The great thing about a community is that no one person can make or break it if that community has any real character. I actually found some of those guys occasionally amusing and never offensive but Inforoo will be around as long as there is a Bonnaroo with or without them. I would suggest that permanent banishment is pretty harsh for any disagreement or transgression. I can never unsee Juggs' avatar and I'm still glad he's back.
Dont recall what thread it was under and have not yet relocated it. Roof had a post regarding the way more experienced roosters were treating Noobs. Dont want to misquote.. as i recall he likened it to bullying and provided his thoughts on the whole exchange. Think i also recall he suggested there would be a lot of crying if the events ended in banishment from the kingdom for some of the fav's. How did he see that coming? : )
Usually your bully doesn't give you about a 100 chances to walk away from the situation. Also, if you're being bullied, chances are you don't continuously agitate the bully with repetitive, nonsensical insults devoid of even the mildest understanding of grammar and spelling. As far as I observed, that "setlist" thread was simply 7 pages of ryanhashton trying to get the last word in, and no one would let him.
Also, I'm like 80 percent sure that that was a fake account from someone on here... I mean seriously, no one is that stupid... openly suggesting MMJ be replaced with Los Lonely Boys? Come on.
Edit: wow, didn't notice there was another page to this thread... the above rant is highly irrelevant at this point. However I will say that I do not know the full background of this situation in terms of who has been warned to stop being mean? However, I do know that I've seen at least one person (no names named) that does his/her fair share of harassing/criticizing/fucking with/whatever board noobs that has not been banned. If you're going to crack down, then crack down, but don't play favorites.

OK, as a living breathing member of the male species....personally, I saw nothing WRONG with the avatar. It actually all looked pretty damn right to me....
Unfortuantely, we have these stupid rules around here due to the fact that some folks spend more time on inforoo at work all day that actually working. The LAST thing we want is for said person's boss to see the Avatar de Juggs 'o porn.....That would be bad.
so, to answer your question, NOTHING was wrong with it, except t it broke the rules... :-(

Fantastic answer! I for one saw it at work... and was more afraid my boss would enjoy it than be mad.

My point is that you violated rules in a way that is permanent, people can't unsee it, and your punishment was temporary. It was fair. I'm hoping there is a similar resolution here.
Considering the inforoo bashing I see in my facebook feed, I'm not sure I want these people back...
I have absolutely no idea what went down... and I'm guessing a lot of you guys don't either. It's between Adam and the folks he banned. I stay out of the chat and any sort of controversy here on the boards. I've made some great friends from this board, and I happen to enjoy being a part of it.
Don't like inforoo or what the mods have done? Create your own board with your friends. Simple as that.
some people use this forum for the specific purpose of quacking with people. That is not what inforoo is about, that is not why we exist, and Adam made the decision that people who were using this forum for those pruposes will be banned. they do not fit the vibe of inforoo and they only bring the board down.
Who was doing this? Certainly not willsfc. Certainly not alpaca. Certainly not ox64, nodepression, or awatd.
As far as the chartroom goes, that does play a part. Look guys, you can laugh and call it petty all you want, but Adam owns the copywright to the Inforoo name. That group was asked nicely, not nicely and everyway in betweento stop using his property. Not only did they refuse, but they made childish little 7th grade jokes about it.
I would be literally shocked if you or adam could cite a single case in which an internet chatroom used for discussion of a product or service was found to be violating the copyright/trademark of that product or service based on the name of said chatroom. It's patently ridiculous, and it's being used as an excuse to ban good people from this forum.
Make no mistake, these individuals WERE NOT banned for "using a chatroom" as some on here have implied.
And I quote: <Adam> This is Adam from Inforoo™. Last warning, tell your friends. I'm about 99.9% sure that anyone continuing to use the #inforoo IRC chat after midnight eastern time tonight will be banned from Inforoo™ If you want to chat go chat somewhere else
They aren't coming back in a week. They may come back using TOR or IPProxy or something, but we will know as soon as they do, becasue they HAVE to make their presence know. they need the attention.....
You're treating this as if some of the most well-respected members of inforoo are devious trolls on the level of rothandroo or that other guy whose name i don't remember. They're not. Willsfc is the guy who records roo shows and posts them for us. Nodepression is the resident angry hipster. You get the point...

Have any of the banned members tried to contact Adam via e-mail? (It's on the left side bar of the main page) That might be a good first step in understanding what's happened.
