I found this rolling headline on MCL just now:
PLEASE WOULD THE 'Madrigal Member' WHO HAS BOTHERED TO TRAWL THROUGH the 2009 'Ground Zero' threads IN ORDER TO REPORT THIS BOARD TO PROBOARDS DO THE DECENT THING AND DELETE THEIR MEMBERSHIP HERE.
THANK YOU

I get the front page, pippa, but, if I try to drill below that, only the msg you've quoted.
I've observed a couple of proboard shutdowns before, and the wipeout was sudden.
This one looks a bit tentative. No doubt it'll all be clear in the morniong

Having got, 'Unable to connect' all morning, I just got a 'Down for maintenance' message. Let us hope for a swift return.

I'm just astonished that James St George is allowed to continue. I've just popped in there and hurried away calling for smelling salts.

JSG was shut down once but he managed to negociate its return. I know because he told me.

I am getting the message pippa quotes in the OP, which can mean a lot of things, including that the board has gone for ever.
It always happens so suddenly, and you never have time to save anything you might want to save.
I have no idea who has done it. I can't remember that there was anything of nay/joe's on the 2009 'Ground Zero' threads so it doesn't look like animus against him, particularly.
I can't see the point - and JSG just goes on and on.

care to withdraw this which you posted yesterday on the other thread, jean. perhaps an apology as well? : It is true that nay/joe used racist language on MCL; it is true that that was thought to be the reason for the board's demise, to the extent that the threads containing it were deleted in the hope of avoiding the closure. I know that because I posted on one of them, and I read the other, and I read Bets's message. Who do you want me to apologise to and for what? Bets, I hope you get it reinstated. I've never been in favour of the squealing to Proboards (and I hate the guilt by association). |

thank you Jean.
...and Pippa, i take no notice of rumour.
Proboards may or may not tell me who the member was who reported the board.
i hope the individual concerned is feeling better now. they must have had a pretty miserable and lonely christmas to have spend it reading through ancient posts. the liberal joe stuff was not even the half of it.
clearly it was an inside job as they knew to do it on my birthday - thanks for that!
let's be thoughtful and wish the poor sad sod a better 2011.
