No error for me, but earlier this morning I was still able to access the site. Now it appears the ban hammer has been swung!

Upon closer inspection, I was banned as well. I just couldn't see the text due to the stupid momo banner.

Eeeeesh..VV looks like a homely female attorney from 1980 there...or a terribly aged Janet from Three’s Company mixed with a little senior citizen Pat Benetar/Joan Jett.

I think it needs a splash of Chrissie Hynde (who I really dig btw) to complete the mix.

I got it too.
you have to click these file uploads - is there a "thumbnail" or "full size photo" selection I am missing in the file upload section?
Does anyone know if we will get the direct photo copy and paste function?

Me too, finally.
I did see that TMC could still post replies 40 minutes ago or so. Not many left!

The best revenge is to move on and show how little their little betrayal actually affected the community at large. Why care about who are still members there or the admin of the new board? It's no longer our home.
Actually, destroying their reputation, using up their time and money, and hurting their chances of getting new users or additional funding are much more effective. They don’t give a hoot if we have moved on or not. They do care if their scam business goes under.
Exactly my point. My time is too valuable to me to worry about if I hurt those guys or not. I'd rather just say that they can eat a whole burlap sack full of grimy dicks and let it go at that. As the Chinese say:

The way I see it, every victim who stays silent and everyone who encourages them to do so, plays an important role in making the next victim possible.

I agree with everyone.
But really I have thought to myself "I wonder if these guys are learning and we were lucky to be so early on their list."
1. Before you destroy "aknittingforum.com" also buy the .net, .tv, .dot. .everything. *.*
2. Pet them a little before you whip it out. (I don't think that would have worked so much here, but they might target weaker groups.)
3. Shut down posting and messaging on previous site immediately.
4. If I were them and vengeful, I know Patrick wouldn't sell our butts, but we are hosted by someone and if I (them) had deep pockets I would buy our host. Revenge is a long game.

stuff like that.

And another side note, I would be SHOCKED if some of them are not here with login or as guest, it's not like they don't know where we went.

"Them" appears to be 4-5 people, and they appear to be busy trying to clean up two messes, so I doubt they are spending much time here other than to check in and see that we have 2,565 new posts and they have 1, not counting the stuff they need to delete!

I have no idea why they haven't shut the old site down yet. It has nothing new other than messages attacking them and telling people to come here.

Ahhhh, yep. That's when AGF was running like garbage and Minor Tom introduced a new :hot shot troubleshooter". I forget what his name was. Something weird, and I remember at the time that the whole thing had a weird vibe. I even wondered if minor tom's account had been hacked and the "hotshot troubleshooter" was the hacker.

In a way I guess that is kind of how it went. Not 100%, but sort of, sideways.

Hey man, we knew it was probable but that sucks and I'm sorry.
You were looking for a job when you found that one.
