What happened to the wargames group on facebook?

[bickford]

It is gone, was there last week but now Poof gone vanished. Was it deleted shutdown?
Did facebook change their bloody layout again? Or maybe my settings were reset somehow?
If the group is still active can someone post a link please?

The "wargames" or the "wargamers" group?  Wargamers is still there for me.  "Wargames" asks if you would like to play a game (professor)....

Brant has it.

You were probably banned mate. That moderator over there got his knickers in a twist when members rightly called bullshit on that "wargamers harassing women" hoax.
Anyone that disagreed with him politically he banned lock stock and barrel. No questions asked, no warnings, no appeal. Not very "progressive" of him, is it.... ^-^

If you, or anyone else, were banned just head over to the new wargamer friendly facebook group setup.
No political correctness bull to wade through, just wargaming, speak your mind and relax.

Well, I weighed in on the issue on my own with my weekly column, but I'm not going to ban anyone for disagreeing with me as long we're just having a discussion.  I'm also not the only admin voice around here, so just annoying me isn't likely to get anyone the boot.  There's a half dozen people that might weigh in before someone gets trap-doored :D

tons of fun right now with some guy trying to argue that the FLGS is a failing business model b/c it's basically the same thing as a video rental store

Brant has the right idea. That old wargamers group on facebook is nothing but a cesspool of Kickstarter ads, game company shills and trolls looking for flames wars.

Everyone just do yourselves a favor skip the drama and join up the new group.

After some research this must be what happened, banned for one tiny attempt at a witty joke in a thread full of garbage.
ABD is correct, the moderator Luke Sineath went on a rampage and banned any conservative comments. FU!
In 2016 we are still banning people?!?

Everyone just do yourselves a favor skip the drama and join up the new group.

Thanks for the link, I'm signed up for new group. It already feels 10x better than the quagmire the old wargamers group has become.

Yeah, that "wargamers harassing women" hoax hit the RPG groups hard to. Anyone posting in any of them not supporting the correct position was bashed and or banned. I think I dumped like 8-10 groups all in the same week. Glad to see the other, new groups so 'accepting of refugees'.  >:D
