It felt good to have that power briefly, but saddly I abused it.

No, what happened was I think they were all old schoolers appointed admins except me, and it was a political move on their side in hopes I could keep the gang together. I think they all along had the idea to split the forum in 2 parts, but wanted to ease into it. They never consulted me, and announced it would happen when I was out of town, Old school section vs Modern jazzmenco section.

Vast majority protested, and when I came back I agreed with the protestors, and the next thing I know, my admin is removed and I can't log in.

No words or anything about it. I think they thought I would go along with it because my ego would enjoy being an admin in their little cyber fantasy world. Sorry no thanks.

AHH yes its all coming back now ...what a ridicoulos idea lol...what was the plan ? the guys in the modern forum would soon find that its just an uploaded picture that looked like a forum but couldnt acctualy post LOL ?

we should have stayed a litlle longher...i would have loved to see them give themsels headaches trying to separate old from modern and where to draw the line lol

sure the very old and the very modern ....eazy...but as it gets closer to the midlle line not so eazy lol would have been almost worth it to see how they would...plus everyone has own different ideas of where it begines beeing modern and what would that mean that you couldnt mention names of guitarists under a certain age in the old school ? what would happen if you did ? and if nothing...then why bother lol

Could you imagine......."WO WOW what did you just say Jeronimo ? here ???

Youre banned !!"

i still cant picture it lol

It would have been pretty clear cut black and white. What ever was not to the leader's tastes, would get moved over to the "modern" bin.....like spam.

For sending subversive messages of revolution over his PM system telling everyone of a possible Foroflamenco reform and to meet over at Ramin's FT site.

Crazy days.

cheers,
