Yeah the toilet paper company's make so much money that they will assassinate anyone that preaches about the power of the bidet 🤣🤣🤣
The thing is I don't even use bidet, I use a water pipe sprayer that have strong enought current, since it is cheaper. Bidet are expensive for us.

Are you Night Sky? You don't really write the same way but we had a poster from Dpad and he deleted his account out of nowhere.

I'm hoping he comes back 😁
He was shit canned from dpad for screenshotting one of the members only sub forums and posting them elsewhere (presumably here)

Boswollocks wasn't banned. He asked to have his account deleted.
He's one of several good posters who have been driven away from that forum by the moderation team (Mirabillis in particular, since he's the one who does most of the moderation).

The mods suspected that he had posted a screenshot from their super secret members only section (which is against their rules), and so the team confronted him about it. They didn't ban him straight up. I don't know the specifics of that conversation in particular, but there's a common pattern with several of their members who end up leaving and asking for an account deletion:

- Infraction of some sort or a post is reported to the mod team.
- Mod team initiates a group PM chat, that includes all the mods and the member in question, inadvertently creating a "us vs you" type environment.
- Something happens within said chat that causes escalation rather than resolution
- Member leaves or requests to have account deleted

But rather than just delete your account, they change your name and avatar to something petty and insulting.

Nobody on dpad cares if youre active on other boards

False. Last year when this forum first opened up they permanently banned @Explosive Zombie, @Nym and myself at the same time within hours of us starting to post right here in this very thread. Nym and I in particular hadn't posted on dpad for months at the time so the ban was obviously and specifically because we posted in here.

I don't think it's possible to start a new forum without drama. It always starts with good intentions, to make it "better" than GAF or ERA...but it always ends with fights, cliques and bans 🫤

Falcs your latest ban there was for something i probably shouldn't even mention here lol

They sell themselves over there as being this based group of gigachad men, with "boys club rhetoric" and "no pronouns", and they're all about support for "free speech". But "wait a sec, don't you dare make a joke about that!! Even though we have no such rule about anything specific like that!"

The real reason I was banned was because I question their moderation. That's a big no no there.

Its a shame yknow, all the drama

I just wanna talk about video games 🎮

The older i get, the less people i know irl who enjoy them in the same sense i do

Well, that's the whole idea of this place... of course we kinda focus in on PlayStation but our reasoning there is that there are Famiboards, XboxEra etc for other platforms.

I think there should be forums for every viable niche in gaming TBH.

Yeah youve always had a rep as a big console warrior but youve always been a chill dude

Think thats partially why Xbox scum like me and Xaero always thought you were a cool guy 😎
