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...

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.

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.
Anyway, if you're not in a collecting club, you should be!

What the hell do you think JediDefender is, Bill?! ;)
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)

If you guys ever hold a Pennsylvania JD meeting, be sure to give me a holler.
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.

Why do I get that feeling they will give you this answer:
Please email Philip Wise ( philip@rebelscum.com )

Wise locked that thread because the site in question is not a sponser. What a douche.
Dear Famine,

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 don't think Depmode likes you. ;)
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.
