Maybe we should contact Zhou Tonged?

Sigh. I wish it was just this, but the hypocrisy here is so deep and wide I feel like it deserves it's own song.

Because, as dishonest and/or unprofessional they may appear to be - they haven't really scammed anyone, AFAIK anyone who requests a refund is refunded.

But this is more serious and I believe Theymos will look into it.

Thank you for the concise list - really sheds a better light on that aspect.

+1 if you need help id love to help with a decentralized site. It will be hard but interesting


No offense to BFL or you but people have been complaining about BFL advertising on the forum. Nothing was solved as far as I know.

@Matthew

It's been less than 24h, maybe he is looking into it or busy with something else, I don't think people will forget it until it is resolved so a bit more waiting shouldn't hurt.

I have my own feelings and beliefs to base my actions on, but my reasoning for starting a new forum will be to provide a place where this kind of thing simply cannot happen. It will be challenging, but this pseudo-decentralizing community needs to start realizing just how much influence people have on everything from the price of their bitcoins to the opinions they hold. It's time for a platform that doesn't need Theymos, or accusations against Garr, or advertising money from bfl, and eventually won't need me either.

I deserve it, this community deserves it, the internet deserves it.

I personally have never had a problem with this forum. There have been scammers and such but thats life. Tho I do agree with Matt that something should be done or said. No mods posting is just pissing more people off. This could of been solved in less then an hour. Simply saying yes its true or no its false. Either way it would be done and solved instead you have users arguing about it and loosing trust in this forum.

I've heard about the $25k he's holding but only through some posts here now - are there any other older forum posts that document this? Just curious about it, really.

To tell you truth, I couldn't care leas about him and have no axe to grind, but I continue to be insulted by the double standard and corruption on these forums. There is not another person on these forums who gets as much flack as I do for the mistakes I've made, and Theymos (as he has twice) would waste no time theowing a scammer tag down (what was it, 20 second record last time I pissed him off?), yet it's been a whole day now and not a peep from dear leader. Forgive me for allowing myself to be emotional about something on the internet, but passion is what drives me, and once I learn that my role models, teachers, or offenders are worse than me, it is a bit of a wake up call to rise up and crush these false prophets.

There is no way I'm not going to start another forum project now, and not because I'm delusional or think I'll be particularly perfect and flawless, but because I know myself and what I would do if I were Theymos, and it wouldn't have been to ignore criticisms and stay in power all this time despite corruption, insider trading, theft and broken promises to the community. The disgust has reached a boiling point. I don't dare test the cultists by calling for anyone to "GTFO", but rather I should strive to build something where even I in all my flawed nature cannot possibly fuck it up this badly.

Forum Mods please do the right thing and investigate the IP / post history of Garr255  & Werner.

I guess there'll be no need to unless you want to discuss Garr's banking and lottery sites.

I stand corrected, sharpen your pitchfork.

Raising gives the opportunity to get re-raised. You're so sure you're trying to raise induce a re-raise?? You better make sure your read is SPOT on. I don't see how this situation is anything like poker though. Back to the thread!

Graduated and over 18, and trusted by theymos as an adult (17 at the time) in currently holding $25K+ USD of this forums money.

Lately? If anything bitcoin has really improved over the years on the scandal front. This is pretty small potatoes.

Goodness gracious there is alot of scandalous ass shit going on around here lately

Ahhh that's a good point.  Nice in theory but would likely just generate a whole new wave of flak.

No.

Unfortunately, while that would seem like a nice thing to do, it seems to me it would set a precedent that puts BFL in the middle of a shitstorm between eBay pre-order scammers and their irate customers.... and opens the door for fake customers of fictional scammers to join the fray also... messy.
