OK, this is what is up:
Jay owns the site and will continue to do so, that part was the April Fools joke.
Jay, for all the reason he gave, is taking a back seat. I will be helping more with the site.
I have been since the start and will continue to be the primary moderator on the board, i.e don't bother appealing to Jay.
Jay will contribute as he can to both the site and the board.
I have locked the Kahagas/Polejump thread and the I hate Tharpe/NWA Thread. Consider this a universal warning for every one. This isn't a place to bitch and rehash old tops and so forth.
Constructive criticism is welcome, constructive being the key word.
Have a good day.

So, you've taken control and your first act is to take away the ability to be critical of the NWA unless it's constructive with you yourself deeming what is and is not constructive.
It was smart to lock the Kahagas thread because it was simply troll bait by one of your admins and it makes him (And the other two posters in that thread) look bad, I give kudos to that but by locking the Tharpe thread all that is going to happen is Tharpe hate is going to seep into the regular threads and when that happens you're going to have to ban people or let it go. The Tharpe thread was a great solution to the Tharpe hate problem and now it's gone.
As I've said before, I understand Bruce Tharpe pays attention to you and you feel you're friends with the guy but you can't just censor the people who don't like him. The hate isn't going to stop, you've got people who have personal beef with him (Brooklyn, Fred, Varlese, the guy he blocked on FB who posts here etc) and you've got people who think he's terrible for the product like myself. You can't simply censor a majority of your members simply because you like Bruce and the attention he gives you.

That's the boards work. People establish boards, they establish rules for their the boards, they interpret the rules, they and anyone assigned enforce the rules. This is the same as coming to a place of business or a house. You don't like the way things are or the rules or me, nobody is putting a gun to your head and making you post here or read the posts that are here.
You come here, you break the rules, you insult people in the business you don't know, you insult people who disagree with, you call names, you cry when people do the same to you and try to make yourself a victim like you did in the post above.
This is for everyone, you have an issue with how I operate the board, send me a private message.
Considering how little is posted in the other topics, i wonder if anyone here actually likes or follows wrestling.

So now it's "Be positive or there is the door". If you don't allow different opinions on the board it will simply be you posting things and the three or four positive guys responding with "Cool" and "Nice". You will never have proper debate.
I encourage you to reconsider.

So now it's "Be positive or there is the door". I've never said that. I said be constructive in any criticism.

Constructive how?
"Bruce Tharpe shouldn't change titles with zero build. He should start building matches more". Would that suffice or be considered just hating?

Screw you DKM. (J/K ...sorry, someone had to say it. lol) R.I.P the alliance board! Sorry DKM, but the NWA with your boy Tharpe is becoming a non entity. Censoring 95% of the contributors to this board means there is no board.Congrats for killing free speech.

But lets be real creating multiple thread about bashing Bruce Tharpe is DUMB. When Fred and Chris posted atleast their posts are considered inside info. Criticizing wrestler's bodies is not constructive. Now saying their gimicks stick that could work?

I just love how three people can pile me personally, attack my girlfriend, attack my personality and suggest my friends and family are most likely busy when I ask to spend time with them but that's not an issue. No sir, the real issue is me saying I didn't feel DW or Kahagas were worthy of the World Title and that I dislike Bruce Tharpe. Screw you DKM.

There was a time between me and another "negative" poster getting banned/leaving and the time Tony Brooklyn signed up where it was predominantly positive posts and activity really died down. 1-2 new threads a week where you'd get 4-5 posts of guys just agreeing with one another and moving on. I'm not saying people should deliberately be contrary but having two different sets of opinions and discussing them without getting personal can lead to really interesting discussion.

Since the new board I don't think I made a Bruce Tharpe thread and on the old one I don't think I did either since returning. I did partake in the Bruce Tharpe hate thread but so did everyone to be honest. By the way, I just went through your post history and of your last 30 posts on this board 24 have been directed at me or about me so you have zero right to discuss what is fair and what is constructive with your constant harassment of me.

I think you guys are misconstruing things...
I read DKM's post. He isn't limited freedom of speech. He isn't banning those with contrarian ideas. He's simply enforcing the rules that this board was founded on. No one is telling you, you have to become Bruce Tharpe fans... but Bitch once and offer a solution. At the very least be funny. Then move on. Not one of us that post on this board are financially invested in the NWA. With the exception of Tony Givens, Joseph Duncan, and those who are actually involved with the NWA. Therefor, why so serious? It isn't your money. It isn't your reputation. This message board clearly doesn't have the pull y'all think it does... Otherwise, Damien Wayne would have at least one run as World Champion. Lance Hoyt would have had at least one run with the title. And Santana Garret would have never lost the Woman's Championship.
This is supposed to be fun. If it isn't fun for you... move along. No seriously, stop coming to a place that doesn't make you happy.

That's fair, if not beaten over the head with it and if proper build up isn't followed with a "Why are they so predictable." Really the biggest trick is staying on topic and not becoming repetitive. Also, we have lots of other topics on this board. Gmellos, Shawn, and I are talking UFC. I don't get United at this time, it would be great if someone kept us up to date with it. Anyone watch WrestleMania or have and opinion based on what they heard? There is a lot to do here.
