    Uhhhh I think Youtube isn't happy about the YT vid embeds, this is what I'm seeing anyway after an endless Captcha that doesn't want to release the vid after multiple attempts, no bueno

    • wtf video is that?sted
    • but dude this should be an embed? maybe its a cross-site issue?sted
    • Any of the threads with YT embeds: making beats, techno etcprophetone
    • somehow fixing this would be aceprophetone
    • there's no cross-site issue because that's what embeds are for... however if YT views a site as malicious it goes DEFCON 1 on the i.p.prophetone
    • This is YT headquarters right now after checking out QBN

    • OK, here's a "solution"... but not really b/c sort of Yosemite-sam's the whole idea of allowing 3rd party embedding to help promote YT on webprophetone

    • Confirmed that if I'm logged into YT in same browser all the embeds appear!... but that's some tomfoolery b/c what is the point of YT embeds now if login req'dprophetone
    • I think this is a problem on your end, not seeing any of this here.garbage
    • Interesting, maybe my local fiber host's network? hmmm never seen this before... it's possible my network as a whole has been temp flagged, hmmm pt 2prophetone
    • Ran cache-cleared Safari/Chrome logged outta everything obviously... and am seeing embeds so maybe it was a network issue, YT needed to re-bless my local i.p. ?prophetone

    Put grafician and everyone engaging with him on a timeout. You are all actively making this place worse.

    • Man enters restaurant, starts yelling and throwing food, so the manager kicks out everyone, that manager is i_monk.canoe
    • Nairn said the same thing, and then grafician started attacking him, which of course changed his behavior. Graf is the problem...canoe
    • not mono, not pali, not redneck, not neverscared, not nairn and the 10 others he's ACTIVELY trolled for the sake of trolling. ffs monk, act like your namecanoe
    • Is this about me posting on the wrong thread again?palimpsest
    • No, it's about how graf says intolerable shit and we're just supposed to ignore him or else we're just as bad.canoe
    • monk - what about him having his own Hate Grafician thread that makes you think he's not the ENTIRE problem?canoe
    • monk - what about him having an average of 15 downvotes on his contributive and trolling posts makes you think everyone should be punished?canoe
    • I bet you're the kind of guy that doesn't want gays in the military because Richard Simmons liked to dance in tight pants.canoe
    • Graf thinks it’s okay to insult anyone for anything, including attacking members children with baseless insults only a low life cunt would utter.monospaced
    • I always suspected him of contacting my job to get me fired years ago, what he didn't know was my boss was also a friendredneck
    • @canoe - If you paid attention to people beyond yourself, you'd realise you're making i_monk's point for him - I've not engaged with grafician in weeks now.Nairn
    • @nairn - just because I bring up accomplishments doesn't mean I'm aloof to other members, I love a lot of people here...canoe
    • I'm not MAKING his point Nairn, I'm disagreeing with his blanketed judgment on me, palim, cont, mono, red, etc, etc, etc.canoe
    • @redneck - can't prove it but he emailed me twice about being "someone I pissed off" and that I'm no good at my job. So yah, I'm with you, he's a creepy fucker.canoe
    • Just log off.Nairn
    • I can confirm that he will stalk you and message you outside of QBN. Weird shit, that could be his attempt at threats or taunting.

    As you see i_monk and Nairn, it's not just me that grafician goes after, it's other users, cities, barrios, countries, music, user's work, the way they look, and so on.

    Credit where it’s due: grafician has posted solid design and industry content. He clearly has the capacity to contribute meaningfully here.

    But lately, that’s been eclipsed by something far more troubling, a growing pattern of obsession, hostility, and psychological unraveling that this community is, frankly, enabling.

    What kicked it off this time? A basic, factual mention of Romanian ghettos. Not an insult, not a smear, just a post. And from there, grafician spun out into a full-blown tantrum that spilled across multiple threads, ranting about U.S. crime, Trump, MAGA, Michigan, speech laws, anything to shift the spotlight away from his bruised pride and onto someone else’s flaws.

    This isn’t debate. It’s emotional displacement in real-time. It’s compulsive and escalating. And as long as we let it slide, under the excuse that he sometimes posts worthwhile things, we are helping him go further off the rails.

    QBN isn’t just a community; it’s also a mirror. And for someone as fragile and reactive as grafician, that mirror is feeding a loop of outrage and instability. He’s not processing ideas here, he’s performing breakdowns.

    If grafician wants to stay, he should be focusing on what he’s capable of: creative work, constructive thought, meaningful discussion. But if he continues using this space to vent his personal insecurities through antagonism and nationalism, then it's not just bad for us, it’s clearly bad for him too.

    This isn’t about silencing someone. It’s about recognizing when someone is using a public platform to deteriorate, and drawing a line for their sake as much as ours.

    • Man handle yourself better and stop with the bickering.

      So it's not okay when I post, but when you do, all goes?

      I am just posting facts.

      Accept, move on
