That forum isnt hopeless, they’ve evolved over time, but founder/owner can be a hothead with that stuff and the news parts were always more problematic than the sports part. I can still lurk the sports parts and was trying to post less on any forums anyways, so it was whatever.
Just to clear up the 2+2 stuff, yes Mat banned me. Im guessing he was looking for a reason. There were amazon reviews, but I hadnt really hidden them. At various times when chez and company were allowing just literal white supremacy and other assorted nonsense in unchained I had posted in threads to chez that hey man, im gonna post this in an amazon review. Maybe you and the 2+2 owners can think about how the forum is reflecting on your business. I had forgotten they were even there, they were months old when Mat found them. I took them down when he asked me to do so after making the point directly to Mat that hey, probably a bad look to let the white supremacists run free. But he was very clear it was a permaban and its his site. Chez was looking for a reason to ban me at that point anyways, so whatever.
Oh, and I didnt threaten to dox wil. What happened was wil had my real name from paying off a bet. Wil then tried to claim at some point that he “knew people that ran in my circle” so that I should be careful, hinting at certain information he had gotten from these people. Since this was wil, I knew he was full of shit and had just googled my name. So I did the same thing. No identifying information but hinting I knew where he worked because I also could use google. Wil later admitted he was lying and didnt know anyone, just had googled my name. Chez banned me for 5 days for doxxing.
Wil used to live in PA, and this is the worst timeline, so hopefully this doesnt end with Biden losing by 1 in PA.
Wont derail further, good luck tonight everyone
