I read something on the forum a few weeks ago that said TSB would be nothing in a few years and spof and Johnny's new site would be the forums to be at. But you have to consider the source it came from, he was the one telling everyone that spof was going to be the biggest and best forum to be at and now look at it. He also said this site would not grow because it's not "open" to everyone but look at which forums are popular and which ones are dead...that should tell the truth.

I wouldn't give a damn other than the stupid remarks I hear ignorant people saying about this forum. That guy tried to make it sound like it's set up like the freemasons and only a "select, special" few can join in on this forum...which we all know is not even remotely close to the truth. There has been one guy not allowed to participate on this forum, that I know of, and we've all seen the damage he does to other forums, but that guy won't let it be. After all that's played out, after the crash and burn of his forum, the fire sale and what we see now, he still thinks he was right and everyone that didn't want a shady guy in the forum was wrong. He, among others claim how smart the guy is but I personally don't see how someone can do what he's done, say what he's said and still be considered a smart guy. There is simply too much evidence to the contrary. And I LOVE talking about this stuff if you can't tell.

To be factual, we have banned more than
seventy five one hundred and fifty spammers and four troublemakers. We have absolutely no compunction against banning anyone who either intentionally disrupts the place, or can't accept the basic tenet upon which this place was founded.
I reference our policy as stated at our humble beginning. (http://www.theshirtboard.com/index.php/topic,247.0.html) Unlike some others, we have not strayed.

Any forum is only as good as the rules the members are held to.
Kudo's to those who do the "holding to the rules" here!

He always acted like the smartest guy in the room but I never seen anything that actually backed that up though. Other than that couldn't care less about him or how his or who ever's forum it is now.

one of my clearest memories of the SPOF, the first forum i joined as a screen printer, was getting "Re-educated" much like my parochial knuckle wacking education on what seemed to be a regular basis.
To that extent i felt it was pretty ironic that the forum title was SP OPEN F given the evolution there.
Please understand that I do not offer this to take a swing at one person, the SPOF was a pretty cool place until there was a ripple emanating in the force.
This new place basically is a coalescence of the best parts of the SPOF and all the gravitational awareness a true open forum has to offer.
may the force keep it that way...please

It's amazing that one or two people can actually make a forum feel pretty "closed".
-
I remember finding SPOF and thinking it had some good (advanced info), before I was playing around in TSF (which I still do and it still has it's place/function). Then I got caught up in life and didn't go to forums very much. Then I came back to an entirely different and dead SPOF.
Ended on DS and incidentally learning what had all gone wrong with SPOF... eventually getting "anonymously" invited to this forum (sorry, I don't have anyone that you guys can directly point the finger to for my presence here. :p )

Reminds me of the accusation against us of "e-blasting" their members (stemming from a client list mailing by one of the partners here which inadvertently listed the recipients)
However, that particular choice was completely discounted in our "How did you hear about us?" poll

Regarding the "open" nature of the board in discussion, if I'm not mistaken there were complaints that some were booted off it when it started to deteriorate about a year and a half ago as this one was picking up steam. Probably more than the four who have been disinvited here. So much for the boast of its "open" nature. It was a strange thing to watch someone sH!t in his own hat, though.

The day I was banned for no reason, and I think was over 1 1/2 years ago, was the last I was back and I told P that in an email. He told me to blame the founders here.
Like anyone could lay blame to Moe, Larry or Curly Joe, lol.

I dont think preston was the only problem.I think there are 1 or 2 more involved that are just as dirty but play it off.

Darryl I agree with your chiding of gossip mongering, but you have to understand that the feelings towards at least one of the newest owners of SPOF run deep and this is at least the third of his forum ventures to apparently fail.
Much like the reported successes of drone strikes or attacks on terrorists, this kind of news brings out a certain pride and even schadenfreude among many here.
Don't forget that it was this guy's antics and business methods that gave us a need to fill, and was the impetus behind the birth of this place.
That said, we also stated in our policy statement that it would not become a magnet for bashing for bashing's sake. Hopefully, threads like this run their course, and fade.
The pokes at P are mere collateral damage in a much bigger war on industry terrorism. Sort of like the property owner of buildings used by the bad guys.

Well said Darryl. Who cares that it is dead. Grow up and move on ladies.

I agree with Frog... this isn't about our-forum-is-better, it's about THAT GUY who deliberately destroyed our original favorite board, TSPMB.com, where most of us met and many of us made a lot of friends, learned a lot and built business networks. The guy is poison to any board he's allowed to post on... and the owners of this board made the wise decision to completely ban him and any mention of his name. TSPMB is still up, and the poison of THAT GUY is so strong, it will never rise again, even though he no longer has anything to do with it.
A little history for those who may not know the depth of all of this... I remember SPOF as having started long ago after certain members of TSPMB were banned for provocative, controversial discussion. (Remember SicGraphix?) The moderators of TSPMB were very tolerant, but when complaints from tender-hearted individuals got too much, I'm sure the pressure to take action was overwhelming. The "open" nature of SPOF was in response to that censorship, but in time those members were so offensive, they were banned from SPOF as well. Business is business, and professionalism trumps free speech when money is on the table and feelings get hurt. SPOF remained popular... a good place to learn... till THAT GUY made a deal with the owners there and drove most of the ones who remembered him and what he did to TSPMB away.
(Also, remember? About that same time SPOF started, a group of us artists started a board called Xlnt Screen Artist's Forum. It was very popular and it's where we met Lemorris, among others. That one got hacked and was never reborn. Lance started one too, but the Facebook-like interface turned a lot of people off, especially those used to the archaic '90s-era forum software of TSPMB)
So THIS forum started round about when THAT GUY came on board SPOF as a member and then he and the SPOF admins began talking crap about this board not allowing them to register. Now he owns the place. So yeah, when we see the SPAM maggots chewing away at the carcass of that once-great forum, allow us a little bit of satisfaction.
NEVER FORGET!

SicGraphix Wow what a blast from the past. Wonder what ever became of that man, he was a bit to much for my tastes but one cannot judge me for that if they knew of his particular humor. You either accepted it or was disgusted with it. Sure made for some epic drama on the old board. Not as much fun as Frogs bottle cap riddles tho.
-
Speaking of the guy, I've talk with him plenty of times and tried to reason with him about his antics on the boards, and his response was I just do cause it gets under there skin..childish yes!!! and that's all I got to say about that knuckle head.
Frog I jab at some the fellers on here at times just to break up what might get long winded, but I still like old P wish things had not gone south, but then again we would not have this forum now would we. I like what you guys are doing here its like a open gated community if you act right ::), sometimes looking back only hurts your neck.

Was SicGraphix the guy that told a newbie to mix ammonia and bleach as a homemade emulsion remover??
I can live some crude humor... but that suggestion bordered on criminal.
To clarify to any persons not aware of the danger... mixing ammonia and bleach produce hydrocloric acid and chloramine vapors which are extremely hazardous... so, don't mix them !!!
-
Ahhhh, TSPMB. The For Sale section was particularly good to me there! I will always remember the positive from there.
SPOF was P's shot at it.
I'm really enjoying TSB. Great content on here ( really, really good content) and I am so glad to see more car art gracing this forum! That was one of the big draws on TSPMB. Just goes to show how the this forum is maturing as the base of interest broadens. Keep it up.

I've known a couple people that suffer from Bipolar disorder... and, that "knuckle head" has the same symptoms.

I don't recall that but yea that's a recipe for disaster. He was well known for creating extremely inflammatory art and on occasion art making humor out of subjects such as pedophilia, rape, 9/11 disaster Jewish holocaust etc. but his best to date was a certain photoshop job with asdf and bill hood showing a bit more than bro love.

Scott is the man.
That's all I know.
Really miss the Xlnt board (I met Jeri and countless others there), and I miss the old TSPMB too, but I find some comfort in the FB group, my FB page and this joint.
That nameless dude came in and burnt down the clubhouse. I got no time for that kinda stuff. I won't forget and we won't be friends. IMO he hurt the growth of all of us...and really didn't care that he did.
It's too bad s_it got broke all over, but folks seem to be doin OK so I'm good.
Scott for President...or at least Intern. :)

Boards are boards in function only. What makes one stand out from another is the purpose and contributions of it's members and how it relates to information sharing and the satisfaction value one gets by participating as a member. The original TSPMB is like Woodstock to me. Nothing can or will ever replace the edginess and pure from the hip style it provided. I don't contribute as much here as I thought I would but that is not to say that I do not find it usefull or interesting. I just find myself less inspired perhaps due to the proliferation of other social medias such as Facebook and Twitter ect.
-
I was pretty unhappy when the whole TSPMB crumbled down especially in the way that it did but in the end it was good for me because at the old board I pretty much kept to the embroidery area. I have met a great number of really good people since being here.

I missed that, but are we talking about Haffenreffer Beer caps with the rebus puzzles? Or Ballantine Ale?

Might have been Mickeys?

I am more than glad that some artist cats are showing up and contributing. I find their perspective on things a breath of fresh air.

Yep, they ran the same puzzles in a few different regional brands. Mine are mostly from Lucky. One member even helped me round out my collection sending me some from Lone Star.
The old forum format was good for not automatically displaying posted answers and spoiling the fun for others. If I do go ahead and do them here, I'll have a new way. Stay tuned.

TSPMB was the old rock and roll of screen print boards, I check back there every once in a blue moon.

Thanks Lemorris, yes this is the new TSPMB like nothing since TSPMB. Let's keep Donnie's bong full of Lemorris air. :D

XLNT3D's board.
Met alot of artist-type friends there.
Learned alot too. ( and for once I wasn't the weirdest guy in the room,lol )
TSPMB, while I wasn't a fan of the format, learned a bunch and met alot of cool folks there as well.
And then came the incident.
Generally, there is a method behind madness, but I guess I'm too dense to see what it was.
Silver lining?
This place.
Cheers.
