Topic: WTF?!?!?! Posted: 12-Aug-2004 at 12:38 |
Ok I go on a leave so I can enjoy the real world and I find my internet world is turned upside down! From what I've read proboards closed down AE Forums because of the non-english forum, is that right?
Was there no warning? Does anyone know what exactly went on?
On a side note I'm quite glad AE Forums is back. (Even though I wasn't here for its demise.) On a plus note, for all of us newbies that joined in late we know have a level playing field for the uber-posters like Ihsan.

NO warning at all, I contacted the proboards people and they simply told me "it was in the TOS of proboards, they should have read it." They're morons.

I remember at the old AE, I had once reached the second spot . I thought of challenging Ihsan's position, but gave up soon.

That's where I ran into trouble. None of my replies was ever good enough to be posted so I just wouldn't. That will all change now though, you will hear ever dumb thing that comes into my warped mind. (Nah, j/k)

I think the main reason why public forum hosts cannot allow non-english
is because they cannot regulate the content on it. So they wouldn't be
able to read it if illegal material is posted.

Then let them learn foreign langauges.
Off course they don't have to learn all the languages off the world,
but they surely can find people who speak French, German, Spanish,
Chinese, Russian and other important languages

So Janissary hasn't registered yet? That's not good. Someone needs to contact him and let him know of the new AE.
