Well I read that I'm just getting a few mixed thoughts on a certain site/person. I read all about the Jewwy situation and its not just that. On lots of review threads there are comments saying oh yeah they're good or not they're not and most of the comments I see on some are from Banned people who were Grand Poobahs or Advanced members, and its kinda left me to assume most of these people were banned for either breaking the rules or being scammers. But then again I haven't figured out yet whether one rule broke constitutes being banned or what. I haven't seen a whole lot of warnings so is it safe to assume if you break a rule once your out or is their some sort of 3-strike rule or does it depend on the severity?
This board has been around for awhile. Look at the dates of the posts of the banned members. And, yes, scamming and rule breaking will get you banned. But, depending on the severity of the offense, warning points are often issued first, often multiple warning points, and sometimes privileges (PM, etc) are revoked. I'm sure a mod could go into more detail. I'm curious, though, why you're so concerned? You just got here. Act polite, treat others as you wish to be treated, don't be crazy and you'll be fine. A group of very nice people currently admin and mod this board.
Hi Sciatic and SpaceMatters. As far as I know, their servers were off shore somewhere, beyond the long arm. Hopefully they can simply migrate to a new domain name if it got seized? Very sad if it's gone for good. So much good info over there. I haven't had a chance to dig in over here at DBG yet, but I guess I will start reading (beginning with the forum rules). Keep me posted!
Yeah, odd what the "legal matters" could be. Why that board and not the others that cover the same thing?
Interesting. So it could be that the name was seized which is pretty much what the twitter message said. Wonder how when it's fixed, the membership will be notified of the new name? Probably via the twitter feed.
This confuses me. I'd love the problem to simply be the name was siezed/shut down and nothing more. But why and on what basis would the name be seized? And who would do that?
The way I understand is the domain names are simply associated with an IP address where the web server and site content is actually stored. So the domain host has DNS servers that translate and map all requests to that domain to the web servers, which are generally separate from the domain. The govt can seize a domain name and not necessarily have access to the web servers and content. Gaining access to the content, if off shore, would probably entail cooperation with LE or courts in that country.
Thanks, that is very informative. BTW - I've seen reference to AMC, or AMCs - what is that?
Im not that concerned just curious, I'm very polite normally unless someone gets on my bad side and then they may just get let into but as far as rule breaking I wouldn't purposely break any rules unless I didn't know of them and I just don't want to get banned for saying the wrong thing or something. Also Im trying to decifer which info is legit and isn't so obviously if someone was banned for scamming they're info is prolly not legit if they were banned for just saying the wrong thing on a board I figure it could be legit. Maybe i'm just reading too far into things /-8 Us libras worry too much.

When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.

I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.

@xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.

he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down

@NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
