Bash.org – How they get their own way.
Comments (0) Lately, there has been a little overheat at Wikipedia after the owner of Bash.org, Blaxthos, who nominated an article related to quote databases. “List of quote databases”.
Looking over the articles’ nomination and looking into some past events and history about Bash.org on Wikipedia (and outside Wikipedia) brings some conclusions as to whether or not they do it on purpose. Obviously, there is proof that they did nominate that article in bad faith. Anyway. the reason as to why Blaxthos is trying to get “rid” of all the articles relating to a quote database can be found on articles such as this, this and this (which are basically history articles). as pointed out by Tothwolf at Wikipedia
…and for those interested in exactly why User:Blaxthos has been trying to get rid of all the “quote database” articles, including bash.org, see [8] [9] [10] –Tothwolf (talk) 23:58, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
After the article was deleted, and being accused of “bad faith, and canvassing” (these are Wikipedia words, don’t worry). I then received a “Talk” message from Blaxthos:
I have opened this discussion regarding your conduct. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 02:11, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Now, Isn’t that just nice?
Adding it all together
With the history about Bash.org, and how the moderators left the site on a “strike” for new management features, “The owner of the domain said. ’screw you guys, i’m not fixing anything’.” he then obviously fired his moderators, making them go over to qdb.us along with the original founder. Thus also making bash.org unusable (and still unusable) along with a massive quote queue.
Yes, this is believed to be Blaxthos. Where we got the image from; we won’t tell. But all in all he looks like a criminal on smack. Enough of our rantings and back to the point.
A bunch of articles were deleted on Wikipedia (as noted above) relating to QDB’s because this man couldn’t get his own way. He then abused the internet community even more.
