gixerjunkies site closure
"We apologise to the innocent members caught up in this situation, but matters had to be taken in hand.
Despite the request made on Saturday evening to leave matters alone, some did still push the boundaries and as a result the site was shut off as promised.
A few of you may have spotted the double entendre posting (now deleted) that kicked off in the backyard late Saturday night. The member in question had nothing to do with the matter in hand, yet pushed his luck with a needless and provocative post. He is one lucky chap to still be a member. I will not reveal his identity, but advise that neither he nor anyone else pushes their luck again.
We don't tolerate personal attacks on the site, not even sleight of hand ones. It either runs as a friendly site - or it can be taken down altogether. Where it goes from here is ultimately up to you guys, but it is important for me to stress that there is no way that any mods or admin are gonna be intimidated, abused and criticised for doing the best job they can, as has been the case in the last 48 hours.
Some of the abuse that has been flying around both on and off the forum is nothing short of atrocious. It must stop.
This place takes a lot of running and a lot of maintainance, that means a lot of time and work done in the background. No-one is asking for thanks for that - but neither is any of us gonna stand to be fired off at - particularly when the full facts are not known by the shooters.
So I suggest we all just move on and get back to normal quickly please - unless you prefer the site taking down permanently.
That is not an idle threat.
The site will go live again on Monday morning at 9.00 am.
Thank you for reading this and apologies if you are an innocent victim of the situation"
