New person....

[RESleight]

Hi...

I'm from Wrong Planet... Anyone else here have a history with that place? Just today, I lost all access to my user account out of nowhere. Without reason, or warning. All I got was some anti spam message with a box to contact whomever is in charge that my network address is blocked at WP. Automated? I don't know for sure... It's not easy to contact anyone there either. (I have tried and maybe someone will respond). Especially once banned for no actual reason. I really feel I have no way or hope of even inquiring why.... None of it makes any sense to me as I treated all members there well and I got along with everyone. I know I did not deserve that.

It really feels terrible because the person I was talking with just this morning and they know who they are will now think I either ghosted them, or they may worry that something happened to me. We never got to exchange alternate contact info..before all of this... This is all beyond my control. It sucks. Plain and simple.

I wanted to share a message to those who will recognize this name and avatar. Please know that I no longer have access to my account, so there should no longer be any activity there.

Also know that I enjoyed talking. And I'm so sorry for this is beyond my control. Know that I would never ignore you. Or anyone for that matter for no reason. Never... I hope that I can be found here. If you do ever find me...message me. We will pick up where we left off.

Sorry for the long introduction. I hope things here at Autism Forums end up better. I'm sure they will.

This is a great place- members are accepting , supportive, helpful, informative and friendly. I've never been involved in Wrong Planet but I think you'll not regret coming here.

Welcome to the forums! I hope you make new friends and enjoy your stay in the process!

There's plenty of people from that place, myself included! I've been here for over 3, 4 months now?

Here's a much MUCH better place, and even has a proper chat room, plus the Moderators and Admins; they're fantastic people all around alongside doing such an enduring thankless job of keeping the peace

Keeping the peace. Yes. Exactly. That's actually the very first thing I immediately picked up on. Done a fine job. It was revealed to me in the form of keeping 'Politics' hidden by default (with the option to enable). Brilliant.

indeed; and all Religious and Political discussion isn't allowed in the Chat room(s) and is to be kept within PMs or their respective forum areas which is a huuge plus

Sorry you had an unfavorable experience there. I can understand what you mean by that. The atmosphere can be challenging, depending. I don't personally hold any resentment towards anyone from there. Just very confused as to why the instant spam-ban. Without any warning. There are legitimate people who utilize VPNs too. (if that's even the case).. Who knows what or who caused it. I just know that I never went out of my way over there to make people's lives more difficult than they already are. I know very well how difficult life is. I understand pain. All too well. Like I said..I got along well with people there. The ban makes no sense.

Oh yeah, I was on WP for a while after I was diagnosed . . . a very brief while. They ate me alive. There are several members here that came over from WP. Some liked it, but some had some very bad experiences. If you browse around you'll find some threads about WP. In the mean time:

It does seem that way.

I was there once. It was awful . The format hurt my head and nothing made sense.

Welcome to the Forums!
I've never been at WP, only this one.
Diagnosed 3 yrs. ago, when I found this forum I didn't look elsewhere.
There have been quite a few join here from WP and their experiences there didn't seem favorable.
Hope you enjoy being here. I find it is a very supportive group and the mods are exceptional.

Welcome !
You can be both on WP and here I dont see the problem, you have no obligation it's all up to you!

Never been on WP because actually I couldnt even acces this site for a reason I couldnt realy unterstand why.

Hi @RESleight
Welcome to the forum. I was involved in online autism web activity 20 years ago and it was full of unpleasantness so I backed off. I spent quite some time looking at all the groups and forums I could find this time around, before deciding on this one as the friendliest, best moderated and most supportive one I'd seen. I hope you'll enjoy your time here and that your message gets to the person you lost contact with.

Hi, I came from WP. There site seemed to crash a lot. You could type long posts and they seemed to vanish. I’ve found this one and haven’t really gone back.

Welcome.

Welcome.

I know what you mean by that. I would always make sure to have a backup in a text document to copy/paste in the event that exact issue occurred. It was always frustrating to have typed a few paragraphs, only to have it pull a vanishing act upon posting.

Yes. I know..just that I got so used to the background colors of WP and also the layout of the site. That I was like...yeah I will just keep posting here..sort of thing...

That's another thing.. WP does not at all seem stable and appears to have security problems. They really should take a serious look at that and address it accordingly.
