"Donate to Keep the Site Ad Free-And Vibrant"
Well considering the "Thread & Post Bomb" , "Aldentut, Keeganbob & Co." dropped on us this evening this donation drive seems to need a boost to say the least!!!!! LOL
RF, is gonna be pissed and have a shitload of work to do in the morning!!! lol
My sympathies, J. I tried to warn you early on but couldn't reach you. If you can do something nasty back at these assholes by all means go for it!!!!! lol lol
I offered a few NSFW comments their way to little effect. lol lol Some pretty empty and lonely lives being lived there for sure!!!
Perhaps we should amend the donation drive title to include:
Donate to Keep the Site Ad, Asshole Free-And Vibrant
I see that turd of a spammer is back with different accounts: Keganmob and JerodEi....
Instead of just banning each username this idiot creates, can we not ban their entire IP address?
Let's cut this prick off at the source!
Spam everywhere!
T-Dogz has a good idea...I hope it works and this (these?) annoying poster can be eliminated.
I rarely look at this thread, but I figured people would be talking about last night's breach. People gotta get a life in this world.
And then I found out about the recent tragedy in Kris' life. So sorry to hear. My prayers and thoughts go out to you, your family, and the family of the deceased.
Sorry about the ongoing spam infestation, folks. Trying to delete as many of the spammer's posts as I can but I don't have mod powers in every section, so they're able to keep their activities going because some posts are being posted there and not requiring mod approval. And seems all the admin staff is currently away
Maybe stop accepting new members for a while? Use captcha when joining along with email verification? Send scorpions to these numbnutz? ….just spitballing...
that was me. I just cleared down what was left. I also added an additional anti-bot question on sign up, but i'm not sure if it will make much difference.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I just heard that T-Dogz is now a staff member is that true, Simon? Jesus, they'll just let anyone join the staff now, huh? What has, RF been recruiting at bus stops and homeless shelters? lol lol lol
First a Goblin, now Timmy............................................. ..........The British are coming, The British are coming!!!!!!!! Someone could have at least lit a warning lantern somewhere!!!! lol lol
Is it possible that youth is nothing more than an organism's temporary state of psychological self-intoxication intended to distract from the reality that there is nothing but the gaping void and create and maintain the illusion that there is a point long enough for us to reproduce and see our little ones out the door?
Or maybe I should just settle the hell down.
You can't be aloof until you advertise.
I guess I'm thinking of humans specifically; animals seem to lack our capacity for neurotic reflection.

This is interesting and seems legit? Source: Blog "20th Century Danny Boy", entry dated 7th Jan 2019.
A few months back I posted the deposition of Jim Warren. He was desposed in the still running case brought by Ben DuBay, the nephew of Bill DuBay claiming horror author Stephen King lifted concepts and the general storyline of his Dark Tower series from DuBay’s own series, The Rook, which Bill DuBay created with Budd Lewis, in particular, DuBay’s character, Restin Dane, directly influenced King when he created his own character Roland Deschain.
The Rook first appeared in March 1977. From that date the character appeared in Warren Magazines such as Vampirella, Eerie and Warren Presents, before being handed its own title. There are enough similarities between The Rook and Dark Tower for Ben DuBay to bring the suit, and as part of the process a few people have been deposed, including Ralph Macchio (the former Marvel editor, not the skinny actor), Jim Warren, film director Bob Gale, Ben DuBay and Stephen King himself.
Read King's full deposition here...
There is a thread for this. http://www.thedarktower.org/Dark-Tower-lawsuit-claims-SK-is-a-plagiarist
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
Ahh, damn - thought I had a pearler here. I’ve never seen that thread before, nor knew of this lawsuit - of course the crew here are all over this issue... I found the transcript fascinating (and long)...
It pays to visit The Oracle
Thanks, i've put it aside for reading it later !

One thing that stands out: the poor quality of audio and video the opposing attorney subjected King to. Was the intent to create confusion for King in attempting to answer questions? Or were they just that incompetent?
(It reminds me of when I requested copies of a service agreement with a vendor (at my job); they sent me what looked like a copy that had been faxed and re-faxed 10 times (very degraded image) that had been shrunk to fit within 2" borders on all sides - damn near illegible.)
Another thing that stands out: apparently the fact that King used to read magazines and comic books is a devastating blow to his defense...
