Well From what I been reading from these posts I see alot of member bashing going around and to me that is making the board unprofessional looking yes, people are having problems with this name being on the forums. Will that change anything it most likly will but spamming going off topic and member bashing will not change anything.Everyone has made their point yes and no the word S**t is bad, ha... read more.
Is this forum name for real or has the forum been hacked? If so, isn't it a breach of the TOS? (And before any mods fire off a warning to me - check the name of the forum containing The Vent.) I was wondering that as well. It's hardly a good idea to put expletives in the forum of a website that hosts professional free web hosting.
I think it is safe to say the forum has been hacked. I can't see OpaQue allowing something like this, he is much more professional than that.
no the site has not been hacked OpaQue did add that to the site, I talk to him about it. Best thing to do is say you don't like that being on the forums and opaque will most likly change it.
Well I certainly think it is a step in the wrong direction. I thought he was trying to keep a high standard for the forums, no spam posts, quality posts and all the rest. A forum name like that does not convey that sort of message at all.
I'm not fussed about the word itself but more about the lack of consistency. As Avalon says, can't expect people to stick to rules if they see admins or mods breaking them.
What OpaQue should do is edit the same to something like
QUOTE Trapped in Shat or something like that. I mean it makes more sense and such, and does not use the "bad" words.
Do not take this in the wrong way but it is his forum though he can do what he wants, but yeah changing the word would be most appropriate due to the age range we have and the good standards and practices we want on this forum as well.
I thought www.trappedinshit.com was for real. It didn't work though. But it's kindda weird. Why the name?
Avalon, please refrain from assuming right away the forums have been "hacked", it might scare some people.
Because in fact, OpaQue did actually do this, here's his post in a topic I created; QUOTE The name does have a bit of profanity in it, but when I asked to other people, they all found it very Catchy and funny! I hope, they take it in that way. www.trappedinshit.com is in progress and will be soon pointing to our little vent forum With such negative feedback I'm sure he'll probably change it. Latest Entries
Well From what I been reading from these posts I see alot of member bashing going around and to me that is making the board unprofessional looking yes, people are having problems with this name being on the forums.

Everyone has made their point yes and no the word S**t is bad, having it seen on the forums that can be both good and bad depending what the plan is for this website and whatnot. But it seems to me that this topic is way out of bounds for what supposed to be posted here and thats your thoughts about what should happen about this subject and not stuff unrelated to it, So for now this topic is closed. Also everyone is now warned that any member bashing will get you a warning increase. And TrueFusion bring it on, I will never give up this post, until the topic is locked or I'm banned from Trap17 Yay, just like me, cept for the part of me bringing it on to myself Seeing that, you dont mind to be bugged by me, havent placed me in any category, and that you agree with the comments that are the works of the hands of NDPA, i'm guessing you dont mind if i comment on them, but direct it to you. (If my guess is wrong, then i'll kindly edit this post, with proof that it's wrong, of course First off, i'm not against the people. The people, dont all agree, equally. Second, if i have done something wrong, then please, report me, with a supporting case. Also, many things said here, can go both ways. I thought i had created enough reasonable doubt, but i see i havent. QUOTE So, I think that what should be done at the very least is to only show that forum to registered members (which I know is possible, I've seen it done with phpBB so surely IPB must support that), so that potential customers (and Trap17's biggest refferer) won't go bye-bye right away. Nice alternative! But, unfortunately, some people wouldnt care if it's hidden away from "guests", anyway. It's the principle, after all. And, this topic would also have to be hidden from "guests".
It's only fair that I add my 2 cents, before every single member posts here. I think that it is a little strange of OpaQue to create that new forum name. I wonder what Free-webhosting.com would think about that name.

I mean, just think about it: a new visitor comes to the site. He sees "Trapped in ****". He thinks, "This is Web hosting?" And there he goes, looking for another host, potentially causing you to lose money he might have paid at Computing Host if he didn't want the free hosting of Trap17, or needed to go on vacation for a while. So it all boils down to this: Use the word, lose the money. And I am fed up with truefusion always contradicting everyone else's posts. It's like he thinks he's always right and everyone else is wrong. The kind of attitude that SHOULD be banned. So I am concluding by saying: * I am completely against the use of the new name for the vent. * Truefusion is obviously against the people. * I am not posting in this topic anymore, seeing how I am always contradicted, and have no care for any opinions my opinions may have caused. So don't bug me anymore! I due argree on these points of view, and NDPA if you think no one is backing you up, I'm here standing behind your statements. Ok forget if its a bad word or not, we can't use the word *BLEEP* as a forum name, it totally makes us un-professional and takes away everything from the TOS and means nothing to some people. The word *BLEEP* should not be used like this, not all are lives are that bad and the forum the And TrueFusion bring it on, I will never give up this post, until the topic is locked or I'm banned from Trap17
Well the only reason I'm still here is because I have nowhere else to go if I lose my site... the coding it requires is so valueable that I would soon have to pay MILLIONS if I did not use a dedicated host like this.

Obviously there are a rare few that do...
