Quote from: Manga on February 28, 2015, 01:25:24 PMdoes anyone know why did the old admin left the forum and when?
Someone was able to find out his identity and vandalized his property, so he stepped down and sold the old forum to the current admin.
Was the previous admin another scammer? I know he was hard on some people. What did he do?
I don't know. but I don't think the previous admin was a scammer. I think he legitamatly wanted people to write diaries so he could safely get LL for himself.
Thank you FP, I guess it makes sense. It's too bad he sold it to one of the worst kind of guy to run his forum

There were some allegations that he did business with the Beijing clinic, anyway this seems to be a good summary of his antics.

Quote from: ItsMyLife on February 24, 2015, 05:21:13 PM some changes have been made to the Encyclopedia to make it seem more parody, lol, to try to evade the potetntial lawsuit
That ED article is obviously a mockery of something that happened on the old forum with plenty of insulting thrown in for good measure. It's kinda retarded to sue them because parody is the ultimate expression of freedom of speech. That said, they really should remove those parts about racism and family, but hey their site their rules.
Quote from: MrPopo on October 16, 2014, 09:23:05 PMI am what you might call a "concerned citizen" who frequents the website Encyclopedia Dramatica. Two days ago it came to light that sysop, someone you may know better as SysOp, filed a civil lawsuit against 20 "John Doe" defendants for libel, defamation, and copyright infringement.
While I am not a lawyer, and anything I say should not be taken as legal advice, it is worth mentioning that this lawsuit is quite frivolous and pointless; but nonetheless can become an annoyance to anyone involved if left to fester unknown like Shahn would be prefer it did.
When people annoy you in frivolous legal matters, the right thing to do is defend yourself and then countersue for legal expenses/harassment. I'm not a lawyer either, but I do know somebody who practice law and is of the opinion that this is a frivolous lawsuit
It is is commonly known as a SLAPP lawsuit ( strategic lawsuit against public participation), intended to censor and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense until they abandon their criticism or opposition.
1) Copyright infringement
This is a funny one, it would be like Justin Bieber suing TMZ for publishing his picture. The Fair Use Clause allow legal use of copyright material for the purpose of commentary, criticism, review, news, etc. Waste of time.
2) Libel/Defamation
You can't override the freedom of speech which protect an opinion or truth. Comments made in the context of an Internet bulletin board are highly likely to be opinions or hyperbole. Another pointless claim.
On the other hand, there are law governing fraud and deceit.
http://www.new-york-attorney.org/new-york-fraud-law.html
These type of violations are illegal, especially if you have a duty to disclose
Deceit - intentional misrepresentation, concealment, a false promise or a negligent misrepresentation.
Fraud - fraudulent inducement and fraudulent concealment
Just had a look at SysOp's ED page for the first time in ages and the link the to a ED forum thread where they discussed he lawsuit. It appears SysOp terminated the lawsuit back in May: https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/4636082/Andersen_v_Does
I noticed that his name is censored by the word filter, which isn't necessary anymore now that the lawsuit hit a cul-de-sac.
Which one is the "old forum"?
Is anold forum about LL. The most knowed . You could find it easy using google. but we use "the old forum" to dont give publicity
gotcha
