Okay...since we're talking about this, we might as well talk about it. This board is only visible to people logged in, so random lurkers will never see it.
Somethings. I really don't think the people involved in this -really- want me to post the full transcript. You guys do look foolish. The things Emmie has said are not wrong, and for the record: she has complete authority when I am gone. The same can be said for Wyndam, SlayerLV, Jsebold87, spikeluv13, and KingofCretins. The difference is that Emmie actually does it more often. So attacking her and cursing her karma levels is pretty lame. And yes, I can see that! Emmie is an amazing moderator/higher up and without her I would be completely lost. She has stepped her game up tenfold and really provided a ROCK for me to lean on. My other moderators all provide help in other ways, and even though you may not *see* them, they work behind the scenes moving threads, editing them, deleting them, welcoming and helping newbies and long-time forumers alike. That is why you have not seen SlayerLV, Jsebold87, spikeluv13 replaced! Wyndam has really grown into it as well, helping out where he can and being a real asset in our ideas and discussions in the mod board. They are all back-up that I need.
Someone mentioned the other board on here, and the mods there -did- ban the people involved in the trolling! So yes, they are banned from Buffy-Boards as well.
I just want to say that you guys hurt my feelings, personally by doing this. Like it *hurt* in a real way where my day was ruined, even when I logged off and left the computer. I felt sad, nervous, worried, and humiliated. But despite that I did not ban you from the forum. When I do have reason. We don't want to do that. You went in there, and you went in with this forum's name. Thus making yourselves ambassadors from us. And the conduct was not good! Acting immature and keeping a tally of it wasn't funny. Especially when you were simply asked to leave, and did not. Furthermore, after a mod booted you from the chat you came back in and mocked him! Those are the most despicable things that I saw, other than the language and hostility. And yes I saw that they threatened to ban you for mentioning SlayAlive. But you could have just ended it there, and you didn't! This forum was mentioned 15 more times after that. How is that okay? How am I supposed to rectify your actions to the online world? Buffy-World is alot bigger than we are. They have over 6,000 members and are the top search in Google. They get way more traffic than we do, and I assure you that random lurkers as well as their members and viewers are not gonna come here anymore after this. After creating my account there, I received a total of 10 messages (some PM some straight up email) from members there feeling sorry about it all, but informing me that they would never be interested in this forum since you are members here.
Buffy_Summers and I have buried the hatchet so to speak through email. I'm attempting to fix wrongs form the past. She has her opinions and she can do whatever she wants. But she informed me that bad-mouthing us will not happen on her forum. I appreciate that. I believe her, I trust her. And I promised that I would do the same here.
I really like you guys, I really do. But my opinions of you have changed from witnessing this, and trying to make others forgive your actions when you aren't even apologetic for it. I'm very sorry to have to say this next bit:
Either you accept this punishment and try to be positive to rectify yourselves, or...please leave the forum. Delete your account, and please do not return. I will not be banning you, I am asking that you do it yourself since I do not wish for you to leave. But if you cannot comply with our terms, you should leave us.
Check your PM inbox for a formal message from me, decided upon by myself and the rest of my team. Believe me this ends here one way or another.

Mikey you (and the others involved) were given a warning level and banned from the chat box because of the events that unfolded at the other forum, not because of anything that you said in this thread. There was further discussion on the moderator board and it was decided that further disciplinary actions needed to be taken. That's it - nothing that was said in this thread had anything to do with the privileges being taken away.

Are you threatening me? Do not tell me that you're gonna post a PM. You're way over the line and over stepping your boundaries as a member here.

Come on can't we all just get along, accept punishment and then move on? EDIT: Okay I swear I did not intend for that to rythme *leaves the scary "everyones in trouble thread" and goes to have a look at the much more funner Buffy Season Eight thread...yeah!

I also felt embarrassed by what happened over at Buffy-Boards, even for just being a member here. Hold on, are the participants banned from the chat box? And if so, for how long? Sorry, just curious. I really wish this whole incident never happened. SlayAlive is a great Buffy forum and it doesn't deserve to have it's reputation destroyed for members acting out. There is no excuse for for the behavior of the offenders.

Some have continued in the chatting over there after this happened. So everyone will share the punishment. That's the only way to rectify this to Buffy-Boards. Some sort of disciplinary action has to happen, I see that it cannot just be swept under the rug. And like I said, if you cannot deal with that, leave. Face it, you were part of a group of trolls. Even after being booted from their chat you came back in, proving you wanted to be a trouble maker. You should have just stopped there!
So be glad that you've caused trouble! You can either accept my terms, or you can go.

WHAT?! Who went back?!! I have no knowledge of this! Wow, that really isn't the point. Nor is it anyone's business. Everyone involved has been punished and that should be enough for anyone to know.

Well, I went back but only to see what went down over there and to apologize for what our members did.

Mikey, please stop. I wouldn't be able to stand it if you were banned from SlayAlive.

I saw that mikey and Kara have both sent formal letters of apology to the admin of BB. This is both respectful, and pleasing to me. And I know that the admin there is very grateful as well. It's important that we as a community not have 'bad blood' between us, and rather than flat out banning people I would rather have a situation fixed.
You both have now gone out of your way to apologize, and that means alot. While it doesn't make everything okay, it is very commendable. I respect anyone who can put problems and pride aside to just say sorry to someone else, especially online (where you can easily ignore things). So bravo and kudos to mikey and Kara.

All bans are indefinite and at the discretion of the moderators and I.
We do not take this situation lightly and will not be allowing 'all to be well' and let everyone weasel their way back in like nothing happened. This was a very serious offense and you all should thank your lucky stars that we didn't ban everyone permanently, I doubt any other Buffy forum would tolerate such hi-jinks and immaturity. This is not directed at you specifically Joe, I am telling all people who are either banned, warned, etc.
The gavel is going to start coming down alot harder on people now. We have rules and they will be enforced whether you like it or not.

The chatbox isn't working for me either it's says to check code and reinstall, it's been like this for a few days now. Four other people have told me that they're having the same problem... I wonder what's causing it. It's really weird, 'cause I'm not having any issues with the Cbox. Hmm.

I wish I knew what was going on, guys. It's working fine for me, but I know Phil's been made aware of the issue. We're working on it, okay.
