I have had trouble the past three days by people from another board. As some of you know, I had some very unpleasant experiences which led me to leave. I was building this BBS anyway, so I guess the timing just happened (this was originally just to have been a feedback forum for my websites).
One of the reasons has seen fit to join with varying versions of his name, something ironically their own moderators worked to repell a few times from their own board. Funny how the cycle turns and they become the antagonists and guilty of the same thing.
The person in particular I learned yesterday has become that board's admin! I've enlisted assistance from the board's hosts at this point. After adding some IPs by the advice of one of Proboard's staff, another not only joined this evening, but leeched bandwidth and used a unique image I prepared for use here and on proboards as my avatar. I think their intentions are now very clear: harassment and terrorism. And yes, when the admin of a board does these acts, it reflects on the image for that entire board. That's what comes with the responsibility.
I have resumed experiencing symptoms resembling an ulcer over the past two days which began when the joinings started. I made this board to interact with friends and acquaintances.
Who knows what inspires people to do what they do: intrude and harass. Seven knows how stress almost killed me three years ago, and weakened my immune system to the point where I became susceptible to illnesses (and my first kidney stone oh joy) and developed a serious joint inflammation which prevented me from walking (two years ago next week. I lost a job of many years because I was unable to go to work. It took 2 months to get to a cane and 4 months phys therapy). I'm still not fully recovered medically from this, as I always walk with some degree of discomfort. These people have begun to unravel all I've stuggled to overcome, and perhaps further shorten my lifespan (I have a lot more medical problems which are stress-related which I won't bore you with).
So it's a matter of life and death at this point that these terrible people are removed from access, and I'll do what's necessary, even contact their ISP with screen captures and web logs if necessary.
I'm sorry that I've had to write this. I'm sorry they exist and that there are these types of people in the world. I guess my life isn't difficult enough without total strangers compromising it further.
I don't want pity. But I want you to know what these people are capable of in their hearts. May we never become like them.
