I'm confused.
« on: January 04, 2011, 07:04:04 PM »
Why did my account activation take so long? I registered around Christmas and it just got approved today. What's the deal with that? Are they really that thorough with their approval method?

and while I've been waiting, I've been looking around the forum. What's the deal with all these crap posts that do nothing but flame/troll/spam/etc. Are the mods even attempting to do their jobs? I'm actually kind of scared to post anything with my limited knowledge of Bakugan, as I'll just be flamed for being a 'retard/noob/etc.'

And the friend that referred me here said this forum has been around for two years, and it's obvious because of the member count. But here's my question. Where's all of the posts? In most of the boards, there's little to no posts? Why? Was this an administration decision or what?

Those are my questions. Sorry if I come off as rude/pessimistic/etc., it's just these questions have been biting at me ever since I started looking around on this forum.

The administration/moderation is not so good here..and some members tend to be trollers/flamers. So yeah.

The lack of posts was because a mod gave a member, Tdog, his account and Tdog wanted to have revenge on the terrible admins and mass deleted.

And Bakugan is dying.

@DeltaDrago: The moderation/administration need to get their act together unless they're just really stupid. Letting members break rules 24/7 and not doing anything about it? *sigh* It amazes me how this forum survived 2 years with this kind of crap.

you would think the members would've just left or try to do something about it. Surprisingly they're still here. Maybe I missed the 'doing something about it' part.

@MasterDharak: Okay, why would he do that? Is it part of what I said above as 'doing something about it'? And how is Bakugan dying relevant to the lack of posts? Just because there's hardly any info coming in doesn't mean you can't discuss things...

Well, the administration/moderation wasn't ALWAYS bad. But yeah, I'm surprised as well.

It was his twisted way of telling them to either use their power and come on more or basically let the members run the place. No admins came on until three days after the first delete, and even then they had no backups.

I was just puttion it out there that bakugan is dying. It had nothing to do with post deletion.

Hi mariotitans! Welcome to bakuganbuzz!
Two things, either you didn't check your email for activation right away or because admins left off for Christmas holidays.
Our forum is in the process of restoration right now, and we're taking things slowly and carefully in order to secure the main site since the forum is only a subpage.

Thanks
