Okay,
Mostly I stay out of stuff like this but Jesus, it's like a bunch of catty 5th Graders.
I've been adminning and moderating sites for almost 20 years. First of all, what James did with this site is not exactly against any rules. We had a much worse situation with a popular site that was getting 20-30 posts a day, the Admin built the site, demoted herself, and then took a powder, leaving ONE moderator. This meant that no changes could be made to the site, or much of anything else. We had decided that we were going to try and more or less "close" the site and move all the posters to another site. The Admin did come back eventually, but that's beside the point.
With that site, we had to get permission, in writing, to transfer ownership when we approached the site hosting network. This was a safeguard to prevent someone from stealing the site.
All the sites have problems, and I work with Heyy and Sidney behind the scenes to try and keep things on a even keel, and not sabotage the one main site, which is actually doing quite well. However, the golden age of bulletin boards like this is pretty much over.
The biggest problem is "closed" membership and a limited pool of members. I've tried bring people from the outside, but with limited results. You all need to start thinking out of the box to gain members.
Please take a really close look at what's going on the Soapbox, and ask yourself if you were a potential member, is this what you want to see?
Drama like this can actually get both sites pulled.
Is this what you want?

Gl, the same can be said about their two boards. Sydney comes here and threatens to go to proboards. I told her to go ahead but remember that it is a two way street. She is a documented liar and heeeey is a documented bigoted racist, plain and simple. Agree or disagree, that is your right, just like it’s my right to call them out on their lies.

Here you gl, another one of heeeey’s nicer posts:
“ heeeyyy: Who's 'garak'? Never heard of him. That name sounds like what I imagine a donkey's fart would sound like though”
She is such a nice lady, not.
If you are going to call it out here than you must do so on the other boards as well.

GL What I want is to be left alone. I am perfectly happy with the state of this forum. It's actually quite civil when people don't come here looking to shut it down or stir up other trouble. I have done nothing with this site, so I don't know what you mean. I joined this board only because Sydney kept telling people on her boards that I was unable to join any forum for any number of reasons, including that I was a jail inmate. I am not. I am also not one who looks for conflict, but I am also not one who fears it. I shouldn't have to prove anything to anyone. If you want to work with Sydney and Heeeeey behind the scenes or in the open feel free to do so, but after many years of their nonsense I prefer to be left alone on our small but friendly site. There are basically three members here, lowell, garak and me. Sydney is constantly coming here and trying to get us to post on her boards. We have repeatedly told her we are not interested. I only came to her board last week to try and piss her off to the point that she would leave us alone. Trying to be nice has not worked. Anyone is welcome to post here as far as I'm concerned, but after countless deals made and broken by Sydney I have no interest in conversing with her. I've called her a liar, because she has proven herself to be one. Ask her yourself, but don't expect the truth. If another post is never made on this forum or ProBoards shuts it down I'll be just fine, so don't worry on my account.

We really aren't trying to attract members to this board. People read it as guests and I post things that might benefit them. I don't expect anyone to join. Some others might want to have some others join, I am not opposed to others joining. I just don't feel a need for this board to have additional members. It is a mystery to me why anyone would want this board shut down. It appears to be maliciousness on the part of members of that other board that Sydney and Heeeey try to promote and protect. Kirk has another board ready to go if this one ends. Proboards has no reason to shut this board down, it is not violating their rules nor is it promulgating Qanon lies or misinformation designed to destroy the Federal Government of the United States. We are not trying to encourage the violent overthrow of the government of the United States.

Ahhh...
Should have gone with my instincts and stayed out of it.
Yeah I fought misinformation on that board all last summer. I finally gave up, you could literally show them real stuff like police reports, etc, and they still wouldn't believe it.

gl5662, you don't know the history Sydney and I have with those two. Kirk is trying to come off here as if he has angel's wings and he does NOT. His posting history is memorialized on my original forum (Politics-n-More). He and Garak were there for a good seven years posting as guests and doing nothing but picking fights and antagonizing members. You know Jayman, right? They couldn't even get along with Jayman the last time they were posting when it was Joanna's Forum, and picked fights with him too. They are only happy when there are no women around.

There you go again Heeeeey. Show GL where I've ever picked a fight or took part in a fight with Jayman. See if you can find one time. While you're at it, I'm still waiting for all those examples of me being pro-thug and anti-police. I'm still not convinced you're a woman, so that implication is as week as your made up facts. This is the kind of nonsense we've gotten tired of GL. Don't hold your breath waiting for him/her to prove what she said.

Like I said, shouldv'e stayed out of it. No hard feelings here. Actually I'm glad you checked out this place and hope you pop in occasionally. We can get along with anybody who wants to be gotten along with. I was hoping Belle would stick around too. She seemed like a nice lady. Just to let you know, Heeeeey will not find any occasion where I had a confrontation with Jayman because there are none. I also don't like thugs and hate police. So go look to your heart's content if you want.

Still waiting Heeeeey. Show GL a link to posts where I picked a fight with Jayman. The words came out of your brain, so they can't be untrue. GL and I are both waiting to see them.

Like I said, shouldv'e stayed out of it. As Kirk said, no hard feelings. I am sure based on what you said about showing them “police reports” and having them not believe it, that you cannot have an honest discussion with a delusional person. As to the Jayman accusations, I don’t believe Kirk ever interacted with him. This was at the time when if either one of us posted hello they would ban guests. I did argue with Jayman ONE TIME regarding a he said she said situation. He had his opinion and I had mine. As I know that you have found that if your opinion differs from hers that you are wrong. As to their newest claim about it being that they are women, I have no idea where that came from other than out of their asses. As I am sure you have seen they never back up their statements with facts. They either ignore what you said or spew more lies to divert the topic.

James T. Kirk, the majority of your posts are on the boards that are not viewable to guests. You have to be registered to see them. You immediately antagonized Jayman who refused to engage with you to keep the peace. @garak, you called Sydney a 'bitch' unprovoked on that same forum, and you have called me a bitch and other racist terms. You have no moral ground to preach to anybody, you self-righteous hypocrite. I guess that reply to Dondub about having black dick breath hit a nerve with you. I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. Don't take it personally if you swing that way. Btw, it was in response to an insult. You conveniently leave that detail out being the hypocrite that you are. And those are my last words to the both of you on this abandoned forum where the admin couldn't stand either of you and probably would have kicked you both out if he were still here.

See gl, again nothing proven, all insinuations. All she has to do is post a link, any link to back up even one of her statements. But no, she continues to lie and distort what was said and by whom.

How many times have we heard this statement from these two? At least they are consistent with their lies.
