Ok, well this is my part of the story, as far as bacteria is concerned.
I joined BH around the summer of '09, I had messed around on there, made some standard noobish threads, found out about MR, joined there, ETC. It wasn't long after I had joined, everything was peaceful for a while, untill I got a PM from bacteria, explaining his "leaving quietly". I blindly followed him, asking where he was going next, and basically praising him like a god.
I had followed him when he was on Instructables for a short time, then the move to racketboy. On racketboy I had started to talk to bacteria more and more, frequent skype chats between me, Klay, bacteria, nintendott, and sometimes nevermind1534. In a series of chats, Bacteria had explained that when he had left MR, they had demoted him and deleted his FTP account, however, they had not known that bacteria had also known Palmer's FTP account and password ( they were really *derp* passwords too palmer, seriously? Freeman?) he had told me the account, but it is true he had told me not to use it. He had stated "Don't use this" but our chats often went on for hours, fanticizing about what "we" should do when the time was right.
At this point, I had basically thought that bacteria wanted to *Can'tSayThisOnTV* with MR, so, I recruited klay, i had him log in via FTP, we replaced the banner image with a gif of palmers face being ripped in half by a gigantic, veiny dick, as well as a shockslayer face moving in from the left, I can't remember what it said though, something along the lines of "I have a small dick" or something like that. In addition, we also deleted the Post.php (or something similar) It made users unable to post, after that, we both got some serious troll's remorse, and klay started chatting with Jlee, and they put the site back together. Later that day (or the next morning, again, can't remember) Bacteria had seen what was done, and was pretty pissed. However, he didn't seem pissed about MR being down, he seemed more pissed about the attack being under his own name. In the concluding talks with palmer and Jlee, I was forced to post a huge post from bacteria that basically washed his hands of the situation, I knew it wasn't right, but I took the fall for him
as I had "nothing" to loose.
I spent the next year and a half ('09-'10-first months of '11) attempting to make up for what I had done, and rightfully so, I was given the cold shoulder by the MR community. and again, you had every right to be pissed. I hung around bacteria's website for a while, but then I started to grow up, I snapped out of his way of thinking, and started seeing his playground rules, blatant computer illiteracy, and stubbornness. I started to point it out, and bacteria's "moderation team" (see Ministry of Peace) Had just hushed me up, kicked me from chat, or even gone so far as to delete my posts because of "swearing".
I had found Palmer on facebook, and we had an occasional chat about the community, and apparently he had decided that I really was a changed member, and maybe I wasn't just a bacterian judas for once. we had discussed some ways of getting me back on the site, I had created a few accounts since I had been banned, I had hung around on those, but never really posted, I didn't feel right posting without the -dnt username. Then the glitch happened, I had my chance to get back on, and I did. Anyways, you know the story from here.
Then, this happened, I've gon over to mbb and posted some of these thoughts, asked bacteria directly WHY he is still so hostile against MR, and also posting in raizers demotion thread about "it's the internet" and "if you don't like the place, nobody is forcing you to go to MR", "maybe if you want to stop being attacked, stop pissing them off, and buy some hosting" (There have been countless times where bacteria has mistaken a freeforums issue with an attack). How did they respond? Well, they deleted my account, and Romlops account, because apparently the Ministry thinks that is the best way to deal with issues like this, snuff them out.
anyways, I have plenty of ways to contact bacteria, and trust me, I'm going to be talking to him. I WILL get a response. As well, if any members still have contact with any other members that were involved it would be great if you could have them add to, or back this story, I will be contacting Klay, and asking him to confirm this story.
This is the most accurate story I have ever posted about these events, I am not proud of my part in them, but they need to be posted. The hostility betweent these sites needs to end, Pronto.
(sorry for the post being so far away from the other, I'm on vacation, I have to write my posts offline then come back here and post them.) I am posting this because of this

As per usual, people with a percentage of knowledge think they know everything that's going on. You don't. You can extract pages from a book but without knowing all the pages before and after them, the meaning and intent will be entirely open to misinterpretation, and that's before bias editing or extracts are compiled to lever one way and not the other.
