Thread: What's happened to all the uploaders? (like wickerwolf and johncccccc)

Well, I have noticed that some of PS2Iso's major uploaders like wickerwolf and johncccccc are gone or rather to be exact "banned". Others like Zagrom and zeronline87 for instance were active the last time about 2 weeks ago, which is about the same point of time when the afore-mentioned uploaders were banned.... (at least according to their public profiles)

As curious as I am I'm wondering if that has something to do with the crash that occured recently. Or rather I would really love to know what exactly happened.

If this is some internal issue which is not be discussed then I apologize in advance for starting this. However, I would appreciate it very much if some of the involved people could shed some light on this matter.

Thanks a lot in advance.

those 2 were banned for starting their own site jonhccc and wickerwolf

I wasn't here at the time but, I don't belive they where banned for starting their own site.
They where probably banned for spamming about it or something like that.

meh in any case they are gone, no use crying over spilled milk

Uploaders have their own businesses to take care of. They are active today, they might be gone tomorrow we never know. If you want to know the reason why they haven't been active lately, why don't you send them a PM. I'm sure they will reply when they read it.

It was advertising the site on the boards. As time goes by, i am becoming more surprised that their threads are actually still here (especially, and most importantly, their download threads). I mean, according to the rules of the boards, people aren't supposed to use links if the original creators can or may object to their use... but if the party is banned, how are they supposed to object? And, since it seems to create issues, it makes sense (at least to me).

I have no problem with the help threads they created staying open. It's not like those of us here don't know how to assist people with their problems in said threads...

Just my thought on the whole issue.

The site reverting to October didn't help any.

It was like a soap opera.
I think it all started with johncccccc pm'ing people about the new site (???????ISO.com). The reason for banning him was advertising and/or starting a site that has ISO in its name. I'm not too clear about that or their discussion of the forum rules. Flame war ensues.

I had to go to the new site to keep up with the flame war. The banned members re-register here & admins from here signed up on the new site just to continue the argument. The usual whenever big contributors/mods defect or get banned: betrayal, threats, David vs Goliath etc. One big messy divorce.

wickerwolf requested that all his contribution be removed.
johncccccc doesn't care & since his uploads are on RS, he's probably collecting points?
Some sympathesizers withdrew their threads & joined the new site. Others left their threads but no longer maintain them.
Other uploaders probably are members on both (the more downloads the better).
Still other uploaders might have moved on because of the HDD crash.

Oh well, life goes on.

that pretty much sums it all up
