Good to see Shambo back in the saddle weilding a massive mod rod, just like the good ol' days...
Probably Shambles eh, the tyrant. Left Cymru all loved up n mellow, now after a decade with the bagpiping barbarians North of the Wall shit's changed.Who's guilty of moving my Guy Fawkes thread and then deleted it?
I progressed from dosing a few ml every evening every three hours to a few ml every hourOOOh I loved GBL so much, even though my sessions got rowdy, even home alone, I was able to limit use to once a fortnight-ish kind of rate.
It must have been all the tales of horrific w/ds that made me so cautious with how often I would use it.

It was just a few months to being unable to walk down the street in public unless I'd had a dose
this was sub-optimal. During the rather fucking bad withdrawals over the week I quit I also had the chorus from "Oh! You Pretty Things" by Bowie stuck on loop in my brain
then I left Nottingham and haven't touched GBL since
I was drawn into that thread, so I'm definitely guilty in part. Certainly didn't witness or participate in pro-terrorism rhetoric unless you count a reference to a sixty-something year old song about fighting rogue British auxiliary forces forty years or so prior, plus an Alan Partidge skit that clearly took the piss out of it.For the record…
A Guy Fawkes thread was posted by @Zopiclone bandit. Perfectly legit and obviously no problem. However…
Said thread rapidly devolved into political mudslinging, suggestion to self-delete (and take the family out too) and (arguably) pro-terrorism.
Funnily enough this is not allowed. Most specifically the “kill yourself” posting is very strictly prohibited.
As such, I took the mod decision to nuke the entire thread. It could be argued this was the more lenient response versus going in with a big stick handing out warnings and/or infractions.
It could also be argued - certainly by me - that I could have handled the situation better by directly contacting individual members informing them of why their posts were unacceptable.
However, we’re all veterans of BL standards and should probably know better so I opted for the quick and merciful release of nuclear annihilation.
If anyone has a problem with the decision feel free to contact senior staff. My stick is rusty and things are done differently now compared to a decade ago. Onwards and upwards, folks
Oh, and Guy Fawkes did nothing wrong![]()
I admit that the thread got vitriolic, but I don't recall anything in favour of terrorism.

For the record, I don't support any continuation of armed struggle in that particular conflict, and it's for the Irish people to work out, not me.

one man's terrorist is another man's freedom-fighter. Or summat
me, well... I'm an errorist
Maybe I’m a little sensitive due to living in a highly sectarian area - we still get regular Orange Marches here - so Black & Tans is still considered to be… provocative. Think it’s actually banned at local football matches. Dunno, I’m not into sportsball, but that was my thinking on that one.
Do I personally find it offensive? Not in the least. But I’m well aware that as an English my opinion is irrelevant - and rightly so. I am aware of sensitivities around these matters though so erred on the side of caution. My personal feelings probably align much closer with yours… and I agree violence is not the answer.
All that aside, the thread was still a shitshow and, as noted, the murder/suicide aspect was what really made the nuclear option the best one imo.
As I say, I’m still relearning the new BL and EADD situation. Things are just different now we’re owned by and based in Australia. Rules are just stricter like it or not![]()
Nope, just this website, I use Opera.I'm not having any issues like that. Is the laptop browser wiping your profile, cookies, stored pswds etc for all websites?
I think browsers like Brave do that by default, so you have to change the settings if you want it to save anything.
