"Intellectual Property" - the funniest term to have ever been invented by Lawyers to squeeze money out of the bloodless stone. |
||||||||
|

more like customers than stock holders |

Marlowe: Elitism, tempting as it seems, is a choice of the moribund. By its very nature, it restricts growth and expansion, to the extent that it brings about its own demise. It's good while it lasts, but the crash hurts. |

OK, but customers have rights in the marketplace - does it extend to the Intellectual Property of the Xltronic Forum? After all, every business knows that it's nothing without its customers. |

I know, John - my tongue was in my chéék when I made that suggestion :] |

No, its a donation. |

Customers have rights, but no right to control the company. They get to vote with their feet. If people don't like it here, go somewhere else. The proprietor chooses how to run the company.......... he might run it well (in your opinion) or he might run it poorly (again, in your opinion)..... the market will decide. |

True, maybe not overt control but if a company isn't satisfying its clientèle and is forced to make changes, then the customers (or former customers!) have exercised control over policy. Also, I've noticed quite a few members saying this board is dying, so maybe you're saying that reflects on the site's owner and moderators? |

Insofar as the intellectual property comment, this is something he has come up with. It belongs to him and those that helped code and develop it. Its something that he did to help further the community, but its also his site. If he wanted to close it down today he not under any kind of obligation to answer to anyone for it. This is just the nature of the internet. |

Ezkerraldean never seemed so bad to me, so it's sad to see him go.... But I'm glad as hell The_Shark isn't going to be fucking up every thread that's posted here anymore. For Future Trolls: If you're going to be a troll, at least be a FUNNY one, please (see example- w M w). All these trolls (save Ezkerraldean) were basically posting worthless crap everywhere. |

In most jurisdictions, each individual's utterances here would belong to them and them alone, unless they had signed over (or clicked Agree, though that is very questionable...) said rights to the owner of the medium (in this case, the medium is the message-board). Most copyright systems allow for innate ownership. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

No-one's arguing against it being his site and that he has the tools to close the place down. |

Thats right...... some long term members have left and many people are decrying the state the board is in. I for one don't think it's much different, and I think things will continue on as they have. What this board needs is SAW III, a new AE double album (one "Incunubula II" and one "fucked-up beats '07) and BOC to split up and release solo LP's. |

Dan was one of the most incisively witty posters here - part of a long great tradition of British wits who are generally poorly received by less intellectually endowed peoples. |

wedding dj. we only do weddings and we do them well ! |

Aengus, as usual, was just too far into left-field to be appreciated. Dan was amazing, and his banning leaves precious little wit on this board. |

Forgot to say that dog_belch was the best thing about XLT. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but he's not banned either is he? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dan was a giant of a man |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is. The dream lives on. But the_shark, dog_belch and gay_dad are all banned, as far as I know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
his profile exists at least, so he's not b8'ed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What the hell? Is Dan gone? or just for a week.. If he's gone, there goes xlt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He's been master b8ed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
b9? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I think it's pretty safe I'll only read XLT rarely in future, if at all, after this. |
||||||||
|

*pretty safe to say ... |

Yes. But you were arguing that it was wrong for him to ban these people. I said its his site, and that he has a right to choose who can and cannot post on it. You were saying that we as customers deserve the right not to be banned. I was saying no. Even if you do pay the $10, it doesn't entitle you to stink the place up. That said, a lot of those people who seemed to have been banned weren't that bad. |
||||||||
|

I've forgotten what I said - I'm sure it was a question rather than a statement though. |
||||||||
|

do you know what for? |

For being a Caustic Window, i imagine :] |

Of course Phobia's well within his rights to ban any and everyone on this board. Whether it will gain him any popularity from the rest of the members is another matter. A board's only as good as its members, and I think a lot of thought needs to go into a perm ban. In my estimation 'annoyance' is not grounds for a ban of any sort. Trolling is. |

I keep misreading this thread title as MR BANS and picturing a small dog like a Yorkie with mod privileges. Ooooo, who's a cute little moderator? Yes you are, yes you are, Mr. Bans! |

just when i was going to remove xlt from my bookmarks forever... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so fucking dramatic, i could puke. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

phobs isnt around this messageboard enough to know what members are actually essential. essential is the only word i can think of. dog_belch and redrum were essential, regardless of how they acted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dog belch isnt baned is he? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what a bunch of crap. an old depraved man hiding away in chile and a childish irishman is the last thing we need. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed. If we want to maintain the agressive and bitter atmosphere that has been here lately, that is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Thank you, Phobiazero. I think I will feel safer posting here about electronic music now. There were a lot of mean people here that talked bad to me and posted nasty pictures that are not good for kids to see. Thanks! |
||||||||

In keeping with the topic, I just banned gazman. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ceri, remember the purple pants generator ? :P oh those were the days of days... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
perhaps this will give other members a chance to become essential. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't remember the generator, no? That picture and the track of the same name (soon to be available on We are Not People, allegedly), however, I do recall. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you're a dupe aswell? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I say ban mourinho mourinho hahahahahhaha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes and YES! I was getting so sick of this place, but since no-one was actually doing anything wrong I didn't feel that justified in banning anyone. After a while I didn't see the point in coming, just to get pissed off. |
