I just went along to the bbboy temp board to check something out, and saw the following: > [@](#): > > 3 people online in the last 15 minutes - 0 members, 0 anon and 3 guests. Wow! I thought I had the place to myself; lucky I wasn’t picking my nose or anything like that. It seems that others are still having a mosey around there. Are any Dopers popping over from time to time, or is it just “Outsiders” stumbling across the board (and then hopefully coming across here)? ---

But it’s been closed up since about March 21, so what you been doing down there, James? 😃 ---

It’s probably just kids. You know, “I double-dog dare you to spend the night at the Old SDMB Place over on BbBoard. They say Old Man Adams went crazy and, like, banned six members of his own family!” ---

Was anyone actually banned over at the temp board? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Michael Ellis \* > Was anyone actually banned over at the temp board? Heh. Spooky over there isn’t it? Yeah, we had to whack a few people. Say, what’s that light moving around in MPSIMS–and I swear I heard a noise down in the Pit… **LolaBaby:** There were some concers about conflicts with the rules set by the owners of the [BbBoard domain](http://bb.bbboy.net/), yes. The SDMB–its servers and so forth–is owned directly by the _Chicago Reader_, but with the temp board, we were playing on somebody else’s ballground.
