An appeal must be made within 24 hours of notice of a suspension and any submissions must be posted in the Penalty Box within 48 hours of the notice. If 24 hours passes without an appeal, the Member will begin serving his/her suspension. All Members of CB may be involved in the appeal process. The Supreme Adjudicator will render a final decision which may include: a) upholding the original suspension; b) amending the suspension period (either higher or lower); nullifying the suspension. 12. Any Member may ask for a vote to impeach the Supreme Adjudicator. In 30 days, a vote will be held to determine whether or not the Supreme Adjudicator should stay in his/her role. During the intermediary period, a thread will be created in Board Announcements, wherein the members of CB may debate the motion to impeach. If the vote is unanimous, the Supreme Adjudicator will be removed immediately and the Member who launched the impeachment motion will be installed as the Interim Supreme Adjudicator. Members including the deposed Supreme Adjudicator will have 14 days to declare their candidacy for Supreme Adjudicator in Board Announcements. 30 days after the deadline for announcement of candidacy, an election will be held. If only one member declares his/her candidacy, he/she will automatically become Supreme Adjudicator at the expiration of 30 days. If no member declares his/her candidacy, the Interim Supreme Adjudicator will assume the position of Supreme Adjudicator at the expiration of 30 days after the deadline for candidacy. He/she will be Supreme Adjudicator for a term of one year. If the motion to impeach fails, the Member who launched the motion will be suspended for a period of 120 days for causing undue instability to the Board and for damaging the reputation of the Supreme Adjudicator. Any Member who invokes Rule 12 may withdraw his/her invocation at any time before the day of the scheduled impeachment vote at no penalty. 16. No member may change his/her Member Name more than ONE time per year up to a maximum of THREE name changes. Name changes will be approved or denied by the discretion of the Supreme Adjudicator or Interim Supreme Adjudicator if applicable. 17. No member or guest of Chatterb0x may post any altered picture, video or audio recording of any other mmber or guest of Chatterb0x without that Member or Guest's expressed written permission. Furthermore, no member or guest of Chatterb0x may post any altered picture, video, or audio recording of any mmber or gest's family members, friends, acquaintances, or colleagues without the expressed written permission of that member or guest. Any violation will lead to an automatic 100 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A subsequent violation will result in a 1,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A third violation will result in a 10,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A fourth violation will result in a 25,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. 18. Under exceptional times of threats (internal and/or external), and backed by a simple majority vote of Members, the Supreme Adjudicator may declare martial law whereby all rules will be immediately suspended. The Supreme Adjudicator will have then been granted full authority for a period of up to 30 days to carry out whatever action(s) he/she deems necessary to protect and preserve the wellbeing of Chatterb0x and its Members. 19. Chatterb0x Election Day will be September 7 of every year. All Active Members as of 9:00 AM Atlantic Time on August 31 will be listed as candidates; at which time the poll will open.

In the event of a Supreme Adjudicator's resignation, death, or physical/mental incapacity to fulfill the role, the Member with the second amount of votes in the previous Chatterb0x election will become Interim Supreme Adjudicator effective immediately. If there was no sole second place finisher, the previous Supreme Adjudicator will become Interim Supreme Adjudicator effective immediately. The successor will retain his/her Interim Supreme Adjudicator position unless altered via Rules 12, 19, or this Rule. 21. Any member who suggests or actively tries to split up the Slammy Gang will be charged with treason and if convicted by a simple majority vote, be banned from Chatterb0x for life. 22. The threshold for conviction for violations of Rules 3, 5, and 17 is beyond a reasonable doubt. 23. The Supreme Adjudicator has full discretion to edit or delete any posts he/she believes could, did, or are causing instability to Chatterb0x. 24.

Think about how much time he has caused us to waste over the years.

I don't blame him. My life has been crappy since December 26th 1994. |

I was full of hate and bitterness when I came to IHW back in 2004. It had been a bad '03-04 and my friends were sick of me complaining by that point. The board provided a good path for me to vent and not impact my daily life (as much). I met some great people on IHW/IHM and they really helped me get rid of the bitterness, too. I look back at most of my time on the boards as a positive experience, somehow. |

Right on. I was being more fascetious (sp? and also a word that used to never be able to pronounce). I think my experience with the boards has been mostly a good thing, too.

Anyone of us could have bought a domain e.g.http://www.menmakememad.com, then bought hosting and set up a brand new IHM style board. The fact that nobody did so rather suggests one thing. I know how to set up a forum and create a database(mySQL is as simple as it is boring) but I simply don't want to go to all the time, trouble and expense doing it. 172 was the only person half-willing do all that.

For me, it wasn't about the themes of the site really, just the community itself. Too bad most have moved on.

2003 and 2004 were the years when discussion forums were the biggest fashion online, and it was not a coincidence most of us have arrived at IHM and IHW in one of these two years. Discussion forums were democratic places where everyone talked to everyone and everyone had fun. Unfortunately, the Myspace and the Facebook came and ruined the discussion forum fashion. It's not the same thing. Facebook feels like you were in a cage, talking to other people who are in other cages. Nate said I have a gypsy soul, and maybe I do have, I can't stand feeling myself tied to a profile and having a list of "friends", I want more than that. |

What I really regrett is, I regrett not having searched for different discussion forums back in 2003 and 2004. Unfortunately I only frequented racial forums, extremistic political forums and gender-hating forums --- ALWAYS under the excuse that I needed to "vent"... And, I remember there were TONS of good forums about science, technology, general knowledge, travels, languages, but since I never wanted to talk normally with people, I always got bored very quickly and, after a couple months I was always drawn (misp?) back to IHM/IHW and alikes. To find people to talk to, it was way easier 7, 8, 9 years ago than it is nowadays. I remember of the times I used to send e-mails to completely stranger people to ask about some crap they posted/said somewhere and they replied me properly. I wish I had cultivated some good potential friendships, but I just thought that way of things were going to last forever and it would be always easier to find other people somewhere else. |

This place helped keep me out of prison, as well as constantly reinforce how much i don't like people or diversity in general, and got me started down a path belonging to a community I'm better suited for, with roles, authority, respect and order. BDSM. |

"roles, authority, respect and order." Perhaps prison IS the place for you Monty. |
