Today I'm irritated. I've been arguing with this elitist asshole on another forum for days now. See, I've been going to this SOAD fan site for years and the forum, I help the guy who runs it by moderating the forum and posting news on the site.
Now, the forum has had problems in the past, likely database issues and the such. Some people have had problems logging in, etc. So, this other member decided to create his own forum. He's this mid-30's know-it-all from Mexico and he's arrogant as fuck. Well, once he had a board he began recruiting members. He was at one point made an admin at the SOAD site and the fucker would send out mass e-mails to all the members of the SOAD board telling them about his!! Then shit got shady.
All of a sudden one day we started getting errors when we tried to post something, but not all the time. It was weird. All of a sudden he's like "I've figured out the error!" It turns out, any post with "CD" in it causes an error. How random is that? But see, then I find out the owner of this website had given this guy access to all the forum/website databases. This dude is a big SQL guy, so he's knows that shit. Well, once this guy "discovered" the error he started badmouthing the board software and hyping up his forum.
Then one day POOF! The domain name was stolen, within an hour this guy sends out a mass e-mail saying the website was "gone," please register at his forum. Then on his forum he starts all this "I'm calling this person" or "I'm trying this" bullshit, but he did nothing at all. He only said he was trying things. Totally making it appear that he was helping, when he wasn't. A new domain was bought, everything was re-uploaded. No problem, but the seeds were planted.
Then last week the board was hacked. Just a simple hack, nothing big, but again, within a few hours this dude sends a mass e-mail telling everyone the board is gone again, register at his forum. WTF? He then starts posting a lot of bullshit. He sent the owner an e-mail last night, he hasn't written back yet, he's a fuck up, pathetic, blah, blah, blah. So I start seeing a trend.
I firmly believe this guy is behind all the problems. I called him out and then the shit hit the fan! Hahaha. Then he's badmouthing me, the site and the owner. The most annoying thing, people believed him. Long time posters at the other site start talking shit about me! Ridiculous. These are people that, you know, you'd classify as e-friends. Some I've know since 1998 and never had issues with them, now they're talking shit? WTF?
It got worse with this guy just making the dumbest lies up, quoting all kinds of technical jargon that no one understands. For example, he claimed the SOAD site gets 500 visits a day, posted this graph that just showed bars, no numbers! Hahaha. But, I have access to that info, too, and the site gets over 10,000 daily visits! But no one would know that, they took HIS word for it. Man, so annoying.
It's like the the guy who kidnaps, rapes and kills someone, then comes and helps search for the missing person. This is what he's done, I'm convinced. Then he's planted his seeds about how bad the SOAD site is, so the sheep back him up. Very annoying considering I know the owner and he's done a lot for the band and the fans and for some asshole to just come along and do what he did, it just pisses me off. You know?
So, I went old, old school this week. Internet arguing. So lame. Hahaha.
