What a way to run a community...

It´s simply disgusting!
I´m really sorry this had to happen to you, after all your brillant effort and time spent there.
I´m really gratefull I arrived on time to meet you there, you really taught me a lot, in very little time. Thanks to your lessons I´ve been able to offer some low key support on the official spanish phpbb support board. Which is a nice little community with nothing like their big brother´s harshness. |

II guess I don´t know even half of it all. Incredible really, that´s not a way to build a community nor to treat your fellow contributors. And the end result is a virtually useless easymod section where very little usefull support is being received nowadays by all those users.

I used to offer technical support at phpBB.com until I was banned for 3 days because I had two images in my signature. I had nearly 2000 posted messages at phpBB.com at the time, most of which were helping others. Then over at Area 51, within hours after phpBB.com went down for an extended period, I was banned for 3 days because I questioned why 3Di was locking valid and open topics. I sent PMs to his superiors and was immediately banned. Apparently the actions of any Team Member are beyond question, at least in their mindes. I had over 7000 messages at Area 51 at that point, most of which were assisting others with their problems...
I refuse to participate in a place where the Staff are allowed to bully the volunteers and disrupt the community like that. And like you say, the EM forums are pretty worthless now that they have driven all of the volunteer help away. What a way to run a community...

There are plenty of technical communities that appreciate the effort from those who can volunteer their time, effort, and energy to those who need assistance. The phpBB.com Staff have a lot to learn about creating a pleasant and productive environment and until they stop bullying people around and treating people like crap, they will continue to experience a brain-drain in their community. There may be a day when no one will help anyone and phpBB may die a quick and painful death. It would be a shame if that were to happen, so hopefully the attitude will change before it is too late...
