Gosh leave the board for a week and all heck breaks loose! I haven't read the Cali thread yet but I doubt their banning came from just one incident. I have a VERY strong suspicion that DJ was lolsmileyface...that would be strike one...then he made a habit of posting "drama instigating" threads involving gyms moving or athletes leaving to go to other programs....strike two...now this drama...that would be strike three.
As far as lakerwhateverhernameis...she was a passive aggressive poster that would not drop things even when someone apologizes and asks to move on. She did it to me personally on more than one occasion and I have seen posts towards others that have ended the same way.
Once upon a time this board was crazy and drama was almost welcomed. Now it has become a reputable source of information when it comes to the industry. Actions that were once status quo no longer have a place on a board that has not only a representative from almost every major gym but also event producers and industry professionals. I know for me personally I have had a few smh moments when one thread has actual intelligent conversation involving rule changes and right below it is a 14 page thread about an athlete graduating and OMG what will happen to the team???!!
Just my 2 cents....
