Well... alarming stuff to say the least.

You of course have to be careful of directing words like paedophile around the internet because of slander and defamation. It was a little unclear from AsylumSeeker's post the level of Dave's involvement in any unappropriate behaviour with minors, but I think it's fair to say that with his alleged harassment PMs and apparently dubious agendas for 'chatting' that he had become a prominent but increasingly undesirable member of this forum. He used to PM me a lot as well, but nothing sexual... honest. :D

well that was alot of info
me being new didn't know all that was going on i got some pm's from dave but only about movies
not really a pedifile though that term is used alot but if you take a psych 101 class you would know the pedifile is when they like the boys and girls before they are developed so 14 year old girls would not fall into that catagory more like predater. unless this term has become broader in recient years. not that that makes it ok

he was always nice to me never had any idea something else was going on

also would like to apologize to any one offened by my posts and threads about this banning didn't know enough info and i hope that the people effected stay here or return to HDC
also if it hasn't been done already the threads i started about bring him back could be deleted
thank you

When I came in here brand new and knew absolutely nothing about what was going on and who was who, Dave was very welcoming. I received tons of p.m.s welcoming me and encouraging me to visit "his" J horror board along with a lot telling me who the idiots and jerks were from the old group and how he and his friends were simply being abused for no good reason. I also got them from Trippin, who seemed another very nice and welcoming member. It seemed he doth protest too much about how he was the glue who held this site together, but I honestly thought he and a couple of his cohorts were like that loud, drunk aunt at the wedding who embarasses and annoys everyone, but are basically harmless.

As I was on the site more and more, I noticed that they were simply stirring crap with every member they could. Any, and I do mean ANY, topic was cause for a meeting of the minds with this crew to see how they could agitate. The Yahoo messenger burned alot of bandwidth for them to come up with ways to harass and irritate anyone and everyone, but especially the mods and the people who had been here any length of time. That was their point for being here. Nothing else. It was all about irritating people they felt had wronged them. They would hop on new people after the first post and try to get you to defend them and what wonderful, wronged people they were.

I made the mistake of getting into yahoo with Dave one night when he said he wanted to talk to me about something. He started a multi-chat, pulling in several cohorts whom I had not spoken to on or off the boards. One member activated his webcam on which he, pretty regularly, shows his penis. I was not the first invitee to this little show. Apparently several underage girls who frequented the site had also been invited at one time or another prompting the "why being a pervert pedophile is okay" speech. I believe there were warnings, etc. at that point, to which they took great umbrage. Well, if a 14 year old girl wants to look at a 30-some year old man jerking off, why should HDC care that that's where they were targeted...prudes!! They were pictures of men....err...at the completion stage of....pleasuring themselves being sent around. I declined and logged...fast and left them with the thought that if they sent me a picture of that nature, they had better keep a copy because after what I would do to their testicles, they would need it to remember when their plumbing functioned.

Of course this was followed up with a post on the boards about how much he enjoyed our conversation, then 4 or so p.m.s about how he sincerely hoped I wasn't offended. They are just open minded and a little wierd and like to talk about sex. Since then I haven't been on this site because, frankly, with this bunch of freaks and perverts I figured I would just go gently into that goodnight and say the hell with this place. I mean, between the boards being loaded with them posting the most inane drivel on purpose just to try and ruin the board, what's the use of fighting the uphill battle.

For those that defend Dave and think his posting idiocy is not bannable, think again. How many people who would be good, fun, knowlegeable contributors to this site never even bother to register because a quick trip through the boards is nothing but vapid drivel and constant conversation about why certain people shouldn't get banned? The only reason I made it that far was that it honestly seemed to me that this was not approved of, in general. Do you think that people posting endlessly about how they want to be banned and how they are just assholes, they can't help themselves and they will do it again, is really a good way to attract people you'd ever want to talk to?

In addition, I'm sure I'm not the only one that has been invited to these little parties from here, then harassed here for saying, okay you sick freaks, if you all want to sit around all night and look at each other's schlongs, have a ball, but leave me out of it. I'm pretty sure the mods have a long list. Especially since I didn't even contact the mods.

Censorship sounds very scary and Orwellian and everyone goes into apoplexy about how they are being repressed. What's worse is when you have a small number of people, most who have been banned before (and are exploiting the lack of an ISP block) come back under another name to create trouble and basically kill the board to settle old scores. They were already banned and came right out and said I'm back under another name to cause trouble. Banning is the only possible option.

As for Dave and everyone being against him because he's Korean and can't spell..err...Dave has been in the states his whole life. He graduated from school here and he lives in California. He's just illiterate. I'm sorry, if you can't sing, don't stand up at karaoke and if you can't spell or type coherent sentences, stay off of boards where coherent writing is a prerequisite!!

It took a lot for you to come forward with this, Asylum, and I am truly appreciative of you informing the others about exactly what happened. If its of any consolation you werent the only 1 who was affected by that group. Next time if any of this happens, I urge you and others like you, to come forward and report it to the Mods. In BR and Zwoti we got 2 of the best...not only mods but like older members of the family who will listen to you and will take action. I hope Asylum's post is an eye-opener for all the affected others, and for the Dave & his cohorts supporters too.

We lot here at HDC are a great community, and some of the older members who have left are some of the best informed critics of the horror genre you would find anywhere in the world, much less on the Net. I have come to learn a lot from em and I miss their inputs now.

But still we have a core group which are very informative about anything and everything. Sure we do have our goofy and angry moments, but still we lot have stuck together through shitstorms like this before. Like we have survived this ordeal, we have survived others before this.

I can vouch for the core group and myself, that you wont go through such sickening stuff from any of us. Lets work together in re-building the site all over again, so that when a new horror fan registers, he can expect a lot of positivism from this place, and get it equally too.

Welcome to HDC. And I hope you love your stay here.:)

i just logged on after about a couple of weeks of relative inactivity on this site to find this thread. HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!! absolutely appalling stuff. for the record, dave PMed me about horror, asian in particular, and was incredibly friendly and welcoming from day one and never behaved in an inappropriate manner. but then, i'm not a teenage girl. on dave's HDC friends thread he started recently he refered to me as someone he liked and i don't think i took the time to respond, thankfully. i hope no one, particularlyBR and zwoti, lumps me in with that crowd. i had no idea. i just thought he was a talkative fella with too much time on his hands but...HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!
i think a lot of people will be feeling the same as myself; that someone we were semi friends with has pulled the wool over our eyes. the funny thing is, like chaibill, when i started reading this thread, before i got to asylums post, i was mentally preparing a defense i was gonna post for dave. BR is quite right in what she says about him playing a good game. he had me fooled. finally, good job asylum seeker and the others that were brave enough to come forward. although, i do think the idea of making this a sticky as a warning to others will do more to advertise our beloved site as the haunt of paedos. the mods are doing a great job watching over the place as it is.
