I was kind of excited about new users joining the wiki because maybe it would mean that this place that I've dedicated a lot of time to would keep going. With some new users on chat the wiki already started to feel a bit more like it did when I first joined. I was frustrated when I saw you heavily advertising legomessage.boards.net. It appeared to me that you were trying to direct new users to that site instead of this one because you didn't want your LMB reputation tarnished by your wiki reputation. We were trying to figure out what to do about the LMB's closure as a community, and while anyone has the right to create a website (I know you didn't create it but you know what I mean), it felt like you kind of went behind our backs by doing this without really consulting the rest of the community. Again, you have every right to, but to me it seemed like you were redirecting new users partly to shield them from your reputation here.

I do feel like it's somewhat ironic that you're advertising legomessage.boards.net as a safer alternative to this wiki when you are banned from chat here. I think it's even a bit misleading to not acknowledge that. And as Obi said, I wouldn't trust someone to be an admin on that site if I didn't trust them to be admin here.

In regards to the "alt right" joke, that was really supposed to just be a joke. It was perhaps uncalled for and I apologize if I offended you. Apology accepted.

To make it glaringly obvious, I did not make legomessage.boards.net. I don't intend for legomessage.boards.net to be a safer alternative to LMBW -- ideally, I would love for users to be on both concurrently just like they would on the real MBs. Nonetheless, I was directly approached by two users regarding moderation on legomessage.boards.net, because they felt that the forum would be unsafe if it was not manually moderated by a real human being. To alleviate those concerns from the get-go, when I speak of legomessage.boards.net, I make it clear that we are human-moderated and intent to uphold the same standards as the original MBs.

Like I said above, I hope users traverse both the forum and the wiki equally. I don't care to hide my reputation on the wiki from those who join the boards and they're free to look at my ban history at any time: it's public. That said, I don't feel at if it is my duty to inform users that I have been banned here in the past and currently serve a ban, and I do not intend to let my opinions of users or incidents on the wiki affect how I deal with these users on the forum, or otherwise affect my capabilities as an admin.

As you viewed it otherwise, I do apologize for appearing to do that.
