I realize by tagging him I risk him banning me too. I don't want that to happen. But someone has to call this guy out on this bullshit. He's banning people left right and center and the only person who thinks its funny is him. He's going to end up wrecking a decades old Internet community, and for what? Is this just a childish power trip that he's on? After all this time did he just go crazy and decide to start abusing his admin powers to ban people for shits and giggles or because they annoy him? Maybe. He always seemed like a fairly chill guy but I don't know him. I think my only direct interaction with him was over 10 years ago when I was stoned and spamming about vampire motorcycle jousting. He PMed me to say stop or he'd ban me. I stopped.
I'd like to give DU more credit than to believe all these bans are just infantile abuse of power. He's kept this place going for a long time and while he doesn't post as much as he used to he's still active daily. After VD stepped down everyone thought the sky was falling. But he just took over and everything kept ticking along. We have him to thank for even still having a Codex to post on.
So with an awareness of that I'd like to think there's some grander plan and agenda behind what's happening. I may not agree with it, but it would at least be something I could engage with and make a decision about. But in the absence of any acknowledgement from admins that anything is even happening here all we can do is make wild speculations.
Codex is dying, that's what's happening.
A place like the Codex, where users can freely speak their mind, criticise fags, trannies, kikes, joggers or even sell-out devs has no place in current year internet. And instead of fighting for the place, DU surrounded himself with brainwashed, delusional faggots who stare jealously on sites like retardera where all the devs post, lol. They got rid of
JarlFrank, undoubtedly one of the more prestigious posters here, and somehow
Infinitron even managed to shut
Saint_Proverbius down, who posted more interesting news over a couple of weeks than Infinitron has in all the time since I started lurking the place...
