Edit: FYI to the lurker(but not "lurker") who is reading the forum? If Ed or Hadrian have asked you to read because they can't, you are being used. Ask yourself why they couldn't just explain themselves like they were asked in this thread before it was locked:

It's been a week.
The short story is that certain parties, including Ed and Hadrian, were trying to use the forum for their own agenda.
Our opinion of Ed's cagey comments and evasions about Facebook has been divided. The revelation he had two Facebook accounts put the matter in a different light. Without going into detail, it was the last straw in a pattern of questionable behavior. Behavior that returned with a vengeance after a provocateur bumped the Paula Small thread. Unregistering abruptly instead of answering reasonable questions was also not a good look.
Enter Hadrian, posting under a variety of nyms, bemoaning that users are "destroying the forum" and "driving people off". Since the only person driven off was Ed, this struck us as odd. Last we heard Hadrian was warning us about Ed, and Ed was raging back. Now Hadrian is rooting for Ed after he was "run off"?
IP addresses confirm this. We have to be careful publishing though, because it could be against ProBoards TOU.
The only reason we're outing these two is because they abused their forum access to manipulate readers in to thinking vast hordes were being driven away. IP traffic can confirm this is garbage. As one reader said, traffic has been pretty bland, except for a hiccup here and there with new news(Mic and Mon, Feedbackpdx updates, etc).
It was possible either of them had a good reason to engage in some of this trollish behavior. Maybe to draw someone out for some reason. That's why we waited and gave them a chance to volunteer an explanation, on the forum or by email. Since the parties involved have done neither, we consider it our responsibility to caution readers against what appears to be a private agenda that has nothing to do with stopping or shutting down the manipulative cultish front known as KBOO.
In fact their actions mimic a long historic pattern of KBOO drama confidence games.
You can imagine our disappointment.
IP addresses will be blocked.
We know some readers have contact with these parties. If any party wants to be unblocked, they should email with an explanation and apology. Of course, if they were only here to cause trouble, they shouldn't bother.
