Ye.
She's still around in a gilded cage of her own design.
At this point she's hurting herself more than we could by sitting by herself on her own website.
She also probably still checks the loonas tits blog, but updates on that have stopped since this place happened.
To me it looked like she very much enjoyed taking the site down.
She watched the forum for extensive amount of hours every day, after edvard had messed with her head, exaggerating the situation. The cp subject really affected her psyche a lot, she was pushed every day by edvard to make sure there's 0% uptime of cp and this was their ultimate mistake
Luna put the site in a lockdown state as passive counter to cp (and ruin the experience for regular/possible members). She had lost herself and despised free speech more and more with every passing moment she was watching sc. She and her mods did literal watch shifts as if they were paid workers. She wanted to strive away from "lawless" and turn the site into moderated. Stupid shit like when ppl had to flag their posts as nsfw l0l
We did make her a truce offer to stand down with the spam if we could return as regular members. Luna, Ed and Inq declined, stating we were to pay for the harm we caused by not being allowed to return
Now if ed was smart, he would've convinced them otherwise. Cp wouldve stopped, there wouldve been no need to have an admin/mod on watch 24/7
= luna wouldve chilled, forum wouldve been alive now
Trypt mentioned once he was gonna create a new forum for members after loons blatant power abuse ban of xadem, she saw that as an opportunity to go out while seeming like the winner against jim (she called every rule breaking puppet jim)
So ye, was all about egos here. Ed luna inq were all emotionally invested which makes make think they will not come to this forum, but who knows i might be wrong
To me it looked like she very much enjoyed taking the site down.
Like Ed was going on about in chat, this was the classic "You can't fire me I quit".
He alluded to relationships or some shit but whatever.
The biggest reason that taking down the site might have seemed exciting is over how she could finally get some sleep without worrying about her past quotes and blunders on other forums being reposted (as well as creepy sexually targetting usernames, she stated herself that intimacy and horror movies are scary to her so... what else was the spammer to do?). This shit was happening all hours of the day for months, and her mods all gave up from either having lives or wanting to appear to, so she was left to do all the work herself.
She got tired, she broke, and the final straw was actually done by Legga in chat.
She watched the forum for extensive amount of hours every day, after edvard had messed with her head, exaggerating the situation.
Oh believe me I saw the hours she clocked. She stayed on once the stuff became about her and kept being copy/pasted on repeat.
Vanity hits her harder than anything else, and has always been the fastest way to get her to change code and the easiest way to turn her into more of a no-lifer than she already is. It's just like when Kiwi made their avatar her face, she immediately added a function to remove avatars mod-side and eventually just shut off new users being able to have them.
It was less about CP than it should have been.
The cp subject really affected her psyche a lot, she was pushed every day by edvard to make sure there's 0% uptime of cp and this was their ultimate mistake
She went months without doing anything about it, and immediately responded once it became about her and her "company".
She only cares about her image, and that's been true for over half a decade now.
Luna put the site in a lockdown state as passive counter to cp (and ruin the experience for regular/possible members). She had lost herself and despised free speech more and more with every passing moment she was watching sc. She and her mods did literal watch shifts as if they were paid workers.
They gave up on that shifts business really fast once it snowballed.
Their hours were super obvious, especially once Luna put up a reputation log to have mods be held accountable.
She wanted to strive away from "lawless" and turn the site into moderated. Stupid shit like when ppl had to flag their posts as nsfw l0l
She's had this tantrum tons of times. It's what had me post Kiwi shit in triggered protest in her topic on there.
We did make her a truce offer to stand down with the spam if we could return as regular members. Luna, Ed and Inq declined, stating we were to pay for the harm we caused by not being allowed to return
Then Luna overreached and they all changed camps. Ed and Spatial stopped attending almost entirely and Inq only went for names that were super blatant to keep Luna placated.
Now if ed was smart, he would've convinced them otherwise. Cp wouldve stopped, there wouldve been no need to have an admin/mod on watch 24/7
I had this argument with him for ages, that the CP was posted because of people being triggered, and that being less rustled would mean less Jimmies as a result.
His approach is dogmatic and prone to shifts when he changes camps, but "negotiating with terrorists" was never on his agenda.
Trypt mentioned once he was gonna create a new forum for members after loons blatant power abuse ban of xadem, she saw that as an opportunity to go out while seeming like the winner against jim (she called every rule breaking puppet jim)
She eventually dropped the "It's Jim" thing when the spammer stopped claiming to not be Jim. She claimed it was Billy, Dexter, and a few others when people like Ed started emphasizing the differences on loop.
She literally shut down registration to try to laugh at "Jim", but then a post on the loonas tits blog had her still see she was being laughed at.
So ye, was all about egos here. Ed luna inq were all emotionally invested which makes make think they will not come to this forum, but who knows i might be wrong
We'll see Inq most likely, Ed will be more likely to join once he feels like TFI has "proven himself", which I'm more than optimistic over from past experiences of self-demonstration with him, and Luna... might come here when her Reddit and gilded cage time proves to be the same as talking to the walls of a padded cell.
She'll try to join as "Puppy" or some shit, but we'll all see through it quickly.
Ye i admit you did a great job at exposing lunas tyranny. You caused her to ban puppets that didnt broke any of their dozens of imaginary rules they had, which eventually caused ed to resign (what a hypocrite lmao)
There was a lot of tension in the air already because of xadems ban too so that was good timing
I doubt inq/ed will come to the forum unless its under special requirements, such as me and jim being banned on sight again. Which will bring us back to square 1 :^)
I think inqs scheming this considering he got the domain and still hasnt been here
The "spam" began actually around the time Billy started kicking up dust (the spam starting as Alexa Kiska posts to prove a point).
It was a little under three months of slow milling, as that's when the first real opportunity truly shined.
It was barely any different from how I'd normally post, just poorly spelled with specifically targeting usernames that were reposted each time it was taken down (at the start anyway, it went a little off the rails when my mania kicked into high gear and she did clear projection posts).
Edit: I think you'll find Inq surprising by comparison to the others in this subject. He was unbanning people caught in crossfires and otherwise allowing a lot of content to stay up from how it wasn't breaking rules. He would watch the "spam" posts appear for hours and let them stay up if it wasn't names with "Turkish" themes.
There's a reason he was demodded first, as that was after that "Volunteer Mods" nonsense when she claimed only admins had to do anything for the website (clear compensation idea and a caustic idea on her part, it gave them an excuse to do nothing when they were already at that point without excuses).
Yes but he was still banning me and jim, even in one of his latest sc posts he said he finds it necessary to continue banning us on sight
Inq was slightly more lax in his bannings compared to ed, but not enough to cross as different policy. So yes, he does have a motive to try to continue keeping us away which is nothing but ego
He just doesn't want CP on there, and if he were to be demodded who would be there to unban crossfire cases? He had Luna hounding his ass as the only other real mod on the forum, and the pressure in his tone expressed the fire she was trying to put under his ass. Maybe I'm just projecting from my own times dealing with Luna, but it resembled the shit she used to try to throw at me (although I tried a more "King of the North" approach, seeing that licking her boots meant having no respect from the community... or myself really). She once yelled at me for saying nothing when she fucked up, when in all reality I was on a bus using shitty public wifi on it.
He had to somewhat play the game to keep the place going, unlike Edvard for instance who after a point began to show up only around once a week.
