No problems U-31, what really made me laugh is when and why Karlos closed the thread!

I mean, despite arguing, I thought we were all being civil to each other

Yeah Dr. Who Dat? Is a hip-hop producer. He's pretty damn good. I like his music a lot but really i just believe the name is pretty cool. I get mistaken for a saints fan a lot though. I use the name on some other sites and maybe one other person has been able to correctly identify it.

29.12.2011		I've thought about this for a while and here's my take on it.

As DJF started to have problems, very little, if any, information was forthcoming about what was really going on and what, exactly, the powers that be there were doing about it.

Anybody that had the audacity to ask was immediately shot down in flames by either the mods or other users that may, or may not, have had a bit of inside info.

Since then, many DJF people have found there way here or to the new site set up - Djsyndicate (see top of page 56 for a link).

Others have been visiting the 2 Facebook pages relating to DJF (see page 12 for the links).

The only people who have not found their way to these places appear to be the mods/powers that be at DJF to either explain what happened or what is in the pipeline.

It seems to me that they have complete disdain for all the users yet, if they resurrect the site, will hope that people go back to it.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed DJF, but their lack of interest and, at the time, down right arrogance, in the way they treated members, makes me wonder if they deserve anyone to go back.

This community has been very accommodating to all the DJF members and get my respect and loyalty for that

Hell, I've even found out since I've been here that I'm a sexist! (I won't be posting any more jokes again! LOL)

After a little longer we got her a few things she likes and she warmed up to us and was friendly. That's like the new CDJ/Vinyl subcommunity .

Now she's a full on cat that goes outside and everything. Give it some time and I believe some of the refugees will be active members.

29.12.2011		also this thread is a good place to stay in touch with all the members from over there. some don't use the same name as on DJF and it might cause some troubles recognizing people we know

Dude, I'm in the same boat. I used to lurk over there ("Don Draper") and picked up some tech 1210s at a great price. I spent hours and hours going over their 'show your setup' threads when I first started spinning. Good times.

There were some characters over there, too. I do appreciate the djranking s approach, though. More business-like and seems to be less riffraff.

26.12.2011		Happy holidays everyone! As 2012 draws near, it appears that DJF won't be resurrected... So no hardcore holiday trolling, peeps.

Anyone have some great gigs to show for the time since DJF went away?

That thread was there, but quite a few years back

And I have some patience, actually I enjoy getting more time for myself. All good things come to those who wait. Till then, djf is still alive. Actually,

23.12.2011		It's mostly down to the mods appreciation. I also got banned for posting a picture outside of off topic at some point, wasn't even offensive or anything.

I managed once to get into the mods secret hidden community s, and even post there (much to their surprise). Turned out there was a thread there with my name on it, and mods sharing their opinion on me My only regret is that I should have saved the pages or screencap them.

By far, the worst thing I ever did there. Only got me a warning.

I had posted a funny picture (or animated .gif) in a thread about arguing, that contained nudity. (I believe it was even sexually explicit.) The post was deleted so quickly, that the mod who deleted it, was probably the only one who saw it.

The incident ended up on my permanent DJF record. That's why I know the thread was about arguing. (Arguing was in the thread's title.)

You must not have been paying much attention then. Because receiving a warning before getting banned was the exception, not the norm. And the vast majority of members that got banned were brand new members.

I had been a member for a few years (With circled stars.) & got banned for several weeks (I believe it was for 2 months, but I can't remember how long the ban lasted.) without any kind of warning. I just went to the site one day (Earlier this year.) & a message said I had been banned from DJ Forums.com. A couple of days later, when I'd try to go to the site. It looked exactly like it does right now. ("Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".) Checking DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com regularly confirmed that the site wasn't down during the time that I had no access to the site.

To this day, I still have no idea why I was banned. Most likely I gave a political opinion someone didn't like, or one of the pictures I posted in the "Add Your Own Caption" thread offended someone.

I've banned someone on here because I thought it would be funny. He was in on the joke though.

If you want to see a community where the mods are ban happy take a trip over to the OT of club3g.com where the mods can and will ban you just for amusement. It's even in the site rules

offtopic.com was occasionally like that but it was usually provoked. They had the public ban log and it was often amusing to read the moderator comments as to why someone was banned.
