I have no idea who our Fairy Podmother is and it doesn't matter to me. Her actions do mean something to me, however. She has been kind and respectful, and I believe truly sincere in her efforts here. I didn't know who Kristina and Jeff were either, btw, when I signed on there but I did lurk awhile before I signed up and fell in love with the community.
Adam, the interloper, is a snake. I won't go anywhere near his site after the way he acted here today.

Hmmm... Am I imagining it or did our admin remove the link from his initial post? I'm relatively sure when I was reading this earlier today the link was gone .... Now it says his first post has been edited by him 8 hrs ago and the link is back.
Not that it matters, it's a ghost town over there. But if he slipped in and put the link back, kind of a strange thing to do if he's as genuine as he claims.

You'd think it'd be pretty obvious by now that no one is buying what he is selling so why is he still trying so hard? Admin should come back and delete/change his link/thread and then lock the thread.

The clickable link was removed but the admin left it as dot com which I think was more than fair. She could have had a change of heat but it is more likely Adam changed it. This whole thing backfired on him and the more I think about it, there was more than likely something in it for him. Looks like 50 out of 2,500 set up accounts and probably half were duped by him inferring the new board was made in agreement with this boards admin. Epic fail Adam.

Twice, actually. The first time, I thought it might just have been me not breaking the link properly, but I made a mental note to check back later in case I was wrong. Now there is no doubt, so time for more definitive action.

You have my support and I am sure that, gauged by the response on this thread, the support of the majority of members.

I've followed this thread since yesterday b/c the PeaPod is my down-time entertainment. And this site quickly felt like home. So when I first saw the OP yesterday, my thoughts were: "I'm too emotionally drained to have lost and then found the PeaPod in the space of 24 hours. If everyone moves again, then maybe it's a sign I need to leave it all behind." So I'm glad ya'll are staying!!!

I cannot believe he changed the link back, after Admin changed it. He also edited it to add extra features for his site with no activity.
Because of this, his statement that he won't be posting here again, and his refusal to answer our questions, I'd ban twopeaspail. Because another pea who knows him in real life has been mentioned in this thread and posted, I would either hide this thread from view by anyone but admins and mods (if the forum gives that ability) or create an archive area that can only be seen by mods/admins and move the thread there. I'd want the thread for future reference, so I wouldn't hard-delete it.
On my own forum, which is drama-free, I'd probably post an announcement thread with bare-bones info of what happened and lock it and invite people who wanted to discuss it to send me a PM. But since this is Two Peas, which operates quite differently, I'd probably start a new thread giving the bare-bones summary, with no mention of the OP's name, his, site name or URL and leave people to discuss as they wish.

Now there is no doubt, so time for more definitive action. The fact that he showed no respect for you as admin [edited to change word "mod" to "admin", my mistake] by editing his post twice: Definitely a ban-worthy offense! And complete removal of the site link. No reason for this site to make anybody aware that the other even exists. Especially since as of 2:20 PM yesterday, he had not activated the site license to be running an authorized version of the software. The software company and I will be watching closely over the next week to make sure the software is activated or the forum is deleted. The more members here can do to post links to THIS site and refer to it with the words 2 Peas Refugees, on their Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, blogs, any social media sites where it's okay to post the link, the more links to our site will show in the top pages of Google search results.

Can someone who had set up an account over there post something over there to the effect of, "This site stinks. I prefer 2peasrefugees.boards.net/"
And see if it disappears...

I'd actually love to see somebody post over there to the effect of: Please DO NOT post my words below on the other site. Read my Edit note below for an explanation why not. I bet that would get removed VERY quick, which would also show clearly the intentions behind creating the site. EDIT: Someone posted that a couple of times and it was removed. However, the admin here has now deleted Adam's link to his site. I have removed any link to his site or name of it from all my posts here, as I don't want to give that site any kind of publicity whatsoever. I respectfully ask that if you posted these words on the other site under the username "adamsucksballs," that you please go edit that post and remove my words. If you want to leave your own words there, you're free to do whatever you wish. I also ask that nobody else post my words on that site. Thank you for respecting my wishes.

I need to search for this hairflip, hee. Pretty awesome that the Peas can get a guy to hairflip and within two weeks on a brand-new board. Talk about the power of the Peas!

Rereading the original post, referring to his site as "our new home", implying admin was on board, consequently unbreaking his link TWICE after admin broke it all point to his wrong intentions. I don't believe for a min. the "friend" posting in their defense was the original pea.
Every tidbit he used to make it look as if his wife really was a pea was always something that had just been mentioned up thread (he used Kristina and Jeff's name shortly after someone talked about them here). The "friend" saying, "as the peas often say, wow just wow", was designed to imply she was entrenched in peadom. Every single one of his posts was transparently crafted using info he gleaned from reading the board a day or so before trying to steal the traffic.
I think at this point, in light of, him not leaving graciously but instead continuing to divert traffic, him saying he needs to "discuss" turning the hijacked domain name over (discuss=agree on a price) and all his other shenanigans, I hope no one continues to give him the benefit of the doubt. Re activating the link TWICE should seal that!

Now there is no doubt, so time for more definitive action. Time to blockity-block him then, I would think. I will admit, I was one who hoped he had good intentions. As I said, I lose a little more faith in the human race every day and was hoping this was truly a nice gesture. I thought maybe the people here were just being defensive and skeptical. Well, I consider myself to be naive and this shows why. I was hoping it was all good will. Many people in my real life still practice that. Here is another lesson I have learned from the peas. Dangit. I hate that people can be less than honorable. I'm still going to try to see the best in people though! I can't let myself believe right off the bat that every intention is shady. Looks like this one may have been though. So sad. Thankfully, I didn't sign up there. But still feel duped.

I did the math. Each page holds 30 posts, whereas the old TwoPeas had 50 a page. So, in old TwoPeas world, this thread would be 11.4 pages. Yep, I think we've got a "gate" post, all right!
