This kind of thing happens out in the real world, too. People have disagreements and they fight. There's no way around it. Walk off for a week or so and cool off, then come back. Bucket apologized, saw he was wrong, and exiled himself. There's no need to lose TWO people. I hope Bucket will come back in time when he gets a better handle on dealing with strong irritation on the internet, and it's NOT an easy thing to handle - there's no body language to convey meaning and modifying in person. Bucket sure isn't insisting he was right, and crowing about victory, like I've known others -complete sphincters- to do!
That almost all of us here hope both[/u] will return when they can put this behind them is very indicative of the value of each member.

Where indeed? But, would you wanna come back and run the asylum? I know I wouldn't. Not if they paid me, but for free?

Wow, what a way to start the New Year! I personally regret having to read all of what transpired the last few days. It’s has always saddened me to see anyone leave the forum due to hostility from others. I think many of the things I would like to say have already been said by others, in particular Tyrannax, who have very well crafted a good response that summarize what most of us feel. We have tried to make the forum as welcoming as possible to both old and new members. However hard we may try, it is inevitable that someone will cross the line and go on a rampage, offending and hurting many. There was nothing much us mods and admins can do to have prevented what happened. We have our own personal lives and obligations and can’t be monitoring the forum 24/7. Regrettably, things happen before anyone of us even notice. And in this case, be the target ourselves of attacks. Believe me, we have tried as much as we could, and as much as our personal lives and obligations allows, to run this forum the best we can. Tomhet is to be credited for having devoted much of his time running this forum when he took over. It’s not an easy task. And sooner or later, it starts wearing down on you, I know, and I have not even been as active as a moderator as Sbell, and Their has, which for that I apologize. I hope that all of you at least have some appreciation of what Admins and mods have to personally give up to meet the demands of keeping the forum running. We cannot always be the ones responsible here, we can only do so much. All you, the 300 + members, too must help in ensuring that things don’t get out of hands, and share that responsibility. We ALL BENEFIT from this forum, why else are we here then? The last thing we want happen is for this forum to capsize and forever sink into oblivion. I think we all have something at stake here, and if you don’t, then I sincerely hope that you respect those who have and refrain from launching any unnecessary personal attacks on us and each other. The whole future of the forum is at stake here. I have to admit that I have not been following the threads where this all occurred; so many threads to keep track of in this busy time, so I guess I was fortunate enough to not be subjected to the entire thing. I sincerely hope that the Dinosaur Toy Forum will survive all of this turmoil as we head into the new year, I really do. There is no other forum out there that is so well loved by its members, and is respected by the toy companies themselves; it would be a terrible loss for all of us if the forum dissolves…

Whoa!! Last time i took a break two members left and kevin wasn't posting his brilliant art anymore. Now I've left again and Al is back and it seems as though kevin has left (or just dismantled his account and is here as a guest)! WTF??? As former Australian politician Pauline Hansen once said: "Please explain."

For the limited amount of emotion that can be expressed over a forum, it was fairly gruesome.

Both members broke the first rule of the Dinosaur Toy Forum - do not talk about the Dinosaur Toy Forum! They also broke the second rule of Dinosaur Toy Forum - 'DO NOT TALK ABOU' - no - wait. 'No smoking'.
;D
Seriously though, they were banned for breaking forum rules. There isn't anything to say about it and I don't think it should be brought up again anyway. The offending posts and threads have for the most part been deleted.
