Just checked. They are working on it. 21st and Studio-B accounts are still working, I'm sure others are too. The site is accessible but if your account has been closed, you can't log in. It was nice to see that all the troll accounts had been closed, even though I know that was just part of a general clean up, not specifically directed at them.
We will either have to register again, or our accounts will start working again. If we have to register again, that means our records are lost. Bummer.
Thanks Mike. You were not a day too soon.

I am not sure how they could go around the captcha, as far as I understand, it's rather complicated to do, you either need to hire lots of Indians that would solve it for you (it works for some captchas at least) or apply some complicated algorithms to solve it automatically but if it's possible, then this captcha is not worth anything.
They made mistakes. First, they should know that the mole is is member. Hari even bragged about his Indians he had called off for the sites brief respite. I don't think he controls them, but he is their way in. They should have deleted the hari account. (And his sockpuppets)
Second, people who stayed logged in all the time, did not need to do the captcha. They had permanent access. Till today I could access the site without having to do any captcha.
They need a web admin. Either bite the bullet and get it done, or give up on the domain for now. Bots lose interest after some time. But closing all accounts means they finally are serious about fixing the spam problem.

@Lunatic
Most of your post is just your opinion, which is fine, but I have the tangible record of DDO to support my point. Airmax did not ban people who were virulently toxic. The politics and religion boards were feeding frenzies of trolls. We are seeing the results now.
Take my challenge. DDO is still open. Go there and tell me if you think hari or bully were not ban-able behavior. If you would allow such behavior here, then we are lucky you aren't mod. Airmax would not have banned rational madman. Even at 10 times as offensive.
Anyone who knows me knows I don't care about insults. My problem is with posters who disrupt debate. Insult me all you want, just include some content. These people have no content. They only insult, the never debate. I'm here to debate.
We don't need to agree on Airmax. You like him, fine. I don't think he was a good mod. I do not need to justify that to you. And I would not divulge private conversations jus because you ask for them.
I'm glad Mike isn't him. I like this site. If you think Max is so great, go there. The site is still functioning.

There are many phones that can do all the i-phones can do for hundreds of dollars less. What justifies that expense? I know the value of a smart phone, what explains so many paying so much more for the same product?

For a guy interested in theism, the underlying theistic theme (witness!) was first crazy, then heartbreaking, and then uplifting.
The movie was great from start to finish, and the female characters were strong without having to give up their femininity.
As soon as he ate the geko in the beginning, I knew it was going to be a great movie.

@Smithereens
ethang is from the religious forum and was regularly triggered by the atheists who would reply to his posts "trolling" him. He complained to Airmax expecting him to ban them and ofc Airmax didn't. Cue present circumstance.
I challenge anyone to go there and check the posts of bully, or hari, or look at willows 15 flame posts a day and tell me if they would want that here.
You tell us Smithereens, would hari's behavior be acceptable to you as Mod? Yes or no?

This site has an owner who seems ready to be the head mod. We do not need Airmax.
Airmax was as biased as they came. It wasn't the spam that killed DDO, it was the trolls. Airmax was alerted to their horrendous abuse and he decided to do absolutely nothing about it.
Not only that, but was generally snippy with people who were concerned about it. For years he stood by as the site died from neglect and trolls, and spent his time with his crew making movies about how terrible the religion board was.
If Mike wasn't the same future as DDO, he can bring Max here. As soon as he is here as mod, trolls like dee, willows, bully, and hari, will know they will not be limited at all and they will infect the site.
Already bully is here paving the place with his stupidity. You can have that. This site has done fine without Airmax. Let him stay at the site he made. We're fine.

Everything will be nice and peaceful when Islam is the law.I'm sorry I cannot agree with you. . The evidence to the contrary is overwhelming and doesn't take too long or great effort to research.
Sorry, to the "when Islam is the law" I should have included, "when sharia law is imposed and the population is 100% Muslim, and it is against the law to not be Muslim.
Then....everything will be peaceful. Liberals are working towards this end, be patient you Dutch cousins.

And this site would become the dump DDO currently is. He would instantly form a little clique and let moron trolls run wild.
We will not sit by an watch you guys bring here to Dart exactly what we ran away from at DDO.
Max is welcome, but certainly not as Mod. We know his record, and would like something a little better for this site.

"Free healthcare" does not exist.
The thread did not ask for what exists. Are you trying to be silly? If so, please do so on your own.
If a country provided healthcare to under 12's out of the country's wealth, it would be free for the under 12's.
You were proposing a tax-funded healthcare system for those aged below 12, which is referred to as a universal healthcare system.
No Erma, I was not. I know what I proposed. You don't. My proposal had nothing to do with tax. Take iron ore out of the ground? Or get profits from foreign tourism? Use the proceeds to pay for free health care of under 12's.
I've answered you several times. That you aren't bright enough to get it is really not my problem.My primary question pertains to why you believe that young children should receive tax-funded healthcare, and not people belonging to any other age groups.

You did not say I said, "i-phones are all hype." You said I said, "smart phones are all hype." That is what you do. You lie.
I did not say anything was a fad, I asked if the phenomenon with i-phones was a fad. This is what you do, when confronted with your lies, you tell another lie.
Now. Forget the lying. Just address the topic if you can. And if you want to mention what I said, quote me.

Don't let members vote Mike, that will fail. Trust me. Pick them your self.
Give them a probationary period where there only function will be to report problems or potential problems to you. They cannot contact members as a mod or identify as mod.
After you are satisfied, elevate them to mod who can receive member complaints and give warnings, but cannot change posts, threads, or member status.
The advantage of this is that you can start right now. One mod can watch several threads until we have more.
I have someone who would be excellent but will PM you on that. You were on DDO for a while, so you will have some idea of the trolls there. They.will.kill.your.site.
One of them is already here spreading his stink, and was on DDO threatening to come here and troll.

Hey troll, buy a clue.
I did not speak to you when you were the troll bulproofon DDO, why would I waste my time with you here? You're the same troll.
I gave you a chance and told you that unless you started to have content in your troll posts, I would ignore you. You said you didn't care. I have ignored you, and you chased me all over DDO trying to get my attention. You have now chased me to another site.
I thought you didn't care? Stop being a troll. That is all you need to do. Everyone stopped speaking to you on DDO because you are a troll. The same thing will happen here as people find out you are vacuous.
OK. You're back on ignore, and you may continue chasing me and yapping at my heels.
But remember the party van.

The majority of developed countries, including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, have universal healthcare. Therefore, why is it that you believe it to be unfeasible?
If you don't know why we can't provide free healthcare for everyone, nothing I say will help you. You don't have to believe this, but you can understand it right?
There is no valid reason to oppose tax-funded healthcare, especially when other countries operate with this system successfully.
My post opposed nothing. It was for something. You took that to mean it opposed your social justice pet cause of the day.
I said free health care, not universal health care. The topic said "unpopular". You seem not to like it. Job done.

1.) I am not a man.
I don't care. It was a figure of speech.
2.) You have yet to explain why we cannot provide free healthcare for everyone.
No I don't. If you don't know why we can't provide free healthcare for everyone, nothing I say will help you.
Now, why is it that the taxpayer should *only* fund healthcare for those below 12?
Because it can't do more. You can read right?
Why should other age groups be exempt from the benefits of their money?
Their money has more benefits than just healthcare.
But you are aware of the thread title right? I hope you aren't one of those ultra progressive snowflakes with zero sense of humor.

Suicide is not enough
Fear in my mothers’ eyes, I want to tell her“no mama, you’d still have the memories of me”
it isn’t an end but an undoing I desire
suicide is not enough
take away the old photos, take away the old clothes
to the question “Do you have any brothers?”
if only my brother could say, “No.”
erase me. erase me
take away the footprint made in wet cement in ‘89
the tree I carved your name into, along with the memory, chop down
till I can cause no innocent to cry,
till I can cause no pure heart to bleed
till I am less than phantom, less than thought
erase me, erase me
Open the top of their heads and scrub all recollection
for he cannot be recalled, who never was
leave no blemish of me, no stain
erase me
Till the stench no longer lingers
after the latent image fades
till even God says “who?”
suicide is not enough

And doing this makes you understand the answer better even though it is exactly the same response. I see. Well this is what causes circular arguments. One person will insist on restructuring or just plain asking the same soddin question over and over again, and the other will just get entirely peed off and wonder is the questioner thick,( I don't think you are: at the moment anyway) or just being plain awkward for the hell of it and a bit of attention.
You will get to know him. He will just keep asking questions till you figure out his ...........problem.

This is absurd. If children under the age of 12 are granted free medical care, other age groups should be as well.
Think man. We cannot give free health care to everyone. And we certainly cannot give free health care to everyone at the exclusion of all other costs.
So under 12 is a pragmatic compromise.

Is separation of church and state a one-sided thing, something that only religious people can violate?In case it wasn't clear in my answer above, my answer to this is no. Separation of church and state is separation of state and church.
Could you give us one real life, recent example of when nonreligious people violated this separation?

Do you own an i-phone? Let me guess, you got it by choice right? It had nothing to do with a fad.

Every child under the age of 12 should have free medical care. Period. No money should be spent on anything else till the medical problems of under 12's have been addressed.

You brought up holes, and you brought up shapes.
If you do not think people have God shaped holes, my question was, why do they seem to believe they do? They keep trying to plug up those holes with God shaped stoppers.
