Hello everybody,
I want to give you an explanation about what happened to the forums and why
they are offline.
As many of you already know, in my absence, moderator Dan went loco and
banned all other mods and a lot of other people from the forums. He then
also removed every single post on the entire board, everything is gone.
I did not have a backup of the forum, and thus most of the information it
contained was gone, but one member (zear) managed to make a backup of
whatever Dan didn't remove yet at that time. Harteex has put the backup
online at http://www.harteex.com/hosted/a320.freeforums.org/
Shortly after the incident I was offered to help out at this new board
which would pop up during the weekend. Of course this seemed very
suspicious to me, that people had everything in place to take over duties
at some other board. After the admin of the new site contacted me again,
urging me to get in touch, I started to see a coop, mutiny, all things bad
happen all at once. I lost it a bit, banned the poor chap from
a320.freeforums.org, and removed another post he made with another member's
account.
I did this after It got clear that it was impossible to get a backup of the
forums and I was pretty upset to say the least, in this mindset I made
certain decisions I now regret. In retrospect I made an ass of myself and I
treated people with good intentions with disrespect, I hereby want offer my
honest apologies to anyone affected, not in the least to omgmog, who got
most of it.
When I started this freeforum board about 5 to 6 months ago, I never
imagined it would become such a success. I never hoped it would get the
attention of so many good, honest and hardworking people. You've all been
great and you've all done very well in making these couple of months a
great and fun time to be an A-320 owner, fan , even lover maybe.
I have to say, at this point in time, the only things that remains for me
is the bitter taste of failure. I failed to keep all this hard work safe
from this idiot which was assigned a moderator function by me. So of course
in part I feel very responsible for what happened and I don't want to go on
with it. I decided to call it quits, shut down this freeforums site and ask
everybody to move on to some new pastures.
Certain people in the Dingoo scene have been hard at work in the last few
days to set up a new website at http://dingoonity.org/ I urge you to check
it out, you'll see it's worth it, not only does it have a board which has a
recognizable lay-out, it's also got a news section, a blog and a wiki. If
you just want to get started at the new board straight away, you can find
it here: http://boards.dingoonity.org/
I've been offered to help out there, but I refused, I don't feel It would
do any good to have me helping out there after letting so many of you down
here. I've signed up at the new board and may be posting there, but that's
it. The people who run the show there are more than capable, will keep
backups of all your hard work and you'll know them already from this place.
Thank you for the fun times.
Sorry for the worst times.
Please keep the Dingoo community alive.
it's up to all of you!
