I can go on for hours about rampage and how he overmoderated this forum with a crazy ego.


But I'd rather give props to @hhnyc77
Not trying to suck up or anything, but even during times when rampage was still around, hh was willing to listen to my rambling argumentative ass and I was able to entrust him that I was banned nine times (I assume most was by rampage) and not only did he read my novels and tolerate my ramblings, he was able to understand my points and we had a discussion. So I thank him for his time.


Definitely out of all fuck boards I've been to, the most reasonable mod who you can talk to and present your points. Again not trying to suck up or anything.

Getting rid of Rampage and reinstating all the members he banned is equivalent to corporate firing a boss for degrading employees, firing them for no good reason and having to rehire all the fired employees. It's a big relief!

Nothing worse than a hyper-moderated forum. UG is basically useless as a result. In the words of Marc Levy they’re a bunch of Over Officious Jerks.

Props, sucking up, compliments, and anything similar are not only welcomed, they are highly encouraged! :ROFLMAO:

Seriously though, appreciate the kind words...we are all experienced hobbyists ourselves, and have experience with using boards as members, both here and other boards, so we know what it's like to be a member too. And we try strive to be fair, reasonable, consistent, and available...and though we don't always get it right, we are always open to suggestions, criticisms, and opposing perspectives and opinions.

We might not always agree with you in the end, but we'll definitely listen, and work with each and every member to try to resolve anything (obviously with mutually respectful attitudes). The site is nothing without its members, and the very principle in which the staff try to operate in our capacity as mods.

No need to throw shade at another board...in fact, cross-checking against different forums is a good thing. Most of our members are members on other sites too...I think we can all co-exist and it'd even be beneficial to do so.

I tried to read "his rules" on the stickies when I started, but they were so incoherent and non-sensical that I came to the correct interpretation: don't irritate him and that he got irritated for things that did not violate any sensible human or even a rule that he had made.
So true. I was banned for nothing and I was a paying member! That's when l realized that his ego was so big that he was willing to compromise revenue that was being generated by this site; crazy.

How does one get compensated for an unwarranted 2 year banning? I feel it's only fair to have the same amount of time credited privileges that were lost due to rampass.

That sounds fair to me, but in your case, you won't be happy with the solution, as I just took a look. And the day that you were banned, you had exactly 1 day of access left. Not making up the number...we can plainly see it.

We can certainly add back one additional day, but that obviously won't do you any good. But let's figure out a solution...PM me and we'll discuss it more.

He ran it like San Francisco administrators. Everything is banned, parking ban, driving on Market Street ban, rent increase ban. Everyone left, city dies.

Freedom is what create opportunities in this world, same for this site, same for Facebook.

Worth noting that this site originated primarily as an east coast amp scene review site, designed to attract same visitors as the now-defunct spahunters site, after FOSTA passed. Spahunters shut down shortly after and I think this site was supposed to be the refuge.


The east coast part of this site has always been active; the Cali portion got active when emonkey bay area aamp refugees have discovered it. Then they section got killed by rampage.

Can you research my account and offer me the same deal ? I don't know what I had at the time. I just remember getting banned for asking if the girl was condom optional.

As far as I can see, you never had a balance back in 2021, and your two reviews were in 2023, which already earned you the full 90 days of access.
