Can somebody please tell me why so many folks LEFT the old http://www.OverUnity.com forum.
I am just curious why so many people left there.
Thanks,

Many of us were banned from OU and several followed to settle here. There exists a huge bias, and the bannings were unjustified. There are several factors and issues involved, but I'd rather just state that here we would like to be more objective, yet remain open. Integrity is important, and the hard questions are welcomed rather than frowned upon.
OU is not conducive to hard science and sound methods. The lack of quality and integrity at the two other popular forums speak for themselves.

it seemd to me to be after the admin of that site you mentioned was rude to Agent Gates who had promising details of new designs on OU but never had a chance to tell us more,
so we have deserted the original OU site and come here hoping AG will return to a friendlier place where we respect him highly for help in future experiments with OU and follow his unique fresh ideas.
Cheers Rob.
I believe everyone deserves a fair chance.

The whine is not bad either. ;D

The rubbsih software may have had something to do with it. Those on dial-up have no chance.
For instance, the size of the front page is around 250k and the useful content - 20k ?

Too many people randomly unloading truckloads of crazy in the middle of the street tends to block the path of progress.
your all only missing the key link .. thats it ...
its the kick simple try it with a bit of current and DO NOT TOUCH IT !
ist
For a moment my heart sank when I saw Inexplicably STupid, illiterate Muppet that he is, denoted as 'group moderator'... until that is, I realised this was just on his workbench... phew!!
No doubt, from this point forward we can all now expect truck loads of utter nonsense and multiple garbage posts to detract from any sensible discussion. What a shame.
I hope this is not another forum about to take a drastic nose dive into the gutter due to this moron being allowed to roam loose and create havoc!

IST has been removed from the forum.

Thankfully common sense reins on this forum. :)
My apologies Ken... but it wasn't really name-calling as such as the words were carefully chosen and perfectly describe the individual in question.
Thanks for the offer of chocolate, but I'm trying to watch my figure... you know how it is! ;)

It took over 5K posts at the other forum to accomplish what has been done here in one day. :o
1000 posts, now that's a busy guy
2000 posts, watch those fingers fly
3000 posts, we've got to wonder why
4000 posts, do the moderators even try
5000 posts, FINALLY-but no one left to wave goodbye

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
waht did he do wrong? >:(
I think he was being IST.
Your comments are appreciated of course Ken, but most members here are quite familiar with IST and his nutty antics over the last few years at OU.com. Stefan tolerates far too much imo, but then again, he is mostly interested in site hits rather than quality content. That much is obvious to most.
I warned IST about the guidelines and what is acceptable. I asked him to be decent and reasonable. Obviously he chose not to honor any of this, and he was banned from registering at this forum. Most are probably surprised we even allowed him the 24 hours or so he did have to wreak havoc here.
.99
Funny thing about IST is that lots of people take him seriously on the other forums. I don't mean to be nasty but once I saw him post, "I've had no formal training." No kidding, I watched an IST two or three-parter on YouTube once and it was obvious that IST had absolutely no clue what he was doing.
He was politely asked to be reasonable by Poynt and then went right ahead and blew himself away in a blaze of IST posting glory!

I never said anything until now, and now I'll say it here:
The dramatic arguments and insults at Overunity was enough that I usually stayed on my own thread...
http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=8010.0
... and didn't get into the pointless
"skit" (Swedish slang word for
dung, crap, bullshit) that others were into.
I like this form that .99 probably won't---and shouldn't---put up with that.

User "Quarktoo" has been banned and his account deleted.
I am still a member of two other forums, yes there seems to be a attitude problem over there, but also some nice people too. One of your members asked me to join, so here I am.
I am under contract so there will be little input on that project.
You can see what I am doing at Youtube.
Channel is HHOforVOLTS
Topic of interest "Bedini no it's a Starship"
Series of 5 videos on that topic as on this date.
Richard
Poynt,
Quarktoo banned!
I've never seen behavior like that?,I really don't understand it.
All that effort into doing "bad"!
?
Poynt, you should probably have the place fumigated!
And I think I need some kind of Vaccine!

The "Trollers" such a Quarktoo are really quite brilliant and possess
considerable manipulative skill. Unfortunately, they've become
addicted to the "high" of intensely emotional exchange which results
from their "baiting" techniques.
To the "Trollers" it is just a game. Their delight derives from stepping
on people.
.99 has done us a great favor by "nipping it in the bud" while at the
same time providing an object lesson in how to "spot" the "actors."
I think I was quite lenient with the fellow, but after seeing that blog, that was simply too much.
.99
As for Replies #'s 28 & 29,
I've noticed not everyone agrees with .99's decision, but I sure do. Dumps and .99 have it right.
.99 is running this show, and so far, he seems to me to be fair enough in his dealings with others that I've read.
So, he gets to call the shots, since he's the Pied Piper to be paid on this board. Trolls can find that out the hard way.
Does anyone think this is valid?
"All attempts to eradicate the web of IST has failed and is believed to be the reason the FCC is taking control of the web. Said Senator Webb after recent FCC hearings on the matter, "I had no idea it was this bad."
The American Troll Society was just awarded a three million dollar grant from Dept. Of Homeland Security for efforts to control trolling."

I absolutely hope not! What's to keep them from standing in judgment on anyone who disagrees with them? Oh, and if "IBM" is somehow responsible for part of this trolling problem, who can deal with their software engineers---who are probably familiar with software viruses?

Thankful to Poynt for banning Quarktoo aka Neuropsychic.
Obviously he was an emotionally immature individual with too much time on his hands.
His blogspot is proof of this. He made no contribution to this forum and disrespected many here. I applaud his removal.
I left the other forums because they are Moonies. I already Love/Hate Humbugger because he comes across as "edicated" I won't be going to any more bedini fests although I would hope to see a unified Overunity type conference open to all comers.
I will say the Nattering Nabob factor here is quite large.
I propose that this group comes up with a Unified Overunity Qualifying Test that would be a Benchmark for all and we would know when someone has achieved Nirvana or what ever it take to get to the store free to buy a lollypop. Especially a UBOT-- unified bedini output test.
Let's get in to the Lab and see what's on the Slab!

It's "EJAMAKATED", silly! All my ejamakayshun comes from hands on bench work, by the way. On actual products that were built and mass-produced and sold at a profit because they actually performed as advertised. None were OU devices, sad to say.
Humbugger
HUMANOID: "The sky is blue!"
HUMBUGGER: "The sky is not, in fact blue! You just want it to be blue above your lollypop lane!"
I dig it. I hope you see though I am calling upon you to spearhead the charge toward an Industry Standard to gauge what overunity is.
Be it motive power in and motive power out or electricity in and potential out.
Something or other but something along the lines of Pure Science that I am sure you desire here. Well, that and the chance to point out the redickalus.
You are a born leader!
No, No...
Humbugger says "The sky is not blue, it just looks blue to us because...the blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.
However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue."
See?
As far as being a born leader, I had a boss tell me that once. He was an engineering department Director and I was a manager under him. In the next breath, however, he said "but you're a terrible employee" and then he fired me. Only time in my life I've ever been fired. 1983 at ATL Ultrasound (now Siemens). Seems I embarrased several director-level types by presenting a $20 solution to a problem they had spent $280,00 trying to solve, unsuccessfully.
I say we put up a 'Ban' button for everyone to press and see who's left. Then the admin deletes the last guy and brings back all the banned users. And we start over. Then we bring back all the deleted users at then end after deleting 'The Last Banned User'. Sounds pretty democrapic to me.
Or better yet. Assign a timeout to a thread of limited value which delete posts or threads deemed unusable. Like a Sunami up the back side.
I guess the kiddies had a good time with the troll thing. Just goes to show how dangerous the after effects of what too many Cokes and Twinkies can do.

This is a direct writing to Poynt(.99):I'm tired of OU.com's refusal to ban the likes of WilbyInebriated or Dr. Novak(the Nazi sympathizer).
I'm telling the readers of my two main threads on OU.com of my decision to walk away because these to insulting individuals remain 'UNbanned'.
hartiberlin(Stefan), the head Moderator at OU.com, is responsible for keeping the peace on his board---and I don't like what I see there.
So far, .99 is doing that here. I'll continue to post here with satisfaction, since he does control negative outbursts from trolls, flamers, or whoever insults others.

I was banned from OU for for a funny picture aimed at Wilby and again for a supposed flame war with Quarktoo. Harti keeps those two there regardless of what they do. Whatever. Nothing there but noise.
I keep tabs on the Energetic Forum (Renewable Energy) to
follow developments in several key threads. It is good
to see how the "noobs" interact and encourage each other
with their projects. It is also good to see evidence of growth
in technical proficiency and understanding. Sure, there is a
lot of confusion going around and a lot of fallacious thinking,
but all in all positive trends.
For the most part.
Then every now and again Aaron seems to come unglued.
His recent musings on the Water Spark Plug and Water Spark
Plug 2 seem a bit over-dramatic. His threats against one
notorious member "Crackahcrackah" who dared to open
accounts in other 'names' in response to banning is classic.
Plus, threatening to ban "Firangi" for comments which "add
nothing to this situation" is hard to figure. Is it that time of the
month?
Seems Aaron is easily provoked into his "high and mighty"
mode where he threatens "bannings" to those who are
insufficiently sycophantic, or whatever, ad nauseum.
Those who've spent time in the military may recall a riddle.
Question: "What's the difference between the Army (or Service
of choice) and the Boy Scouts?"
Answer: "The Boy Scouts have Adult Leadership."
So, what's the difference between Energetic Forum and the Boy Scouts?
What's happening on the "Bedini Ferris Wheel Regauging Motor" discussion
is somewhat troubling. The prices hopeful "builders" must shell out to
obtain the required wire lengths or coils is rather appalling.
Oh well, the price of learning "wisdom" has always been high...
Let us hope the migration to this forum and the few others which are
much more in alignment with "truth" gains momentum.
Dumped, I also poke my nose in over there from time to time, mainly to see if the 'high and mighty' claims of one or two members who state they know-it-all ever come to fruition. Of course, so far, diddly-squat.
Not only do I think Aaron is a complete and utter, self-important dickhead, but I also think he's currently showing his true colours. Whatever else happens, whatever people say, whether they be right or wrong or simply expressing an opinion, Aaron gets on his high horse and always has the final word. Then he starts banning people and locking threads. Nobody knows more - or better - than Aaron, he is the be-all and end-all, and if he sees anyone as a threat to his greatness and superiority, they have to go! Like many political leaders, the power goes to his head and leaves no room for common sense or rational thinking. I believe it's called a god complex.
I also think that he, and the likes of Lindemann, take advantage of the uneducated by implying they know far more than they really do and then promoting their version of science by way of books for sale on his forum. How can his forum be open-source if he likes to keep things back for his books? Surely this is a conflict of interests. I find the guy quite despicable and truly believe him to be a charlatan of the first order. To my mind he's simply out to line his pockets, profiting from the gullible, while gaining some celebrity in the process. A prize jerk and an utter disgrace!
Glad I got that off my chest! :)
