So far 54 members have left one board and gone to another in protest. You honestly don't think it's just about scalpers do you? It goes a lot deeper than that. I hope the real story will come out here soon, so you guys can see that we're not down here acting like victims. An entire Fan Force would not move just over figures, most of us don't even collect. Mos Alba is alive and well on our new board, and people are happy again.

As of right now we are all posting on another board, and it's just like old Mos Alba over there. Lots of activity. Activity will return to the TFN boards in time.

Just so you know....my Colorado Brothers and Sisters (Grew up in Pueblo  ) There is more to this than plastic figures. Do not believe what is on the surface! It is true....the 3 people that have been a problem on our site have been asked to leave and take their negative attitudes with them. But we could not get any help from the CR team. It almost seemed that something was owed to these people. The group as a majority asked repeatedly to remove these trouble-makers and to no avail. So....the group moved somewhere where it was safe and warm! We are not sad....we are not weak....we just moved on to better pastures. We stood and fought this past year and what we got was pretty much nothing. Bob, I have nothing against you as a friend goes...and I hope when this is all over you will still be my friend. But a change was due....how could 50+ members who left be so wrong?

I wouldn't say Mos Alba is imploding, and it isn't about toys.
It has turned into a huge he-said, she-said, they-said, whatever. Yes, it was the scalping that brought the issue to a head. But that wasn't the reason everyone left (I'm not even a collector). There were some members that were making the majority feel uncomfortable and there seemed to be a non-reaction to the situation. It seemed to the majority (40+) that the ones that were causing trouble(3) were being catered to. We mostly tried to ignore them, but tempers flared, and well people were getting banned.
Jump to now. We left the TF.N boards in silent protest. Many great activists have led silent and non-violent protests and have gotten results without causing harm. Now, I am no way saying that our fight is what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. or Mahatma Ghandi fought for, but in a sense, it is in our little speck of the universe. If we can't stand up for what we believe in, no matter how trivial people may think it is, then how can we say we live in a democratic society? We are blessed to live in a country where democracy is around us and we should be able to stick up for what we believe in no matter what.
I have no ill feelings towards you Bob, and I like you and Julie. This is nothing personal whatsover. And, it isn't about stupid pieces of painted plastic.

You know, Karen, you are right. It is a SHE-SAID, HE-SAID problem.
I don't want this to do this on the SCFF forum. So I'll head back down I-25...

Honestly, its about excuses...the State of NM is full of them, that's all I hear, it's always others and not owning up to your responsibilities. Excuses are like *$$ holes, everybody got one and they all stink. It's about CR's knowing who the problem children are in the group and not doing anything about them and letting them "take shots" at people knowning, then when you stick up for yourself you get flamed. Well, Mos ALba is instituting "No Tolerance" to that anymore.

Did it ever occur to anybody that they could REMOVE their CR? If it's that bad of an issue, nobody has to wait until elections are up -- just boot 'em. Place an interim in "office" if you have to.

Now, in defense...
While they can perma-ban somebody who logs on and constantly violates TFN TOS, they can't just go sniping every lurker out there just because somebody starts whining. And they really can't do something about some guy getting the jump on the next shipment of action figures. LOL. That's asking something that can't be done, and if something like that is an issue, you'll never be happy unless you have a completely closed in board where nobody new can ever post.

But perma banning isn't a solve all either. There are some technical problems and loop holes where someone can get back onto the boards if they have enough motivation.
