Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Now we're getting complaints about leaving it open? Just can't win lol.
You will never please everyone.
I for one think that the MOD's on this board do a great job. It's tough. The moment you go from being a citizen to moderator you have to throw out your opinions and try your best to be diplomatic at all times. This is a really big community with people from all walks of life. Everyone educated enough to form a sentence(most of the time) and create a post based on an opinion. That makes for a lot of reading and decision making to be done by these handful of people that are regulating this board in their spare time.
I'm sure whenever a decision like this has to be made they sit around and discuss it to death on the proper action that should be made. On that won't piss off the majority of people. I know I used to do it when I was a MOD. It was hard. And it does nothing for self esteem. Yeah I get it, it's the internet. But it's no fun hearing people tell you thatthe decision you made was wrong.
I don't personally know emoney. I didn't really pay attention to many of his posts. Mostly because his signature hurt my brain so I would just skip to the next post. So I could really care less if he is here or not. But I do respect the MODs on this board because it usually runs pretty smoothly for its size. And these few people have a hand in that.
Scene 2: People realize Emoney is banned and react in various different ways
Scene 3: People get offended at the lack of obvious reason for Emoney's punishment
Scene 4: People bring up every old Inforoo conflict of the last 5 years
Thanks.
If the MODs say he should be banned, then he should be banned. Or how about he agrees to terms of coming back. Like not having that obnoxious signature.
there are three signature that force me to keep them turned off because of browsing at work. emoney. costanza. and the bouncing katy perry tits. i aint mad tho, it actually makes reading the boards easier, but harder to identify people.

I haven't gone back to look at that meltdown, although I should because that thread was great, but I don't reember if Sproat actually threatened flanzo, or if it was more of a challenge. Either way, that statute of message board limitations has probably passed. I know his one big threat of a fellow member came in person at Roo, and not on the boards, so he can't really be banned for that.
A few years ago I would have brushed off internet threats as nothing to be taken seriously. Because it's kind of ridiculous. But now that my oldest daughter is getting closer to middle school and wanting to spend more time on the computer I'm much more sensitive to bullying. It's the momma bear in me that doesn't like it when people are actually hurt by what they read on the computer.
This. If emoney's ban continues then you MUST ban every other poster that has done the same things as him (or worse) unless the mods are ok with being raging hypocrites. It's pretty obvious to most people on here that emoney has made way less offensive posts than some posters on here that are allowed to continue posting. That is all I have to say about this crap.
I just wanted to chime in and say that this thread has been a hell of a crash course on the history of inforoo. So thank you all for that.
I'm pretty sure someone could write a thesis on the politics of message boards after reading all this. Please don't yell at me, I know I'm new here, but in the long run, aren't we all just gonna go to 'Roo and have a fantastic time? There's so much in life to take seriously, why add an internet message board to that list? (Especially one that's dedicated to something that, for most of us, is the most carefree weekend of the year.)

Wait what Sproat threatened someone in person at Roo?

just in #inforoo(TM) on p much everyone in there. and he made some kid cry at bonnaroo apparently

it was juggs. thats why he's never shown his face since.
I know that was in good fun Phi, but I actually enjoy Jugg's posts. I know they can be a little harsh. But I will always have respect for him because he defended me to the NYC bus guy when he called me a bad mother for bringing my kids to Bonnaroo.
What can I say, I'm a sucker for people that compliment my parenting skills. Even if I've never met them.
This is why I like Inforoo over Facebook. On FB you can only "like" post, you can not "dislike" post. Sometimes I just want to "dislike" something and I can not! It pisses me off. On Inforoo I can do that. I can "like" certain things and I can "dislike" other post. I have my Karma turned off, so the "like" and "dislike" options work well for me. Thanks Inforoo for adding these options.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I really don't want to post the link, because I come off like an ape, but whatever. This is also the thread where he brags about making a fellow inforooster cry. He also makes it seem like Lono is his sidekick for this event, which I doubt was truly the case.
Enjoy (the fun starts on Page 2, with a guest post by Lono that is just...magnificent):

Wait....so Sproat threatened people in the inforoo chat and that's the threat you were mainly talking about? If so, you know we don't moderate the chat....can you explain the threat (or threats) in more detail please?
Also, if anyone can give me a link (either in PM or on here) to Sproat physically threatening people on here that'd be helpful. Thanks.
