When I went to join #planetunreal on gameslink today (having never joined the channel EVER before) to spam Stallion into coming into #infiltration so that I could verbally abuse him (theoretically - but you get the idea) for changing the topic in my #badmojo channel (the topic merely stated "No rules, no ops, no point") I discovered this message:

[N] Cannot join channel #PlanetUnreal (Banned)

Yes, I had been banned before actually doing anything in the channel itself. Pretty cool. Not only that, but Stallion (ab)used his power to change completely non-offensive topics in #infiltration and #badmojo so that they would no relate in any way to me. How do I know he did this and not some other op? Neither channel had any topics set when I joined them. And I am the only person who can change the topic in my channel, because i am the only op, being the person that registered the channel.

Pretty fucking cool. It made my day.

Mojo, my man, I think you need to find a different IRC server, not linked to PU, because whether there was any reason for clearing your channel or not, there are obviously some 'bad vibes' between you and PU.

You've had problems with PU before, haven't you?

If they had a good reason (in their opinion) for banning you, or clearing your channel, it would have been that they don't like your language, or that you had posted some objectionable content.

If not, then how could you trust them at all?

I think you need to find an impartial site for your stuff, i.e. a site that won't object to the way you express yourself, or the contents. I realize this may be difficult.

I've read some of your earlier rants, and although I may not always agree with you on details, I've already seen that it will probably turn out that you were right about your main point all along.
I may not always like your use of language, but you seem honest and intelligent, and it's a shame to see you gagged like this.

Yeah, I've got some bad vibes with PU going on. That's why I love to bring the fight right to them. Its utterly hilarious watching them stumble for reasons to shut me up.

As for my channel, no, the topic was nothing offensive. That and I curse and swear all the time. And being my registered channel that I moderate, they have no reason to change the topic, even if it is cursing. They can only really change it if it was like "Shocking real rape and snuff videos at www.whatever.com. You can also find 0-3 day warez there! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!"

But hey, PU's a bunch of nazis. I don't mind, it'll bring about their own downfall. Gamespy Industries is already going to shit as more and more games are integrating server and IRC browsers that are as good as or better than gamespy. Its nice that people really believe that the planet sites are run by a bunch of die-hard gamers, but the fact of the matter is they're just a bunch of corporate boys paid to do their job well. And their job means generating hits, and thus money. That's why they want nothing to do with promising mods, and they only care about the popular ones. I always thought that was fairly obvious. i mean, the mod I'm helping with now, Titanium Wars, got flat out rejected by PU. Only unreality.org and Preacher saw the promise in it, and once TW started generating the hits, PU admins were literally begging us to come to them. I fucking flipped out when the team decided it would be best. thankfully I and Sabre and all the bad press it was generating managed to make them change their minds. I wanted to shoot off a scathingly evil email to them, but jotun advised against it cause he still wanted the press from them. But here it is, in all its glory:

----
I really appreciate the offer to host us, as does the rest of the team, but somehow, having our site hosted in the abandoned halls of Auschwitz, the server powered by the preserved brain of Adolf Hitler, conflicts with all our moral standards.

Lets face it, you guys are dirty corporate fucks. You care about the game about as much as I care about your lives (which is very, very little.)

There's a distinctive irony in the fact that you once refused to host us. Now that we gain popularity you see a chance to take advantage of an emerging genre to generate hits, at the cost of fucking over the true gamers like Preacher and the other fine folks at Unreality.

Here's a novel thought: take your heads out of each other's asses for five seconds. Grab firmly your offer to us between your index finger and your thumb, and insert into aforementioned ass. Because that's where your offer belongs; with the rest of the shit.

We don't want your control, we don't want your censorship, and we don't want your dirty fucking publicity. Ever. A good mod will speak for itself. None of us care if you never, ever post any fucking updates involving us on your site. I don't care if Stallion goes and bitches to Strife to do the same.

We will let it speak for itself you filthy Nazi corporate fucks.

Go to Hell.

Yours sincerely,
Bad.Mojo

Yep. definitely some bad vibes going on. Stallion still happily comes into #infiltration just to pick fights with me. Its great!

Frankly, i just love doing all this anti-PU stuff directly under their noses, and in a way where they can either a) do nothing about it or b) prove me right. I know it causes them all to bust a big, bulgy vein in their forehead.
