To tell you truth, I couldn't care leas about him and have no axe to grind, but I continue to be insulted by the double standard and corruption on these forums. There is not another person on these forums who gets as much flack as I do for the mistakes I've made, and Theymos (as he has twice) would waste no time theowing a scammer tag down (what was it, 20 second record last time I pissed him off?), yet it's been a whole day now and not a peep from dear leader. Forgive me for allowing myself to be emotional about something on the internet, but passion is what drives me, and once I learn that my role models, teachers, or offenders are worse than me, it is a bit of a wake up call to rise up and crush these false prophets.

There is no way I'm not going to start another forum project now, and not because I'm delusional or think I'll be particularly perfect and flawless, but because I know myself and what I would do if I were Theymos, and it wouldn't have been to ignore criticisms and stay in power all this time despite corruption, insider trading, theft and broken promises to the community. The disgust has reached a boiling point. I don't dare test the cultists by calling for anyone to "GTFO", but rather I should strive to build something where even I in all my flawed nature cannot possibly fuck it up this badly.

I personally have never had a problem with this forum. There have been scammers and such but thats life. Tho I do agree with Matt that something should be done or said. No mods posting is just pissing more people off. This could of been solved in less then an hour. Simply saying yes its true or no its false. Either way it would be done and solved instead you have users arguing about it and loosing trust in this forum.

I have my own feelings and beliefs to base my actions on, but my reasoning for starting a new forum will be to provide a place where this kind of thing simply cannot happen. It will be challenging, but this pseudo-decentralizing community needs to start realizing just how much influence people have on everything from the price of their bitcoins to the opinions they hold. It's time for a platform that doesn't need Theymos, or accusations against Garr, or advertising money from bfl, and eventually won't need me either.

I deserve it, this community deserves it, the internet deserves it.

+1 if you need help id love to help with a decentralized site. It will be hard but interesting

I've heard about the $25k he's holding but only through some posts here now - are there any other older forum posts that document this? Just curious about it, really.

@Matthew

It's been less than 24h, maybe he is looking into it or busy with something else, I don't think people will forget it until it is resolved so a bit more waiting shouldn't hurt.

No offense to BFL or you but people have been complaining about BFL advertising on the forum. Nothing was solved as far as I know.
