=FaRT= Clan New Server Options

[=FaRT= skutaboy]

To all our friendly clans, I would just like to inform you that our new server is up and running: IP = 8.9.11.153:16567

Three map rotation currently set for Mashtuur City, Strike at Karkand & Sharqui Peninsula.

It would be cool if you visited us to help it get established.

Thanks,

=FaRT= skutaboy.

Monkeyfiend, thanks for the thoughtful reply. I agree with the some of your post, although I disagree in some areas. My ultimate goal is to either bring the Fart server down or receive an apology and an unban. Will I ever play on Fart again, of course not, I would not give them the time of day, but I am obviously doing this on principle. I have been very clear on this point. Like I have said, I went out of my way to understand the rules and modify my play to meet those rules. This is evidenced by the post on the Fart forum that was deleted and the change of play on the server that was complimented by a Fart admin. Skutaboy himself thanked me for coming to the forums and posting. I have a copy of that and when I get around to it I will post it on my fart clan website. I have not had time to post another blog entry there because I have been active on your and other forums. I just do not feel like servers should treat people the way I have been treated and I intend to let everyone know the story. People will and have the right to form their own opinions. Not sure why you say the site is down, I was just on it, 34 visits yesterday. If you want to form the opinion that I am the jerk, that is your prerogative, but if you had gone the path I went and still got banned without a warning or kick, I don't think you would feel that your circumstances would warrant the actions of Fart. I will not send people to their server to form their own opinions, because the people that I know and speak with respect my opinion and treat them as fact. I have earned that from my behavior and interactions with people over the years. I disagree that people need a independent source to form their opinions. People watch Fox, MSNBC and the like every day and forum opinions. The fact that no one from Fart has posted a single fact about this issue speaks volumes. Do they have the right to remain silent, of course they do, but to most people that silence implicates their guilt. You can choose to invoke your 5th amendment rights, but how often do you think the innocent remain silent? You can choose to ignore my side of the story, but then you are left with completely making up your own story as the other side refuses to speak. I disagree that sending money to Nigeria is similar as that is a known scam. I liken what happened not as a date, but more like being banned from a public place without a warning for not following "the rules" when you were following the rules or at least making an effort to do so and no one said anything, just never come back. I disagree with their is no bad publicity. Is it good that Toyota is recalling vehicles, no their sales are down. You don't have to just take my word for it, or my posts, look at the facts that I have presented, screen shots, etc.... The facts are not opinions or slanted. Look at all the work Skuta did to reveal my address, do you think it implicates them in any way that they would put my private information on a public board instead of addressing the facts? Seems like more misdirection. Again you can form your own opinion, but it appears rather sleazy and a scare tactic that has in the past used by mafia lawyers to scare off potential jurors, you know reading their address in to the record during jury selection.

Raile, at one point in time I was not only an admin, but a senior admin at the now (somewhat) defunct full contact war. The same stuff went on there that goes on at the Fart server, a few power hungry admins did whatever they wanted to the users because the server was so popular it would never die. At one point I think the Gametracker rank was 3. Then the users banded together, left and the server went bye-bye. I was the number 2 contributor to the community, only behind Johnny Blaze from SWAT. I contributed $50 per month to the community and before the old site went down I had contributed a total of $650. When the server started there was no donations as a private individual was footing the bill. The site is now changed and the donation log has been reset, so if you want proof, I guess I can post credit card receipts with money moved to Paypal. I am more than happy to provide evidence for my statements. Never would I have even dreamed of treating a user like I have been treated. When people broke the rules on our server we warned them and when the regulars were bending the rules a little, I would get in their squads and talk to them on VOIP to understand their issues. I would not have called myself a regular at Fart, but before the ban I was playing there a couple times a week, and from my forum post I was known to the admins. You can ask BF2 players like WookinPaNub and LpUnit about my admin style. The rule was 2 warns to kick, 2 kicks to ban. Not just straight to ban especially if I knew they were making an effort to comply with the server rules. In the post on the Fart forum many people agreed that the Fart rule had a lot of gray area and to just to what they did, in my opinion and the opinion of many people is wrong. I do own (actually rent) web servers, but no public game server.

Skutaboy, I am in Toronto and Calgary often for business, I would be happy to come by and see you if you live by those cities. Maybe I can meet you at a gym that has a boxing ring or MMA octagon, we can settle this the old fashion way. Feel free to come right down the my house, I am sure you will not leave like you came. In my state you are allowed to use lethal force on trespassers. Once you enter the property from the locked automatic front gate, you would be fair game. My house sits back from the road about 300 feet, so I will have ample opportunity to prevent your forward progress. I had the option of keeping my identity hidden, but I do not hide from anyone. It is funny how you had the time to go out and do a whois search and then a google map and then the post a picture of my property, yet my case at Fart is closed, over and done with, you have moved on. If you took just half that time to actually resolve this issue, it could be over and done. Again, Fart's silence speaks volumes. Like I said on another forum, there are 30+ people that I have talked to via Xfire, VOIP, etc, that won't play on the Fart server anymore. I talk to more every day. They are passing the word around too. I was an admin on FCW for 3 years and have lots of BF2 friends and associates. Over 100 in Xfire alone. I have asked them to spread the word and my message will go viral. I just did a google search and fartclan.info is now #4 when you search for "fart clan". I started out at 22, and has moved 18 places in 2 weeks. I will soon be #1 and people will come to my site when searching for your clan before they hit your own site. My plan is working perfectly!

I look forward to continuing the discussion.....
