When Did INGO Change?

[MCgrease08]

Missing amongst some twigs and berries.

That was Andy's pistol, not Jeremy's IIRC.

Shortly after that was the JetGirl/Que debacle. I think that was really the tipping point when the Jocks (Mods) started to realize that the nerds outnumbered them and they couldn't run the halls of INGO doing whatever they pleased. Fenway sold the site to Texkev shortly after that, and a lot of the problem mods soon followed. Churchmouse was appointed a Mod, and I credit him with the majority of the housecleaning that took place. We teased him about being a bully, but he was far from it. He was the opposite. He was the one who stood in the gap and didnt take **** from the ones who really were the bullies.

CM made it a point that things were going to be different, and he set out to do just that.

Interesting conspiracy theories...

Man, I read some of the Jeremy thread, I had forgotten how ridiculous that was. “Tactical internet takedown”, Lol.

This is a much better place now, much better.

Jeremy is one of the few that I miss from back then.

The Mouse made INGO a better place.

Worth repeating

Times change, people change. INGO changes with the times and the people.

From conversations I had with Churchmouse over the years, INGO needed to make a change.

I remember a while back a site that was mostly ex-INGOers folded and they came back here. None were around long IIRC.

I miss CathyInBlue, 88GT, and JetGirl…

As Hannibal Lecter said to Clarice Starling: “The world is far more interesting with you in it.”

All joking aside, I wish they would come back.

The olive branch was extended. I know CM tried a couple times. JetGirl came back for a day or 2 to check in. They do not want to come back. Can’t say I blame them after the way they were treated by the staff at the time.

I had a run-in with a moderator (who shall heretofore go nameless) that cost me a Perma-ban. Nine months later thanks to Churchmouse and company I was reinstated. Contrition on my part helped but yes, some of the moderators back then were pretty heavy-handed.

 

[Sigblitz]

I remember JetGirl coming back a couple years ago.

Some of us were on there with the shooters.
For the record, I'm not an ex shooter.

Yep.

I think I tried that one out. There reason for existence was to be censorship-free. And everyone seemed to make a point of that by being mean and foul-mouthed, As all such experiments go, it was a really unpleasant place. If you want to hear someone talk like that, just listen to a bunch of 17 year olds trying to sound "grown up."
