Thank you,it's good to (see?) you here with us.

Thank you. Like a lot of people I have signed up to all the GB offshoots, just to make sure that I don't get split up from the old crowd. That, after all, is the common aim of all three.

Hey kids it is I, Syntheticdarkness or Belledemure, who ever you remember me by I am back in my original form now.

I am all of the forum off shoots (three?)

I was wondering who you were! Welcome!!!!

Hello all! I'm still La Diva Carlotta, and boy am I ever so happy to be here!

I'm into romantic/traditional Goth stuff, black metal, make-up, clothes, shoes, etc.

"It's nice to see the gang coming together.

yup. You know, GB was only the gathering place, and as long as we have a gathering place, it won't be bad.

Good to see you again La Diva!

Yay La Diva is here woohoo..!

Hey everyone. This is rockstar. I'm sure you are all aware that I won't have my internet back until later in august. I will be able to check in from time to time with my friends computer and the wireless internet at school. I just wanted to let you all know I am using my name that was intended when I signed up for gb. So it's still me, just with a different name. I will set up my into later. I miss you all very much!!!

Heya! I'm lene/Katànya, and I was more of a lurker/semi poster over at GB.

I used to be very heavily into lolita when I was younger, and when I do dress into things other than my work uniforms or jeans and a black shirt, I can be found in lots of lacy/velvet and satin things. Oh, and big stompy boots!

We need to make this a real party, bonfire, BBQ, moohol, MUZAK, dancing, and the such!!

Hey everyone. Hope we're all fine and dandy and so happy to see so many peeps on here. Really happy that this forum has managed to fox work's evil firewall! Endless always said that I should have given it a good boot! :pirat:

I am a former member of the GB forum until myself and a handful of others were unceremoniously (and unfairly) booted off almost a year and a half ago. Just coming on to say hello.

Parish did give his reasons in the Backroom but I never really understood it too well.

Yeah, some people told me about his "reasons", which amounted to nothing but a complicated mess of lies on his part. I not only PM'd him, but I sent him a LONG email as well, pointing out each discrepancy and untruth. The fact of the matter is that he kicked myself and Nahemah off because we publicly asked him something in a particular thread. What we said didn't involve threats or bad language, just simply a pointed question. He never answered our question, but instead, he kicked us off. What little I remember was that I think it had to do with someone else being kicked off the board or something like that. Some others had asked a question about it and received no answer from him. When myself and Nahemah did, we disappeared from the board....banned for life.

A few days later, I heard some wild story about myself pretending to be Nahemah and others on the board, which was pure insanity. That's when I sent him an email setting him straight on the matter. What pissed me off is that NOT ONCE did he give anyone a warning or anything that the risk of being banned was a possibility. He just did it, never giving anyone a chance to explain. I remember coming home from work one day and looking forward to reading some posts when I attempted to log on, I received a "you're banned" message. Luckily, some super-sneaky friends on the board did some digging on the matter and informed me what little they knew. Unfortunately, ANYONE who even dared ask where Nahemah and I went or who expressed some concern over our being banned were, in turn, banned as well!!!! What me me angry wasn't him banning me, but banning people who did nothing wrong. That shows just how much of an uncaring, control freak Parrish is. From that point, GB was a magazine I no longer subscribed to and some potential advertisers who learned about what happened decided to cancel their paid ads in that magazine.

The very first "refugee" forum was created by myself, maintained by myself and paid for by myself because of Parrish's stupid actions. http://www.deathinbloom.com/crypt

There, at least we support freedom of expression and as admin, I have yet find the need to ban anyone from the forum. In fact, I am known as the "anti-Parrish" because I treat everyone there with respect and caring. It's a community, not some place to carry out control freak fantasies. I am sure the admins of these new board will as well become the antithesis of everything Parrish stood for.

Congratulations to those who quickly created new forums. You are the people who our community relies on!!!

You know, as much as this is going to sound like I'm backing Parrish on this, at least in part. I'm not (totaly), there were some People that were banned for no reason but ...

I think everything that happened in the backroom E.G Slamming my Love the way that was done and slamming my self as well as that 172 packets of spam that GB was bombed with in under two minutes (I wont name the program I know can do that) was Ban worthy, I would do the same thing and if it ever happens on these boards I find out members are being slammed and/or made to feel as worthless as we were first there would be a PM, after that its time for the Admin stick

I mean really, your post reads like you were crusified for doing nothing at all and AFTER the mass bannings made up a forums (it was made before the bannings) but those of us that were there on spam day and those of us that saw the backroom, we know there was merrit to at least part of the night of long knives.
