absolute clown!! alot of us r members of nuts anyway,this only turns me off it..
I have always believed (and said so) that the world have more than enough place for many greyhound related forums. Unfortunately, Nuts was not created with pure intention, nor is it managed with pure intention. The crowd that started it, from day 1, did so to harn GD. Remember GD is not a forum. It is a database like no other. These guys are jealous and want it closed down, the whole GD, not just the forum.

Surely you just disable his account to stop him posting !?
How do you know its not a member of this site, just doing it to cause friction between here and nuts ?
If I close the account, like we have done previously, then like before, the story will be that I closed an innocent person's account. We know who it is via IP address tracking. For now, I will leave all of this to enable all GD and Nuts members, to finally see what we are forced to deal with on a daily basis.
I don't think you'll get many ppl complaining you closed an "innocent" account Andre. Think you're well within your rights too.
If you know who it is via IP, can you not get the IP address banned from accessing site thru your ISP ?

Rich, you should see some of the stuff from these guys. It will make a sailor blush. Anyway, we can ban the IP, but if it's a DHCP IP we ban people who are not involved in this.
Anyway, I believe it is time that all see what has been going on behind the scenes the last few months.

This was openly published about Greyhound Data on the Greyhound Nuts site. How can any real doggieman who reads it, agree or even stay a member?
Note the reference to the "danger of tractors". Many of you know our stud, Crokers Nikita died after running into a parked tractor.

100 usernames will be used afgainst this site at different times if this IGB bashing is not stopped immediately. For more info go to http://forums.greyhoundnuts.com/index.php?topic=656.msg6919#new
The line has been crossed, do it for your members biased fools that know nothing about the Irish industry. How about a thread detailing what happen with the monies generated through the European stud book, you know something about that. Possibly even a thread about the danger of having tractors aroound greyhounds. Stay out of internal Irish greyhound politics or suffer the consequences. _________________________________________________________________

Jeff, Michael and others. I am not sure how you can help. I don't believe retaliation is the answer as I know there are many members on Nuts who are true doggiemen and not part of this nonsense. I also know there are some who has been misled by lies, deceit and rumour mongering.
I am hoping those members will call this group of miscreants to order. There is no reason why GD Forum and Nuts can not both exist. There is place for both forums and more in the world.

Yep. A few were banned for GOOD reason. Very good reason, in fact. If a man is capable of hacking into a site and stealing a peron's login details, please imagine what he is capable off with full editing rights to the site.
The real question is, did they create a forum that could ad to the greyhound world or did they create it with the express purpose of harming GD and the Von Boehn family? Are they abusing their members to harm GD or do they have members to positively influence the greyhound world?

The reference to Greyhounds and Tractors is 1 f-cking sick joke and I'm absolutely appalled that anyone can bring that to the table.
I NEVER frequent their site as I know it was set up to wind people up on here, they then went to G/Scene and done the same there, well anyone with 1/2 a greyhound brain would stay clear of sites like that, jeeze they are as bad as Anti group sites.
Dave, dont you go putting me in the same league as Antis, i am a member of Nuts just as i am a member of most greyhound related sites and i can tell you mate there are just as many trouble causing idiots on here. The difference is they worm around stabbing people in the back and these idiots are as high up as you can get, so my advice to you is wake up and smell the roses. I do not agree with people bombarding sites with crap , god i get enough of that via my e-mail, so do not be childish and paint us all with the same brush. Anoter thing, how do all you people know this bloke is from Nuts, he could just as easily be Andre, he was banned from Nuts for causing trouble, he could just be wanting to get some pay back , lets be honest there is no love what so ever between the nuts forum and Andre.

Duncan - many of us on here would like to ignore nuts but they won't let us. Statements like you made in the above post directed at sowing doubt only further the agenda of the anti GD elements.
You can say - how do I know it's not true - because it doesn't make any sense. We can all go to nuts if we wanted to - all this engagement with nuts only damages GD which is clearly the agenda of some people on nuts. Nuts as a forum can't compete with GD which is so much more. If nuts wants to compete the only way it can do it is by trying to drag GD down. Cheers, Tom

The thing is Duncan,the 'trouble' is not just with Andre or the 'fella' above,there's been numerous goings on with different 'names' recently 'David G Smith' for one. And i don't think Dave Wood WOULD tar everyone with the same brush, i'm sure he's well aware that there are SOME half decent people that are members of that forum.
Tom, there are enough members on here doing a good enough job of dragging GD down without nuts getting involved. To say it doesnt make sense is quite logical, but certain people on here are not logical and actually do have their own little vendettas going on, i am sorry to say. So please wait untill you see eveidence before you jump on their band wagon.

I've seen plenty thanks Duncan - I'm not the type to spend my life wondering.
Thing is Tom , why all of a sudden ar all external links to Nuts allowed, before this you couldnt get to see them, makes you wonder if they are just trying to lead people in one direction.
Do you have questions how to use the Greyhound-Data website?
