thats a bit unfair if you are refferring to the poutine, or the bunnies. i find that stuff funny and it gives the forum some humour

Nope. I'm referring to other stuff. One of the admins bumped a five-year-old topic to voice an opinion (which was basically to try forum software for yourself), as a more specific example.

i think i'll do it now, see if i get banned (if i do, its ridiculous)
You most likely wont as you are just discussing it and you dont own it. I was banned for running an Admin Forum - A Direct competitor.
 
TheAdminZone is pretty much dead now. They got what, about 15k posts in the last 10 weeks, I'm sorry, but a forum with that many members, I'd consider that dead.
 
its not dead, but it is dying<br /><br />-- May 22nd, 2011, 8:41 am --<br /><br />

i wonder what they think of FP, maybe i'll make a topic asking. (or will i get banned for that ? lol)
I would like to ask that you do not do this. While we all may not agree with the way they run their site, we don't want our reputation and our forums name being used in any act to deliberately get a negative reaction from any community.
 
it would not be deliberately to get banned,tbh i do want to know what they think of FP but okay, if you dont want me to do it, i wont 🙂
 
I have gotten the "Main Page Welcome" many times before but I dint know that was all a joke of banning. I put my site in my signature over there and the site rocks but the banning and punishments suck.
 
Wow my admin forum with 700 posts just got me banned from TAZ. Amazing....

Pretty sad right? They ban just about every forum owner that has a similar site in their niche whether its big or new. Like seriously, what competition would my forum, shady's and yours have with TAZ? Its a huge forum. I wish people would see this thread.
 
When I ran a promotion forum & tried to plug it there, I got banned. I emailed the admin and asked him to unban me. He did. That was a couple years ago. Ive never been that active there.
 
I own a webmaster forum one day i joined made a intro topic with my forum in my Admin zone sig then they banned me that is low i wont be going back there FP is better to advertise at<br /><br />-- 26 May 2011, 18:30 --<br /><br />lol my new admin forum with 500 posts just got banned

I could care less about whether I was banned there or not. I don't own a Webmaster forum, but really, if they're going to be that strict about who can advertise there, then I'm off..

I am not too happy with that place. They ban you if you a are a competitor site. Im much better off with FP.
I hate it for that reason too. Also if your new members always pick arguments with anything you say...
 
Well taz isn't what it used to be back in the days and i think they are just trying to contain all their current members within their forum and trying to stop any traffic from leaking out into similar sites, yeah they are doing it in a way that people find unreasonable but i don't understand why people are seeing this thread and deliberately going to taz and trying it for themselves.

Im never going to go to that forum again, i have tried to contact them regarding the ban but they just blatantly ignore me so that's fine with me it's just one less member to post on their forums.

That's interesting...maybe I have had that happen before, but I can't remember...

I don't remember what year I joined TAZ, but I'm pretty sure I don't remember their infancy days, though.
 
The owner of TAZ has some kind of issue. Maybe they want to be the biggest forum out there but they are failing like crazy so that's why they are treating everyone like this.

My anyways, I have my forum in the signature over @ TAZ and they haven't banned me yet BUT they did delete some of my useful posts for novreasob and without a warning.
 
I don't think they will ban you for your site, bart. They only seem to ban people for owning a promotion/webmaster forum of any kind.

You run the same genera of forum I do, Bart, so your chances of being banned is very slim. They only seem to ban people who own an actual Webmaster/Forum Promotion type community, not forums like yours or mine who have forum discussions in them but aren't a flat-out promotion forum.
