Found this thread odd: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/kier-and-the-travails-of-spacebattles-com.66717/ Especially considering Brogan shut it down instead of just moving to off topic. As far as I know, if you run a forum and make forum software you should take care of both and both reflect on you. If your members start over flowing into your other business then maybe you should handle it instead of just censoring people?
From what I read before, from Kier saying it I think? Don't think Spacebattles forum was doing well for a long time, and Kier only kept it going because of the other person involved in running it. Anyway, I thought that forum was hosted on same server as XenForo.com at one point? As for Brogan locking it, and Kier not replying himself to the topic on XenForo. I'm really not surprised one bit. I've said it before, I'll say it again - Kier is Brogan, his anon alias used to hide behind on XenForo. Why do you think after all the games Brogan played before on other Admin sites, calling Kier and dropping silly cryptic hints about things to keep people talking about XenForo - he still got his job back later at XenForo when they won the court case. You lot are easily fooled and Brogan (is Kier) locking that topic.
I also thought the thread was odd, but, when you know where the absent admin is it does make sense to try to shake the tree. I'm hoping he is too busy with xenforo to have time to work on Space Battles.
He probably should have contacted Kier in private, although that thread shouldn't have been closed so quickly. Anyway, can't dispute it. Definitely agree with this though:
Not sure why people are surprised when Kier goes MIA for months at a time. This is standard operating procedure for the guy. He's an excellent coder and a terrible communicator. It was the same stuff when he worked at vBulletin -- short periods of communication followed by months of radio silence.
Something tells me he doesn't own it. He doesn't appear he owns the domain at least. I don't get why he insists on ignoring issues and letting them grow more frustrating for people.
I don't either. The email I sent went to the domain owner listed on the whois page. That was over a year ago when I sent it.
