[request] Immortalizing The History of the Bastard Factory.

[SAWA]

I'm a newcomer myself and I'm not really knowledgeable about the beginnings of the old Bastard Factory, why the old Bastard Factory goes offline and why Bastard Factory 2.0 came into existence.
I wanted to know more detail about this and newcomers might want to know too.

Would someone share their knowledge about this matter?

 

[Iggy McLulz]

That’s confidential information. Sorry but there’s no story here.

It were the Mozlims ...

 

[Krieg]

I know the reasons.. there are perhaps 3, maybe 4 people on here that are cleared for such information. Let the past stay in the past.

 

[Swamp-Duck]

No big secret, you only have to google it.

 

[Oliver Shagnasty]

That’s confidential information. Sorry but there’s no story here.

That's not fair. We want to know :(

 

[MasterBlaster]

I want a 19-year-old blonde with melon tits - go figure.

I'll give it a try.

Bastard Factory has been my online screen name going back to 2005'ish Freakhole/CJ/517 Underground and every other message board I tore through at that time. I was banned too much for too many trivial things and decided to open my own site and work with less ruLes. Not only did I want to open my own site to evade powerTrippers who didn't like diversity. I also, IMO, had/have creative ideas on how to do this correctly and stepped up to the plate. If people joined, that's great, if not, let them spectate.

IMO I find that the majority of the boards you'd visit were plain looking and boring. I went with an idea of having all forums unique and based it loosely off of a hotel I visited in the 80's...

Racism, Jew hate, and a few shit posters took the site to new lows. I found myself suddenly disinterested in rebooting the ranks after 7 years of every day grinding. Bottom line is both the quality postings dropped and I was done spamming the cyberverse for new posters. The monthly server biLL was adding up as bandwidth grew. I spent more time on other sites getting people here than being here and I was already here too much. I gladly do everything except site coding, I'm not techie type and never want to be so we pay a webmaster to keep this place purrrrrin' behind the scenes in that regards. Still do.

I didnt touch another message board since the day BF closed in 2015. Forgot about them completely. Earlier last year I got this sudden urge to raise the roof on people online and found that most message boards are gone.

Bringing it all back.

Unfortunately, the only data base copy we had of BF was corrupted. I was able to recoup roughly 20% of my threads thru a web crawler service to ease the start up pain. I started with trying to obtain BastardFactory .com and it's basically being held hostage by Chinese Domain pirates for a few thousands due to the amount of clicks it still received over the years. We're set with .net which the last board didnt run on.

This time around, I've done little to populate this board. I'm a little kicked back and not so serious. No SEO, No serious spamming of other boards (some).

Going a little deeper, I see us open for another 7+ years so do your worst. Posters will come as the name continues to gets out. We're truly private unless someone shares a link.

As for me, I do get what I want out of this place. It may appear that I am more distant than I really am.

I’m not expecting to see that @Bastard Factory himself will get his hands dirty to explain the history of the forum.

Thank you.

I'm speechless.

 

[Iggy McLulz]

I’m confused. Are you or are you not happy with the history lesson?

 

[SAWA]

I’m confused. Are you or are you not happy with the history lesson?

I'm happy. It's the first time that an well known member (or leader) of any forum that i have been in, responded to my thread. I thought that my request is too much for a new member and too bothersome..

It's a great question...I learned from it as well, and who else is more fitting to answer ?
ffs, being 'bothersome' is where it's at ....

 

[Val Gina]

yeah all those mongs killed it

 

[Damaged Maven]

I like that the site is, with a few exceptions, self-policing and tolerant, maybe just because it's small yet. It's a good start... umm, restart.

 

[Ice]

Did there used to be a guy here called ban or band4ever?

 

[Bastard Factory]

I also like that the site is self policing... shows members give a damn.

There was a member here around 2013'ish named 'Ban'... didn't post much

CorsetKat and I have been together for a 21 years. She was a touch bent that we shut down and then became super dedicated to her own private board. She's a big reason were back and moving forward.

I believe I joined during that time frame. Bumped into some folks who I thought were cool. Others not so cool. All in all we need to remember it’s the internet. Learning to take things not personally is the key. Rock it on BF.

I saw Ban not long ago, over at the Vancouver forum on memebee. He goes by Ban Peligro these days I think lol, and doesnt post much.

 

[Val Gina]

Anyways i confess its fornikate here, didnt see any old acc info so started again.

 

[Big Sexy]

We need a sports forum

Wow, I'm sorry I missed out on that era.

 

[Oerdin]

Be the change you want to see in the world. Actually engage and bring logical arguments instead of simply freaking out and putting everyone on ig ore if they disagree with you.

That would be a good start, Levon.
