For some reason Thugs just booted me from the Ebay forum???

Does anyone know why? My last post was sending my condolences to him because it appears his friend was murdered. I'm quite confused and don't know what I did to deserve it.

[scud80]

heh, i got kicked off too ... i assumed it's because i outbid him on a listing tonight.

[bonesy]

me too

[scud80]

actually, it looks like he's kicking off *everyone* ... the group is down to 180 members now (i think it was around 900 before?)

[bonesy]

Ive seen groups start on ebay before and eventually get too big and pretty much have to move to a straight-up forum like here.
It would make sense.

[scud80]

now only 6 left ... he works fast.

it obviously has to do with the tragedy rklimek mentioned, so i can't really begrudge his attitude at all.

What was this?

[scud80]

thugs posted something about a friend and his family being murdered yesterday ... i don't really remember exactly what he said though.

[bonesy]

ouch... understand as well.
This place is gonna get busy.

That is really too bad. I know each forum talked sh1t about each other but they were very helpful resources and I've met some very cool people through both. Sure more will unfold tomorrow. I'm going to bed.

I really hope this isn't true and that Thugs is/will be alright. Sounds terrible.

Agree, it's the second time I'd been banned by thugs ! thought, here we go again.. but if what you say is true.. then no problems, hope he's ok. Sounds very f**kin serious. Strange how personal it all feels.. it's just an ebay forum.. but all too human, usually in the best possible way.

I mean no disrespect, and as others have said, I hope that he's as ok as you can be if something like this has happened. However, I just don't see what it has to do with kicking everyone off of the eBay forum?

[hankpank]

The message from Thugs when banning me was :
"thethugsdontwork has included the following message:
abandon consciousness."

Only speculating, but maybe he just banned everybody temporarily, because he can't administer the forum right now, for whatever reason.

Do anyone have his message from tonight about what happened?

[suandjonah]

all the threads relating to it were removed. cant begin to understand how he is feeling. all I would say is show the guy a little privacy and respect for his emotions at he moment

[m@san]

I also got the boot and the 'abandon consciousness' message .. that's why i've ended up here!

[RBK]

Think we can all rejoin. Thugs obviously had a very bad day.

[gbh]

yep, me too.
wtf
