    I love how a couple idiots here like to chime in just to say "hey that's life"...........
    I wonder why this is the only thread they choose to jump into when theyre not even participating in it just to say that
    I'd love to see screenshots of all the other message forumms where they tell people who are upset "hey that's life"
    oh wait.......................no screenshots? my bad

    Been guilty of it myself plenty, so I'm no role model, but calling everyone we disagree with a piece of shit just plays into their hands and may keep some good posters on the fence from coming over. Just a thought.

    The ex owner still has full control but doesn't care about the board or it's members because...well... he is the ex owner. He got his money or whatever portion they have doled out so far. What a terrible mistake on the part of the new owners to leave this man in charge. A man with no character, no sense of right or wrong, no interest in fairness and no interest is anything but himself. A man who has no qualms about the forum dying and no qualms about besmirching the name of the parent company, LCB, by his actions on their behalf.

    Some of us have been delivering this message for a while but now with KewlJ many more are taking notice. More and more are seeing it as people from all over the internet are showing interest. They are shaking their heads in disbelief as they not only read about KewlJ but are starting to review the entire suspension list and get a real and not so pretty picture of one Michael Shackleford.

    I welcome KewlJ's input and participation in this thread and find it extremely relevant. What better way to show that "WizardOfVegas Forum Is Dying"? KewlJ is not the bad guy here despite the efforts of those who suggest it. Those guys will go down with the ship as the band plays on.

    I said "I don't consider what I am doing as attacking you, but I can promise you this....I will not let this go. I will bring up your handling of this situation, every chance I get. In my book, next year. If I decide to do GWAE as Munchin has asked. On every site that I participate on......for the rest of my life. And since I am almost 20 years younger than you, that should cover the rest of your life. Every couple weeks or couple months, I will be somewhere questioning your integrity, honesty and professionalism. And hopefully the guys here at WoV that know that you were unfair will continue to bring it up every few weeks."

    He apparently took that as this horrible threat.>>>>KJ


    You are kidding me. You originally came here and said that you would reconsider going back to WOV. Really? You left the quote above out.
    That comment is what we call a "parting shot" ...With emphasis on the word "parting".

    I would have said the same thing eventually on the way out the door. But no way would I expect to EVER be invited back.

    There is a scene in old movies where someone is fired and in disgust replies...."you cant fire me.....I QUIT".......

    With those words you left with.....you in effect did the same thing. You left no choice. Do you actually think anyone would invite you back and empower you to hold the "threat" over their head going forward. Take you back in exchange for you not acting out a threat?

    Yes this was the ":fuck you" exit. Once you say "fuck you" on the way out the door.....you never have to worry about coming back. The fact that you would consider going back is a moot point.

    2 things can be equally true. You originally were punished for no reason. And there is no fucking way (after reading your parting shot) you can even be considered for re-instatement. Heck This thread is a big "fuck you" on the way out the door. I dont expect to be in a position to reconsider going back. And once this thread started...I knew that.
    You had every right as a customer to say what you did,.....but you cant have your cake and eat it too.

    Its kind of like the "clean hands" doctrine in the courts.

    KJ, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't think you should have been in that position, but once you were, you fucked up.

    I can't believe I'm saying this......but I agree with this post, LarryS.

    Sorry man, I've come to believe you're full of yourself.
    I'm sure you'd love to have your board in your name. And it should be done. And if I can help GF mark posts that are all about you and attacks at you that have nothing to do with wov, I'd be glad to. Maybe 10 would stay with the wov is dying thread.

    How do you know the deal arrangement. Sounds like you're assuming an awful lot. Which is pretty much what this board does. It's "all us banned guys place to attack wov ex owner mike". I don't know the guy, I can only read this site and wov BEFORE the kewlj tragedy to get some impressions. Hate to break it to you sparky, but if kj himself didn't post hour by hour even though he said he wouldn't early on, this would have died long ago. Another heartbreaking factoid for you, all the views are most likely the same 12 people all the time AND kewlj is actually insignificant to the survival of wov or this site...it's only as big as he makes it.

    And there's a strong possibility that kewlj is talking to himself and giving himself all those praises...
    But hey carry on. It does kill the time at lunch and stuff.

    I don't have to assume anything, nate. Unlike you I've read the posts here and at WOV. Shackleford himself verified the sale and the $2.3 million price as did several news releases. I simply said that he got his money whether piece meal or lump sum. It's simple business.

    This thread was started on Sept 2, 2015. KewlJ showed up on May 25, 2016. He is proof of what has been said about the way WOV is run. If the guy bothers you so much you have the choice not to read or participate in this thread.

    You certainly haven't added anything useful to it. In fact you've added absolutely nothing. Get over your obsession with KewlJ already.

    lol..nice deflection to make it seem I'm the obsessed one. Who's supporting the the guy? Certainly not me, but it seems you and larry are.
    But that isn't news to anyone. Everyone knows about the money, but no one knows for sure how much mike has in control of the site any more. That was my point. But you danced around that part too.

    No biggy.

    He has enough "control" to continually treat people like garbage, and make decisions that translate to poor customer service. Nothing has changed. Actually might be a little worse because it seems like he doesnt give a shit more than he used to,
    Hence his recent treatment of Boz, of KJ and bluechow..

    A lot of us are. Too much dictatorship, not enough room to criticize, without repercussions. And yes you come on here as the obsessed one. Have you made any gambling posts on this site???

    I support KewlJ and all the others who have incurred the wrath of the petty, socially backward manboy.

    The Weirdo of Vegas has his supporters here and that's great but they should take the blinders off. As usual they're short on facts and long on attempted rhetoric. It's the facts, however, that keep this thread going...indisputable facts that are there for everyone to see. Not one supporter has disputed the facts and that says a lot.

    Speaking of petty, Beached Whale has banned HeySlick for something he said on another site. So here we go. Be careful, WOVers. You could be next.

    She waddled over to the Diversity Tomorrow site, another of manboy's dismal failures, saw something HeySlick said and waddled back to WOV to ban him. She hasn't even participated on that board since April and she is not a mod there.

    Just another blatant example of her abuse of power. What a sad, petty human being she is... trying to make up for her shortcomings by joining an all male forum just to dole out punishment and hawk her failed games.

    And where's Mission/husband of the year during all this? Hasn't posted or logged in for a week. Is he writing another Pulitzer winning article about the hicks of West Virginia? Or maybe he no longer get the internet in the back of the car he lives in. Or maybe he's grooming another girlfriend to become a compulsive gambler so he can control her.

    Probably pulling double shifts at the fleabag that he *cough* manages. More time to peek in the windows.

    I know I'm not going to change your mind and you have the same right to post whatever you want, just like me. But again, do you know "Mission"? Or do you only form your opinions based on his actions as a mod on the forum? Sticking with the facts on decisions they make is valid stuff, but I don't believe you have any clue on what Hotel he manages. He may have went though a tough time personally, which many of us have. Strong people pick themselves up and move on.

    Again I just wonder how many people might post over here because they too are sick of some of the decisions over there but don't because of this stuff? Some of the decisions made give you plenty of reasons to explain why you think the forum is dying. Presenting them without the name calling and personal attacks might make more people listen. Or maybe not.

    There is a subtle difference between "not that I object" and "he doesn't object"
    Just saying...

    So its OK for a mod to say...don't let the door hit you on the way out
    But a customer says....I told her where to go...and gets banned
    So sarcastic....it's like she gets joy..
    Just like husband of the year suspending with the sarcastic line..you are the weakest link upon suspending
    Just 2 examples of poor customer service and the joy they get from punishing
