Bravo Delta Zero? WTF?

Did a related website in the community go down? Come back up? Relocate to a new address? Install pop-up advertisements?

This forum is for discussion of these sorts of issues.

Yeah, now I can see it too.

Hm ... Well, I can say it looks genuine enough. If some guy made it up, he went to some effort getting the postcounts and such things reasonably right. Though that's not really proof, of course.

Yes it's genuine. The screengrab is several years old at this point so the post counts don't match.

Thanks for the imput, Donner. I guess I'll just keep the Database entry up as is until more information is forthcoming. My only real concern is that this Brunner person posted only a screencap of the main page, and not any of the forum's threads.

Would you be willing to say how you obtained it?

I was a member and took a screenshot. I found it on my HDD a while back and cropped out whatever could be used to ID me, because I don't particularly trust that my info would not be posted and my family and I harassed.

Unfortunately I lost most of the stuff I had saved in a HDD crash, I'm not even sure how that shot survived.

I perfectly understand, Brunner. Thank you for making that admission as I think you can understand when I say that in doing so it raises your credibility here with folks that much more.

Too bad. Do you think you can recall enough to give us an idea of what a typical thread topic was like?

IIRC it was mostly stuff like "trekkies at (insert site)" and calls for support in debates.

Believe it or don't, doesn't matter to me if you do.

Without giving away who you are, can you go into details on a particular incident and site?

Sorry, no. The group was shut down about two years ago when Wong disappeared and probably hadn't had anything steady in it for about a year before that.

Sorry you're unable to do that, Brunner. That would have provided an interesting cross-comparison to an actual debate where this group was called to intervene in. There's a couple of possible examples I can think of where they might have. Even still it is very interesting that what you said implies that without Wong providing "leadership" the whole thing fell apart.
