WTF is with all the extra effort in shitting on Headless??
 

Headless has been a fixture of the adult webmaster community for years. He may not be the biggest "player" but he's helped many people out including myself.

He's been a large contributor to this board since day one, and helped promote the board too. So he may be a bit of an ass sometimes, no more than anyone else, but his intent is always of pure entertainment value and he's never been spammy.

So he made a slightly bad judgement call? So what! He should have enough clout around here to deserve an explanation and possibly a warning. Maybe I'm missing some of the story but that's just how I see it.

Headless had some killer news and wanted to share it with everyone just this one time because he was excited and felt he accomplished something. Maybe he shouldn't have sent a mass icq, but I've seen others do it and they've never been banned from gfy. I just think that he should have got a warning not to post the link to the gfy thread itself if that was the case.

I wasn't going to toss my opinion out there at all, but just a minute ago I run across a thread urging people to fuck with him on his icq. And another thread making fun of his weight. I just think it's fucked up and completely uncalled for.

Oh well, back to your regular programming :Oh crap

Personally, I agree with you, mama.

In my opinion, cheese is better when melted.

Well said, RRRED!...

The funny part is that I'm on his list and I didn't get a message from him.

He's ok in my book.

I agree, seems there is something below the surface to this one.

Headless is my Daddy.

:disgust Now I see a thread with pictures of whales. God damn WTF!

he did not send 1 mass ICQ spam, he sent at least 3 ., . . . third time is the charm I guess

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I didn't receive a message either...

Damn that's funny.

Well said

I didn't mind when I got spammed the first time from him, and the second time I bit my lip. But the third time I let him know that I didn't appreciate it. I'm all for sharing good news but at some point you can go overboard - and he did. Then he wants to get into a pissing match with one of the mods and that's when his troubles really began :winkwink:

He'll be back in a bit after he cools off - that's how it always works :thumbsup

Maybe it was a glitch that it went out three times to some and none to others.

I feel so lucky . . .

I'm far from a big fan of Headless' board persona, as he mixes in way too many insults for my taste, often uncalled for. Regardless, I believe Headless has been a feature of this board for long and he does add entertainment value, often more so than people posting twelve emu threads in a row and tripping balls. He did nothing wrong towards the board. Hell, he even linked to a thread on GFY in his message, that's supposed to hurt GFY how...?

Never meet him in person but he can be a big ass on the board, when he acts like an ass bitching about people or flaming them, then he should expect some in return. If he hadn't been an ass to so many people here, there would call for his unbanning instead of making fun of him.
What goes around comes around. Its KARMA just ask Earl.

He is probably just banned for a couple of days anyway.

very possible...ive had that happen on yahoo IM

also had message delays, some getting the message a day after it was sent <shrugs> :2 cents:

Maybe I missed something, but was he banned for something?

Yes, it was an ICQ glitch. He didn't intentionally message everyone on his list multiple times. It locked up the first time he tried to send it... his list has over 600 people on it and that's a known ICQ mass messaging error.

And FYI: Everyone on his list is someone he has talked to at some point in time, added him, and not just a harvested list of people he doesn't know.

Mine must have went to you then. :winkwink:

I dont' think I've ever talked to Headless - he wasn't on my ICQ list. My ICQ number appears in my sig so that's probably where he got it from :thumbsup

I hate it when I miss shit - guess I will go search for some headdy drama :)

I just wanna know was this drama pre planned or did you guys come up with it on the fly? It's pretty good. Spamtastic actually.

bingo.....

I've known Headless on the boards for at least 5 or 6 years. He's always been an ass, but I never took his BS seriously. He was always helpful when it really mattered.

I don't see the reasoning behind the decision to ban him other than it being a ploy to increase page views for which I congratulate all the parties involved.

Oh, shit! His new fake nick is already kicking in. :1orglaugh

Edit:
And it's already banned :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

This is exactly how I have viewed TexasDreams since he got the job.

I like Headless' radio show, his persona on GFY is just in good fun, and only got one ICQ from him yesterday.

I hope you guys know that sometimes when I act bitchy and whiny i don't always mean it, right? I am actually pretty shy and quiet in person! I doubt you'd believe it until you met me in person, though. Same with Headless. His personality on GFY is just that, an online personality.


As far as why his show url got banned, I don't completely get it but who am I to say anything about it. I would just recommend to do all you can to get in good with GFY again. This board is pretty fair as far as I can tell :-)

I agree on RRRED with this, headless made a bad judgement call, it happens to the best of us. He has his moments but i think he's a pretty decent guy.

btw.. I often get spam ICQ messages from people I have talked maybe once like 2-3 years ago, pointing to a GFY thread about some promotion or big announcement... I dont see those people being banned... and some are well known GFYers... :2 cents:

What was the big news anyway?

i agree with you rrred , i have gotten "icq spams" directly linking to gfy many times , and i wasnt that offended, a few times that i was i said " hey take me off your list if your going to send mass spam like that ) I get a little offended when i get "mass icq's" like that because if you want me as a client your going to have to talk to me personally, but if its a bannable offense theres about a dozen other who qualify

Headless spamedd a bunch of ICQ addresses I think.

I just feel left out though since I never got spammed.

Oddly enough I am signed up with him to get those notifications and I didn't get one. Meanwhile others got a few.

Is that what this is about. You got more then 1 ICQ message from him? If I am not mistaken isn't that list opt in?

i didnt opt in to anything , but i only got 1 icq and he is already on my list

Ahh ok. I wasn't sure if it was for his radio show announcement or not. I missed the drama today and was just trying to get caught up.

Personally I don't care for his radio show, I've listened to it a few times and I don't like it (and I've got a pretty messed up sense of humor myself) too many racist remarks that aren't funny IMHO, BUT I do know he gives alot of promos to GFY and shouldn't be hated on b/c some MODS have a beef with him or whatever it may be.

People fuck up, we ALL do it (if you've never fucked up, please raise your hand so we can say you're full of shit) and he got defensive about his show just like any one of us would do if it were any of us, I admit it was a bit over dramatic (by far) but that's Headless period, you may not like him for whatever reason, but if he's promoting the board then there's no point in banning him for promoting his show on the board in his sig etc.

It also may be a good reference to find out exactly how much traffic he has sent to the board and if it's not worth it, then make a formal decision.

my :2 cents:

I tend to agree with RRRED. I didnt get any ICQ that I know of, and yes Headless makes drama and pseudo-bitch threads a good deal. But I do think that most people who've been around a while know them for what they are.

I would support an un-banning with no problems because he's a good guy when you get down to it I'd say.

I remember being a guest on his old radio show when Sandra was on there too. I think in general he fits in well with the forum theme of "Fucking Around & Program Discussion".

I think a message of dont do it again is hammered home pretty deep by now :)

do a little dance :banana
give a little bump :banana
get down tonight :banana

:)

Unban him thats wjhat I say if people got it 3 times was probrably an error in ICQ as it was sending it and it started over from the top or something HEY IT HAPPENS software glitches

rrrreeeddd

marry me

It's actually no effort at all to shit on Headless it's next to impossible to miss him with a turd. :thumbsup

In my opinion, what would have been a very small problem that would have quickly passed was made into a very large problem by the way Headless reacted. Had he simply said, "Sorry about that. I understand your decision to ban my URL and hope the ban is someday lifted." the problem would have quickly passed. But instead he made a big ordeal out of it. He fucked himself.

What he said.

Everyone needs to bitch now and then, esp. if they feel f**ked over - but he went on a tirade, ad nauseum, that was basically a temper tantrum ... over and over and over and over ...

Hard to be supportive of someone when they act like a child.
