 I saw the post in question, and trust me, rkcr isn't generally an insulting person. He's proven to be of great benefit to the Scorehero community, and feels strongly about holding it together. I think this was why he made the post, although he probably did take it a little too far. The internet is like that - people will always misinterpret actions and arguments crop up much more easily than in the "real world", so to speak. I know you don't like it, but you'll need to just put it behind you - internet arguments are never a good thing. I will take this opportunity to apologise on his behalf - once again, he doesn't generally act that way towards others.

 I'll understand if you no longer want to be a part of Scorehero, but if you'd still like to use the forums, use a proxy to sign up for a new account. Back when I made my original account, I accidentally typo'd a score without realising, putting it several hundred thousand above the true first place score. The account was banned for this, but I wanted to get back into the community and figured a proxy would bypass the IP ban. Once I'd signed up for the new account, I found that I didn't need to use the proxy anymore, it was only needed for signing up.

	One word of advice, though - don't advertise the fact that you have an old account, or that you used a proxy in order to sign up for a new one. There have been cases of people making threads asking why their old accounts were banned. >_> [[User:Thegibbonator\|Thegibbonator]] 18:08, 19 July 2008 (PDT)		One word of advice, though - don't advertise the fact that you have an old account, or that you used a proxy in order to sign up for a new one.

	My "grudge" here was intended to motivate someone -- anyone -- from the ScoreHero community to take enough interest to work on the article here, otherwise, what's the point in even hosting it on this site, if nobody cares enough to caretake it? That being said, I'm glad my stubborn reaction did in fact motivate you to "fix" the situation. Are you a ScoreHero member or moderator? -- [[User:MyWikiBiz\|MyWikiBiz]] 05:34, 19 July 2008 (PDT)		My "grudge" here was intended to motivate someone -- anyone -- from the ScoreHero community to take enough interest to work on the article here, otherwise, what's the point in even hosting it on this site, if nobody cares enough to caretake it?

		+	RE: Grudge on ScoreHero
		+
		+	Unfortunately, it IS a Scorehero rule that advertisment of other websites is forbidden, unless it is done through the use of signatures. I know it seems stupid, but even though your intentions were well-mannered, you were still breaking a rule by posting about the site. I'm not the one who controls the rules, but if I did, trust me, I'd remove that rule. Other than that, I feel Scorehero is run extremely well - the community is a strong one and there's a distinct lack of idiots. When an idiot does crop up (generally in the Software section <_<), they're dealt with smoothly and efficiently.

		+
		+	Thegibbonator, welcome to MyWikiBiz. Just so you know the back story... I went well out of my way to ask a Wikipedia admin to recover the deleted Wikipedia article about ScoreHero. I then posted it on my site here. When I noted that the ScoreHero forum was talking about retrying Wikipedia with an article, I went on their forum to tell them that their previous article was still available here, and to give a little advice about not trying to "promote" a topic on Wikipedia, since that's the #1 way to get the Wikipediot "locals" in a huff against your topic.
		+
		+	Well, some member (or was he a moderator) on ScoreHero's forum decided to insult me for "promoting" my website on "their" message board. I replied that this was rather ungrateful. And in a few hours, my ScoreHero forum account was "banned" from their site. I cannot even '''read''' the ScoreHero forums any more -- all I see is a message that I am blocked.
