I'm gone
on: October 05, 2009, 06:48:27 pm
Mostly, I might still come to see if anyone posted anything interesting but I won't post much anymore. I've been here since 2003, and there have been many changes to my life since that time, but one thing that has always been constant was HLP. It's been good, but recent policy changes have become far too restrictive and it amounts to blatant censorship. A word of warning, posting anything that isn't 100% politically correct, or something that a few thin skinned people don't like is now considered "trolling".

It isn't easy to let go, but I don't see a choice anymore, not after Goober's abuse of his admin power these past few days. 1984 has found a new home here. It won't be long before this thread is locked for questioning this new reality, so whatever you want to say make it fast. :p
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Discussions amongst the admins and mods over this matter are currently ongoing. I'd suggest not doing anything too hasty yet.

Kosh is throwing an internet hissy fit, complete with overblown Orwellian accusations. You get used to that sort of thing.

I won't say I'm sorry to see you go, Kosh. You've grown increasingly confrontational and less well-grounded in your posting style over the last several months, so I'm not completely surprised Goob got fed up. He was perhaps out of line, perhaps not, but you've now justified him quite nicely with your Taka/Mobius/Trashmanonareallybadday-esque accusations of Orwellian behaviors and admin abusiveness without, once again, attempting to support or justify said accusations.

And that was the last thing I ever expected from you.

I am none of them, I was falsely censored by Goober. Anything that isn't 100% politically correct he will crush it, he more or less said so himself.

And by the way, do **** off for comparing me to them. Of course Goober would censor an opinion he disagrees with, but see if he does anything about a personal attack against me.

Based on what a certain quoted poster said combined with a certain admin I'm not sure if those discussions are welcome here anymore. I do enjoy them as well. Karajorma has convinced me to stick around, at least until this gets sorted out, so much to the chargin of certain others I won't leave quite yet.
