I'm still hoping Nick or a mod will answer the questions I asked awhile ago in this thread.

I think it has been answered many times. He made it clear many times that he did not respect the rules of the board and personally insulted the folks who run the place. And as DHS said he was given many, many warnings.

Now back to the thread. Based on what we've been seeing, POWDR is not going to sell Killington any time soon. And remember that POWDR is only running the ski portion of the business with another entity owning the real estate. Nothing lately regarding any development.

The old policy was once you're banned, you're banned. I think Nick's still taking it slow, I don't think he wants to start off with a lightning rod unban. OSME was a much less polarizing figure, a way to test the unban waters without rocking the boat.

Just my take on things.

OSME was banned. Did I miss something?

OSME was never banned.

that always surprised me. I wasn't around that summer when stuff came out about him but i'd have thought, based on what others told me and the heavy handed moderation that occurs here, that he'd have been lifetime banned immediately. or maybe the story i heard wasn't accurate to begin with.:dunce:

yes

he actually never did use both until now. he 'retired' osme after a hiatus and came back as iwon't. for the record, aliases are not allowed. So, he's been asked to choose who he wants to be.

i heard a rumor that AZ was switching to a paid membership site. if you are paying for access i think you get a lot more flexibility in what is tolerated.

Agreed..

Trailboss, what rules did he not respect? Never realized talking about someones infedility is a against the rules. Let's face facts, that's what really got him banned, not 911. 911 was only the justification. Kind of funny, he didn't commit adultry, he didn't spread the new, but in the end, he got screwed, cause he dared speak of it.
