    In case anyone is wondering...

    I was banned from ParrotForums.com today, apparently because I am an administrator here. I can think of no other reason for it. The only explanation provided from PF's staff is the following ban message that I received when I attempted to access their site earlier this evening:

    You have been banned for the following reason:
    Breaking Rules and Regulations within the forum
    Date the ban will be lifted: Never
    For the record, I did not receive a warning of any sort. Naturally, I'm curious as to which "rules and regulations" the message is referring to and claiming that I have broken there. Sadly, it appears that I may never learn the answer.

    The purpose of my posting about this incident is merely to provide an explanation for why I will no longer be active on Parrot Forums. I'll very much miss interacting with my friends there

    I use to be a Admin of a vary active site. One person who became my friend would jump on and we would take our chit chat (all off topic) to a chat site leaving the forum. Another member joined us and the owner and other admins accused me of trying to start a new site and "stealing members" *rolls eyes* I also know of sites that will ban you if you join another forum like their own.... Its so stupid.

    Sorry you got banned.
    I received several warnings from there for being "rude" when I wasn't, they said I should use more emoticons so people know how I mean things.

    Wow, that's interesting. I've never experienced any issues like that there. And thanks.

    I've never heard of this forum. Usually when someone mentions a new forum I get curious and go check it out. This time I won't. I don't like it when people are banned for no good reason. Sorry to hear of this.

    I too was banned last week from the same forum for the same reason. I have not posted there for over 1 year. The thing there is control. A long time moderator there seems to control all the workings and makes up rules to suit the situation. I will mention no names of course. I was a moderator there for several years. There are many members here who used to be members on the PF.

    I was also banned for the same reasons. I was a Moderator on PF. If they carry on like this, they will have no members left

    All I have to say on the subject is, Stick with us Guys, we wont ban you. We wont send you warnings if you do not use smiley's.
    We certainly will not send you PMs to tell you that you are posting too much. Just feel free to post away We want you all to feel welcome here. We are a very friendly community
