Operation: Ostrich is in full effect. Don't expect any more answers to be forthcoming at this point (as if the complete lack of responses for the last 20 pages or so wasn't a hint). I guess the choice is suck it and up and see what happens, or get out.
Some of you on here may remember a few years ago when FA was hacked by someone on LULZ and all of the private messages ("NOTES") were downloaded and then dumped to the public.
Well right around that time, Dragoneer, himself, and the entire admin staff (At the time.. they might be the same folks today? I don't know), went around and mass ban-hammered anyone and everyone that mentioned or discussed it in public.
Anyone that made a journal or forum thread about it got banned, sent a warning message, and their post(s) deleted.
In fact, they all did such a very good job of "brushing it under the rug" that almost all folks new to the site within the past 2 years, don't even know it ever happened.
I'm not "enciting drama" with this post, I'm just telling the public about facts that happened in the past.
The information about this is out there, it's on the Encyclopedia Dramatica page, and folks can search for "FA Leaks" in google, there's an entire website set up with a search engine and still archives all the notes.
So yes, I'll probably get banned and this post deleted but I'm just stating facts that happened in the past.
Since they did such a great job at hiding the last event... I would imagine that fairly soon this entire forum thread will end up locked, and then deleted, and all information and questions and concerns in here will magically "disappear" and the site will continue business as usual as if none of this ever happened.
