I was actually banned for a few minutes. I wonder which set of itchy fingers pushed the button "by accident". Or was it a technical error? Hmm But by and large, the moderators, such as d4pm, Ender_Sai (you know, Sai means shit in Chinese. I wonder if there's a coincidence), are known to be...

Re: New VIP Rules at TFN

Anyone see this embarassing mess? +http://boards.theforce.net/literature/b10003/23901745/p2/?34 Amazingly, posters I don't recognize ever having been a part of any discussion about Traviss are labeled as part of the anti-Traviss "jihad" when they criticize this move! It is growing ridicul...

Since when have SW games been even remotely canon anyway? Since always. Game mechanics may not be canon, but the storylines are C-canon. And as a heretofor unheard of criminal lord rises to galactic power and dominace in the ESB/RotJ period in Forces of Corruption , that blatantly contradicts just ...

Are Breen ships detectable by tachyon nets? It's odd that Starfleet didn't erect large scale tachyon nets to detect cloaked ships.

I have yet to see any explanation as to why that would be a bad idea for a game. I just hate the NJO and by extension the Vong. :D You think lucasarts could oversee the making of videogame with the vong when they couldn't do it with the books? Actually, at least the NJO era has some potential good ...

Yeah, I wish the mods would realize that Traviss's behavior is an anomaly. All of the VIPs have recieved their share of criticism, whether directly or not, and they all take it in stride and continue posting. They might even get irritated, like Stover does, but at least they face their critics head...

StarFleet Command was bombed! Most of the Earth defenses were smashed. It doesn't get worse then that (unless Earth was occupied.) :wtf: How the hell does that move the war to something akin to a state of Nuclear exchange? There is no indication Earth was seriously damaged, just the area around Sta...

Hey 000, Yeah, I got really pissed by Sapient's post. By what he said, he effectively declared a lot of threads as out of bounds. Heck, we can't even grumble about author inconsistencies in our Fleet Junkie Thread. Traviss' behaviour was unbecoming as I witnessed in some of the links given in the Od...

I've read a comic where dudes where exploring new hyperspace routes with a manned ship, using extensive sensors and lots of luck/risk. I wonder how much control they can exert over the speeds of their hyperdrive engines. If there's only one speed mode I would imagine them dropping in and out every ...

They just banned Dan-K for "pushing his agenda". They what?! Then again, I shouldn't be surprised. Many recent events have shown just how corrupt the TFN mods are. Someone has to remind the TFN mods that there's such a thing as "benefit of the doubt" and preemptive banning stifl...

I'm not sure if it's polite to point fingers, but the mod who banned Dan-K does not strike me as a unbiased mod in many debates.

I personally regarded this muzzling outrageous and hypocritical as Traviss herself has shown to be a troll herself in some forums. I have no idea how and what possessed the TFN forums to bow to her wishes. It won't matter. Many debates in TFN are not worth indulging, especially when the Mods practic...
