It would be best to dull the points a bit on the specific criticisms for people that are still around, self-imposed exile or not. The issue is more or less settled, and we still have the first guideline concerning respect to deal with. The forum's in a bit of a flux and there are some behaviors to condemn, but just easing up a bit would be good. Hopefully everything will be betterish now.
Regarding the "bad" part of your post Armok, saying that you are going to attack the forum if you were ever banned is very bad. I can't allow such statements to stop me from performing moderation activities. I was prepared to ban you right at that time, but I didn't want to force the issue if it didn't need to be forced. Please choose your words carefully and cautiously. You were very close to being banned, and I'm not going to tolerate that again.
Concerning linking the "new VN" forum, I'm not going to do that. If people can't stop themselves from posting whatever, they can leave. I don't want to be associated with what's going on over there. It's the same reason I removed the link to the new IRC channel, as one of the mods was playing Klan rally the last (and final) time I went in there, and I don't have time to moderate an IRC channel of my own. This place is what it is. The rest of the internet is the various things that it is, and google makes it easy to find stuff.
If you want to do things with your buddies here, you can arrange it via PM. I'm not sure I'm even going to tolerate links to the new VN anymore. I've decide to remove my own VN to remove any association with this new site and to clear out some of the old offensive crap. I'll announce that in advance when I set the time for it in case anybody wants to back something up, but I'm pretty sure it's going to happen.
