> [@Giraffe](#): > > No, that got bought out by the Testicle Hut. Well the Testicle Hut has been going downhill the last couple of years so they’re trying to increase membership by buying other boards. I read somewhere that they are loking at buying out the Vagina Lounge as well. ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > What will the thread you start tomorrow in this forum be about, Lisalan? Excuse me. I happened to find a board and I was asking if the mods were aware of it. No need for the sacrcasm. I haven’t even mentioned the board name as I am waiting for a mod to respond to this thread. Who are you the posting police or a self-proclaimed sdmb mod??? ---

I think you misread his post, **lisa**. He didn’t say you’d registered anywhere and he wasn’t accusing you of anything. And why are you waiting for a mod response? People are talking shit about the Dope elsewhere on the internet. So what? Do you expect the mods to hire internet lawyers to try to get the other sites shut down or something? ---

I did misread part of it and I corrected my post. So what does he mean by his little comment:confused: ---

I thought it was all about the “don’t incite a board war” rule? Then we realized you can’t have a board war if the other board is composed of 101%(with socks) us. ---

Did I say I expected them to hire lawyers. Seriously what is with all these assumptions? ---

lisalan yes we know. Don’t worry, because there is nothing to do about those types of people on another board. Many consist of people banned from here where they can do something about it and we hang out.😉 I’m not referring to boards like Giraffe’s. ---

You’ve started 4-5 ATMB topics in the last two-three days. So it was a half-joke wondering what your next ATMB topic will be about. : p ---

I say we should act on Lisalan’s discovery, and shut the internet down until investigations can carried out. Its the only way to deal with something like this. ---
