However, the main page on SW was really full of locked and moved topics of people who seem to be either spreading rumors or asking incredibly simple questions, that SW deemed it necessary to do that.

All I know is I can say Southperry again on SW without getting an infraction, which was the main reason why I ended up on Southperry (I got banned because this forum existed.)

It's just another message board, I don't know why people take internet-drama so seriously... Honestly! To sum up stuff, Adura (the admin) of SW was a pedophile that obtains 'dirty' pictures of women, and makes those certain women moderators. Adura abused his powers as an Administrator, and he's a piece-of-pomegranate one, at that. He eventually owned the site, he belittles everyone, and if he doesn't like how you are on his board, he bans you or threatens you because he enjoys being a cyber-'gangsta'. All the cool people from there left to join here anyways, that and some people got banned. Fiel left out of his own choice. -shrugs- I did eventually too, I hated that site.

Swerve Wrote:omg Hypamug. I remember when you used to post in Bera sub-section before you became a moderator. You had a pokemon avatar that was a bug. You used to be so cool back then.

Kalovale Wrote:I forgot to mention that I was also taken aback to discover Fiel's posts' disappearance. His 4th job Skill Table is my all-time bookmarked thread.

Taiketo Wrote:I saw a post on another board that I frequent made by Fiel mentioning this place. Knowing that Fiel was a pretty cool guy, I followed it, made an account, etc.

Also what's this about Art being arrested? What. I never heard about this at all. D:

yay for posting more than once.

seriously, i only came here because, well... because i did. o-o there wasnt an ulterior motive to it. i had made an account here around the same time that basil blacklisted southperry, and i let my account sit dormant. i went back to basil in a buisness-as-usual mindset. i dont remember what lit the spark of the powder keg, but i knew at one point that i needed to find a new forum. i remembered i had an account here, and for a week weened into it, going back to basil a lot just because it was homey. then after that, well... i still go back there, mostly for the screen section. sure i may post here or there, but i just really dont. for a few months i acted and tried to become a mod there, but, after coming to the realization that it wasnt possible due to 1) i wasnt that well known for being a very up-standing individual all the time, or, rather, i was known by a small group that knew i had my own posting styles (this is all my ego talking here, so pardon my ignorance to others views of me) and values, but i was one of those few of the community that had maturity, and 2) i just grew tired of the site. i was probably only known best for my poems, which a small percentage even knew of, and that i had editted avatars that were accepted that by common sense ought not have been, despite that not being the case nowadays.

that was really one of the deal-closers for here, a forum dedicated solely towards literacy. my god, it was like i had an epiphany and an orgasm simultaneously in my mind, and i was just left wondering why i shouldnt migrate? the community as a whole here is more mature, and in some instances, more entertaining (nothing can top LLied from basil's past, nothing. sorry opeth/greg, you guys are good, but he caused drama that unfolded like a masterfully orchestrated pirouette of chaos before my awestruck eyes, and allowed my exploration of the persona and character roles of the original Tobias Black character identity. it was a good time to have had experienced). and, comparing basil's iRC to SP's... there is no comparison, SP's is better. just... in many regards, SP has its advantages and superiorities to basil, but for me at least, i will never be able to fully leave. ive still got people i know well enough and talk to over there, but dont consider yet to be friends, and for nostalgia/screens.

plus, SP has , which is made of win. sure it has data extractions as well, but thats not a reason for staying, its just a perk for me.
