Fair enough. I guess I will have to wait a few days to confirm then. People have been talking about how Mussels misbehaved, and it involves questionable pictures (presumably of W1zzard), after that I have no details :/

Yeah you just never know when those Aussies are gonna go off the deep end. It's not even a matter of if. They all live down on their own island continent-a former prison colony-for a reason!

Well, if Mussels was truly banned, why hasn't w1zzard post in this thread yet? Made a comment?

Kreij · Apr 1, 2011

I don't know how many of you go very far back with TPU, but this is not the first time a moderator was removed from "active duty" due to problems.

Anyway, As far as the April Fools stuff goes, I'm thinking it may be wise to strap yourself in.
I have no idea what W1zz is up to, but he is a Master at almost everything he sets his mind to do.

Because internal matters aren't commented on. That's why the other mods have been very vague here.

Kreij · Apr 1, 2011

If you re-read the thread, W1zz did post an explaination.

Or the fact that it's taken 3+ mods to say the exact same thing.

Coincendental? Or a conspiracy!

Sounds more like you're all in it and are all trying too hard, which is ultimately giving you away!

CDdude55 · Apr 1, 2011

lol, was wondering why the hell fudzilla kept coming up.

streetfighter 2 · Apr 1, 2011

It took some hunting (because I don't GN much) but the reason why Mussels was deep-sixed from Black Panther:
http://www.generalnonsense.net/showpost.php?p=114489&postcount=6

I came to TPU because I'm rather fond of W1zzard's work. I'm not bothered by the result of this dispute between W1z and Mussels, even if I view the outcome to be unfavorable for the community. I don't do drama. :pimp:

Easy Rhino said:
seriously? if he is one of your favorite posters you may need to seek medical advice before you have a breakdown as well.

I'll take that under advisement

Reviewing his posting history I find it marred with disturbingly poor punctuation, but otherwise quite helpful, occasionally cantankerous and often besieged.

that is true. all of their DNA shows how horrible they are as a people. a bunch of inbred criminals! you can't dilute that kind of gene pool easily.

We're just making real sure Mussels doesn't become a martyr, that there's no drama like the last time we banned "popular" people, by playing down the whole issue.

If you like to believe Mussels' ban is a joke played on you, be my guest till 3/31/2012.

No, we are trying to get people to do this ... READ -> COMPREHEND -> POST.

I'm not in on anything and that's the honest truth.

Hmmmm, I'll hold my tounge, or, typing... For now and see how this plays out, seems like a lot of fun or possibly sadness.

ZenZimZaliben · Apr 1, 2011

Are you saying he was responsible for the Domain issue?

btarunr · Apr 1, 2011

No, our domain is safe. We're giving Fudzilla the publicity of its lifetime.

There was a disagreement among the staff as to the direction TPU should go in the future. Mussels was.... passionate... in his arguments. Just remember it's best to be constructive rather than destructive when when disagreeing with someone.

That's more than you really need to know, but since a lot of you are fond of mussels I thought it best to let you in on at least that.

brandonwh64 · Apr 1, 2011

i dont know what you guys are pulling but mussels is logged on and viewing a thread ATM, if he was banned he would not be able to do this. what i think is going on is that his avatar was taken off and they changed hi title to banned.

You don't. WE (regular mods) are being vague and just telling you what we can.
We don't comment on the details of internal matters. That includes any infractions for any member, whether staff or not.

Wrong, a banned member can still log in and view threads.

Who volunteers as a test subject?

It's sad that after such a long time Mussels had to leave, I'd appreciate if this doesn't continue to be dragged into the discussion.
