One thing I should have mentioned in my chat with jimimac, though I doubt it would have changed his mind about leaving, is that not every thread here allows guests to post. I have to sign in for some. I assume the thread starter can block guest posts, or maybe threads in certain forums are off-limits to guests. I'm not sure why it is. Anyway. Just tossing that in for those curious about guest posting.

Has there been a problem with guests posting? It seems pretty friendly here but I haven't read every thread. I'm guessing some of the people who deleted their accounts might still be posting as guests. Just a hunch.

If I want to engage with someone directly, I'll sign in and use my member name, so they can know who they're talking to. Usually it's just not important.

Wow, it seems like a lot more. Thanks "Stranger!"

One of the posters who deleted their accounts recently is now claiming that he was banned here. I don't think that happened. I hope he reaches out to the Administrator here if he needs help posting again.
"Closed my account with TopBilled due to irreconcilable differences. Now I am totally banned there too. I'm not a troll, but can be difficult sometimes. A slap on the hand will keep me in check. I believe a complete ban, all the way down to the ISP should be unlawful, but it has now happened twice. "

" He was fine until he decided he didn't like guest posting, if it's jimimac you're talking about. He was active on the music boards and seemed in good spirits. I can't imagine why he'd be banned but maybe he tried guest posting on a thread that doesn't allow guests and took that to mean a ban.
It also sounds like a little personal drama. You never know what someone is going through.

True, not all threads allow guests here. So, there could be the misunderstanding. Good point that you just never know what people are going through. There seemed to be some past issues with the TCM forum. Oh well. I think he'd be more than welcome to come back if he changes his mind.

Instead if one deletes their account, due to technical reasons, they can't log back on for around 10 days. I just advised him (at the SSO site) that he wasn't banned. I hope he returns.

He\she just told me he will not be coming back. Said that the "guest" here were talking about him. Wow, some people are overly sensitive, if not paranoid. Oh, well.

Wow, some people are overly sensitive, if not paranoid. Oh, well. Bummer. I appreciate your trying to extend an olive branch to him/her. I think it was only fair to explain that he/she has not been banned here. That was giving people the wrong (bad) impression of this site. Case closed. I don't want to get you in trouble over there!

On to SSO! Looks like jimimac71 can't stop talking about this forum at SSO. It's cool if you don't want to participate but you don't wonder to bad mouth it either. Now that's rude.
"Well, I rapidly looked at all 26 pages here. I will say without being shy about it, I am the one who complained about God being use on the Classic Film TV Radio forum. I happened automatically at 500 posts and TopBilled was first (naturally). I complained because 2 other people had God above their name and for the same reason. One person was embarrassed by it. Someone here mentioned the software and that was it. I dug through support pages and found the solution. Posted it and TB fixed. He thanked everyone who helped. I did not receive credit for my trouble, so I'll take it now. I agree that TB is not a person who should be admin or moderator. He refuses to make people join and the site is over run with Guests. That is why I left. This is going to be the forum to replace TCM's. He should close up shop and come over here. I see some people don't want that. He is a writer and not someone to operate a forum. EDIT: As Steve Jobs use to say, "One More Thing." A guest from over there quoted me from over here. That is normally taboo. Another person using both forums talked behind my back, which is just rude. "

Funny but I wondered is the guest "Stranger passing through" was this jimimac71 person. Yea, I know the "qoute" feather is sometimes hard to use, but why would you quote your own post and then ask a question like "is that you?" ?
