greg_r Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 The new forum does not remember me. I had to re=register my user name....lost my entire post count and anything that I did on the old forum. Also, there are no sub forums yet....just a guest forum. Sadly we were unable to recover the old database, so it's effectively a new forum. The guest forum is the only one visible until you're signed in - the others will then appear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_r Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Folks, I'm the admin of RWG1.1 - aka the new "animal house of watch forums" (and no, I'm not Blade masquerading under another nom-de-plume ) I just wanted to say a BIG thankyou to the admins and mods here (especially TT) for their support and encouragement - AND for allowing us to make a public announcement about our existence. Thanks again, guys - you're tops. Greg_r admin: replica-watch-guide.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 If I had us living in the basement I'd give us all the help I could as well. Seriously, thanks for having us folks. As I stated earlier, if we had had nowhere to gather we would never have got the old girl up again. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omni Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 RWG.com (RWG1) is no more, RWG.net (RWG.1.1) is just an attempt to continue the nonsense that was taking place there by the membership, it is not really a replacement, think of it now as the funny smelling parent to this forum that has progressed to requiring changes of adult diapers for incontinence. (In other words, it was time to move the parent out of the house because it couldn't take care of itself and put it in a home). It has always been around in the background so number it what you will. There are really only 3 main serious rep. forums of note, RWG.cc, Repgeek and RWI. RWG.com was always at the bottom for the last 2 years for site visitors.

greg_r Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hi all, I'm the admin over on RWG1.1 and it appears that a number of people have been having difficulty signing up due to the Captcha validation system (thanks to Kenberg for letting me know what the problem was). Anyhow - anyone who has tried to sign up but has failed due to Captcha validation problems has now had their accounts approved manually. In addition, the Captcha has been turned off, so hopefully the problem won't arise again. The system has emailed those affected, but I thought I'd post a heads-up here for anyone that slips through the net as it were - you should now be able to just log in - no validation needed for those who have tried before. Thanks for your patience, all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 like Dani, that the post-[censored] prattle crowd that is useless to a serious replica watch forum has finally gone back to their playground. (For a sample look at the stains left at the "Looney Bin" by this recent rabble). You talk like we here don't now what rwg1 is, you may remember i had 4000+post on that many in the looneybin.And so did many of the veteran here we made RWG1 what it was..Most veterans left for the better ...I got away from all the post count crap after leaving rwg1 now i try use my time positive here yes i em considered a little devil by the mod team but thats have it is i em sure they all love me still , i can be trubbel I just don't like have the forum went rwg1 and i don't want to support it at all not whit my prencence or anything else..And when i see all time in the post box where you can view new intersting post i see all the time RWG1:CHIKEN LEGS or what not i got tierd as that is not why i em here and 95% of the forum. Serious yes we are, we are on a forum for replica watches not a pig house forum and just to ad we are considered the ultimate crowd here for knowledge and craftsmanship non other forum comes close. Yeah, buh bye. So most importatntly, at RWG1.1 you don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 you are to me just trash ready to be sent to the dump. I hope you enjoy the new forum and that i never see your presence here any more..I smelled [censored] from you early on and i was correct, now dont get left behind so the rotten smell gets worse here.. DANI I will be around here as long as I am a paying member. You have been [censored] at me ever since I called you out for paying tribute to Jorg Haider - a Nazi apologist and Holocaust denier. That is fine by me, but suggesting this is about anything else is pure fiction. If anyone doubts me, read the thread yourself... http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...6&hl=haider I have made my own mistakes and caused grief and harm. I admitted those mistakes and asked for forgiveness. That is how I maintain I maintain some semblance of self-respect. I won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) Dani, Dani, Dani. We're not going! We'll still be here. Don't fret mate! I like this place. I'll be here on and off. So will most of the rest. Even you are welcome at RWG-Redaux (it appears to be catching, think I'll claim copy right). I can even say you won't be banned, not by me at any rate. You'r far too much fun! We need folk like you in the world to remind us why so many gave their all 'twixt '39 and '45. See ya 'round pal!

JohnG Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 BTW, who was it who turned my thread into a TTK fest? Ya, I know you didn't meen it. Was that me??? Its entertaining to watch, its funny, its chaos, its anarchy, its camaraderie, its really stupid at times, its really cruel and mean at times, its blog posts, all wrapped and tied around a somewhat interest in replica-watches, very weird. I agree with TT that this is a good post and description of RWG1.1, though I would argue it ignores the real value in RWG1. I also believe in "civilized" discourse and not so civilized discourse. But "uncivilized" is not to say without worth. Civilized behavior can often be a mere facade that hides truths and serves only as an obstacle to real growth or change. I have learned many things about myself on the forums, some of which I am not proud of. If I had always behaved in a civilized manner, would these things have been less true? Is he who, out of fear of reprimand or exclusion, controls his conduct, a better person for it? I think not. There are plenty of assholes in the moderated forums, but their conduct is shaped by fear, not by genuine respect or tolerance. One consequence of the unmoderated chaos of RWG1 is that some prankster searched my user name and eventually found that I am member of a support group for pornography addiction. This person posted this information with a usurped id from the support forum. At first I was outraged and immensely humiliated. But if I have one virtue, it is a willingness to face difficult truths about myself. I set aside my desire to identify that person and seek revenge - because the truth was that while at one time I had been on a path to recovery, at the time the post was made, I had been relapsed for a long time. I was viewing pornography and masturbating for upwards of four or five hours a day. No one who has not engaged in similar self-destructive and complusive behavior can begin to imagine the shame, disgrace, and self-hatred it seeds in those it affects. I swore to myself with great sincerity and conviction day after day that I would stop - only to give in the next day or even later the same day. That is what I was doing with my life when that post was made. In any other forum a post disclosing such private information would have been yanked immediately, its author banned, and I would never have been forced to face that truth about myself. So I was forced to choose between fleeing the forum (and the truth), lying and admitting that it was me but saying that I was "sober", or looking squarely into the mirror and admitting to myself what I had, once again, become. I am free of pornography today - for over three months. The reason? Because I have been honest with myself and I have again sought help. But the CATALYST was the "cruelty" of one poster in an unmoderated fake watch forum AND the loving support of a number of its members, who, despite my many defects, see something worthwhile in me and extended their friendship under circumstances that had me wanting to slit my own throat. That forum had a real impact on my life in a way that few others could. I think it is wrong to attempt to rank the relative merit of what was left behind at RWG1 and what was carried forward to its offspring. They are different and serve different purposes. RWG.cc is the best site for technical information and expertise on replica watches, bar none. It is also home to a large number of interesting, intelligent, and generous people. But that said, RWG1 is a lot more than just a place for entertainment, voyerism, and silly juvenile humor. And regardless of my conduct there on any given day, I will always feel an enormous gratitude both to its membership and its particular anarchist format.
