You might have read about my continuing struggles with a really frustrating web host, well it has a happy ending!
After trolling someone who hated Christmas because of his abusive parents and forcing us into locking the topic dedicated to Christmas and thus receiving several rather harshly worded PMs from various users (this was none of my doing, they chose to themselves!) about the fact that god damn you just forced someone to lock the topic about Christmas what the hell he did something I have never ever seen anyone on the internet before.
He looked back on his posting history and said “Damn they’re right, I really am a huge asshole”.
And then decided “I should stop being that”.
Honestly this was the one man I absolutely hated, the only person I could legitimately say I couldn’t stand, and this has caused me to gain a huge amount more respect of him. I mean I’d still not seek out his company but damn, I know from personal experience that being bull-headedly stubborn is a terribly hard habit to break out of.
So to cut things short I am now in full possession of my own message board (it means I have to pay for it but I have been offering to do that for over a year), our sole biggest recurring troll (who was completely unbannable) has vowed that he is going to change (and can now be dealt with if he does not without hanging the axe of “I can delete your forum” over our heads) and basically it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
I really really really never expected this to end in any way except this guy going crazy and deleting everything, so this is a far better ending than I could ever have imagined.
Best late Christmas present :)
