i don't want to take part in the flamewar between pro-titsworth and against titworth on this topic, and didn't read the big 200+ thread about this, but i liked him, he was an important figure of this messageboard, so yes i support him!!

i dunno - if he were a mod i think that a lot of people would be banned for doing things much less serious than he got banned for - which is causing such a ruckus here

I don't mind Titsworth. I hardly converse with him at all but he usually knows what he's talking about. This thread however, rates a 9.8 on the pointless meter.

" but what exactly was the crime? That's what I want to know... yes, Phob is the guy who runs this site, not a God by the way, and he can ban people as he pleases... but, if he doesn't give everyone reasons, then it becomes like a dictatorship and people may start leaving... "
> i agree with you... though i don't think it will matter a lot -:- first, there are always hundreds of registered people here, and they will always be hundreds who stay even if a dozen left... and most of the members here love Phobiazero... second (or third), i don't think Phob would care at all if people left because of this attitude (admit it, he already said things like this - if you don't like our attitude, don't criticize us, you don't have your word to say - just leave!)

yeah, like funkmaster said, I just don’t like the idea of people being banned without them being told why… and really, it’d be nice if the circumstances were discussed in the open. it ruins the feeling of community on a board when people are silenced for reasons unknown. of course, we’re not even 100% sure that titties did get banned.
hell, I don’t even know him, and he did piss me off with his self righteousness sometimes. phob can ban whoever he feels like banning for whatever reason he wants. the board definitely isn’t a democracy, and isn’t meant to be one but, if the goal is to create a feeling of community, then I think things should be open. how are other members supposed to know what is acceptable behavior if the reasons for a ban are hidden.
titsworth's banning in specific doesn't really affect me at all. i never really talked with the guy either, it just sends out a wierd secrecy vibe that tends to sour a board.
that’s just my $0.02, and we are running on an assumption right now.

thanks man - i dont see what all the fuss about this is though - things happen - its an internet messageboard - its not like he got deported from his country or anything
(yes i know the irony of this post because of when i got temp banned and got someone to start a thread about it - and im fully willing to admit that was a bit foolish - as it did no help.)

yeah, sure, Phobia can ban who he likes. but he can also make mistakes - not every reason he has is automatically a good one.

In the end it's up to the webman himself, but I think Tits at least deserves an explanation, and he hasn't gotten one, and he hasn't hasn't done anything so bad that he had to be singled out. But it ain't up to me, it's not my board and it's not a democracy. But from what I know, I'm not a fan of this decision.
Without him, the board lacks a LOT though and it'll be less interesting. Sucks for us. Good for the few people that hate him I guess.

we have all talked about titsworth these days without him being here... its fair that I post his thoughts on this matter:
_________________________________ "thanks to those of you showing support, it means a lot to me. the petition
was really sweet too but unfortunately i don't think it will do any good.
like the moderators and webmasters, i still don't know why i'm banned and it
may be a long time before i'm given an explanation. i also want to say how
disappointed i am in many of you, and in a way i'm grateful this happened
because it really shows me who my true friends are on this board. some of
you i expected more understanding and compassion from as i've never been
anything but nice to you. even when i'm saying someone is misinformed, and
i've said this to most of my favorite people on this board, i try to do it
as nicely and respectfully as possible, and only when i'm confident that i
am correct (when i'm not, i don't act like i am). when my tone is less
polite than that it's usually because i've been pushed. so before all my
posts start to miraculously disappear you might want to reexamine the ones
that got you mad because really i don't mean anyone harm so long as i'm not
in a position where i have to defend myself against senseless personal
attacks (of the likes that have been piling up in recent months). for those
who have realized that, and for those who have reserved judgment for when
this incident is actually EXPLAINED, i thank you." __________________________________
I wanted to share his words here... I think he deserves it

Here is part of an email I got from a friend (who isn't registered here, but checks the board from time to time):
Tried to look at: http://xltronic.com/mb/
Get blank screen, with: "Sorry, in consequence of your previous behaviour, you are unable to post to
this messageboard"
A bit harsh, as I'm not registered there, and never have been. So, they
don't like lurkers, eh? Only kidding! :-)
It doesn't matter in the least to me, but I thought you might like to know,
in case there's some error, and some of your regulars are getting this
screen! Maybe an attempt to ban someone, but the wrong number used. I'm on
Freeserve, don't know what IP I'd show up as. Probably varies from session
to session. Like I said, no need to sort it out for - only highlighting it
in case it's a mistake that might affect others.
Has anyone considered the possibility that perhaps Titsworth is suffering as the result of a similair "technical hitch" and not actually banned? Either way, it's probably best to wait for Phobs to get back and hopefully at least confirm that he is meant to be banned, even if he doesn't want to give the reason(s) why.
