Hope this helps

Re: .com just gone down?

So from what I can guess (and this is a guess), Ash G has taken over .com, posting a rather late security article on the front page, Frank has been suspended and had all his news + forum rights removed, Mick has quit and gone back to being Minder and NTL have been threatening KingPhoenix about the content of Frank's blog!
Meanwhile on this site, our membership has increased at nearly the rate of our opening day...

Re: .com just gone down?

Now people over there are asking if Nizza will be back.

Does this mean that all the admins are resigning?

Frank is suspended. Mick has left. Craig is suspended. If Neil and Ben leave then there is a slight problem over there esp if they don't think about it first.

Just to put this into context here.

Mick has left and gone back to his original posting name of Minder.

One person is asking if this is likely to see the return of Nizza in a reply to Micks comments applauding him for supporting Frank and that was myself.

As for Ben leaving well I am in no position to comment on that as he has not posted.

Craigs suspension happened a long time before the current events surfaced so lets not go jumping the gun here.

Other than to say at this current time it appears to be a bit of free for all over at .com as there are no mods on board at present.

Re: .com just gone down?

Will there ever be a mod on the board again?

Will my account ever get authorised?

Am I stuck in validating mode forever?

What will happen to the site if all the mods leave?

Well I would say at present no.

Frank has to be in bed by a certain time according to NTL.

There are currently no Mods on there at present and hopefully they are considering their options.

Now that leaves the authorisation down to that ****wit Ash G who has successfully destroyed the site and Frank career within NTL.

So dont hold your hopes out of getting your membership there authorised.

Sorry to appear blunt but I am guessing thats the way it is.

Re: .com just gone down?

I guesed as much but I don't think that Ash G has admin CP access as he is just a normal user like everyone else.

Surely it will mess things up a lot if no-one has access to the CP as they will then have to wipe the site and start afresh or just give up and do something with community

He will have, nobody else would have banned Frank.
I remember seeing part of the email on Frank's blog that quoted AshG as saying "I would like the passwords for the site".

Re: .com just gone down?

Well after all the speculation earlier today, this really could be the writing on the wall for .com. Certainly someones gonna have to get a grip fast if they arent to be left without any admins / mods. Ntl can't have an unmoderated site in their control, far too much of a liability. Community anyone?
