"You know what, you make points about his website, without saying anything about TDC."
The link is posted at the bottom of EVERY post he makes. Post he makes HERE. AT THE DC.
"Yes, people have had problems with us admins before, But pete's a damn good admin who is simply sick of the childish bullshit that goes on around here, much like this post."
That made me laugh. This is childish to you? I think talking about poo is just a little more childish.
"Pete's a great fan of sarcasm and this shows on his site, but only if you're smart enough to know what sarcasm is."
Oh I think I get the joke, I'm going to beat my wife and laugh at fat people! Great sarcasm pete.
"So, in conclusion, enjoy your new password Ashman3205, and if you try to get an admin fired in the future, please back it up with some evidence of him being a crappy admin, not bashing his personal page. And grow up."
In conclusion, You should not delete me for stating all valid points, Oh and if you dont have your glasses with you, I had a whole page of evidence. One last thing. Compare Ashmans Admin behaviour with this? Sorta funny eh? He did practicly nothing and got fired, compared to this.. its a big joke, And me grow up? You changed my password, Half the people agreed with me half didn't, just because you where on the other side you do that?! People cant say anything here with out that happening.
"OMFG!!! NOW WE RAELLY KNOW WHAT PEATE IS LIKE!!! WE MUST SIGN A PETITIONS AND OVERTHROW TEH EVIL DISCTATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111
BTU ITS NICE THAT HE LINKS TO A WEBSITE THAT WAERNS US ABOUT TEH CONTENTS OF HIS WEBSITE!! INSTEAD OF LINKING DIRECtLY TO A GAY PORNO WEBSITE LIKE YOU!!! NOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OLOLOLOLOLPWNED"
I believe all members, including admins, should adhere (I know I spelt that wrong, I just know it!) to the rules.
To protect my account, i'm not gonna go bash admins without reasons, and i'm too lazy to dig up fresh reasons why anyone should be banned.
I think that Pete Nattress should post a warning describing the content of the site, so the squeamish know to turn away.
If enough people have a problem with Pete Nattress's website, he will be removed of his admin status. TDC, like all online communities, aren't built of code and admins. They're made of people. If the people reject Nattress, we will be removed.
-ThO's 2 cents (I should've saved them for MMF ;((( )
Ashman's post was a little more direct than a link to a web site.
Personally attacking an admin for nothing more than his personal webpage IS chilish.
Pete will not be removed for his personal page, we have no control over his personal page.
I do not have a problem with Pete's webpage, but I did have a problem with your quest to get him removed from adminship because you don't like his personal page. If you don't like it, don't go there, just because the link is there doesn't mean you have to click it.
We do have control over direct links posted here however. Like the ones in your signature, I'm sorry there is something simply different from Pete's page and the gay porn link you have posted, for this, you're deleted, now by the technical rules, I should ban you for a direct link to pornography.
Feel free to come back anytime, just don't go posting more porn links.

children, on every page of my website there is a meta tag! it's very long but it starts
<meta http-equiv="pics-label"...
what is this strange meta tag? it's a label from the ICRA which i volunteered for. ICRA ratings are picked up by filtering software and filter offensive websites. guess what, my website was classed as offensive! that means it is filtered automatically from any little kids who try and access it, providing their parents have enabled some form of blocking software. i think i've done enough to prevent kids from accessing my page. what more can i do? add a warning? "only click eneter if you are over 18"? would that be effective at all? no, of course not, it would just entice kids in quicker. how can i stop people being offended? if i post a warning saying, "do not click here if you are easily offended", how the hell can i tell if a person is really going to be offended? sure, they may not have a problem with jokes about shit, but what about all my wife beating and homosexual antics? (oxymoronic if anything, dontcha think?)
it's not my problem if someone's parents don't take care for them on the internet and allow sites such as mine to be freely accessed. it's not my problem if someone can't take a joke. it's not my problem that you think i'm gay and should be shot. i will not remove my website from my sig and i will not post any namby pamby warning messages about it. people use the internet at their own risk. and, as others have said, you don't have to go to my site at all.
besides, you still don't seem to have got the point through your skull: my website has nothing to do with DC at all. ashman screwed about with DC, posting stuff about his weiner directly on the front page. i don't do that. additionally, although some of you seem to think otherwise, my site is not a porn site. if you think someone would be able or willing to jack off to pictures of one guy kissing the other on the cheek, or someone mooning a camera, grow up.
"if you think someone would be able or willing to jack off to pictures of one guy kissing the other on the cheek, or someone mooning a camera, grow up."
there are so many names i could mention, except id get banned *ahem, not that i was going to say an admins name, cause thats not very nice at all*
Pete: i thought it was all funny(except the wife beater, brownie points went down there) until the poo section......"Ghost poo" its called a fucking Phantom, if your gonna talk about shit... do it right!
"Compare Ashmans Admin behaviour with this? Sorta funny eh? He did practicly nothing and got fired, compared to this.. its a big joke"
ashman was stripped of adminship for posting 'ive got a 10 incher' (or somthing along those lines) on the front page (in rather large letters), thats not exactly nothing. pete dosent go round posting lude remarks on tdc, and again, what he dose on his site is his buissnes(bah - i carnt spell).
Pete, you could always remove the link to the site in your signature, and instead put it as part of your profile

i think that would be "worse" in a way, actually. i don't really care if people visit my site or not, and it's not click focused so it doesn't really belong in the links section
OK, maybe a warning message was dumb, but still...
I believe admins should stick more to the rules than regular members should, mostly because of the whole role model effect. If someone young, impressionable n00b comes and looks at Pete's, or any admin's behavior, they will follow suit, since admins usually are in charge of the rules, so it'd make sense to abide to them.
I also find it rather amusing that in the 'Pete Nattress' topic made by the Fake Ashman, at first, everyone was on Fake Ashman's side, and after Nattress posted, no one was on Ashman's side. It's funny when you think of it.
As a closing note, sooner or later Nattress will take the link down, it will happen, either if the people demand it taken down or if Nattress takes the link down himself, without anyone pressing him to.
I'm on neither side, mostly because Nattress is an admin and I don't feel like losing an account for no really good reason, and I don't know enough about the subject to make a full opinion about it.
Pete, heads up: I think some clickers want your head.
Fine Garbage since 2003.

i've been on this site for two years and my sig has contained that link the entire time. why would i remove it now?
if this "impressionable n00b" as tho_odin describes him comes here and sees my sig, goes to my website and it changes how he behaves, we have to ask ourselves, do we really want a member that stupid on this site? my website does not reflect my behavior on DC. how many times do i have to say that! btw you can speak your mind, i'm not into deleting accounts just because the owner doesn't like me o_O.
"if anything it should be removed because it's a fucking dumb website"
Pete, just put a warning that says "Do not enter unless you are over 18". Only harm that would do is scare your parents/relatives into thinking that you're hosting a porn site. No need to remove it from your sig, I thought nobody looked at that anyway.
The thing is, TDC is run by an authoritarian governmental system. If people don't like it, ShadowCaster can just put them in the Sin Bin. If a 50% of DC members revolt, the admins can just ban them all.
Democracy does not exist in a world of anarchy. The internet in itself is anarchy. It is with few masters, and those who are masters have the power of gods. They could just ban someone, and the only thing that person could do is change identities and come back.
Thus, the only way to remove Pete from power is to give a personal mail to the Greater Admins, who have power over the Lesser Admins. Posting a forum post about it only gives your victim a chance to gather up a mob and defend himself.
Down with democracy! May ShadowCaster's supreme reign last a thousand years!

Yeah... even though I'm just making fun of...
user_deleted... I should kill myself...
-Above post is ancient and probably irrelevant-
An old account of mine, recently cleared out. It's a blast to the past, the age was marked as 14 when I found it. If you know where to look, you can track me. Au revoir.
Ok, i've gone ahead and looked at mostly everything, and i'm on Nattress' side, mostly becuase his website isn't really that worse than other sites i've seen (read: mostly German sites, for some reason), and Nattress looks like a responsible person online, moreso than other admins I had to deal with.
The site is in no way connected to TDC except for obvious reasons (e.g. Nattress being both a TDC Admin AND the webmaster of the site in question). Pete put in the meta tags in, so if parents have web-blockers, the blockers will automatically lock the site. If parents don't have a web-blocker, it's not his problem. The only thing i'd suggest to Nattress is that he put up a warning stating that you should view the web site at your own risk, and that's to prevent lawsuits.
I still think that Admins should follow rules, and should follow closely. As close as a Catholic follows the Old and New Testament. (I just know I started a Religious Flame-War)
You should all just chill the hell out. If klikking is such a big part of your life that you have to complain about the personal habits of an admin that have nothing to do with DC, why don't you just make your own community website? Or... you could just go get a life.
But they are so expensive... I think the admins should follow the rules becuase that's what admins normally do, however if they don't want to, they don't have to, becuase they are admins. Also, posting about it doesn't do any good .
LOL. Where'd you get the idea that admins follow the rules? As far as I know, I think just about every admin here (cept the noble WCB) has broken at least one rule, directly or indirectly. I've started more than a few flaming threads back in my noob days.
Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.
I think I'm going to start my own site about penises and have articles on shit. Literally shit.
I say bring back Ashman, at least he made us laugh when he broke the rules. Saying that he was the ultimate role model for children. After his rant about his "13 incher" I heard one guy say that because of Ashman his brother or something about 5 years old runs around shouting "I like to do it on all fours"
I hadn't heard anything so funny. Ashman, role model of the young and restless? Get his ass back in power I say!
I say we make DC points a form of currency that can be used to purchase eAlcohol, which is kinda like the real stuff but it makes your computer/internet browser react in wierd and wonderful ways making surfing the site all the more interesting and arousing.
MUGGUS
Come and annoy me more at
www.muggus69.tk STOUT ANGER!!!
eAlcohol reminds me of that V-Cade cola thing. That was piss funny.
So yeah, DC points should be used as currency. You gain them by posting threads and replies, along with the usual stuff. You can use the points to buy stuff like V-Cade cola recipes and h4x0r 1337 avatars and discounts off TDC store purchases.
I appreciate the support Broomie, and while I agree that the thing with the kid saying about doing it on all fours was in fact, the most hilarious thing ever lol, here's the rub people...
I ain't been an admin for a freakin' long time people, could we move on!?!
Show me the power child,
I'd like to say,
That I'm down on my knees today,
Gives me the butterflies,
Gives me away,
'Til I'm up on my feet again,
I'm feeling outshined.
