Let's go over the facts, and anything that may be relevant to the case. Then we can use deductive reasoning to solve the mystery.
Please correct me if any of the facts here are erroneous.
-All of the old FTU forums were simultaneously shut down.
-They were apparently shut down for violating the ToS
-Peter's account was globally banned.
I guess I'll update this when we get more/newer facts.

Has anyone done a survey to see precisely which forums were deleted? A complete list would be good. |

I made another thread about this, I'll see what I can do. |

I. PERSONAL ABUSE
II. SUBPOENA/COURT ORDER
III. POSTING OF ILLEGAL MATERIAL
VI. DIRECT LINKING/BANDWIDTH THEFT
VII. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
VIII. UNAUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTION OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
IX. VIOLATIONS OF PRIVACY
Section II doesn't seem to be very relevant to the boards destruction, however, while all the others could qualify, and likely qualify for all of the boards in question (except perhaps the privacy one). |

Luckily, Spamdini is a hero, so it doesn't matter (as much). Still, the timing is kind of strange. |

Is there any indication that Peter's banning is related to the forum deletion? |

The timing is strange! And it's weird if it's one incident, because all of the boards were implicated in it.
Maybe Derrick Psaros complained about Peter using his picture? |

It's strange that they say it was a privacy thing, considering that those complaints have to be submitted by the person in question. And the person in question was generally an FTU poster. |

I am 99.9<sup>1,000,000,000</sup> certain that Derrick Psaros was not involved.
Theldorrin is very interested in this for someone who said yesterday that he wanted it all deleted! |

I like mysteries!
Although to be honest, I don't really care so much about most of the content lost, and it's unlikely that I'd even reread the worst human ever contest.
One thing about this mystery is how it could accidentally be my fault, or your fault, or any number of people's faults, which is a bit disconcerting.
I hope you guys won't get pissed off if it turns out that some person who was posted in a cosplay thread complained, and that the picture of that fellow was posted by Magic Juan (for example). |

We've already gone over how the HTML support is awful.
I guess we could fix that. |

I will only be upset if someone did it on purpose.
So much stuff was already destroyed that this is kind of anticlimactic, but I really wish I had at least saved the Cold Room and FAGGY FAGGY from Uncensored2. |

We will never get a specific answer from ezboard, for legal reasons, and the possibilities are far too diverse to narrow it down.
Having said that, the cosplay thread angle is good thinking though. Real good thinking!
All it would take is an image hotlink, and somebody checking their referrers, and then reading our abusive comments, and bam. Under the privacy thing, the TOS could be interpreted in such a way that any picture of any human is a privacy violation.
It would actually be poetically appropriate if our ultimate destruction came about due to the complaints of an anime faggot.
Full circle! |
