sharping my claws... ;)
BTW Greenday's someone we're generally well aware of, contrary to elsewhere. At the moment it's like a cat toying with a mouse... So to speak.
He's Baack!! (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1591834&page=0&vieollapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#Post1591863#1591834)
Anyone know where that kid is? I have a lot of connections, maybe I could call in some favors, have someone toss him a beatin'.

When he first showed up, he said Fairfax, Virginia. In the thread LJ linked to, he claims Springfield, VA. He lies a lot, and has said a lot of different places before.
I would beat them all, systematically, until you happened upon Greenday. If you didn't, you still beat the crap out of a bunch of emo kids... 8)
I guess GreenDay just enjoys ******* with everyone? If he wanted to stay around, he wouldn't advertise that he was Greenday...
And Rayne getting banned is probably the lowest of all lows. Someone get him over here!
http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1591280&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=31&fpart=1#1591280
:o
Does anyone know the story? I've known Rayne for a couple years, and needless to say, I highly doubt his suspension was called for. He's been a great asset to the forums there and is a great guy.
Thanks for the support and the invite guys. Who knows what the future will bring .....

BTW... Greenie is now using the name rebel_girl and posting at all three sites (including JD)...
what an idiot
Guys, Greenday isn't that bad, if you actually talk to him. He does that stuff on purpose just to see how much they talk about him. I was IM'in him last night and he was pretty cool.

I would be. If it got me an invite to Rancho Obi-Wan I'd be even more proud...it shows that work you're putting into the hobby is appreciated and respected.
All I get is a "Your site sucks" and "Write more headlines!!" ;)
E...
So.... seriously, who the hell are all those people? I want names for faces, people! Front row L to R, Back row L to R!!! ???
Philip lost his teeth already? :D
I wonder how long before Chris Berry wants us to dress alike at Conventions?
Yeah, before you know it, some idiot on staff will be ordering T-shirts. ::) ;)
Anyhow, don't tell me you guys wouldn't wear a JD shirt and go to Steve Sansweet's house to help him set up his Star Wars memorabilia museum!!
Heck, if you are all going to be dressing alike, I thought the natural choice would be pink sweaters... ;)

Who gives a ****? So some ******bag gets his jollies by posting under numerous aliases, thus pissing people off. Here's a hint - that's what he wants. Ignore him and he'll go away.
So did all these people ever get their money back from Gareth. This story is news to me as well!! More info is appreciated Anton!!
Whatever!! Go troll somewhere's else!!
Everyone has their own criteria about this kind of thing.
Conceivably, however does it really matter that much, honestly?
Well whatever you say Virex. No matter what I do or say you will always have that opinion of me
The thing is Alex, that it really doesn't matter in the long run. I mean honestly, does adding an extra punctuation mark, or two, in all reality hurt or really offend anyone here. I mean truthfully does it really? It's a Star Wars forum, it's not a research paper, not a report for work. It's just a place to come by and discuss toys of all things, a place to relax and enjoy yourself. Why can't you just see that, or is the discussion the ultimate goal of all this?
So what do you propose I do then Matt? What's the point if your opinion will never change, not that I care what someone in Oklahoma thinks of me. I mean can you answer that, what would be the point of changing?
Not really, since a lot of members here already have an opinion of me, and no matter what I do it won't change! Like you, you've brought over from rebelscum a pre-conceived notion of me. And even though I'm vastly different that how I was in 2001, you won't ever give me a chance. Guess I should feel sorry for ya for being so set in your ways that you can't see the truth in front of you.
Not really, since a lot of members here already have an opinion of me, and no matter what I do it won't change! Like you, you've brought over from rebelscum a pre-conceived notion of me.
But the thing is, that you and others still have a prejudice against me, and no matter what I do or say, you will find something against me and use it. Tell me, I'm not right? Honestly!Honestly, you're not right. I don't know you from Adam -- just what you brought here yourself is all I know of you. You're supposed to leave your baggage at the door -- not drag it in here with you.
Actually, I only know you from the forums here, and I must say, when I see one of your posts where you overuse the exclamation point, I tend to automatically discount whatever it is you are saying. It is terribly distracting and unnecessary.
Well....
Here's the Gareth thread (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB41&Number=1399681&page=3&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1) in question. The reason why no knows about it is beacuse, dispite the fact that almost all who got taken were in America, Jeremy desided that a thread in the feedback section was not needed and kept only the one thread opened in the Europe section where all the American forum members would natually look.
I could be wrong, but I think Gareth was coddled.
Well like I said, to each his own Matt. Why do you feel you have to get angry, offensive, and rude. You are capable of having a discussion without reverting to name calling, right?
It's very appropriate that this thread is titled "Rebelscum". The way people are whining about nonsense in this thread made me think that for just a second, I logged into the wrong Forum.

It is, you're right. Just like using extra punctuation is mine!!

And that's a scary thought.
That said, if anyone ever gives me **** for putting "..." everywhere in my posts, I'll kick your ass!! :P
What's the diference between using an extra exclamation point or two and always adding your name at the end. It's not like we don't know who in the hell just posted a reply!! ::)
Tell ya what Kevvo, you stop with the name at the end of the reply and I'll use only one punctuation mark?
Oh, and before I forget, what theDuh!!****hellheck does my being from Oklahoma have to do with anything?

And Chris if you want to ban me for using extra punctuation, so be it!! I can't stop you, it's your site, and your perogative.
Oh, let's not get into this tired old "that's not me in the picture!" argument again.
We all know it's you, and there's no proof that it's not.
(Of course, this opens up the whole "it's impossible to prove something doesn't exist" debate, which is a whole nother can of worms in and of itself, and this isn't the appropriate time or place.)
But, let's get real. It's you.
Yeah, but I don't care if Gregg doesn't like it. He can't run in here and start calling me Robvo. Regardless of where the image originally came from, you posted it now.
I could care less, but don't try to act like you weren't responsible for your post.

The reason why no knows about it is beacuse, dispite the fact that almost all who got taken were in America, Jeremy desided that a thread in the feedback section was not needed and kept only the one thread opened in the Europe section where all the American forum members would natually look.
I could be wrong, but I think Gareth was coddled.
I actually followed that thread from the begninning (or close to it). It appeared that Gareth was trading items he didn't yet have, weaving a tangled web that eventually came apart on him. I remember several instances where members suggested he was being coddled, only to be shut down by the moderator, and I believe in once case even threatened with suspension.

Alex if I had done something truly wrong, I would own up to it. But come on, extra punctuation that's what you want me to own up to!! I've never denied it.
And Virex, whatever. If you want to claim the high road, even though you have been name calling all night. ::)

Nobody really gives a flying ****. Take this pissing match to PMs.
As far as you being dissapointed in me, sorry to hear that. I truly am. But it takes time to open up, and with me getting slammed left and right for such things as punctuation, you should be able to see why I am hesistant to open up.
But I guess the damage is beyond repair.
I'll work something up tomorrow that should be able to pass as a legit photograph.
She works for Official Pix and handles a lot of that. She handled all the volunteer stuff for C3 too.
Nice lady.

And is it just me, or does Myatt look a whole hell of a lot like Dave Coulier (RIP)?
BTW, can anyone name all of those people from left to right? Are they all from Rebelscum?

As for handles and such, I think it's respectable to use your real name. Because I don't want to be known as IndianaVader if I was seen in real life.

Well, add me to the list of those banned at Rebelscum :-\
"Abuse of the PM system"
"Abuse of the PM system"
I write PMs all the time. And I never delete them (over 400 currently listed). Am I going to be banned too?? ::)
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.
You are a voive of reason and your posts are always well thought out at scum.
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.

Have you considered the possibility that your PM wasn't reported? Admin's there are probably able to read your sent messages.
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
Maybe, in order to be considered respectable and legit, you have to be banned there at least once?
Maybe, in order to be considered respectable and legit, you have to be banned there at least once?
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.

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.

As nice as they were, you can still get banned just for mentioning another site's name over at RS, regardless of which site it is. Hell, we all got banned because we had links to JediDefender in our signatures, or even less - used our JediDefender email accounts as our email accounts when signing up at RS.
So it doesn't matter how nice or cordial you're messages were, you broke one of the golden rules. No one mentions any other site outside of RS at RS. Automatic ban.
I realize that its against the rules, but its shady that some guy I PMed nicely got pissed and reported me. ::)
I really truly appreciate everyone who said something.

Just recently, JoshEEE had posted a link to the "Lazy Sunday" parody rap on SNL, which another poster had mentioned was discussed heavily in an also-recent SNL discussion.

And, just to play Devil's Advocate for a moment, is it not just a bit uncouth (or at least a little unWise) to use one forum's PM system to invite people to a competitor? Philip's got such a bug up his ass about anyone even mentioning a competing website over there (wasn't the original Wampa's Cave thread closed and deleted/moved?), that if it were me, I think I'd try to find alternative means of inviting people to a new message board.
Wampa's Cave isn't trying to be in competition with Rebelscum.

Oh, and 18 inches.
I always wondered a few things since I left RS:
Do they have a thread in Wuher's discussing JD?
Would you get banned if you posted a link to the Official SW site in your post/signature/profile?
Would you get banned/suspended if you did not use the RS add to get to Master Replicas? PW seems to have a real hard-on for that, does he get a nickel or something everytime someone clicks on that link?
Rebelscum would be great if old posters like Virex and OCB came back.

You'd think so, but that Durge ****** wrecked their forums so badly, that if even Jesus Christ himself came back to Earth and started posting there tomorrow, he still couldn't save it from the way Durge left it.
I swear, I don't know what I'd do if I ran across him on a forum again...

No. You are not allowed to discuss any other site at RS other than RS, in any way, shape, or form.
As for Phillip's mind boggling hypocrisy, most of you aren't even aware of the best one ever: Remember the whole spam issue over at RS last April? (which in part led to my banning there, along with some **** I said about Phillip and Dustin over here) Well, there was an e-mail message that got sent out by someone to all of the admins/webmasters/site owner's of the various Star Wars collecting websites several months ago, about some Master Replicas news information (Chris Berry got it here), and Phillip shockingly threw a hissy fit about receiving this message he considered to be "spam" (it wasn't from MR). I don't specifically recall all the details at this point, but considering Phillip's "spam" rant over this issue wasn't too long after the infamous "You don't like our spam? Get a life and move along" comment from Phillip to many of his RS members in their own feedback forum after he sent out his RS (Toys'R'Us) spam to his whole forum, his hypocrisy knows no bounds.

The last thing I need is more email in my inbox that doesn't belong there.
No. You are not allowed to discuss any other site at RS other than RS, in any way, shape, or form.
As for VVD's banning over the PM invites, I'm not at all surprised. Cordial and polite, or not, that's not the point. Phillip refuses to let anyone promote any competing site on his site, unless they're a staff member. I'd be surprised if there's actually a written rule over there about it though, at least about using the PMs that way. I know they throw a hysterical shitfit now over the links, but monitoring PMs is asinine. Hell, that's how Scott (OCB) and I pretty much got JD's forums really off and running here several years ago, and I know lots of folks that still do it to this day. Like Fatty said, for the gorilla of collecting sites to sweat any of the others is just pathetic. It's like a millionaire getting pissed that he didn't get his quarter returned from the pay phone. It shows how truly petty, insecure, and money hungry Phillip is.
And Alex, if I were you, I'd flip back 10 or so pages in this thread and find Cable's post. You might find it enlightening... ;)
The point of me saying that the PMs were nice and cordial isn't against Phillip. I realize rules are rules, and I broke the rules.
I totally forgot about the Cable quote for a while and was just like "WTF Virex?!?". Thankfully a couple other members here explained it to me and set me straight.
Durge was the personification of everything wrong with the world today. He was the first character I've ever met (online or otherwise) that I'd burn down in the street just because.
Like, is it against the law to have sex with your cousin? No (and I've checked). But will it get you kicked out of the trailer? You betcha. That type of deal.

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen Phillip's left nut Dustin in person before or is he just an imaginary jackass?

It was difficult to see what this guy looks like from that stupid avatar he had up on RS forever with him making that gay pride sign or whatever the hell it was. I just figured I would just look for the big vag. walking around at the next Star Wars function and that would probably be him.

I can't beleive he's a Mod there, heck I can't believe I am either ???
And why are all four members staff there? ::)
Someone should tell that person that you need to paint the drywall after you tape and spackle it.
A thought just occured to me. If this "chase" figure program really is a chase figure situation, who thinks the forums over there are just going to implode? Think about it. These chase figures are going to cause a huge stir, and not in a good way. RS has allowed a their Collect to Collect philosphy to go by the way side and the forums are now filled with people who scalp, whether they accept the definition or not. By human nature, all of those people are going to get into major fights due to jealousy and the mods, or lack there of, are going to be overwhelmed.
I remember when that "Collect to Collect" medal was proudly displayed on the forums page.
I haven't seen that medal in years.

I forgot all about that medal... damn... They took it down about 2 years ago, at least. I need to dig around and see if I might have a picture of it somewhere. I seriously doubt it, though.
I don't think that Rebelscum as an entity has started supporting scalping or something. I think there are a lot of people there (myself included) that still believe in "Collect to Collect".
The problem isn't with the philosophy. It's simply that they don't have enough good moderators left to shut down every instance of scalping that pops up there. I still report posts when I see them, and I have a feeling if everyone else did too.....those people that think it's ok to do that would eventually get the hint and leave.

All in all, Josh, you hit it on the head, it'a all in the moderators. I have never, ever seen one moderator step in a specifically say that scalping talk is frowned upon, and when I report scalping talk, I never see the issue addressed. I think that says a lot about the moderators as well. That said, I'm sure an increase in scalping outrage would cause a policy change, but given the current climate, I don't think there's nearly enough support from the community

Yeah. I guess it's up to the members to try and continue to fight against it. I still do, by reporting it when I see it, and that's all I can do. When I was a mod, I fought against scalping pretty hard. I watched those classified ads like a hawk. Unfortunately, I also fought against things like the post count and the "Durges" of the site....and that made me not as popular. I just wanted to clean that place up. Still do actually......and every once in awhile, I miss those padlocks. ;D
I'm a little sick of the post counts as well. Some members who have only been there for 6 months now have Moff status (not like it matters) because they post pad so much...a certain post padding "Commander_____" comes to mind (he tried to secretly get me banned for no reason while being nice to my face before so screw him).
Post counts only prove that certain people have more free time than other people... coughcoughDarth_Raynecoughcough ;)
Sorry buddy, I had to take the shot.

Mattkatandicanthitthepostbuttonfastenough is a prime example. I've seen where he tried to use his post count as a reason why his incorrect answer to a question should be accepted as fact. When proved wrong he dismissed it and argued that he was a "respected" member and then proceeded on to the second method of trying to become relevant; name dropping.

JoshEEE, I would be all over that, but some douchbag would save my picture and photoshop it like some 13 year old obsessed fan and post it all over an anti-rebelscum forum so they could all touch themselves while they view it as well. Oh wait a sec... that's right, Kneel_Before_Zod already did that
Hey it's not that I'm offended by it or anything. I'm not embarassed by the way I look in the least or anything like that, but it's a little unnerving to know that people are that hung up on me that a 25 year-old graphic designer living in a 2-bedroom loft in Dallas has no more important things to do than that. It's also a little depressing to see how some people spend their time. Rob would fare well working for the National Enquirer. Makes me glad I'm moving back east this week.

Oh - and then they always go to JD to post their jokes about me (and Dustin, Philip, DBB, etc) because they all lack the required "hardware" to post it here and to our faces

Colman's okay once you get used to him. :D
. . .back home to Oklahoma. . .

I thought you might point that out. I was originally going to leave OK out of that sentence, but I didn't want anyone to confuse "going home" with meaning just going back to the hotel for the duration, or something like that. I know many people often refer to their hotels as "home" when they're on trips, vacations, and whatnot.
Certainly wasn't a slam against your fine state though.
Of course, it sounds like your state will be vastly improving in about a week, so you should be thankful for that, at least...
Oh, I know. I just wanted to reiterate the fact that ****head isn't actually from here, and that nobody here claims him. In fact, I'm downright embarrased that he's got OKC, OK down for his location. It reflects very poorly on the rest of us.
In other Rebelscum news today apparently Greenday made his way back over there in the form of Chucknutz. So, might want to be on the alert if it really was him?

Didn't he also get discharged from the Air Force for some reason, injury or something?
Ha. He sent me something slightly similar to that over at GH, when he stopped by there last year and I told him to get lost. It wasn't quite that nice, but he was trying to squash things a bit. But considering all of the other things he was saying at the time elsewhere, it was obviously a load of horse****.
As for his time in the AF, he said something somewhere a while back about having some strange physical ailment that prevented him from actively serving anymore, IIRC. Now he just takes their money, and sits around watching AOTC every day... ::)

You know, I have to take that back, about not finishing anything and the Air Force. I was a little pissed when I wrote it and thought better of it between work, when I posted, and home. If he was in the AF and was injured on the job it still can't take away from the fact that he served.

Yes, his "Jackhole" account has indeed been unbanned here. In fact, it was kind of a mistake that he wound up being banned in the first place, as we were rather excited to be able to chat with him over here.

A few months ago, Jimbo was just doing his thing, getting in, complaining about peoples attitudes, opinions, knowledge, etc. I can't remember the thread, but every other post was just him beratting various people. It went on for pages. Finally, some realatively new person stood up and said something to the effect of, "who the hell are you anyway?" and started to lay into him in a really intellegent way. Then, everyone else started chiming in with "yeah!..." It was awesome. Jimbo went away.
Zod - show the rest of the picture in your avatar, you know the part where you're trying to fit my pud into your mouth, but it's much too long and girthy and it's making you gag :o
Frankly, I think you guys should let it go. About 75% of the JD members are RS defectors, and we all did it for the same reason. Starting threads, beating the same old dead horse, belly-aching over Rebelscum's demise and perpetual downfall is pointless. Gossipping is for old ladies at beauty salons.
Let's just..stop.
discuss RS at RS.
discuss RS at RS.
Easier said than done.
I'm no fan of RS, and rarely post about it, but, on the flip side, am happy that there is an outlet to discuss it on the web in a relatively civilized way.
Healthy discussion is a good thing.
Well, he can't be any worse than previous SW Fan Club presidents... (http://www.rebelscum.com/dlr06.asp)
I'm not offended by him, I'm just amazed as how absurd he is.
At FFURG many people got messages like this for trying to get him under control. It just shows how immature he is, and how few brain cells he has to come up with F***er
I wonder if everyone would be randomly kicked out of the Fan Club for nothing then?No -- they'd probably be kicked out just for mentioning another fan club........... ;)

Question: Why does anyone even raise an eyebrow at Greenday, The Subpar Troll? I'll conceed that he's annoying, but is he really more so than any of the other folks there who exhibit similar posting habits? I'd suppose that since I seldom post there, I'm not effected by any supposed problem presented by Greenday, The Subpar Troll, and hence feel a disconnect to the outrage and uproar he typically creates.
So what's the deal, why do ya'll care?
You're such a ******* dick.
You're such a ******* dick.
Dude, stop being immature and show some imagination!

I'm always amused when folks don't know what to say so they come up with a very common cussword like *******, ******, dick, ect. It does show a lack of maturity as well as a lack of an imagination. Some folks respond to negative criticism this way as well- they're just to immature to handle it ::). Yes, it is funny ;D

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v463/name7574/douchebagv3.jpg)This may be the post of the year! I rarely LOL at things, but this one, I actually did :)
Thank the maker I found someone else who thinks Willrow is a waste; I've taken quite the bashing on another forum because I referred to him as a "douche." I even got a PM threatening my family.
Check out the Willrow shill thread thread at Jedidefender if you get a chance...or as I like to call it, NAZI GERMANY.
-DD
Sorry to derail the thread Dustin, and if you delete this, I will fully understand.
Nothing against you - you have my support in every way except the $50 it costs us in Canada to subscribe. :mad:
However, Philip's post today has pissed me off.
On the main page:QuoteI gotta say, I'm underwhelmed by the subscriptions...
In the report:QuoteIt's time to get out the support.
Those with current subscriptions, you can renew now and it will tack on your subscription to the end of your current term.
Can't afford it? That's not so unusual with all the stuff we have to buy for our collections; give one away as a gift to a friend, or ask for one for your birthday. Get it early even.
Or, go wear out your friends and have them sign up.
We need to get this thing moving!
And, finally, from the Campaign page.QuoteHow can I help?
You can help spread the word by grabbing a campaign banner and throwing it up on your website. Simply right-click and choose "save as" to download them to your desktop. Then link the banner back up to the official DLR campaign headquarters (this page). No website? Use this limited-edition campaign avatar in the forum!
Okay.....
I am NOT begging for a subscription to an expensive website fanclub for my birthday. Asking a friend to give me a $50 US gift out of the blue is ridiculous. If I or my friends were that rich to just throw away $50 ata time, I'd be joining up for the hell of it.
Finally, and my biggest complaint here, is that the request is to advertise this campaign on other websites, but Philip's own rules will ban you if you advertise another website here. Is that hypocritical or what?
Sorry, Philip, I normally do not like to say negaitive things about RS or you publically, but these comments are a pure joke.
Again, I want to make it 100% clear that I am in full support of Dustin's bid for Fan Club President. I just hate the method of getting him there, and the pure hypocrisy in Philip's statements about advertising sites.

I dunno, I think this isn't as big a deal. Doesn't RS have sponsorship deals with the people that Dustin's linking to? If so, they wouldn't have any issue with that.
He wants us to link this to other sites, but when was the last time RS allowed people to link other sites on their forum?
Is anyone running against him?

So, that means that if, say, GreenDay101 were to have 10 people sign up and refer to him, he'd be the next Fan Club President?
That's the worst way to reward someone with the Official Fan Club's Presidency I've ever heard of.

That IS the dumbest thing I've ever heard of... I could shell out 350 bucks and make 7 fake accounts right now and be the frontrunner? Yikes. That's about the same amount of money I'd spend on a plane ticket to Comic Con anyway - and they'll cover it if I win.
Vote for me everyone!
If we could get one of the more prominent JD staff members to run, I think we'd have a chance to represent the coolest SW site on the net!

I actually contemplated trying to get some sponsors after I saw the prizes one would get....but I doubt I could compete with the Rebelscum machine.
However....it made for an interesting question. What if someone else did run? Could they promote their campaign on RS? I know someone "from JD" probably couldn't....but what if I did?
Everyone knows I love that site. So if I "ran" (and I'm only being hypothetical here), would I get in trouble for mentioning it at Rebelscum?

Don't be too sure Josh. You, Rob or Matt would have my support if any of you decided to run.
My favorite part is the fact that the "Join or renew here" link in his newspost is not a link to the Hyperspace sign-up page at the Official Site.
It's a link to the Hyperspace sign up via ShopStarWars. That way, he can use his ad referral code to make sure that he gets a cut of your $40 subscription fee for himself. Savvy marketing once again...
::)
I was talking with Kevin last night, we were guessing as to how much it'll cost Philip to buy this one...
I can say that the idea to run appealed me earlier this morning, not just for the prize....but for the opportunity to be the President of the Fan Club.
I think it would be fun too, but I'd do it for all the chicks I would get. :-*

Pretty well. I'm actually in the hospital right now. I wouldn't say it's been smooth sailing, but it's going anyway. Hopefully I'll be done by the end of summer. I'm completely ready for senior year.
And dude, where have you been? I've pretty much been at Scum this whole time. I only come here to see what everyone else is talking about over there (Yeah, I'm a loser).
But I'll pop in every week or so and do some lurking.

JD is getting ready to endorse a candidate as well.
I have a subscription to the Insider, and therefore, a free membership (I think.) I haven't registared yet, so I'm waiting for the JD nominee.

There could be. There's only 3 people on that list I recognize anyway :P
Isn't it discriminatory to imply that someone of European descent shouldn't be the endorsed candidate?
Or does discrimination only emanate in a single direction. You know, like gender bias. ;)
Hey, does anyone have a bookmark to one of the threads on RS complaining about the "No Links In Sigs" policy? I can't find any, so have they been deleted?
OK, thanks Vic. I have to head to work now, but when I get home I'll have to start a new bitch-thread then.

It seems a guy who has been at Rebelscum for six years was banned because he and his niece share the same IP. Granted, his niece was 9 and probably shouldn't have been on anyway, but I don't see any problem with what the guy did that is ban-worthy.

Some people do care about what is said/done at other sites - even though some people hate Scum, some of us still view us overall as one big community. I hate the fact that some people want disassociate completely with another group. That's pretty weak in my opinion... there are some major morons there but still some good people too.
I kind of wish people here would quit bashing them here, in my opinion it lowers oneself a notch or two. No I don't love Scum, this is my favorite forum site, but I don't hate everyone there either. There are idiots whereever you go, even some that are members here. It's just controlled better here by the staff.
Just my 2 cents.
:)

No wonder Mr. Kenobi showed up at GH yesterday...... ::)
Who thought up that piece of wit, a third grader?
GH has always been a place he runs to when annoyed by what he called "noobs" at Rebelscum (comical from someone so new himself, and who annoyed practically anyone with more time than he had accumulated), or when apparantly Scum tired of him enough themselves and spanked him. That's just great though...
This is tough. I love them all the same as a Saga.
But if I HAD to pick favorites, it would go like this:
AOTC - This movie is still my favorite due to Obi's detective work I really love the development of this side of his character. Also the Tatooine scenes, Geonosis scenes. and Obi-Ani scenes on Coruscant were great.
TPM - Obi vs Maul nuff said. Although I really liked the Trade Federaton army and the mysterious Sith. People hate on TPM, but I love it still.
ROTS - Best soundtrack, most dramatic, most duels, I love it.
ROTJ - Luke as a Jedi was awesome, not as a whiny punk as in ANH and ESB. Battle of Endor (all 3 parts) was fantastic.
ESB - OVERRATED
ANH - Seems rather boring when compared to the other 5 due to lack of a decent lightsaber duel.
But don't let this confuse you. I'm 22 years old and have been watching the OT since I was 8, and the PT started when I was like 15. I too grew up on the OT, but I favor the PT as being far more entertaining if I was just going to pull a SW DVD off the shelf to watch for fun.
So, just for the record, in MisterKenblowme's world, Phantom Menace is the second-best Star Wars film ever made, and Empire is the second-worst.
(Now, do I go with the "cuckoo" smiley, or the "blow my head off" smiley?)
Is there a "dip****" smiley?
I mean, come on, the guy made an art out of being a forum peckerhead. Goes to show all the more they pay attention to what's festering over there.
But, for obvious reasons, you want to maintain a positive relationship with Hasbro, and allowing a thread like that to continue in your forums is not the way to do that.

Dear Hasbro,
[censored] you.
C'mon! The pegs are clogged with the SAME [censored] FIGURES that clogged the pegs a YEAR ago! What is wrong with you people? Do you HATE your customers? Even KIDS won't buy this [censored]! The ROTS line was great, but it's time to let go. 68 figures and like 15 exclusives weren't enough? Or are you just THAT proud of your action-feature-riddled sculpts that you want to PLAGUE us with them again. I won't have it.
The pegs are so full of this [censored] that my Walmart has them LITERALLY falling off the pegs if you touch them. There is at least a case and a half of H&V on the top shelf above the figures, and about 6-8 random figures scattered around the lower shelf underneath the cluster [censored] of crammed pegs. There is no room for new waves which means you are losing money because people don't want ROTS rehashes, they want MOS EISLEY. You need to fire whoever the nimrod is who decided to fill the pegs with old CRAP as opposed to making sure new product gets on the shelf. Never before have I seen such ignorance in the marketing of a product. Seriously, do you people hire your project managers from the special ed class? Sheesh, you guys are morons!
You have lost at least one very loyal carded completist. Hasbro's sales just dropped 50% in my home.
Sincerely and with all due respect,
Matt
Matt. I'm extremely dissapointed in this post from you.
First of you obviously don't have a clue how distribution works with major retailers and the fact that Hasbro has no control over what is on the pegs. All hasbro does is sell the product to big box retailers like Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart etc etc etc.
Secondly, the abrasive, non constructive, foul language laced, accusational message you've plopped into our forums does nothing positive what so ever but fill my PM box with complaints. Yes you are entitled to an opinion. HOWEVER, please take a little bit more time in the future about how you word things, and how you are trying to convey your message. We serve a multitude of various age groups for Star Wars fans from all walks of life here and you need to be more considerate of them as well.
Third, If I worked at hasbro do you think I would even continue reading a thread that starts . . .
"Dear Hasbro,
[censored] you."
Not going to happen.
I'm locking this thread and handing you a small vacation from the boards, please take this time off to think about your actions and what steps you will take so this doesn't happen again in the future.
I'd read some of that thread and I even reported it to the mods as something that didn't need to be on the boards but it went on for a few more days after I reported it.
I see that it's gone now. I didn't see how it got wrapped up so if anyone saved it I'd love to read the outcome.

Let me get this straight. You reported the thread to RS mods because you felt it was something that didn't need to be on the boards. You reported it with the expectation that it would be moderated. Knowing RS, a logical conclusion would be that it would get spanked, locked or deleted. Deleted being a more and more common result recently.
The mods moderate, and eventually take the thread down.
After getting what you asked for, you now want to read the thread you found objectionable.
Maybe you should be asking the RS mods to put it back. Tell them you were just kidding or something. Tell them that your disposition that originally caused you to report the post can handle Mr. Kenobi's foul mouth and idiocy after all. At least now that it's interesting.

A guy complained that my reviews are too long and they didn't have an end in his view...

The Official...
This thread should be dedicated to why we hate Kneel_before_zod.. Hmm lets see. He is arrogant.. Rude... Entirely to liberal... Speaks his mind on a continous bases... Most of all. He actually believes that global warming is that serious.. It seems to me that he is exploiting our fear.. Michael Moore probably spoonfeeds all is rebuttals.. Comments?
I don't know what you're talking about. Zod's awesome. He is one of the oldest members here, and he has the super high post count that gives him the Emperor rank, which of course makes him cool.
I for one don't appreciate you coming in here and trash talking Rob. He is one of the smartest and funniest posters around. Why would ANYONE have a problem with this guy? Rob is very respectful and almost never acts like an utter [censored] hole. He is clearly a credit to the SW community!
Weird.
Well I'm not going to complain that they locked down a thread that was designed to talk about how much some unnamed troll (and MisterKenobi) hated me... but here were the two pertinent posts:

Wow. Apparently the thread got deleted in the 20 minutes between you posted and I clicked the link.
Another example why some mods are really retarded.

I hate Rob.
rob ,
So sorry to hear that you have your own hate thread.. Personally, I find you very amusing..
"My little plastic space men site is better than your little plastic space man site and your site sucks!!!"
Well my little plastic space men site is obviously better than anyone else's since I have little tanks for my men to fight with!!
:)
Wow, I get my own hate thread:

What an honor.
I hate Rob because he doesn't know how to tag a url properly so that it doesn't **** up the formatting of the page for everybody else.
*******.

Playing both sides, Nirvana? I seem to remember you, of all people, trashing JD last night over in the RS forums...

Nobody's little plastic space men site sucks like my little plastic space men site.
Cocoa puffs?
When did I trash JD, AE?
I wasn't trashing JD, I love this site. It's pretty much my home base. I simply said that I don't especially care for some users here, but that's gonna be like that everywhere you go.
Cocoa puffs?
I was thinking more along the lines of Cream of Wheat. ;D
They seem to have a good beed on MisterKenobi at least.
*shrugs*
Anything is possible Rob, honestly. That's as believable a situation as anything...
They have all the info, they'll know what to do when one of them becomes aware of what's going on and they'll ban those kids for the short period of time they can.
It doesn't matter. The worthless little ******* will just sign up again under a new screen name. Man, how I love the summer time on message boards.

There is nothing MisterK could do to get back into people's good graces shy of spend the next year acting like the opposite of an *******.
I'm confident that he doesn't have the capacity.
Gay people rule though. They're awesome and fun people.
Thank you for sharing that, mrmforceX. I applaud your bravery.

Yeah,when I joined there was this kid who spammed like hell.That little brat was freakin' annoying.
As far as who he's talking about in that thread though, I don't really know unless I guess he meant Dr. Zoltar? Rob makes his opinion of KitKatGoddam pretty blatantly clear over there over there, and visa versa. Rob is a good forum member there though and always has been... He just sees the guy for who he is. I don't know what Zoltar did to become the target at that point but he's right ultimately... Calling people gay as an insult probably doesn't sit well with people who actually are gay... It happens, but that doesn't make it right, and I think that's the point Zoltar is making there.
For him to come back on Zoltar with basically, "You annoy me because you criticize how I insult people/groups" or whatnot is asinine in and of itself. It's one of those moments it is best to keep your mouth shut because there's no positive spin to put to that issue. Of course, that ain't gonna happen though, now is it? :)
Heh. So you saw THAT thread too, huh?
Some of those people blame everything on JD staff members - which is nonsense.
We wouldn't - but almost all of JD's staff was banned a few months ago.
Heh. So you saw THAT thread too, huh? Yep, he said "gay" and later claimed he meant "ghey". There was a small discussion on the proper use of the word (including definitions posted from dictionary.com and that other site that listed numerous definitions for "ghey") and then the discussion was dropped.
I'm getting pretty damn sick of RS...
There was a new user at RS who had the SN of "Helokitty" or something like that.
We wouldn't - but almost all of JD's staff was banned a few months ago.
Why was it that they let you keep your account over there? Just curious .....
Yeah, I read those threads. It made me mad.
The same thing happens every time:
1. A new user comes along
2. He starts a thread (every noob does it, whether they are a spammer or not)
3. People just claim he's either GreenDay or that he is only trying to spam the forums because he made a few spelling mistakes here and there.
4. This makes the user get mad.
5. Then he goes off and starts spamming.
If they would just welcome every new user equally (which means cutting them some slack), this stuff wouldn't happen.

They banned me at first. Then some people made a fuss, and I was re-instated. Dustin said I just got swept up in the tide, but that I'd been a member for too long without incident to get banned as well.
This is a little off-topic -- but it was an interesting little tid-bit I wanted to share. A while back I seem to remember our good friend talking about how he was moving from the armpit of America, aka Oklahoma to the big, exciting, glamorous city of DC and we that should all be jealous of him. I grew up in that area and it seems that he has moved to what is known as THE hairy, smelly armpit of the MD/DC suburbs. I doesn't get much cheesier than Waldorf, MD. It's hardly the big city that he was bragging about. In fact, its quite the joke in that area. It just gives me a little chuckle everytime I see Waldorf, MD under his name........
Southern Maryland and the DC area is the most annoying and irritating part of the country I have ever lived in... Overpopulation, high crime rates, overpopulation, the worst traffic I've ever seen 24/7, overpopulation, too many ghettos, overpopulation, and of course, tourists.
Both Matt and his wife are/were in the military. I'm fairly certain a military transfer was the reason for the move.
Here's a thought. Why not just ask the guy?

I just can't believe our software doesn't require us to make a 'part 2' thread when we get to 500 posts on a topic.
What, are you new? ;D
War and Politcal threads have been banned there for years, Just like they are here, and on most Star Wars boards.
Not really...
It wasn't a politcs thread, it was a current events thread.

Most everyone they've ever hired to mod there though has been so irresponsible with their "power" that it's no wonder they don't hire new.
One thing that sorta gets under my skin about the scum is that people like b0bafett77 are still members, while people like Sev get suspended.

Does anyone here know how to get ahold of moderators from RS? We have a big problem over there today.
i love the crap RS has to go through all the time. now i hear that some n00b is posting nasty, and possibly shock images on wuhers? add this to the time someone posted a thread in wuhers that simply read "[censored] everybody here" as well as the one, the only,

Not sure, he never told me, but he asked me to help him out with a trade while he was suspended.
Are you talking about SEV from San Antonio? I saw him online yesterday, on the RS boards. He is in our local collector's club. We had to set up a separate site b/c the RS Area Reports were being monitored by the local scalpers. The San Antonio thread is all but dead now. (That is one of my biggest problems with thr RS boards.)

Set up a code system for each store like we did in the Rochester thread. Then, you only give the code list out to people you trust and want to have it. It's worked rather well for us.
What Matt said, plus we monitor the area closely and if there's a feared lurker you can alert us and we'll look into it... We take the trades/classifieds area of our site seriously though, and think it needs special monitoring, so by all means take advantage of our work.
Are you serous? I didn't think you had an aera report on this site anymore
Are you serous? I didn't think you had an aera report on this site anymore I'll have to go looking for it now that I'm logged in and out of lurker mode
You know what ticks me off? Today I saw a user who has more posts than me. He reg'd on the end of last month. He's been there for less than a month, yet has 700 posts...I'll bet his posts are high quality... ::)

No, I really didn't, but that doesn't really matter. If someone posts 700 + times in under a month, do you really think they would?
I'm not fuming about it, it's just kinda funny.
I got banned and reinstated as well for the same reasons... It was explained to me that one of their mod(d)'s was going around searching the boards for anyone with any hint that they were involved with JediDefender in some way... Subsequently people who didn't even work here got banned simply for liking it here, namely CHEWIE.Now that you say that, that's probally why I got banned becuase non of the other local scalper flamers got banned. Jackasses. >:(
From what I gathered, after Dustin and this mod(d) fubar'd everything, other staff intervened and reinstated a number of banned people with somewhat of an apology... However the people who knee-jerked during the situation never took the time to do the apology themselves which I thought was classless at the time. I've not been overly active there since then.

I'm going through the ridiculous trading offer process over there. I've gotten about 20 PM's asking if I'd be willing to trade a loose Tie Fighter pilot for a carded Covert Ops trooper. Two or three people have had the audacity to PM back saying I was being unreasonable. ???
...you figure it out it makes zero sense.
What an honor for Sideshow!

Is it like the one mentioned by efranks at the top of this page?!
I don't know if the video is on RS or not but if you listen carefully in the background you should hear me chant "Scum sucks!" over and over again.
These people are great at building bust ups because they work for RS?! How's that?
How pathetic....way to get your 2 cents in Paul....what a bunch of idiots.
I'm sure if he was one of these "really cool" spiteful board-loyalists, he surely would have said "Oh Noze! you're from RS? You must SuX0r at this because RS is dumb. WOoot!".
Alas, he was only a regular Star Wars fan and had no idea it's considered trendy by some to hate Rebelscum.
Yeah, the guys at the convention participating in a bust-up contest and their referee were the idiots, not the genius standing around chanting insults. He was brilliant.
I can't imagine how stupid you guys would think it was if someone filmed two JD staffers participating in a contest and Mattkatdamn, Lady Jaye or one of the other handful of people who doesn't like JD was in the background doing the same thing.
I'd give you kudos.......if I was 10 years old and was acutally amused by something so stupid.
I feel like I'm being attacked by one of those spiteful board loyalists now..not sure about the really cool part though
trendy..by some??! I thought a trend was by many..... by some was an indifference?
I agree ...he was brilliant
. No, I will say that I feel it says alot that only " a handful of people" don't like JD.
I think in such a place with such an audience there could be alot of folks amused (hint: they're older than 10 and they're likely not claiming to be above being amused like a ten year old either)
I'm hardly a "loyalist" to any Star Wars board
Really? I think the whole "Site war" thing is only being kept alive by a couple of people over there (ones that get frequently picked on here) and the rest of it is all banned members who now reside here being upset. I understand their anger, I just don't get why it's spreading.???
HA!
Kevin
The rest of the bandwagon jumpers who hate the place seemingly because they think it's a cool thing to do are just being sheep, and that's really lame.
I resent that! I'm not a sheep, I'm a Llama!
QuoteI can't imagine how stupid you guys would think it was if someone filmed two JD staffers participating in a contest and Mattkatdamn, Lady Jaye or one of the other handful of people who doesn't like JD was in the background doing the same thing.
Lady Jaye doesn't like JD?
Lady Jaye doesn't like JD?
QuoteLady Jaye doesn't like JD?
I've never seen her post positively about it. Whenever I say something she doesn't like it's always "Go back to JD" or something. Then again, maybe that's just her.
You mean "Go back to JD!!"
Right??
There's a difference between enjoying something a bunch of people you hang out with hate and being a loyalist. You're not going to find me defending things about RS that I think are stupid.
Here's your chance to stuff the RS ballot box for Willrow Hood. They just launched a front page Probe Droid poll asking which April Fool's Day gag figure would you like to see made. Myself, I voted for crispy Owen/Beru, but I have two more votes using my other PCs.
Josh,
Did you read the stuff you wrote in the FC President thread? Oh wait, the quote above says you won't defend something a site YOU think is stupid...but you will if just about everyone here does
How I've missed you, Josh.
QuoteHow I've missed you, Josh.
Yeah, I know. I neglected to take the blue pill and learn to hate that place like everyone else, so that makes me the a-hole.
Sorry, I'll shut up now.
I still want to know what happened just as much as any of you guys do...
Where's that interview or inside info you guys were hinting at?...
If you stand back and read your comments here, you would have to admit you are sort of trolling for a reaction here. You know there are a big contigent of fans who loath RS here so coming in here whipping the bee's nest is just not a cool thing to do. You have made your feelings felt, so why keep coming in and whipping people into a lather and then disappearing back to RS only to return and repeat?QuoteHow I've missed you, Josh.

I'm having lunch with Tommy (uscwannabe) tomorrow. Does that count?
Just a casual (and presumably private) lunch though, and not an interview - unless Tommy would like it to become one... I think it's safe to share this much though: The Fan Club asked him for his address a few days ago so they could send him his free shirt for getting at least three subscriptions

I wondered - his comments on the 12" boards are a little condescending.
So any humor they found in something, they're also sure you won't see it through the same glasses.

QuoteSo any humor they found in something, they're also sure you won't see it through the same glasses.

Yeah, you summed it up pretty well. Like I said a few nights ago, I've got the point. I'm done defending RS in here. I get that my opinion is both in the minority and not really welcome. While I'm not going to jump on the hate bandwagon, I will refrain from trying to talk anyone into jumping off of it, since it's such an unpopular cause.
I do have one big issue with what you said. You're assuming I'm being objective in my assessment of what's funny. Your exact terms were "I'm looking at it through different glasses". That's not the case.
I don't think chanting in the background of someone's video is stupid because I like Rebelscum. I think chanting in the background of someone's video is stupid because that's what hicks do whenever there's a news camera around. I don't think this little "prank" was any funnier than some dude getting behind the newscaster and saying "Woo, hi mom! Channel 5 sucks!" while she's trying to report the news. With very few exceptions, that old gag just makes me feel sorry for the newscaster, and pity the idiot that thought it was cool to do that.
I also think that the kiddies who have gone over there in the past and created a post-padding ****storm with some fake accounts only to show up here an hour later and brag about it are stupid too. It hasn't happened in awhile (thank God) but that was never funny to me when they went over there and destroyed Wuher's for a night, then came back here expecting a pat on the head for it. The staff here handled it properly I thought.
Yes, I know humor is subjective, and maybe there's just a certain kind of humor I am just not amused by. It doesn't matter where they originate from to me. When MattKatkadamn is over there telling Rob he's "not a man" and trying to bait him into getting banned or whatever, I just shake my head that he's sinking to that level. I prefer my insults a little more cleverly crafted than just "you suck" or whatever.
Now, when I see one of Rob's awesome photoshop jobs, I laugh.
The entire "Jeff for fan club president" thing was hilarious. That was so well thought out and put together that some people took it seriously for awhile. Great stuff. I also thought it was cool that RS allowed people to pimp Jeff in Wuher's. That was classic.
Matt taking a picture at C3 with Phil was another incident I thought was really funny, simply because I don't think Mr. Wise had any idea who he was, even after Matt introduced himself to him. It was was kind of funny to me that (at the time) Matt was a huge pain in his ass online but he still didn't register in real life. Just proof that people can be really different people online.
And yes...I loved the Greg(g) and Bertha unveilings perpetrated by some of the fine detectives on this website. Those were some of the classic moments in all of RS or JD history to me and it's still funny today that years later, they still both deny it.
My comments about the chanting in the video were just in general disbelief that someone actually thought that was funny. I can understand why a lot of people here don't like RS, I even agree that those of you who were banned for ******** reasons have more than enough reason to HATE the place.
All I'm saying is....there's a way to express that and then there's also a stupid way to display it. Asking "election" questions of Dustin at Comic Con would have been an awesome way to get across what everyone was feeling in a funny way. I thought that might have happened. Chanting in the background of Mark's video is just kind of a childish way of "sticking to RS" without really accomplishing that.
This is all just my opinion and really doesn't have a lot to do with which website I like, it's just about what I personally find funny. Fair enough?

And yes...I loved the Greg(g) and Bertha unveilings perpetrated by some of the fine detectives on this website. Those were some of the classic moments in all of RS or JD history to me and it's still funny today that years later, they still both deny it.
My comments about the chanting in the video were just in general disbelief that someone actually thought that was funny. I can understand why a lot of people here don't like RS, I even agree that those of you who were banned for ******** reasons have more than enough reason to HATE the place.
All I'm saying is....there's a way to express that and then there's also a stupid way to display it. Asking "election" questions of Dustin at Comic Con would have been an awesome way to get across what everyone was feeling in a funny way. I thought that might have happened. Chanting in the background of Mark's video is just kind of a childish way of "sticking to RS" without really accomplishing that.
This is all just my opinion and really doesn't have a lot to do with which website I like, it's just about what I personally find funny. Fair enough?
Everyone can tell your an RS cheerlreader, which is fine.
Fine, indeed.

I still want to know what happened just as much as any of you guys do...
Where's that interview or inside info you guys were hinting at?...
I'm having lunch with Tommy (uscwannabe) tomorrow. Does that count? :P

I don't think Josh is gonna quit here just because people don't like something he says. Not like this has exactly been an ugly discussion either by any stretch... I've seen Josh in worse things than what we've talked about here and it didn't phase his posting habits.
Well I'd be hard to keep from standing there with my JediDefender.com staffer shirt on holding it up and dancing around like a numbnuts in the background

Wow.
Did that Smartypants1635 guy really just get suspended for defending himself after that "Cluepon", or was that a joke?

Err ah I'm a little slow there.. I didn't understand the second comment you made...are saying there was another post in here that was deleted?

This (http://www.freewebby.com/sign-smilies/flamewar.gif) is getting a bit out of hand, what's up with attacking a fellow JDer even if he still likes RS, and defends it.
If we do that, we are no better than the spamming trolls at the site that we have been arguing so much about, because guess what they do. Many a time people who like JD and defend it over there, are screwed over as well. I'm not trying to be preachy, I just find it quite odd, that you would flame your fellow man.
I didn't view that as a flame, hopefully Josh didn't, either.
His way of looking at things comes off to me as a, "I don't care if anyone treats my friends like **** - so long as they don't treat me like ****" sort of way.
but I can't do much about the fact that doesn't see things as what I think they are.
You know Chris, you're a genius! Why don't we just have adults post here!
We need a Photoshop of her holding Greggers' sculpture, stat.

I can think of another certain teenager who pulled off posting like an adult around here "for many years". ;) Although, if I were going to be frank I would say that same advanced maturity he exhibited so well and articulately all over this site seems to be lacking from several posts in this very thread.
You know Chris, you're a genius! Why don't we just have adults post here! And everyone under 18 can close their accounts! :P
Adam (Smartypants) felt insulted, because you just posted the image. If you would've included that you thought it was funny, maybe he wouldn't have reacted the way he did. He must've reacted the way he did, because he felt offended, and you insulted him, when he was just trying to defend someone. I know he shouldn't have said "STFU", but still that doesn't seem like a good reason to suspend someone. But it's your site, you can do whatever you want with it.
Plus, reacting to a sick burn by saying "STFU" is sort of Jr. High School.
Just for the record, one should never tell a fellow member (let alone a staff member) to STFU no matter how pissed you are.

QuoteJust for the record, one should never tell a fellow member (let alone a staff member) to STFU no matter how pissed you are.
I don't know. Chris gave the guy the "Cluepon", which basically said "no one gives a **** what you think and you have your head up your ass".
I thought his response was in kind with the insult, so I was surprised when he was suspended for simply replying in the same manner in which he was insulted.
Even so, it doesn't suprise me that Chris suspended someone that pissed him off. Is it a little bit of an abuse of power to insult someone and then ban them when they respond to your insult?
Maybe, but it's his site, so it's his right.
It's clear though that people should be a bit more surprised when I suspend someone who pisses me off, because if I did it each time it happened, well- you'd be long gone.
If you read my explanation it shows that my intention was not towards him directly, but to a way of thinking.
I guess it's like me telling somebody (my son?) that he is doing something 'really stupid' (way of thinking about running out in the street from between 2 parked cars) it sounds to him like I'm calling him stupid(even though my intent was not toward him directly but his line of thought). Well, I've been told by many 'EXPERTS' in counseling ect that you just can't say to somebody that they're acting like an idiot or doing something stupid because then, essentially I am calling them stupid or idiot. Maybe they're right as it never generates the right response. One Example? Seen in this thread performed by SmartyPants.
LOL- I'm sure it helps little if you pick a name like SmartyPants then mouth off like that whether defensive or not.

According to Super Size Me, milk is still around, but they're trying now to outlaw Soda in school, which wasn't around when I was a kid. Sweetest drink we could buy on school grounds was chocolate milk.

Maybe it'd be easier to Photoshop her into Greggers' pic, instead.
In high school we had a desert bar where you could buy ice cream sandwitches or those little plastic containers of ice cream with the paper top and wooden spoon. Same place you could get those milkshakes I mentioned. That was the extent of desert unless you counted the whip cream on the jello. :P
E...
What the hell is that thing anyway?
em i the only not able to talk on message boards or have they banned or blocked each account i've opened? any news on this sorta thing?
I think I have a good idea of why you might have had your multiple accounts banned/blocked at RS.
Speaking of Rebel Scum, can anyone provide me with a real photo of GNT (not the guy in the Optimis Prime costume og the Geek with the wierd object).
Also has anyone found a true photo og Lady Jaye, I remember seeing one here on JD a year or two ago, but not sure if it was real.
- the real prize was being able to hear their absolutely retarded denial stories.
Oh yes "this is not me, this is my cousin Greg". I truelly remember that one. :D ;D
But actually i did not think, that it relaly was him on the photo. Better find it again and the one of Lady Jaye too.
Yep, real photo.
She's obviously too old to be that girl who looks like a latino Lady Jaye, who has the same name as her, and went to the same school as her - afterall Bertha saw ESB in theatres.
Why do you guys gotta be such ********??!?!?!?!!??!!?!?
Whose **** did he suck to become a mod after being a member for 9 months?

Wow you guys are still talking about the scum??? Man I thought this whole thing was over. I haven't visited this site in a while, and yet this thread continues! Does the scum fancy you all so much, that you need to discuss it. I would invite you guys to visit and join in the conversation, but you know. LOL!!
Oh and if you want to believe that pic is me, fine. But let's use some logic here, if that pic is from Class of 2002 photo album, then that means even if I graduated high school say at the age 0f 20 in 1992 I would have been 10, and in 1982 I would have been 0!! Now what does this mean?? Think about it with an inquisitive mind, and you'll come to a right and proper conclusion! But of course you won't, it'll be the same spiteful rhetoric given against scummers. Oh well....continue on with the grand facination that you seem to have with the scum! ::)
Oh, God, balls, hell.
Yes after 4 plus months of not being here, ya got me pegged boyo!! But hey, there's always love for ya okies! :-*

Man... she needs to go in the Hotties thread!
It's like heaven and hell all wrapped up into one ridiculously long thread.
But I would give Lady Jaye potential credit for one thing. The last thing I would do if I were her would be to actually provide a pic to you photoshop savvy guys for future abuse! I have a mental image of a camel with poo-matted fur with a tweaked head attached....
has never been photoshopped as far as I know.....
Just for fun, I merged every "Rebelscum bitching" thread we've ever had at JD into this one. Now you can enjoy 220+ pages of various kinds of Rebelscum bitching and bashing over the last 3+ years all in one place!
Spam e-mail! Bannings! Stupid Mods! Offensive Usernames! Trolls! Log-in problems! Site down times! Photoshopped GNT! This thread has got it all...
You just had to say that....
,,,provided a better explination for why the they the picture is of her.
And what is that explanation, I haven't read it.
Anyhow the real reason for my stopping by, I don't know if anyone here knew him or not, but one of our own past away last week, Nute Gunray (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB9&Number=2192650&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1) No parent should ever have to feel the loss of a son or daughter. And no one should die so young, so full of hope for the future.
You know, you are all missing a point here: This isn't "America" this is a forum...a forum about Star Wars toys. And it's one you don't own, pay for, or make the rules for (same applies for me) so if you don't like it, no one is forcing you to stay.
So, unless you are asking us to close your account for you because you don't want to post here any more and don't want to continue to be a part of the Rebelscum community, you should just sit back and enjoy the forum.
There is no "dictatorship" here. Matter of fact that is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. You'll be much happier when you come to realize this is a Star Wars collector's forum, not a country under the fist of a tyrannical leader. You choose to be here, and if you post comments like that maybe you need to ask yourself why you continue to post here.
There is no reason for us to keep a thread like this continuing.
There is no way complaining about the rules that you agreed to when you signed up to this forum will have them changed or disregarded.
you're right. This one will be locked too.
Darth_Nirvana : First off, the thread was locked, not deleted. Same thing with the Medicom thread in the 12" forum. locked, not deleted. You see, someone started spamming that forum right after the thread was locked, and in doing so, pushed it back to another page.
As stated before, no one is forcing you to be a part of this forum community, you do it of your own free will, so you know what that means. As stated before, this discussion is counter productive, and has no place, so we'll not continue discussing it.
Nice seeing your collection on the front page Rob.
Yeah, they got rid of it. Somebody felt the need to post a pornographic photoshop of Myatt.
The reason I went back over there is due to the fact the GG section has more traffic. But now that's marred by everyone's drama with one kid. ::)

Looks like it's time for another thread purge or something over there. The past three days I've had trouble loading up the forum, with it failing half the time. And last night I started getting that wonderful page full of database error messages. :P
With that recurring theme, I think if it were me, I would have just posted a picture by now just to shut everyone up about it.
On a slightly different note, Kudos to the mods here over that spammer that hit JD the other day. I noticed the rather odd pm's from someone I didn't know and that he was banned before I even had a chance to report it.
Forums have been a craptastic disaster since last night. Can't even get logged on.
However, to do so today without making proper mention of the current plight some of our newer members seem to be having would be both hypocritical and unbecoming, so.
:P
(Bei Got, I need some sleep.)

Rather than form and host an entirely new forum at their new site of course.
I actually enjoyed the back and forth, but was glad to see it at least one of the threads finally locked up this morning. Other one still goes on strong. I think they need more than one or two semi-active moderators over there.
I was wondering if ToyTraderz.com had anything to do with them starting it up. Or to compete with Adam Pawlus over at 16bit.com maybe?
Dave announces the CTR forum and everyone's like "Wow, what a great idea!" Knobs. :)

Hell Jesse, you remember, I came by and told you who was just looking for you guys and giving you up over at the scum. I mean it's one thing to have Wise and his admin henchmen look for you, but it's another for a lil mod to purposely search out jd staff!! I didn't agree with it then, don't agree with it now. I have my faults, but excessive punctuation is nothing to some of the things others have done!
Oh and I forgot, I am not the one that was singled out for all caps!! My shtick is punctuation, not all caps! :P I don't know who that was!!

Does anyone want to fill me in on what Lady Jaye is talking about? RS mods narcing out JD staff for something? When the hell did this happen?
Actually no one but Jesse James should know about this, since when I told him, I was still a mod over there!! In a nutshell, a certain mod was actively looking out for jd staff members and sending e-mails to Wise and the admins, telling them who to ban. One actually said, oop you missed one.
I never agreed with the action that took place, the mass banning of JD staff members over there! It was a very petty thing to do. So I sent Jesse a pm telling him about it! I told him not to say anything since at the time I was still a mod, just giving him a heads up as to who it was that was targeting all the JD staff members.
We have recently had an increase in Profanity and the Circumventing of Rebelscum's language filter in many posts in many threads.
Please read the following from Rebelscums General Forum Rules.
Profanity: We ask that you respect the fact that this is an all-ages board, and use no words stronger than what may be found in the movies themselves. The board comes equipped with a broad-based profanity filter. The traditional “dirty words” will be automatically filtered (their letters will appear as asterisks in your post) even when the context does not absolutely demand it. Likewise, no profane, suggestive or obscene images are allowed.
Even though we would rather members find a more articulate way to express themselves, members may use partially censored words. Like those found in many reputable magazines, replacing bad language with 'f---', 's---', et al will be allowed. The only way it is allowed though, is by typing the first letter of the word followed by the appropriate number of dashes, though counting is up to the member.
The use of other letters or symbols to circumvent the language filter ($, @, !...) is strongly prohibited and will be not be tolerated. First offenses can give the poster an automatic one-week suspension of their posting privileges. Subsequent offenses will be dealt with more severely, and can include permanent banning.
Just a few examples so everyone is clear, if you wish you may spell a censored word out like so:
F---
S---
but you are not allowed to spell it like so:
F--k
Sh-t
and of course misspelling a word (using other letters or symbols to circumvent the language filter) is strongly prohibited as stated above.
Please consider this as a general warning for all. Breaking this rule will result in an automatic one-week suspension of your posting privileges. Thank you.
Amir K.
Hate to burst your bubble, but several of us knew the details of the JD witch-hunt while it was pretty much on-going.
You were a mod, then you weren't, then you were again and now you're not (again). What happened? I'm mostly asking about the recent time, but if you don't want to limit your comments I'm interested.
Of course you telling us that my name isn't even in the user list is puzzling. I asked another former mod if he ever came across that, cause I surely didn't! In fact I still can find some of Matt's old aliases??? So he either deleted my account, or it's a new feature??
But do you really want to see a forum that is just out of hand? Check out The Official Site's (http://www.starwars.com/) message board dedicated to Collecting (http://forums.starwars.com/forum.jspa?forumID=23). Talk about a train wreck! It's very user unfriendly and that's coming from Lucasfilm themselves, along with their volunteer mods. So when it comes to forums, bigger is not necessarily better. A smaller, niche community where most of the people know one another and RESPECT one another is much more attractive.

Neither have I. Come to think of it, neither has Dressel, Norga Rotem, etc. I smell vast right wing conspiracy here >:(
Truth is, while many of the most interesting characters on that site have outgrown it and left, either for this place...or for GH....I'm not sure that really affected the site. It affected the community when good people left it, but the site still has the same strengths and weaknesses it's always had. The only difference is the people that made it what it was so many years ago have now been replaced by kids who never got to experience those times. Unfortunatley for them, they don't realize it used to be a haven from scalpers and a community where people actually cared about each other's opinions (rather than just glossing over dozens of pages to post their own 2 cents).
It's incredibly fast moving now, but I'm not sure how much of that traffic is actual decent conversation. A lot of it is "Me too" kind of stuff. For example...every time a Sideshow toy goes on sale at RS, we have 40 page threads of people saying "Got mine, that was easy". No one's actually talking to each other in those threads, and there are so many.
P.S. ass
I'm gonna get you for that... son.
Dude...it amazes me that you can sum up almost every reason why the site has gone to hell, and not admit that the site has gone to hell. ::)

Who said that? I thought your toy fair coverage was great. (Of course, it would've been better if you sent me ;D )
They've improved the quality of the Collector's engine, they have more photos of new stuff than ever, they have more con coverage than any other site out there....and now they're covering other toy lines too. Sure, not all those ideas are original, but what on the internet IS these days?

RS is like Wal-Mart, they have everything (more than you need) and ****** customer service. JD is the small mom and pop shop who has only what you need with quality service.
As with WM, you can't find what you need at RS because it's too damn big and overcrowded with mostly idiots, outside of the dairy (vintage) section.
The phrase "quantity over quality" comes to mind. . .
Everyone's so judgemental about the palce because what.....there are too many people there?
The trading and Classified section over there? I've never been much of a trader, or use the classifieds in any forum, but I've heard a lot of stories about people scalping or reneging on deals over there as compared to over here. Again, that's because there are so many people over there and some (not all) are there to take advantage of less knowledgeable people...again due to the quantity of people over there.
In the other sections, the sheer number of people that are around also helps to build my collection. People are always linking auctions or talking about selling their stuff and I end up buying it. These are areas that this site (and most of the others out there) simply can't match. That's not due to quality, it's just due to traffic.
You talk about the "Look what I found Section", they may have the quantity, but hell, the QUALITY is right here...you have to be a registered user to view them, keeping them virtually, scalper free. Unlike RS where anyone can troll those threads.

I usually stay out of these debates but this comment left me scratching my head:QuoteAgain, maybe it's the way it's worded, but your post makes it sound like RS is the only site that allows people to sell stuff from their own collection.
Yeah, it must be how I worded it because that wasn't even close to my point. I wasn't saying you can't do those things on other forums (of course you can), I was saying MORE people do them on RS....and when you're a buyer looking for something, MORE options are always better than less. I can't think of any exception to that rule, can you? Sure, it's always better to trade with people you know if you can....but when I'm shopping, I want a lot of options. If I place a want ad, I like that I get a ton of offers. You just don't get that on the smaller sites.QuoteAnd another thing, Josh, you seem to think that EVERYONE here has a grudge against RS. That isn't true. I don't, and I'm sure there are others here who don't. But the way you come over here and only really post when we begin discussing RS issues makes me think that YOU have a grudge against JD.
I think the majority of regular members here have been very vocal about how much they hate Rebelscum. There are very few exceptions, and I'm one of them. I don't have a "grudge" against JD, but I think every time people go on the rampage about how much the place sucks, how it's gone to hell and how it's completely lame....I think it's important to throw in the other perspective. Rebelscum has some obvious problems, almost exclusively related to the fact that they have not nearly a staff to handle their membership, but other than that it's a great resource for collectors.
I was going to post a long, drawn out entry citing every statement made with the actual unbiased facts (I can do this because unlike "some" who have posted here, I see first-hand what really goes on behind the closed doors) but I then I realized it will fall on deaf ears to those who don't understand the grand scheme of said topic or the intricacies of this business (non-profit, of course).
So go ahead and believe that RS has pictures up first, always.
Believe that sites don't steal each other's news.
Continue on believing that back-stabbing, underhanded behaviors don't occur in this hobby and that everyone is a friendly competitor.
Go forward believing that this large "traffic" is a blessing (without having market research on the demographics of said "traffic").
I simply ask that you don't come to my site and tell me how that site is some martyr.
I'll give you that they have a lot of nice features, good pictures, nice coverage but if you knew any back story whatsoever it would make you sick. Or would it? I'm not so sure there are people that could care less and simply want the fastest, main stream thing and don't care how it is obtained, what was done for it and who runs it.
You have no idea.
Everyone's so judgemental about the palce because what.....there are too many people there?
Yes, that's the only reason, Josh.
**** me - I can't believe it's taken me this long to figure out that you're Virex.
**** me - I can't believe it's taken me this long to figure out that you're Virex.
And you are. . . ? ???
Anyway, guilty as charged.
I'm the last horse to finally cross the finish line.
Oh yeah - I'm blimpyboy. I also happen to share your name, Matt. I'm also Dressel Rebel's gay lover.
In a hobby that has become so competitive, it's inevitable that there are going to be some sites that some people despise as some personalities clash; and there's some people that like all the sites and ignore spats between sites. Personally, I like all the sites, and see some of the stuff that goes on and have heard things from staff from differnet sites about "who did this and who did that so screw them for eternity" - but I think it's way overdue that everyone consider past differnences as water under the bridge and move along, and keep the community fun. I wish that would happen.
:P
That's, to me, the A#1 problem with Scum's boards... They don't give 2 ***** who is there. They want the traffic, regardless, and only react to people who make it to the administration's radar. Everyone else, and every other member's disgust with certain people, is ignored. I could name one specific person who's been there for YEARS, who is a total prick. I'll say it proudly that the guy has no personality other than a bad one, and adds nothing but misery to other people with every post he makes. He's condescending, a total dip****, never has anything but negativity to aim at OTHER people (not even the toys, just other people). He's an ass, always has been, he wouldn't last a week here, and yet he's let slide routinely... Only because he doesn't bother the admin.

I was a little miffed a few months back when I exclusively posted the first image of the 12" Endor Trooper squad here in the JD forums and only a few minutes later the exact same image was photoshopped (with the trademark blue background) and splattered on the front page of RS.
Now I know images on the internet are free to everyone, but it would've been nice if JD or myself were credited for the image.

Ditto. Maybe if we all call him out consistently for his condescending replies, Phillip will get tired of seeing to many useless posts and ban him just to get it off his back. Passive aggressiveness, baby!
I have it on good authority that that's not GNT at all. It's some other guy named Greg.

Just like we have a picture of Lady Jaye.

My advice would be to just throw them a bone - a fake picture, name, or whatever. As long as we believe that it's you, it might as well be, no?
I would just let this go and ignore it.
Like I've told JoshEEE my concern is how my entire name got out there!!

Lady Jaye, your obsession with keeping anonimity is probably more than anything what's making people so determined to uncover your image or identity. I mean, when you and GNT worry so much and get so offended when people post a picture of someone who might be you, it makes them think you all have something to hide. My advice would be to just throw them a bone - a fake picture, name, or whatever. As long as we believe that it's you, it might as well be, no?
I know your name, but I still call you the cartoon name cause that's what you like. I've seen you picture (even though we all pretend that's not you)...but I don't repost the image or anything because I know it would piss you off. I think that's the case with most people and that's why the curiousity isn't really there anymore. Unless of course that's really not you, and then yeah....I'm still a little curious. Feel free to end the "mystery" once and for all anytime you want to. ;)
Anyways, I thought you were only suspended for a week. Has it been extended?
It is a pretty dead horse, but the fact that you admit to being on myspace in this thread (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1641798&page=5&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#1641798), further lends me to believe that the user Lady Jaye on myspace.com may in fact be you. And this isn't an issue of privacy anymore, since you publicly admitted to being on myspace in that thread...
I hope so. Rebelscum's loss is surely our gain.
. . .well that and your DS thread!
I can't remember who the detectives were here that "Unmasked" GNT... I'm surprised you guys don't want to stand up and take a bow (although I can understand why you don't, because GNT would sue you...
The funniest part back then wasn't the picture itself (he's a normal enough guy)...
...The easiest way to diffuse the whole thing would have been to just post a real picture if that wasn't him, but he chose to threaten people with lawsuits, call for bannings and invent cousins with the same name.
Yeah sure, but unfortunately I don't have wi fi at the house anymore!! I'm moving in May, so hopefully the new place will have it!! But I'll pm ya the code once I get to the house!
If anything we can set up a time to play, since there is a cafe by the house that has wifi!! Maybe we can set up a time for all JD DS owners to have a good Mario Kart race!! ;D
Oi, this continues JoshEEE, SA Longhorn, and anyone else on my friends list, is that my space on mypsace???
I don't think the folks who solved the "World's Greatest Mystery" have ever tried to be secretive about it. Heck, one of them was even chatting with you about it that night, as the events were unfolding, Josh. Remember? But really it was mostly just one person who solved that puzzle. I was just along for the ride, and to offer my moral support throughout the project.
In all seriousness...I will vouch that Lady Jaye does have a different myspace page than the one linked up there. While it's freaky there's another GI Joe loving SW fan named Lady Jaye, I've been to her real page a couple of times and that's not it. Hers always has neato backgrounds. No pictures of her though.
What about on the pages of her friends?
I have to agree with the rest of the group here.
What about on the pages of her friends?
Foiled by the internet, a digital camera, and a photo posting friend!!!!
What about on the pages of her friends?
What about them?? Any reason you feel the need to save and post a pic that I took?? Thats in the same vein as someone copying a pic of you and your family!!
Hey Dean if you got that picture of me send me a copy. I think it's on my old harddrive in the basement. Thanks.
I mean damn how many times does this one topic have to be brought up??
What about on the pages of her friends?
What about on the pages of her friends?
My memory is foggy... isn't that the same denied visage from the original Bertha incident? The one on the right? And just in case I didn't follow along, did Lady Jaye just here confirm that's her own photo?
That's what I think just happened...
If it's admittedly a photo that she took, and not a photo of her, perhaps it's a photo of a sibling.
Which allows us to do a side by side comparison...
What coincidences can we observe?
1. The hair parted down the middle is the first point of coincidence I notice.
2. With computer forensic enhancement the left subject has visible highlights in her hair similar to, but less pronounced than the subject on the right.
3. The chins are identical, as are the cheeks.
4. Both images indicate some level of eye brow plucking.
5. The subject on the right is more pale, consistent with time spent in Albany, New York.
6. The length and width of nose are approximately the same.
7. Both subjects wear their shirts unbuttoned in a similar manner.
8. The photo on the right is grainy, because it was taken in low light using a film camera and developed to PhotoCD.
More?
Oi, this continues JoshEEE, SA Longhorn, and anyone else on my friends list, is that my space on mypsace???
And the second is a picture TAKEN BY Lady Jaye, so she couldn't possibly be in it.
and I am hiding the little remote control in my right hand.
I don't know about that, my friend. Here's a picture of me from myspace page (I'm on the right). I took this picture myself. My camera was on a tripod and I am hiding the little remote control in my right hand.
Foiled by the internet, a digital camera, and a photo posting friend!!!!
Actually it was a regular camera that was developed with a CD. Which is why the pics are grainy!!
and I am hiding the little remote control in my right hand.
I'm glad you mentioned that, because I was pretty sure that you were playing with your junk under the table.
Can we start a petition to STOP Josheee from posting pictures of himself?? ;D
Although that pic is very cool! Somewhere atop the MGM Grand?
Well if JoshEEE ever wants to fly me out to Seattle, I'd more than freely take a trip out there!! Then he could finally meet the one and only Lady Jaye!! Otherwise, guess one of those pics could be I!!!
You want me to fly you to Seattle? Are you sure this isn't some Dateline NBC trick? ;D
Perhaps if we all pitch-in and get her a digital camera, we can get her to agree to post a pic!?
You want me to fly you to Seattle? Are you sure this isn't some Dateline NBC trick? ;D
Well if I was 18 and under, then I would be suspicious!! Don't worry, I'm not to catch a predator!! I'm out to catch a free trip!! ;D
As for L.J.'s pic, I know she does not have a digital camera, only a webcamera.
From OPX:
"We are proud to reveal the Official Pix Celebration IV logo images. Please note some images may change during the final approval and production process. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements on photo sets, and other exclusive items offered by OPX at CIV! Check them all out here."
Go now and check them all out! All I can say is WOW! Plus there is still more coming...
The morons sure have taken over in Wuher's. Do they really need an active thread dedicated to every single Batman movie? Buncha dummies.
I kindly asked GNT to lock them all up (better yet, delete them all), but as expected, he chose not to. I think one all-encompassing Batman thread would suffice.
I was just poking fun ;) Scum's obviously got a boatload of good pictures up now.
You know... this will be my last strenuous post for tonight. What the [censored] can we do, you know? We are just oppressed, little people who can't do [censored] about anything. We have basically given hasbro our lives. We have poured our hearts into their company. Their families and their joy come at the expense of our suffering. Yet, the world is [censored] greedy. That's just how it is. Collectors getting sucked dry is just a grain of sand in what is known as reality. The world is a [censored] up place. No one gives a [censored] about each other. What is all of this complaining going to do? You know what? I would [censored] throw chairs during a hasbro presentation if I knew that my fellow collector base would back me up and say what hasbro has been doing is absolute [censored]. I hate it. I really hate it. This hobby really isn't for me. I don't want to be a sucker anymore. I want to give up my addiction. Not because of Star Wars though, it's because of the pieces of filth known as hasbro. They have never made me feel welcome. They have never shown one inkling of care or respect for me. They haven't cried or gave a damn about how I felt. How can I continue supporting something I knew was going to take advantage of me from the beginning? I am ashamed of myself now actually. And I have decided that I am going to quit collecting after the 30th Anniversary Collection. I hate hasbro with all of my heart because they have wounded me personally so much. But hasbro isn't the only selfish and greedy company out there. This world is filled with horrible [censored]. [censored] we can't even begin to imagine. I'm hoping one day the people will finally stop allowing themselves be stepped on, be brave and unite to overthrow the scum of the world.
And there are way too many idiots just like that posting over there. Especially in the 30th Anniversary section. Nothing but a bunch of whiny, little bitches.

We saw a lot of that recently in the wrestling thread over there.
Honestly, though, that is probably the best thing I've ever read on the internet. Illbegotten, inane anti-Corporatist notions combined with truly disturbing glances into a precarious emotional state. Brilliant! This is why I love Freedom of Expression.

Its pretty good, but not nearly as good as this (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=9812.0).
So, is this guy upset because Hasbro has made a Darth Malak figure? It is clear the person is upset at Hasbro, but there is no reason to why the person is upset. They seem to think Hasbro's one and only purpose is destroy their life.
I saw that thread. I felt like JoshEEE made an ass of himself more than those two other guys though.

They had clear photos from the CIV presentation as well. I'm guessing they just handed Curto a copy of PowerPoint file. I wonder if they'd do it for other sites if you just asked?
E...
I'm sorry to those who I may be making accusations about, but if you indeed stabbed me in the back, I only have one thing to say to you: **** YOU! Why was I mislead and stabbed in the back for being yelled at? If anybody deserved to be beaten into the dirt, it was that piece of garbage den whom you all sided with. Why suck his greasy **** when he is the evil bastard who wronged me? You guys deserve each other if you believe it is okay to punish someone who did no wrong while praise the scumbag who abuses his power. I don't want to have anything to do with you if you thought it was right to do this.
Looks like someone at RS has connections - those SDCC presentation images are too clear to have not been taken directly from the original Powerpoint.
And for that effort, you are branded a scalper forever in this forum.
If your entire motivation is to make money off fellow collectors, preventing them from bying that bust for $50, then you are worthless.
Fair warning. Anybody in this forum I find practicing scalping will lose their posting rights.
I'm not messing around with this. Stop the practice if you want to be part of this community.
The war rages on, Philip has yet to weigh in....
Wonder if Philip will follow though with his statements in other threads about banning anyone caught scalping?
I remember MisterKenobi boasting that he got some Lava Reflection Vaders before they were actually available and was going to put them on ebay shortly after making that post so he could make money to buy other items coming out for ROTS. As I recall, nothing happened to him.
I've never seen so many whiny, cry baby, suck-ass pussies than on those two boards.
The regulars on the GG boards of Rebelscum should get together with the regulars on the TAC boards and compare who has the heavier menstrual flow. I've never seen so many whiny, cry baby, suck-ass pussies than on those two boards.

Is this the guy who went off on a rant about Hasbro making the Darth Malak figure? There was someone on RS who was acting like it was the end of the world that Hasbro was making Darth Malak and Darth Raven figures.
It appears that RS attracts the occasional troll (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=hasbro30th&Number=3054524&Forum=,All_Forums,&Words=&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Main=3035480&Search=true&where=&Name=2&daterange=&newerval=&newertype=&olderval=&oldertype=&bodyprev=#Post3054524). Shocking.
Maybe they just need to be seen in person to be appreciated, but I can’t fathom how a true Star Wars fan could possibly not like toys that look exactly like the source material… especially if said toys are super articulated. Of course, in the 7 years I’ve been on the Rebelscum team, I’ve grow quite accustom to the perpetual negative sentiment in our community, but since most of the negativity is said while hiding behind online handles and everyone still buys everything despite their negative statements, I guess the truth behind it all speaks volumes
On the media front we saw a lot of new faces, and the lack of familiarity did have its own intrinsic problems. You see, when it comes to visiting the bigger companies, the Internet media is often are bundled in with the fan sites and pushed through like a bunch of sweaty cows with cameras. Those of us who have been photographing beside one another for years (I’m referring to you Steve, Adam, Paul, and Mike) have built a good report and have learned to work together and through common courtesy and respectful communication. As such, all of us get good photos. This year we had a slew of would be photojournalists who were only concerned about their own photography and their lack of experience and respect for others slowed the process completely. To all these people, I really can’t stress how much they can improve their ability to work through a display by learning their equipment before an event. Practice makes perfect, and with rooms full of toys in your houses all you need is the will to take the time to learn your craft before jumping into the photo pits.

Don't mess with a master photojournalist :-X ::)
But Dave Myatt? Or should I refer to him as D. Martin Myatt? Uck. I've crossed paths with him at a few cons and Hasbro press events and he's come across like a horse's ass. Rude. Interrupting conversations. Stepping in front of you while you're taking photos. He should really take a good look in the mirror before posting nonsense like that.
For people like us, not getting the scoop out first is a giant frustration, so we were more than a little deflated at times, but at the end of the day, we still managed to get our work done and we were able to get up all the coverage you have grown to expect from Rebelscum and Cool Toy Review.
Master journalist indeed. Report/Rapport. English, shminglish, why worry about getting the words right, after all.
And when did he become D. Martin anyway?
When he became the most-important person in all of Star Wars online fandom, that's when.

Just like working for the government. They're completely humorless and the ego is absolutely massive. Point out a flaw and you're in the doghouse for life. No doghouse at 'Scum, but point out a flaw and you are dun.

This is the first I heard about it though. Strange that he gets banned for something probably trivial, yet when I report someone for repeatedly breaking 5 forum rules in a single day, including name-calling and violating private information regulations specificly outlined in the RS rules, nothing happens. Then again, the choices made by the powers that be on these forums rarely make sense to me.
Huh, I didn't realize Cable had been suspended either. Doesn't surprise me, though.
One interesting thing, did anyone else notice this post from MisterKenobi?QuoteThis is the first I heard about it though.

That from the guy that broke so many rules and never got banned... That's the real problem with the RS boards.
E...
I did say good riddance "for the most part." I have my own issues with RS but when they do finally crack down on those that take away from the community there I'm in full support.
I know that some of the JD guys got banned, at one time, for just being members here and it wasn't for anything they personally did. I know someone who got banned for something he wrote on his own web site, being critical of an RS employee, which was completely uncalled for. But I'm not going to feel sorry for anyone that gets booted, from any site, that deserves it. If you didn't, take it up with the mods over there, calling me out isn't going to help your case.
E...
Well, he and Devo73 got in a little argument, which Curto stepped in to solve, and had under control. But, Dustin came in five posts later and banned both members for a week.
From what I gathered, Banthaskull was making a concerted effort to derail, screw up, and generally mess with the boards there through sock accounts and whatnot.

First, Efranks, I call bull **** on you. You said you read the thread on Bantha Skull? Are you a member there? That's the only way you could have seen said thread. It's in a private area for members only. How do I know this? DarthDre758, creator and Admin of Bantha Skull at your service.
I wouldn't say we care about only who is in here. Anyone is welcome to join if they're going to be a good addition to the site. We welcome anyone that wants to join and be a part of things in here though...
We've basically dropped out of the Scum stuff though. Sure we had people banned randomly, and sorta similar, but not under similar circumstances if I've heard everything correctly. We tried rational dialogue with Philip Wise and got met with his irrational behavior. From what I gathered, Banthaskull was making a concerted effort to derail, screw up, and generally mess with the boards there through sock accounts and whatnot. That's not the same thing really then.
And ultimately, rational or irrational, you'll get the same response from Wise... Take it from the group that indeed tried to open a rational debate on some issues, and got met with a childish reaction in turn. Or if you don't want our opinion, ask Bill Cable what kind of backlash you get for doing something they consider out of bounds. I'm sure he can enlighten you.
Anyone who will be a good member is welcome to join though, and bail on their boards. Why try to change a forum run by people you don't like though? Just leave and get a new home for yourself. You'll be better off in the long run.
Even though BS may seem like it was started to instigate at Scum, the founders only began to de-rail threads due to the poor moderating on Scum. (especially in the Hasbro sections) This is something never seen on Jedi Defender because the Mod/Admin staff is top notch.
QuoteThe forums are a mess and I guess you can't even start threads there anymore without running it past one of the power-trippers?
Ironically enough, members cannot start threads in the two big Hasbro forums. (Legacy and Clone Wars)
That was one helluva good guess on your part. ;)
Wow -- I feel like I'm somebody now. I've been banned from BanthaSkull.com ???
Hey guys, it's the internet.
******* relax.

Ever the contrarian....at least there's some activity with respect to Gentle Giant and other higher end stuff.
You gathered that from Phillip, I can tell.
The point of Bantha Skull was NOT, in fact, to screw up Rebelscum. They took pride in the fact that...
So please, I don't blame you, but unless you know the whole story, don't spread this around. Please investigate on your own before their reputation is tarnished!
Wrong.

Welcome to BanthaSkull.com, the official secret hideout of the 365th Lockdown Brigade. We are a merry group of Star Wars fans who share a few things in common. Our most binding characteristic is that we loved to derail those asinine threads that pop up on the big boards every hour... Well, along the way we star(t)ed having more fun derailing threads than actually talking about Star Wars.
We also had a hard time keeping things PG as you might guess from the banner.
Wow -- I feel like I'm somebody now. I've been banned from BanthaSkull.com ???
For some reason, I doubt you have been banned. We've only banned four people, ever.
I'm not quoting it because I have to leave soon, but please read the FULL About Us section instead of that tiny sniglet of it that makes us look bad. Read the full thing before making your descision.
The worst part about this is everyone isn't reading the whole About Us section, just that little part.

Yeah, why is that? I have noticed it as well. Do all the Star Wars fans live in only those 2 states? I started a thread for VA and it is dying from neglect.
Fair enough...it was more of a rhetorical complaint. The flip side of living in MINN would be all the increased competition looking for new stuff in the stores. It would be nice to be part of an actual SW community though.
I do like this site. I actually find it more robust than the other handful of sites I can access here at work.

We generally don't compete with each other for the most part - it's more of a congrats to who scores what first. We're good at helping each other out with pretty much any toy line that any of us are looking for which is pretty awesome. Nice to have dozens of eyes out there at multiple stores so you don't have to go driving all over town. I'm sure there's plenty of others just like you in VA that just aren't part of the online collecting community - or they just don't care to be.
Glad you like the site!
...the PSWCS Bill Cable runs...
If by "runs" you mean "rules with an iron fist." Forcing us into driving halfway across the state every couple of months, having to look through other people's collections, sell and trade toys, play games for prizes and eat food and endless snacks... ;D

Why do members of the DCSWCC pay dues?
And who deactivated 80% of the PSWCS? :o
PSWCS has almost 370. Not bragging, just saying. We're helped by not having dues. Maybe 20% of our members would qualify as "active."
TV's or Television?

Ok, back up your words you thread locking Modzi. Ban me. If we can't have fun on this forum then there's no use for it. You lock so many threads it makes my head hurt, it's about time someone called you out. I for one won't back down.
I remember when DiFabio(RIP) decided to go this route, with forum suicide. Sometimes, you gotta understand their position. GNT is hella cool, and deserves much more respect than you know. Moderating is a very tough job, especially is the cantina. Dude, if I were you, I'd delete my posts with a quickness.
All I can see is 'Dead Man Walking' flashbacks. I know that you say you don't care, and all, but Scum will leave a hole that no other forum can fill.

What they need to do is enforce the rule about people who only post in Wuher's. I come here sometimes and some of the off topic threads are interesting but I am here primarily to talk about Star Wars. If people no longer contribute in any way to a Star Wars related thread they should asked to leave. Just my opinion...
I don't know that to be true, but I could easily see it having been conjured up there out of some mod's ass to change the game as they see fit. Not unheard of by any means.

I'm not completely annoying
Censorship is pretty hard there. Can't even say "balls" there! And when I started a thread about a wonderful 6-part NatGeo WW2 documentary called "Apocalypse" I got a mod's PM within 5 minutes saying he removed it :o Hmph....
Heck, didn't even know there was a thread about RS! Guess I should visit the non-SW discussion section here more often, eh?
Anyway, I'm mostly at RS for the customs and fellow scummer (and Defender, too!) Daigo_Bah does one helluva job making thread indexes on dioramas, vehicles and figures. Crap, I really should get back helping him out with the latter :-\

I don't know, but I wish I could get my hands on one of those rare Lt. Renz busts. Are they available yet?
Those are so hard to get. They only have it on their front page 24-7, 365 days a year. You really just have to hit it at the right time. I gave up on it a long time ago ;)
Well, what did he expect? It's a lame character that had no business being produced.
Same here... I paid $60 plus tax, plus shipping. Nearly $80.00.
Joke's on me.
A month after I bought mine they were available at the Dallas Sci Fi Expo for $50 flat and now they can't give them away.
Wow, I happened to google my name and it directed me here. I completely forgot that I made an account on jedidefender. October 17, 2006, 06:10 PM? Man, time flies. So how are all the scummers on here doing?
601 busts still left...get one before they are gone!Oooh...we've cracked sub 600...down to 594. 7 gone in 15 days. That means we can stop counting down in 1,273 days or so!
I bought one for every person I can't stand at JD. Six more left!That is awfully nice of you to ship one all the way to Denmark. Henrik Wulff Rasmussen will be very pleased "You Rebel scum!" 8)
(P.S. Rob, I need your new address. This is totally unrelated, by the way.)
I sure hope JD doesn't commit to this kind of failure someday. ;)

So does this mean that Willrow Hood, a random background character backed by JD and was predicted to lead to the death of Star Wars merchandise if he was ever made into a figure, is more popular than Lt. Renz, a random background character backed by and responsible for the creation of the most popular Star Wars collecting website of all time?

Seems to me the $8 basic figure had a better chance than the expensive bust did. I'm no expert, but.......
Ours has sound as well, when you push a button on it. It says, "Thanks Scott!", and that's it.
OK, you guys caught us...
The Wilrow Hood Bust will be out next year, sold only through JD, and it'll be more than $8. We expect it to blow the doors off Lt. Renz though.

Finally. I've been seeing at bad Star Wars sketches for years waiting for something at least semi-decent to come along.
Is that Michael Corleone?
Found this picture over at RS. I wonder how many are still sitting in Wise's garage?
But for $10, I almost bought one. But didn't.
Is the guy on the left kid Boba Fett? Dude has some serious steroid-induced bitch knockers going on. I've seen bovines with smaller nipples.Daniel Logan?
What's the square looking thing underneath PW's shirt ??? scary? He certainly does have a muppity look about his face....
I just like how the guy on the left is staring right at you while the other two are looking at a different camera. It seems it is more about the guy in the tight shirt than Yoda....err, I mean PW.

And what exactly is that guy doing with his left hand? ;)
Fortunately Scott only sold to a limited number of collectors, and it's all been pretty well documented. Unless I'm mistaken all of the fake are now out of circulation.
How'd he fake them, just out of curiosity? I haven't heard anything about this.
OK, soooo... I just saw on their front page that there were threads discussing this, and Philip deleted them?
If there's evidence against or for someone's case on their forums, and Philip removed it, what would be the motivation for that? That seems counter-productive to the process of sorting out the mess. :-\

They have guys scalping pretty freely on their boards anymore from what I hear, and they always had people hurling insults back and forth unchecked till Geg(g) just decided to lock the whole thread down instead of actually taking some action against the people who needed to be simply banned for not listening.
It might have to do with their search index. They were saying the index they generated was already massive. Locking down posts after two days would ensure they wouldn't need to re-index them.
Not that I understand why they're creating an index to search against anyway...
Good point, name. I'd forgotten his "." phase... What a fucko.
... the moderator's response to that was like "let's not get into what rights you have on our board"
They have not mentioned it, but a new feature of the forums is that you can read it in the original German.

I'm having so many blue/brown coat flashbacks too. That was epic. Fleet Trooper debating... For me that was epic. Good times since it made you realize, "This is so dumb, I'm going to just walk away from it".
It still amazes me though, all the problems they can't wrangle in, and they are more agitated with the people who question their authority/reasoning... Don't sweat the big ****, let's just worry about the guys that ask too many questions.

Fun thought for the day...
I guess I got/get paid more than Curto since I got two Lego figures yesterday courtesy of my boss. How about that? :D
Rumor has it I'm being fired though being, and quoting from my performance review, "A bit of a dickhole". It was initialed JMAC&OCB. >:(
All of the mod team moderate this site do so in our free time for the sheer love of the hobby (we don't get paid for this) but please show some respect towards all of us, no matter what section we're from and/or the decisions that've been made Remember this site is what YOU make of it, we're here to keep the peace and keep it all in check, sadly that thread (I have checked it out) was way out of line and the comments posted just unacceptable period.
Well good for you. You and your pals do a ****** *** job of modding what used to be a really awesome site. AND for free no less. WOW!!! good for you. Too bad, if you got paid, you guys would get fired for the job you're done lately.
I never read the thread it was gone before I had a chance to look. Which is another problem we have. It should have been locked down. As for comments being way out of line. It shows the action was taken by someone who doesn't know Joe even a little bit. Bringing up another issue. I always thought each section had it's own set of mods. That's the impression I've always had, considering I know I've never see your name pop up here.
I'm curious why I was singled out as I wasn't the first to make a comment about this mods brain power. And whoever did Joes ban BTW deserves the "moron mod" title. Trust me I was showing respect I could have just called him a ******bag ******* **** knob dickbag. Which would have been alot more fitting I think.
AND finally take your and shove it up your ***.
I appreciate you coming in here and posting about this. This proves it's not difficult. Would have been nicer and meant more if the mod who actually was involved took a couple seconds out of his busy day ruling with an iron fist and governing through fear and tyranny (at least how I see it) to step up and make any type of statement. I guess it's easier and better to ban people and remove undesirables when no one knows who you are and you aren't accountable to the people that you're over seeing.
I'm starting to think there will be another wave of ex-RS members dropping by, if that thread continues on its current path.
You can ******* swear here **** **** **** ****
What a trainwreck of a thread. It's always something with those guys.
Makes me wonder though - why doesn't someone start a SW website for adults, where cursing and all that stuff is ok?
It's really been awhile since I had to step in and take action on something like this. Probably there are many here that either don't know or don't remember a few basic things that are dead set in stone by me.
The forum is not a democracy.
There is no freedom of speech in this forum.
The forum is provided here so people can hang out together and talk about Star Wars collecting in a manner that's mutually respectful.
I do not care how much you are pissed off at companies like efx, no matter how much you may feel they deserve it. You may not be disrespectul of them in this forum.
I'm sure there are other forums that wouldn't mind having your participation, regardless of its venom.
If you cannot live with this, leave. Right now. Just be done with it and move on. And no, I don't want to see any goodbye threads. I just want you gone.
If you continue, we will permanently remove your access to the forum.
Now when I go to their front page, I get a redirect to an ad for MySpace. MySpace? That must be what's hot in Canada. ;)
I've just been made aware of the issues with Joe Y's posting that caused him to be suspended for month. I've also seen the diatribe that followed.
Stop it now.
I'm getting ready to lock that thread down. Do not start any further discussion on this topic.
Here's what you need to know about why this happened:
Yes, I let this section self-moderate. And it's been very good for years.
However, self-moderation is not no moderation.
Self-moderation did not happen, and the thread got out of hand by a member who good and well knows better.

Nobody's even sure why he was "fired" though too, so who knows. Only Curto/Scum staff know what the truth is in all that quagmire.
I recently had to insist that the site be credited for information used from it in a printed book that's coming out, so I have a strong feeling about who receives credit in this case.

Given the $ involved I wonder if a suit could be opened up on AFA?
Somebody posted the AFA legal disclaimer on their certificates. It basically said "This is our opinion. If it's wrong you're SOL." There isn't an legal recourse against them.
Can someone who's read through all that give me the cliff's notes version? How was he caught, what is the evidence, has he said anything yet?

That is sad. Especially considering the amount they charge, you'd hope that would equal the quality of customer service. Guess not.
That is sad. Especially considering the amount they charge, you'd hope that would equal the quality of customer service. Guess not.
what do they charge on average for a 3 3/4" scale Star wars figure?
I just can't feel bad for anyone that used AFA. I've always thought sending figures away to be graded was pretentious. I have a pretty large vintage collection, but I don't grades on them to show ...what? How great they are? How much nicer they are than someone else's? It's a worthless concept IMHO.
I don't like that they open up vintage figures for U grades.
That's always struck me as blasphemous, even if they are usually ones that are pretty beat up.
I understand their position with the disclaimers, but if you aren't paying them to stand behind their assessment, what are you paying them for? I agree that having a 3rd party evaluate a product to help determine condition has a place in any market where the parties don't interact personally and the purchase can't be inspected by the buyer prior to purchase. Their cost should include them taking some of the risk of errors. But AFA has now shown that their model does not provide any certainty anyhow.
Now to send them some absolutely mint kubrick logray figures for grading before they shut the doors. >:D (inside joke for kubie junkies)
Rebelscum seems to have updated their forum shell / software, and it sucks.
That's all.
I'd be curious to know what that guy was doing with all the money. And how does this all get resolved? I'm assuming the stolen merchandise gets returned if it can be identified. Does that mean the buyer is out all that money? Or does he have to sue to get his money back?

I guess I just feel bad in general about the situation.Dammit Jesse, how many times do I have to say I don't know how your portable safe ended up in my car?! ;D
And if he truly is a sociopath it sounds like he’s trying to get help with that now. Like I said I’ve seen people who lost a loved one to someone’s negligence or simple lack of giving a **** and I have seen more sympathy. I can’t blame Sansweet either though. You feel how you feel. Like I said I’ve had things stolen from me, by a friend. Didn’t want the guy’s life in total shambles from it I just wanted him to pay for it and get help for why he did it. Didn’t wanna be his friend anymore either though haha.
New management is set to take control soon. And even Phil acknowledged in his announcement that there will probably be an uptick in their content output.
Probably over a decade ago it was a daily stop for me. The photo archive is still a good resource, especially for determining when something was released and what it originally sold for. That is really the only thing I have used the site for recently.

So... an online shop/reseller is now in control of Rebelscum? I'm guessing the "uptick" will be heavily ad related then? :P

That is probably the only reason I've gone to their site over the past four years also.
As communities go, this is the only one I enjoy. Disgust groups are just full of toxicity... and the other forums are no better, and increasingly fewer. I’m content with the friends I made here. Not a lot of new guys I feel I’d relate to, and not even a lot of older collectors I relate to anymore now that many of them are batshit insane.

You have to wonder what is really in it for the buyer. I imagine just a means to get the list of forum member email addresses for marketing purposes and to throw more ads on the front page. RS hasn’t been a news worthy site since Curto left almost a decade ago. The change in RS now or tomorrow is insignificant nowadays.

The value of user data is something that tends to go by most people without much regard, but there can be significant value there in large communities. In the case of RS, I don't know if that's even worth it because I get the sense that their user data might largely be dated. But I would not put it past the new owners to sell the user data to whomever.
