what happened with the old site? It seems like ... the only mod left ... just having a mental breakdown. They're deleting my jokes on site, so don't they have the ability to kick scumbags like wasp and chum to the kerb and make it a place for jokes like it used to be?

He was never a mod. There were only two, both gone now. Vapeman was used by several people, Lenny wasn't one of them.

Thanks for that. What actually happened though? It seemed like that ginger bloke just spent all day every day creating accounts and was determined to bring the site down, the mods/admin team for whatever reason didn't have the ability to stop him so it just turned to shit, all the good contributors left, then there was what seemed like a legit statement that the site was closing but it's still there just hardly anyone uses it.

The original mods could delete accounts, then they were stopped and only allowed to ban for 7 days, then the recent fuck up they even stopped that. Both the original mods fucked off, I know because I knew who they were, the vapeman account was then shared between a few members. The ginger prick from Oxford was the bane of all versions of the site, cokehead, jailbird, child beater, a proper disturbed person. I've been around sicki since day one, it never recovered from the original shutdown. It's likely he will turn up on here and try spamming this site.

Why didn't the admin sort it out?

Because they were fucking useless.

was that the American with the fake laugh track trying to plug his own channel

I've made most of the most prominent current users 'Mods' so you can always give problem users a 24h ban. If it ever starts getting a real problem I can just get rid of the ability to register as a new user and have it by eMail request only where it's created for them. If you can suggest any changes or upgrades I'll see if I can implement them but it seems pretty good so far. Thanks for making it that way!

Wow, it looks like the Gems are gone from Sickipedia. Upvotes and Downvotes back. I wonder if they've right clicked on this site, gone to 'View Source' and borrowed some code? 😂🤣 Looks like some stuff has been learned. That's great news. I hope the glory days return 🤩

If a proper admin has taken it over and fully ejects the trolls and spammers that would be great but I doubt all the decent contributors would be tempted back anytime soon.

I messaged the admin ‘Sickipedia’ about how fucked everything is — like the ability to comment under other people’s usernames when you’re not logged in, and how the posting system is completely fucked. He told me there was nothing wrong with anything and the site is working “better than ever.” They either just don’t give a shit anymore, or are completely useless.

To be fair, I think they only did the Upvote/Downvote rollback yesterday. The code did start working a bit better today. Probably working his/their ass off trying to get it back the way it was before Gemgate 🤣🙌🤩
