So what do you think about this, faithful readers? Why would a host know about these things? Is she a part of the Hoff board? If not, who "tipped" her? Perhaps the Hoff's "troll" that they're trying to sniff out and oust?
And what did the host do about it? What did BBC do about it? Is she even referring to the "ambush" I think she is?
And does anyone else see this post as totally inflammatory and inappropriate?

Ladies -
While I do understand and sympathize with the points made, I think we can all agree that the rules are here for a reason. I - for one - do not get enjoyment out of staying up late to babysit people on an internet BB who should know better. (Meaning the planned ambush and yes, I knew about it in advance.) I truly enjoy being here - in general - and volunteered myself (to attempt) to be an ambassador of goodwill here. Most days I wouldn't change anything here but when it comes to the point where several groups plan to ambush each other on the board, it's gone too far.
That being said... the mods had a LOT of info in order to make their decisions. While I'd love to see it 100% definitive in who gets banned, who doesn't - it'll never happen. They are human and have to make judgement calls.
Honestly - I don't blame them for banning first and asking questions later. There was a lot of crap that went down here and way more people were involved than were banned. The mods did not consider any plotting, etc. that happened off the boards - only what happened here and that was an ugly mess.
I don't believe there are favorites. Either you've been a PITA to the mods or not. Let's face it. There were HUNDREDS of posts to wade through on the latest fiasco and if I were them I would have been tempted to just ban everyone instead of wade through it all. It was a complete mess. Trying to figure out who's on who's side and who is part of the plan was a nightmare for me and I'm used to posting here. Can you imagine the cluster the mods had to try to figure out?
I miss a lot of the posters who I assume have been temporarily banned. Maybe some may never return but I think we can all agree that something had to be done. I'm sorry to see that some innocent people were caught it the crossfire. That is exactly what we hope to avoid. I guess one or both groups were successful in their attempts to get others banned from the boards....maybe it wasn't the right people, but I guess you can see that when something like this happens, the end result isn't always shiny and bright.
I hate seeing the ugliness that comes out on this board. The other boards apparently breed hatred for certain members and it creeps into the posts here. It's a shame that the same ugliness so many don't want to teach their kids comes here to rear it's ugly head. We all have a dark side. I just don't want to meet all of them (the dark sides)!
I hope we can all move on now.

that is so sad that she knew about it. I hope they take away her host title over this. Disgusting.
so, wait. someone emails her a heads up, she notifies community mods so that they'll be watching and she should lose her host title? yeah, that makes sense.
I can't tell if she notified community or not from her post. Hope she did.
Still think her post is generally inappropriate.
I thought it completely inappropriate when I read it, but I gotta ask - what ambush? Help me out here.
If she notified them, why did the thread stay up for over 12 hrs? I'm sure she just sat on the info.
If the mods were notified as implied by the 2nd anon post, then why wasn't the thread deleted UNTIL the next day?
Maybe it's because the mods weren't really notified? That makes more sense to me.
In all seriousness why do you still care about this. I don't think she knew about it she was told about it later. She was filled in on all of the details.
She along with Rebecca know who the Ranters are with their screen names and real names along with their photos.
But seriously Ranters this was a month ago time for some new material. Go stalk someone else like greenbeansgo or some other attention whore. Surely you can have fun with that.
Toodles.
but I gotta ask - what ambush? Help me out here.
for crying out loud. if you don't know what ambush we're talking about, why are you here???
devil's advocate here:
What if some one (Zen or otherwise) who was a member of both boards took it upon themselves to e-mail bcHostKim before the shit went down?
for crying out loud. if you don't know what ambush we're talking about, why are you here???
Lol! Ok, I'm slow. I figured something else happened since. I must be really naive - I can't believe she knew and admitted it.
"In all seriousness why do you still care about this. I don't think she knew about it she was told about it later. She was filled in on all of the details.

LOL! It was a month ago and yet until today, had been brought up on the bargain board EVERY DAY since by one of you. Take your own fucking advice.
OOOOHHH, Rebecca and Kim know our names. Big fucking deal. I'm shaking in my ranter boots. You keep threatening us with our photos, but yet we're called the crazy ones. BTW, we know who you are too, but really we don't give a shit. I think it's great that sooo many people now are aware of the truth. It's more than great. It's hilarious. You bitches are getting called out on your own hypocritical actions. Fanfuckingtastic. Oh, and the attention whores are banned. No fun now. Bwahahaha..
Toodles fucktards!
Hey BCHostKim, was Hope able to get in touch with you? I know she was desperately trying to contact you. Must have been important;)
I have zero respect for any of our hosts or Mods on the Bargain Board. They let threads completely BASHING someone go for OVER A DAY despite MANY reports of personal attacks. There is definite favoritism - the Hofftards get away with any shit they want and others too.
It wouldn't surprise me if Kim knew in advance and let it happen. It also doesn't surprise me that there are people who didn't get banned and should of are still posting. I lurk for deals but honestly, the board and many posters make me sick. It's going to get much worse when the idiots come back.
Thanks for keeping it off the bargain board. I wish everyone would keep the drama among their own little group.
"I don't think she knew about it she was told about it later. She was filled in on all of the details."
Well, I tried to make it easy for you by bolding the sentence where she says she knew it in advance AND putting it in red. But I guess even that wasn't enough.
"In all seriousness why do you still care about this. I don't think she knew about it she was told about it later. She was filled in on all of the details.

If you SOOOOO don't care about it & want to move on, why are you still coming to this blog & reading it?
if this is so "yesterday" why doesn't EVERYONE drop it? Sure you'll see the Elvis & the Hoff siggies...but who cares anymore?
Stop blogging this stuff & it will drop. You're bringing this up on a weekly basis w/ your blog.
This blog seems hate everything & anything anyone remotely associated with the Hoff group. How about using your powers for good & not for evil?
"but who cares anymore?"
well, obviously you do.
Kim had a tip that something was going to happen, but she didn't know what! What was she supposed to do?? Then she went to sleep before any of it started.
People need to learn that HOSTS like Kim can't really do anything. They aren't paid, and have no thread locking or deleting powers.
MODS are the ones who decide those things and have the power.
*toodles* back at ya Charlie.
Summary for ya:
Charlie (PBS) pulled some lame shit and posted a bunch or paRanter private info on the bargain board. Then tried to act all innocent. Most of the Hoffies missed that thread and are all, "save our dear Charlie" without knowing she is guilty as hell and not someone I'd trust with personal info!
Plus she was doing most of the stalking of Steff. It is beyond me why anyone would read this and trust her. Not surprised she got the boot from the Hoff board. Funny as hell though!
Tha paRanters also posted personal info, you dont see them whining about being banned, do ya?
Why won't we let it go?? Cause its funny shit to see the truth come out about Charlie. Who, by the way, has been back on the bargain board under a new name or two.
Charlie - in all serious, take your meds.
oh, yeah, in case you are wondering....the banned ranters are still alive and well on BBC. Thank you for your concern. Have a nice day. :)

Hi, Charlie!! ~waves~
Um, I'm sorry but I have never stalked Steff. I didn't give two shits about Steff and didn't get involved in any of her crap. Please pull all threads to see for yourself.
You people amaze me. I'm not posting on the boards, please tell me who I am.
Grow up. Seriously, grow up.
Ah, it's funny to see the Hoffs come here to duke it out amongst themselves.
Dr._BBC!
Hopefully you'll read this. Do you know how to email us?
:)
nice try fug...
Charlie,
You're a bitch who seriously needs some mental help. And I mean that in all seriousness. You clearly have some problems. To actually wish terrible things to happen to someone you don't even know is truly psychotic. Yes bbc'ers, you heard that right. Your precious Charlie isn't quite as nice as you seem to think.
Love, Debra
p.s. I don't have step parents, never been beaten or locked in a closet, my kids are not overweight nor do they chow down on Cheetos and soda. Unlike your children who are probably stuck sitting in front of a tv all day while you sit your ass on the computer all day and night, my kids are great, but thanks for thinking of them:)
To avoid confusion and by request, below is the post that Deb (and it's Deb, not Debra, at least get the name right) was responding to. (We shared it with her on ranting.)
I haven't been approving the really lame, malicious comments, but this will give you an idea of the fucktards we're dealing with here:
The ranters are a bunch of pathetic losers who are mad at the world because they are so fug. What a bunch of spineless bitches. I can totally see one of them pulling a stunt like that evil woman did to that poor girl on myspace who killed herself.
Most people are smart enough to realize that the ranters are just angry that they were exposed. HA HA Fucking HA. And the so called attention whores have not been banned.
You are just jealous wenches and feel the need to attack people who are well like decent human beings.
Karma will come back to bite you nasty women in the ass....one by one terrible things will happen to you and I'm sure Debra already feels that. Try being nice to people for a change and maybe things will look up for you.
And this blog is far from "edge of your seat" reading, I just had a link from the last story and clicked on it. You are able to spew your venom on here in a one sided mannner.
You are pathetic excuses of human beings. I'm convinced you were beaten by your step fathers, locked in closets, and fat and ugly which caused your step parents to hate you even more. You think you can blog which is a fucking joke.
You are ruining your children who are probably overweight from your neglect. You throw them a soda and some cheetos so you can contine to rant away in la la land.
Karma baby....Karma.
You make yourself look really good, psycho...And we're supposedly the "bad guys!"
Deb, mykidsmom...whatever, you ladies are just mean and nasty. You pride yourselves on hurting others. Sure I am mad, I think it's sad that grown women think it's funny to harm others.
And yes, I think what goes around comes around. Here you try to paint yourselves out to be these wonderful and decent human beings when we all know differently.
You can call me psycho or whatever you feel like, I can go to bed at night knowing I'm a decent human being and I do good unto others.
I'm glad you published my comments, you'd be amazed at how many others apparently agree.
I never wished harm upon you, I just said you get what you deserve. When you are mean and nasty you exude no kindness to others you deserve what is coming to you. Negative people experience negative things.
Karma is a positive thing, dickwad. There is no such thing as bad karma coming back and biting you in the ass. You either get good karma, or you get none at all. Do some research before you start spouting shit. Dumbass.
It scares me that you are a mom, Charlie. Wonder why you don't have any friends IRL?? Sad, sad, sad.
And your actions have shown you to be a real angel. Take a look in the mirror, honey, and listen to yourself. We know, despite your lying protests, that you and your cronies stalked Steff and that familyfourpluskitty chick (or whatever her name is). Plus you like to brag how you have all our names and pictures. STALKER! You do what you want with those. It will just show everyone who YOU really are.
Go ahead and play the martyr Charlie. You really aren't as nice as you seem to think you are either. Where exactly were you harmed? The whole pb acct name was simply a joke. No harm was done and no drama was caused except by you. But apparantly its freaking hilarious to post personal information and pictures only if it's done by you or one of your buddies. Did I get that right? The only time it is appropiate and funny and NOT mean spirited in any way is when YOU do it. Only YOU are allowed to make fun of people and post snarky remarks. Am I right?
Believe it or not, we have a great bunch of ladies on our board. We have other interests besides babycenter and you. We talk about our kids, families, the holidays coming up, etc. A lot of people have a misconception about our board. We don't pussyfoot our words, but that's not always a bad thing. You don't like it? Just go away then. Truth is, no, you're not our favorite poster. You were annoying and always seeking attention to yourself on bbc. You brought most of this on yourself.
Wish all the bad karma on me that you want. I don't care. It doesn't bother me. It just makes you look pathetic.
seems like someone struck a nerve.
i'm not psycho, i'm just pissed that grown women such as yourself take pride in hurting others.
you continue to prove this over and over and over.
i know that i'm a good hearted person and i would never want to bully someone on the net. it's just sad. i'm sure you'll twist it all around and say what i said on here is heartless, but what's good for the goose..
i'm done with this. it's sick and it's twisted and i got way too wrapped up in it. dh is home with the boys and i'm going to enjoy my family.
i hope you are able to find happiness in your lives.
it's charlie is AN ignorant cunt, you ignorant cunt
Dr_BBC!
Hopefully you'll read this. Do you know how to email us?
I emailed the gmail account w/ my yahoo account.
Dr. BBC--we got it and you have mail!
Oh please, Charlie, you've been one of the biggest bullies out there. Quit playing the innocent card, cuz you're not fooling anyone.
Would you all just shut the fuck up already? I know Charlie and she is a wonderful person. You freaks on the other hand....
Oh and stupid troll, did you really think putting my name on here was going to scare me or piss me off? Nice try coward!
Ranters are not near as bad as the hoffs, and this is coming from a neutral third party. They never took it very far until just recently and honestly I do not blame them one bit. They were baited! PBS is seriously one fry short of a happy meal. She needs to get some help. Prescription meds at the VERY least. If she is on those, then she needs to look at more serious intervention.
Can't we all just turn our attentions to the crazy bitch pastachic? Did you know her baby wasn't planned and her hubby is a cancer survivor? :)
The only nerve you struck with me is bringing the kids into this, so don't flatter yourself. My kids are pretty darn awesome if I must say so myself, but you probably already know that since your hoarding my sons picture. Are you going to post his pic on bbc, too?
did you really think putting my name on here was going to scare me or piss me off?
And you are?
I think everybody should sit around a hookah for a few hours. There'd be hugs and forgiveness all around. And someone would get the urge to bake some brownies.
I love everyone . . . and tater tots.
wait! her husband has cancer and the baby wasnt planned? stop the fucking presses!
And don't forget, she likes her dog more than her baby.
wait! her husband has cancer and the baby wasnt planned? stop the fucking presses!
I have never laughed so hard! totally off topic, yet so funny!
I hate the hoffs, can I join the paranters?
hookah sounds fantastic right about now but wine will have to do.
so i'm one fry short of a happy meal, on the wrong meds.
honestly, i have no idea how i got knee deep into this mess. i've only been on bc for a little over 2 years. it started off nice and then i found the bargain board. i had no idea there were people on the sidelines making fun of me. so when i found out i got pissed.
i say i have your photos because they are in a pb account somewhere. i just have them incase i am murdered because i have heard that the ranters are ruthless. i don't have your children's photos. why would i want them? i've got my own two kids.
i regret getting into all of this. it's just a bunch of shit slinging that is never going to stop. i never stalked anyone. i didn't get involved in the steff and kitty drama.
i just post on subjects that interest me. i post as me, i don't hide behind different names. i'm not on the bb right now and i'm not sure if i am going to go back.
so call me a psycho, the c word, horrible, evil and what not but i am pretty sure you know that is not true. i might annoy the shit out of you but i'm not a bully.
my fear is if i keep up at this pace that i will end up like you. it's refreshing to hear that you actually care about your kids and have a heart because from what you do on the board it's frightening.
let's just call a "time out" and enjoy our families tomorrow.
gobble gobble ladies. i'm not doing the turkey trot becuase it's going to be below freezing. i've opted to stay at home and take my meds :) along with a mimosa or 4.
Why the crap is Sam back? Was her banning on temporary? CRAP
Happy Thanksgiving.
yeah, I think everyone got a temporary suspension for a month, except for B*B. Sucks for her. All the bans should be coming up for release soon.
can someone explain to me how this became Charlie's fight? I asked this on Rebecca's blog too, but I guess she only post comments if you are a Hoff. Anyways, I thought that the poster that got burned by the ranters was Gretchen. Is Charlie and Gretchen the same person? Why is Charlie fighting with the ranters then? Can anyone answer that?
Charlie and Gretchen are most certainly NOT the same person. Gretchen started the Hoffs, but that is where her involvement ENDS. The weekend the blow up happened she was out of town at a funeral! In fact I've gleened from a good source, Gretchen banned Charlie from the Hoffs now.
Nope, not Charlie.
yeah, Gretchen is mildly annoying. Charlie is an annoying attention whore.
Is this it? I was expecting some earth shaking, BBC smacking info but so far this is neither.
Where is the real dirt?
Oh, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie... Your martyr card will not work.
I remember your comment to the OP of the "what do you think of Planegirl" thread- something along the lines of them being pathetic and to grow up.
You've been playing innocent for too long. Maybe you did get sucked in, but it's your choice to stay a part of the nastiness.
Take your own advice and grow up.
Kumbayah, my lord, kumbayah.
I swear to God, if I ever met the Hoffies (some in particular) in real life, I would punch them in their fucking faces. I am so sick of people being continuous subtle assholes (just enough) not to get banned. I want to puke reading their posts on the bargain board.
WOW! This is great.
I was on the rant board for a while and honestly they are not evil. I just couldn't keep up. lol. VERY quick with a comeback and the wit is fabulous....if you can remember that it's the FUCKING INTERNET!
As for the favoritism by BC toward certain posters. Yes, it's very true and I've been through it all myself with a certain other group. They said awful things but when BCRowena is your buddy it just doesn't matter.
Anyway, keep it coming.
WOW! This is great.

Awww, thanks! Glad you have no hard feelings. We got a little paranoid awhile back and deactivated people that weren't posting. Glad you don't have hard feelings. Someday when you have more time to participate and if you have the inclination, come on back.

Wow! Personally, I just find them annoying, kind of like a fruit fly infestation. Thanks for sharing.
"Wow! Personally, I just find them annoying, kind of like a fruit fly infestation. Thanks for sharing."
Let's just hope they don't spontaneously regenerate.
"Let's just hope they don't spontaneously regenerate."
They would have to, since no one really wants to fuck them.
Did you get a little paranoid RECENTLY and decide to get rid of people? Dr_BBC had a very short lived life on the ranter site. I couldn't log out because of a "server error." Is that why I got the boot already? If there's more to it, feel free to email me. :/
Dr. BBC: will email you.
It's pretty obvious that hostKim is a Hoff. Of course she'll never confirm it because she knows she could lose her hosting priviledges over it. God forbid that would happen, who would stroke her ego then?
I heard that the hoffs were coming to a demise. Suspicion and sub boards are slowly eating away at the happy hofftards.
I miss Steff. At least she spoke her mind. And had an original thought and opinion. More than can be said of the Hofftards and their endless, mindless banter and constant attacking of people simply to amuse themselves. Fucking morons.
I miss Steff.
Oh, Steff is definitely still around. But I imagine you know already that.
Ranting - Actually I know for a fact that the poster people keep accusing of being Steff is NOT her. I also do know that Steff is around but isn't posting. I have emailed her offboard and she says she reads, but hasn't posted since the attacks and outing of her photobucket and My Space accounts. How anyone can defend ANY of the people who participated in what happened to her is crazy to me. Sure, hate a posters thoughts, whatever, but no one deserves to be violated and have their home called or spouse brought into it. I can't believe these people are adults with children. Nice role models.

We've got her IP, so she's around. While she's annoying and pompous, we could really care less about her. We agree that Zen and the hoffs went WAY too far with their stalking/pursuing of Steff. And agree with you: "nice" role models. Losers.
"i She along with Rebecca know who the Ranters are with their screen names and real names along with their photos."
Just saw this comment. So does this mean that Kim also has ranter members photos?
