It's my understanding that some members currently posting with Topix, have signed up for accounts here at the Unknown Zone. To each one of you let me extend a heartfelt welcome to this place.
I'm sure you will find it a pleasant change to the environment you've been subjected to within recent weeks, and I hope you find this forum as comfortable a place as I have.
For starters, check out the various areas in the forum. Note that some of them are moderated, and others are designated "unmoderated". That doesn't necessarily mean that no one from the administration isn't watching though. But it does mean that it is an area where heated discussions are not only allowed, but expected for the most part. You can pretty much speak your mind, within reason, and say things the way you need to say them. And if you need to cuss like a sailor then you can have at it in the unmoderated area. (Of course the legal aspects apply as outline in the TOS, so be sure to read them. The Cliff notes version is no libel, slander, etc.) This thread is placed in the unmoderated area.
The areas not designated as unmoderated are areas where we are expected to "be nice" and use milder language, and keep things clean.
There is a members area as well, and in that area are "rooms" that are the areas of members who have requested them. In those areas you'll find things that interest the various members, and some of those members have some pretty wild perspectives. (This writer included). I have an area of my own there, as do some others you may recognize. Any one of you can also get an area of your own just by requesting it from the administration. You can find that process here: http://theunknownzone.dailynuisanceproductions.com/index.php?topic=10968.0 (http://theunknownzone.dailynuisanceproductions.com/index.php?topic=10968.0)
And please be sure to read through the topics in the Welcome to the Zone area: http://theunknownzone.dailynuisanceproductions.com/index.php?board=20.0 (http://theunknownzone.dailynuisanceproductions.com/index.php?board=20.0)
Members are free to post where ever they want to.
And I have found the admins and moderators here to be responsive, and while they do their best to remain hands off, they aren't afraid to step in when it becomes necessary. About the most common thing I've seen in the last couple of years has been the moving of a topic from the moderated area to the unmoderated area.
No advertisements and the owners take privacy very seriously; so you won't see people like Kooks in here, and no outsiders either. If someone is posting here then you can rest assured they are a member of this forum and have met the very same requirements that you have.
Sundog, I know you are here already so let me be among the first to welcome you to the Unknown Zone.
Each of you that have chosen to come here are more than welcome. And I want each of you to know that there are many other members here just as excited as I am to have you joining us. :smile:
Welcome Sundog and other Topix posters!
Now lets get some interesting subject matter going! :icon_twisted:

Since I'm not close to a computer, I decided to use my phone to register. Small screens make for big errors.
Can you believe I spelled my own username wrong? LOL!
Oh well, the missing "c" is silent anyway.

I hear that. I post here from my phone too sometimes. And the typo's are prolific when I do. Between auto-spell and my bear paws, it's a 50/50 split surrounding which one drive the most of them! :biggrin:

My parents live in one of the few blessed areas remaining without cell phone reception. It makes my visits with them so much more enjoyable. I've even spent vacation time from work at their place, just to ensure that my employer actually respects the fact that I'm on vacation. Hehe...
Morning guys! Well my cell phone is our land-line so it has to be near me but no calls it so that is good thing.

I cut the cord about a decade ago. When I realized I was paying to provide access to telemarketers and window/siding sales reps. . . :wink:
Well, the only reason I have the cell by my bed is in case my brother has to call about my father. My father is 80+ years old and his health is not the greatest so that is the only reason!

Understandable. I do the same but have a restricted list of those who can get through in the middle of the night. That is one thing nice about cell phones. You can program them to screen your calls and prevent non-emergency situations from ruining your sleep time. (Or other time) :icon_twisted:
I guess we all see where crazy ass Kooks is coming up with the socks and gay bashing this morning. Can she be any more stupider? Okay, don't answer that because we all know the answer to that one!!!

Sunday Spazz a thon! :biggrin:
That should be a minute by minute spazz a thon, you could set your clock by the dumbass.
Well, she has to stay home to drink on Sundays. Bars are closed and you cannot buy booze or beer on Sundays where she lives. (The entire state).
I'd say she spends Saturday mornings collecting cans and dumpster diving, Saturday afternoons cashing them in at the recycling center, then Saturday evening purchasing the booze and beer for her Sunday spastic episodes. :icon_twisted:
I thought you could buy drinks there, I did once when I lived in Indiana but that was a long time ago and I believe you are right Palehorse, she is a closet alcoholic and a lesbian!!!

You can get a drink in a restaurant that serves alcohol, with the purchase of a meal, but that is about it. And we all know she couldn't afford that and be able to drink all month long. :yes:
Exactly, I remember drinking an Irish Coffee and Bloody Mary's in Indianapolis, man I could use a Bloody Mary this morning!! Reading Kooks spazzes makes me want a drink terribly or even a screwdriver. I have the vodka but no OJ!!! Lol
Vodka is also good straight up. Or one can mix it with cranberry juice, pineapple juice, or a variety of other mixers. (Not to mention the vodka martini). :shots:
That individual is a waste of carbon and water. It pisses me off that she wastes oxygen each and every day, when there are millions in China suffocating. . . :rant:
Yes, I love pineapple juice and rum!! I like all those mixes that you said.
Yes, she is a waste of human life, I bet her ex could shoot himself for allowing her back in the house-hell, if I was divorced and desperate, I wouldn't ask my ex if I could come back!!! The world would be a better place without her and uglypee-that bitch's picture makes me want to hurl every day!!

Yes indeed. . . They deserve each other, and in the end they will be the reason it is only the two of them and their socks talking to one another. :yes:
I'd rather eat glass than be around either one of them. Their lies, deceitful games, and bullshit are beyond delusional.
Never posted on Topix so don't know any of you from there. Sure sounds like this kooks must be a character to say the least. Hope some of you will help me give PH a hard time occasionally. :biggrin:
Kooks is a real character and about as batshyte crazy as can be. She comes up with the fact all of us are the same person. She made a claim that I lied about the adoption of our children. That is hilarious in itself as my son is from Kiev, Ukraine and our daughter is from Sololá, Guatemala and so I told her to tell me the steps to adopt internationally because it is not as easy as saying a b and c and you get the child. She is about as nutty as can be!
She's a whack-nut! :yes:
I do believe, from what I've read, I'm glad I never ran across this person.
Welcome Lea!
Actually, welcome all of you! This is a Kooks free Zone. :wink:
Okay, who turned the weather back to cold. Dadgone it Locutus, I bet you are going to rub it in on me that it was 70+ there and I am just going to have to come there and get some sun!! It is killing me being pale!!! ;)
Thank God on that Locutus!!! The only thing that would be better is I read tomorrow where some batshyte crazy woman in Anderson, Indiana had done herself in and that catpee joined her!! Hehehehehe/

Nope, she never will stop being ignorant!!! :yes:
I'm going to send this back up to the top just in case any others of those whom I have invited decide to join us.
All are welcome!
Indeed. I hope they come! :yes:
I am glad that the good posters are here because I hate the bull shit drama that Kooks causes. Most of us just want to have some in-depth intellectual conversations and can't with that paranoid, schizophrenic bat shit crazy bitch around! ;D
I think it's kind of neat 'cause we can be at each others throats in one part of the forum, 'cause we have different viewpoints, but have a blast in the other part. Kind of like a dysfunctional but close family you might say.... :yes: :smile:
Yes and for the most part, most of us get along. I mean we sometimes may have a difference in views but we can get along. Batshyte crazy Kooks doesn't want to do that!!!

It's not a hard thing to do. :no: ;D

Welcome to Kevin! ;D
Sup Kevin! 8)
Kooks is notorious for many things, and among them is driving this "frenzy mentality", which is the root cause for the implosion of several forums and web sites that she has been a member of. Oh, sure one can look up the court records for those forums that were closed due to legal issues, but what you won't see within those records is any mention of what drove that particular forum toward the mentality that allowed the legal situation to come to pass in the first place. And that was the "frenzy mentality" that kooks nurtures and drives with her insane postings and conjecture.
Those of you that have had the great misfortune of posting with her are already suffering from it; among its symptoms are the fact that you cannot derive any level of satisfaction from the activity unless you are tacking someone's hide to the proverbial wall via prose. The environment you have been subjected to while posting with kooks, is to blame for this.
Her antics force individuals to revert to name-calling and use of profanity; out of nothing more than the sheer frustration her drunken ramblings and outrageous allegations drive. And if you go through it long enough, you will begin to see the patterns.
At first it is just a couple of screen names she perceives as being weak, and prime targets for her evil agenda. Typically she will ride these individuals like a rented mule, causing discourse amongst the membership and forcing an increasing number to choose sides. Inevitably some will choose her view, as the lever she uses initially are inflammatory topics that by their very nature, are divisive amongst the general population. (This way she is all but assured to obtain some level of support for her view(s).
Then she will create multiple ID's with which to move the discourse along, even going to the level of posting against herself just to keep the arguments going and the discourse growing.
Eventually, most people begin to notice her lies and some begin calling her out on them. She takes full advantage of this by twisting and turning viewpoints and statements, including semantics, just to keep as many people agitated as she can and to extend the length and voracity of the situation.
By the time the majority begin to realize she is doing all of this on purpose, most of the members have been posting from an offensive position for so long, they no longer can take much pleasure from posting in a normal manner. She has conditioned you via endless repetition to post from an inflammatory view; and usually it has been for so long that a lot of people forget how to have a normal dialog about life and its own challenges.
It is at this exact point wherein the legal issues have reared their heads within a few forums in the past. Some of those very forums were great places to find out information, or learn about something you are curious about, or to just pass the time engaging in benign gossip about famous people or the like. But then kooks showed up and ran her game on the place and its membership, and made the job of administering the place 100 times more difficult than the owner(s) were prepared to deal with.
In some cases, the forum was allowed to maintain operating at staffing levels that made it all but impossible for the moderator(s) to deal with. Combine that with operating system limitations and eventually someone posted something that was legally actionable, and the unwitting owner(s) were caught in the middle of things. Those owners chose to close down rather than continue to deal with such shenanigans and liabilities.
Many more chose to take a proactive approach and learn from the mistakes of those defunct entities that were victimized by her evil agenda. That is when the banning began for kooks; and she went thermonuclear over it.
My former forum was one of those taking the proactive approach, and I can tell you from personal and first hand experience, that the blitzkrieg of e-mails and messages that come from her when she gets her grandma panties in a twist would make the propagandists of Adolph Hitler proud. And she will e-mail everybody in the administration; relentlessly. And heaven forbid she be given someone's telephone number.
I was one of the lucky ones in that I counted among my friends at the time a handful of individuals with a much higher understanding of how to deal with such situations and individuals. I got help when it was needed most, thanks to them. And eventually, after careful consideration surrounding the time it was taking from my real life, to deal with a forum that started as a hobby and a way to exchange ideas and ideals with others across the country, I decided to hand the operation of that forum over to those who were better prepared to provide it the commitment it required. And I remained a member until it was shuttered for awhile.
I post all of this because I was once victimized by kooks evil agenda. I was addicted to the "frenzy mentality" and it was handing some measure of control of MY life over to kooks. I never realized it until I became a member here and at first did not get the same level of satisfaction I thought I was getting at the other places. The places where I had to do battle with kooks every day.
After a period of downtime, away from all forums, and a long period of self-reflection, I discovered the addiction that she had imposed upon me. And it was at that point I made the decision to call her out on her evil agenda wherever I encountered her.
Mind you, it took me awhile to move beyond it, but thankfully I found the good folks in this place engaging, challenging, and more than up to the task of helping me back to a state of reality. And along the way I made some damn fine friends too. Mind you, not all of them are individuals that I have met in real life either; at least two of them I have never laid eyes upon. But they are individuals I have come to trust and am proud to count among my friends.
If kooks is allowed to remain active within that other place, then the clock is ticking on its eventual implosion. You can take that to the bank. It may be next week, next month, or the next decade, but the unhealthy environment she is being allowed to nurture over there will be its end.
So if you are finding this forum somehow unfulfilling, I can understand where you are at. It is normal. But I encourage you to stay the course and give it some time. "Frenzy mentality" is addictive as heroin, and just as destructive.
In this place you can and will find your way back to normalcy, but like anything worth having it will take some measure of work on your part. Post topics about things you enjoy, or vacations you've taken, or want to take. Start a word story, or other game. Browse around and find something you have an opinion on and then post it. Odds are you will find others here that agree with your perspectives, as well as those that hold opposing views. If you come with an expectation of learning something, each and every time you come here, you will find that within a short period of time you will be learning something every day. It may not always be something you agree with, but some of the best arguments are built by first understanding the opposing view as much as you can.
Just give yourself some time to acclimate and get rid of the addiction kooks has forced upon you!
BOOM! there you have it! Folks, this guy usually nails it, spot on. Though I don't always agree with him politically, he usually has wise answers...and right here, he is offering great advice. ;)
I want to thank everyone for being so nice on here. Sure, I probably will piss some of you off from time to time but it is nice to have conversations where we may not agree on everything but still can get along!!!! It is hard to be that with Kooks being the ignoramus that she is!!! Lol!!!
