It been quite a few years that I have been a board member here at
Xltronic, and for quite a lot of that time I have enjoyed myself very much.
From the days I'd incite fun and laughter with the likes of Amonbrune
and Pachi, the lightsaber avatars that quite a lot of us had, to the
more recent times where I was made moderator....all of which those have
now come to an end.
When I first came to Xltronic, I knew next to nothing about
electronica, but my good friend CeriJC encouraged me to post here despite the
fact, because he said it was generally a great place. Over time and with
the help of many other board members I eventually got myself into the
music. I guess in many ways it was kind of dumb at the time, but creating
a topic entitled something like "Am I the only one that hates IDM"
didnt really do me any favours from the outset, but alas it was a quirk of
the online personality that I would post with. What I really, really do
not understand is, the sheer hatred that is found in certain board
members, and they know who they are. Some have a lot of history here very
much like myself, others are relatively new, but even though I perhaps
tended to incite flaming upon occassion, the fact that individuals could
be so nasty is beyond my comprehension. I don't even know these people
in real life!! This is just a messageboard!! There is more to life
than that, and this is one of the reasons that coming to Xltronic in the
past months has not been the enjoyable experience it once was. It's
being trashed by the trolls and spammers. Sure I did my fair share, but now
I fear things are out of control. But think about it, I can come up
with a list at least a dozen long of people how have been driven away from
this place because of the shit, and I'm sure one of two of you can
think of more than that!

Some of you are probably wondering what has happened in the past few
days, with this so called 'banfest'....well allow me to shed some light
on the matter. I haven't through one reason or another been coming here
so often, and spent a bit of time here at the end of last week. To cut
a long story short, it seems that there are/were a few board members
that enjoy every opportunity to try and insult me, challenge my authority
as a moderator and generally act like twats when I am around, and to be
absolutely honest, I just thought to myself "What is the point of any
of this crap, don't these people give up?" and I'll let you into a
secret: Why did I do it? It bothered me slighty and I did it on a whim,
because I felt like it! And I'm also not sorry for it either. I glanced
down the list of online users, and went "ban ban ban..." and so on, and
also did one or two others as well. Tridenti, Epohs both of which sadly
got in the way with their spamming or insults, and I have since heard
from and/or spoken to, and I have no hard feelings over them, were. Also,
I have explained to Woofer that it was me that closed all of his
topics, and I have given him my reasons for which he accepts.
It hasn't all been bad, I have made some great friends here also who I
have had the pleasure of meeting up with in real life, such as Yves
(eXXailon) and Jon (The Funkmaster), both without this place I would
never have met, and will not despite this, forget that.
Just a few thanks before I finish:
Yves (eXXailon), thank you more than anyone here for getting me into
electronica, it meant an aweful lot to me, and we'll continue to speak on
MSN and I look forward to seeing you in the summer.
Jon (The Funkmaster), well I guess you won't see this as you too were
driven from here also, but I always enjoyed the banter between us both
here and the way in which you from time to time stuck up for me among
the trolls. One day I'll get to see you in Newfoundland!! ;)

Nacmat, I am so glad we had our chat yesterday. I owed you the
truth....you may not be totally impressed with what I did, but the fact that we
will remain friends means a lot to me - see you on MSN! You've been a
great friend to me and perhaps one day we will also meet in real life!
Woofer, keep an eye on the trolls for me and report them to the
moderators. Keep up the good work with the polls, and dont let the rabble get
to you!
Ophecks, you are nuts, crazy and insane, and for this you have become
one of the most entertaining personalities on the board. Good luck to
you in the future.
Phobiazero, thanks - thanks for creating this wonderful place. I know
it has not turned out the way you would have wanted it to, ie. with my
misuse of moderation powers, but I thank you for the opportunity
regardless. I just hope you can control the element that are slowly destroying
the messageboard, and perhaps get it back to the community it once was.
Last but by no means least, Ceri. Thank you my good friend, it's been a
blast! ;) See you soon!
I've probably missed a few names out, so I apologise in advance to all
the other many friends I made here and if anyone wants to email me, I'm
sure Ceri or Nacho will pass on my email address, and as to the rest,
well I really couldnt care actually what you think. Besides, like I keep
saying, there is more to life...
Enjoy the summer people....take care!
Jedi Chris

fair statement, summary over what happened, but is it really objective ? even now he calls some ppl twats, and im not sure if im not on the list of these, ive had my bans aswell. within this kind of speech you shouldnt name anyone in this way, this is what i think of it.
well, seems that old chap chris took some things to serious.shame.but what can we do, wish you teh best.

It's because of comments like that, that this place is going downhill fast.
Who are you to call him a whining little faggot, or a facist? He's been here a long time, and taken a lot of shit, most especially for not being a huge fan of electronic music, but since when does that make him any of those things you call him? Freedom of Speech my arse - it seems to be that if people don't conform, then they get flamed and that, quite frankly, isn't fair.

well if he never came around often anyway, i doubt it will impact the board much, but i never had a problem with him, just though he was kind of confrontational with some members for no reason - we all give each other shit here, there are no exceptions. you just give it right back - you dont have to go on a ban spree, or threaten the ban at every whim.

fact, but remember that ppl got banned for this "freedom of speech" aswell, which should not happe
it all started when jedi became a mod anyway, so the history is a little bit longer that the one described above.

Phobiazero didn't tell him to fuck off at all, so go back to thinking of insults to throw at nice people.

Jedi Chris happens to be a very good friend of mine, who introduced me to this board, but, as you might have noticed - I don't come here often because people like you put people like me off.
It's not big and it's not clever to start insulting people before you even give them a chance. If you want a game of insults then bring it on, but until you know me, SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH!

he has left...
I beg you all please to respect him now
he made mistakes which he has recognized... he has been very honest and that is very hard to do... he has showed us all again that he is a nice man...
but I know some of you dislike him a lot... ok... but think of this, he has finally left
now please.. respect him... and dont start fires when its all over
and also think of this: every story has two sides for the truth.
and you might not now many things jedi had to go through in this place, which could make you understand his actions better
again, he has given us some clues of what happened, and also he has been very honest about his attitude as a moderator in the last days
please let him just go in peace... no need to keep a fight that is now over
good luck jedi your last post in this forum (via ceri) shows (once again) that you are nice person.
only a nice person can speak with such brital honesty

its the same way with people who drive cars - everyone is a fucking tough guy behind their machine

that and talking about autechre and what it would be like to hold richard d james' testicles in my hand is old, was old, and will only get worse

phob probably chose him cause he knew him from the days where he (phob) was here more often. it is a matter of character to be able to deal with specific power, that holds for any community. the 'banfest' he described is a very childish thing. and i still dont see the wrong in ephos post. gladly, he left so i shut up.

When he accepted Joyrex's bag of silver that Judas said goodbye to ever, ever being a Mod here. Phobo said "I'd make dog_belch a mod before I'd ever even think about modding Nacmat" And lo', it came to pass. And there was wailing and gnashing of teeth. And strange omens were seen. And a man called Jedy smote the holy city with a flaming sword. Then, he vanished. And there was peace, in the valley.
