I talked also with both @Jay and @Ricard and convened with both of them that it was a really unfortunate decision to delete a lot of my recent posts from the board. It's one thing to have had enough for whatever reason and quit posting, but another one entirely to actively spend time in doing something that, I realized too late, looked like a punishment to the whole community. I say this because regardless of the quality of my posts (I never thought they were particularly brilliant) a lot of you were sincerely interested in what I wrote and always showed a lot of appreciation, especially for the stuff related to my website The Legacy of John Williams, and always interacted with me in a very nice way. So it's unfortunate that because of a few bad apples I had trouble with, everyone had to pay a price. In recent times, I've become easily irritable about some of the behaviour on the board and lamented a lot how this place wasn't fun like it used to be and how some people ruined it for everyone.

 

That's why I want to offer my apology to all of you for doing such a silly thing like deleting so much of my posts of the last few years.

Fortunately I noticed this shortly after you started deleting them and I went back and screenshotted every post of yours you hadn't yet deleted from last week through to mid June 2022 (all before this date should be on the wayback machine)

 

If you'd like the restore the posts as they were I'd be happy to send you the screenshots I took. 

 

Cheers, and welcome back to the forum!!

Yeah, I learned a long time ago—as part of another fandom—that mutual appreciation for something doesn't always translate into friendship, and that personalities will clash.

 

In that situation, the best thing you can do, if you can't hash it out through civil discourse, is to put the offending member(s) on 'ignore.'

 

But I'm glad that civil discourse has won the day this time.

Tempers got frayed, things were said. Tears were shed. Everyone grew and learned something about themselves, and the world.

 

 

[Nick1Ø66 8,119]

Such is the way of things.

It isn't. I really only post here for Drax. I don't really know anyone else. Recognizable posters are never around. Who knows if they're even still alive. Most of the members don't even post on the main board anymore, they're sequestered in their own private group therapy sessions where they complain anonymously about the moderation and probably Drax and I, although we barely even matter.

I wish he were... still aliiiive.

Nice to hear that Maurizio, your posts have always been an interesting part of this community. It would be sad to lose you as a contributing member.

As someone who over the last few years become more integrated in comic books and its fandom, I totally agree with this. If you saw some of the things I've seen...

@Farewell and Adieu comes back to us now... at the turn of the tide.

We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
We don't laugh anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don't talk anymore
Like we used to do

This was a decision took in haste and with a lot of anger after some unpleasant exchanges I had with a board member who notoriously spearheaded a sort of crusade against me for some time. I finally confronted him outside the board and we settled things among ourselves once and for all, so for me that is case closed.

 

He's dead now?

[Naïve Old Fart 12,881]

@Farewell and Adieu, is there any way to restore what was deleted?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,173]

There's really no point in retaining about 97% of posts on a banter heavy board like this.

 

Nothing substantial was lost i'm sure. Just old words.

 

Bummer for Maurizio's post count though...

[Xander Harris 9,546]

We are simply passing through history. This...this is history. We must have these missing posts back.

What if we changed the forum's name to "The Drax & Justin Show"? "The Adventures of Drax and Justin"?

[Xander Harris 9,546]

We're all that matter

I reverted your display name, Maurizio. 

 

Warmest Regards.

Welcome back Maurizio. 

 

Looking forward to your next podcast.

 

Its been a while.

 

 

[bollemanneke 4,321]

Welcome back. A great relief to see someone like you join the forum again. And don't worry, of course you are under pressure, you must know a million things that you can't tell us! Looking forward to more amazing podcast episodes.

We all go a little crazy sometimes

I've never been a jerk here more than twice a week. Where is the fun, if we not exultate sometimes? We are not machines!

 

Well except...

Is that not what you and Drax do in your politics group? 🤔

We don't have any such group

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

It does not exist.

[Manakin Skywalker 5,908]

[Xander Harris 9,546]

A Discord chat where we exchange screenshots of Fox News women isn't a politics group 

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

These geeks think everything is political.

[Xander Harris 9,546]

We mainly talk about hair products and leather

[Nick1Ø66 8,119]

Probably best. JWFan+ is all business and politics, that sort of thing. Wouldn't interest you.

 

 

[Xander Harris 9,546]

Oh I'm not brave enough for politics

[Quintus 6,319]

I was mistaken. It turned out the gruesome twosome were everything that was wrong with politics talk on JWFan. The +group is pretty chill even when talking about such things.

[Bespin Copilot 10,731]

You talk about the group called "JWFan Unleashed"? I love it!

 

If Steef would stop to post his awfull homemade cider pictures, it would almost be perfect!
