I think people should give him a chance.

I think it's a darned shame that he decided not to import members, as that means the community is starting from scratch all over again. I hope he is more successful with the messages themselves, although I see some serious vB problems if he tries to do an import once new members have established their accounts.

I also wouldn't hold my breath for any more in-depth explanation other than what you already know -- the system went down, he couldn't restore it, he got busy with work, and it took 3 months instead of 3 hours to put things sort of back the way they were. He'll spend some time there gettings things back in order, but I don't see any reason he'd change the way the community is run.

while I agree, I think more people would be willing to do so...if he would be willing to give people who WERENT given chances...a chance. Im not one to hold a grudge, and I had moved on...but to not have a platform to have explained myself and my POV was really a rotten thing~ then to go to register today and find I was still banned..when I was under the impression everything was lost in the mighty crash...How is it IP addresses werent lost, but you still had to re register? how is that possible? Isnt that sort of crazy? Like weird crazy? Personally, I find this place to be more hospitable to my liking anyhow...I like to freedom to speak...I dont like constraints( of course, within certain boundries) but yeesh... ifind it weird.
