heres another question. how is it that freddy reflects badly on the site? i mean.. the authorities WERE notified werent they. maybe if he wree on another site spitting that shit perhaps someone would not have cared?

This just proves that you have no idea what went on, perhaps if you had actually been here, you would understand...Try to consider this...

We had just over 300 members here...Over 1500 people registered here within 2 short weeks after the "incident"...90% of those came to bash, trash and BLAME us for what Freddy did...Not only did they PERSONALLY attack our members individually (Cheeba and Arioch taking the most heat, for some reason)...But, they blamed our site, as well as the horror genre in general...You have no idea what it was like...Constant fighting and defending ourselves for over a solid month...Threats that we were going to be shut down (at a time when we didn't know whether it would happen or not, considering that the FBI and FCC were involved)...All out flooding of the board, so that it was impossible to even post...Racist and inflammatory shit ALL over the forum, and we had NO moderators...Horror deleted almost ALL of the chaos that occurred here, himself...It was also the very first time that anyone ever had to be banned...
Overall...For those of us who WERE here (and because of this, there aren't many left)...This was NOT a pleasant, positive experience that we like to revisit every time someone new comes along...
If you still don't 'get it'...Try to imagine Bane under ALL of his various SNs, multiplied by 50, all on the board at the same time, for nearly 2 solid months, motivated by hatred instead of just mere stupidity...
I don't understand how anyone could imagine that it DIDN'T reflect badly on us...Especially since that was exactly what nearly 1,000 people came here specifically to tell us...
Time and time again we were informed that it was OUR SITE and the HORROR GENRE (movies, books, games...you name it) that CAUSED Freddy to be the way that he was, and to do the things that he did...I hate to inform you that it was NOT a "Thank you so much for diverting a catastrophe" lovefest...
This is the last thing that I will say about this matter, if you STILL can't comprehend the situation, nothing else that anyone could tell you will help to enlighten you...

BTW...Wasn't it YOU, Fluff...Who said on several different occasions..."If you don't like it here, stop whining about it, and just leave"?
