Djarums is that you?

[Firestar]

Yeah, I call them out of the woodwork.
Are we really being graced by the presence of a SUPERMOD?
Speak your mind my friend.Freely.

Hey DJ I hope you got my PM! Welcome buddy! Always nice to see a friend!

[Yo Mama]

Come on, you guys you know it's a troll pretending to be Djarums.

Let the Baby Olympic Games begin. :roll:

[Djarums]

Impersonating me would hardly be worthwhile for various reasons including the ease with which some of you can communicate with me.

I'll post more tonight when I'm not out using a PDA.

[JiveTurkey]

Now that I think about it, I believe you are one of the VERY FEW mods that I wasn't in some sort of contact with during my time at thAt oTher Site.


Seeing as how I am not really familiar with you, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are here with the best of intentions.


I hope so anyhow.


Glad to have ya.

Was you username inspired by it, Djarums?

[mojo]

nice to see you here Djarums. :)

look forward to hearing your thoughts on different topics.

Greetings all.

As some of you have independently verified (Lori, Corey) I am indeed the same Djarums.

To answer the most popular question usually asked of me, yes I did get my name from the Clove Cigarettes which I used to smoke. I quit approximately 2 and a half years ago, which is something that I'm very proud of.

Anyways from the names I've seen here most of you are quite familiar with me from over the years so I do look forward to discussing certain things with all of you.

Thank you for the warm welcome.

[Yo Mama]

OK, if it's really you, my apologies.

However, I have to be completely honest and say I'm extremely suspicious.

At least one member of this board was threatened with banning for joining here while keeping a membership on the other site, so forgive me if I question why one of the mods from the other site would cross that line drawn in sand.

Just doing my job as skeptic diva.

[mojo]

i'm glad your here, i think we can take your joining at face value, or at least im willing to.
i personally dont see why there should be any stigma attached to some of us being members of both sites.
Hell i know for a fact that theres a heap of members on ats that are members at ghmb and other alternative sites. we are, most of us, conspiracy nuts after all. lol.

hell theres only 60 of us here and some of them are bots. hehe.

djarums, i cant remember having seen a lot of threads that you'd authored, is that because of having to be a moderator?
you know you can cut loose here. :)



(ps)
anyway AP you were looking for some members to join that you could argue with werent you. :D

[Djarums]

Regarding membership on both sites, are there any members here that aren't (weren't) also members of ATS?

Most of you have identical/similar usernames to your names on ATS so it's hardly a secret.

I will not speak of those who are banned from ATS because if I didn't ban you it's not my place, however, I do know based on simple timeline analyses that none of you (MM, Lex, Sim) were banned as a result of your membership here.

The only person who suffered at my hands temporarily was Corey who I banned from chat for a whopping 24 hours for a violation of our T&C. We discussed it via u2u, the issue was resolved, and his chat priveleges were immediately restored by me.

I consider myself to be an extremely fair person and those of you who have interacted with me in one way or another can not dispute that.

I'll be more than happy to answer anything tossed my way regarding these issues in an effort to toss this silliness in the bin for good.

Feel free to ask me anything, yell, accuse, whatever... I will do the best I possibly can to give you an honest answer.

I think theres a few members who arent members of ats.

i'm a member of both sites, lol, i havent been banned from either. (yet).
im mojo here and mojo4sale on ats. its not a secret. i'm here because some very good friends that i made at ats are now here.
if that means im in the shit for showing loyalty to some friends i'll
happily wear that. Hell its the bloody intranetty tubez thing not a
hostile takeover of bhp billaton :)
anyway, lifes to short for grudges or petty childish squabbling, i
get enough of that at home with my 4 kids.

so ive given up my secret identity, lol, how does that affect my
continued relationship at ats?

btw i sort of hoped that your joining was a genuine curiousity thing,
am i right?

:D cheers mojo.

[Yo Mama]

I know I wasn't banned from there for being a member here, because I didn't find out about this place until I'd been a pariah for almost a month.

Gotta fess up that I do have some hard feelings, but I'll live. They're not against you personally. We always got along in chat OK.

So, again, excuse my suspicions. And welcome aboard!

[Djarums]

Ain't that the truth...

It hasn't and it won't.

I understand. But as you say, you will live. Well, you did, right? You're here now.

It is true that often times there are hard feelings regarding things that go on, but it's healthier for all involved to move on with life. Constantly harboring ill will is not healthy.

EDIT: Ok perhaps I'm having trouble with the quote tags, but you get the idea...

Fear not! The Lord of the Forks spoke very well of you and took full responsibility for his temporary ban there.

As I said earlier, we are glad to have ya!

It's only natural chica.


Sure, it's only a website but some (most) of us put in a GREAT DEAL of time and effort there and that is something you can never get back.


As far as my personal feelings go, I bear absolutely no ill will toward AboveTopSecret or any of the members there.

However, I have absolutely ZERO respect for Bill or "Infinite". Everyone here knows my feelings regarding the overlord and as far as infinite goes................................pathetic pretty much sums it up.
Infinite followed me around to nearly every thread I posted in for several days mocking me and trying to get me to "step out of line". It was silly and childish. As a result of this, I go back to check his past post and noticed that he had a habit of doing the same thing to plenty of others who caught his attention.


As far as everyone else goes (even Mirthful Me), I have absolutely no problem with any of them.


I have said it before and I'll say it again, ATS is a GREAT site, BUT, if things continue operating the way they are, ATS is doomed to fail. If that does happen, it will be a damn shame, especially for Simon. Simon is a damn cool guy and some pompous assclown who sees nothing but numbers and dollar signs will kill his baby if he isn't put on a leash.

lol, gotta get a "reply to" tag jasn.

I think the best thing we can do now, collectively, is move on, even
those of us who are still members at ats and are disappointed about our friends getting banned.
truly glad your here too djarums even if it is just to scope us out.
lets just enjoy the interaction we can all share, i enjoy this site not
just because you guy's are here but also because the rules are a bit looser and i can chat about stuff that would get me in the shit
elsewhere. at the same time ats offers me the chance to interact with a wide range of people and topics in a slightly more
constrained enviroment, that is also a good thing.

<hugs> lol.

the thing to do now is concentrate on the positives that Amkon
offers us and to forget the negatives that bought us together.
whaddya reckon. :)

one liners, off topic posts, colourful language.....who could ask for
more.

"hey hey im a monkey, i love to monkey around, if im too busy
singin, i dont have time to frown'.

I told you bro, it's the damn painting!! I think the fumes are making me forgetful and lazy hahahahha.

Let me see what I can find, perhaps I can get it implemented tonight.....we shall see!!


Jasn (aka: Your Hero) (okay, maybe not....but still...... :P )

[Tetsujin]

Did I hear home grown?! I sure hope so! Dj, I think it was a good thing that you stoped by man, things needed to get cleared up.

[JiveTurkey]

kk master mojo, i found the script I am going to use. I need to do a good bit of editing to it before I implement it but, with any luck, it'll be good to go by tomorrow night.

[Iamsix]

Welcome Dj....I have had a little interaction with you over at the other site and have found you to be fair and even handed.

[Tetsujin]

No doubt DJ is a very fair Mod! I have had a couple run ins with him over there and he has treated me with nothing but respect and the problems were resolved right away.
