HOw can Daryl give ownership of something he doesn't own. Or was it a lie when he told the conference official he was not owner?
Good question.
I think it likely the Advent Talk forum was registered in the same way that it was claimed in court,( and recorded in the various PACER documents from the bankruptcy case by both Pickle and Joy) that the save-3abn website of theirs was registered.
In that situation Bob Pickle registered it, but he did so in Gailon Joy's name. So using that technicality they each denied that they really owned it when convienient, and the situation seemed to warrant it while at the same time each fought to retain it as theirs when the situation seemed to warrant it in the court case. All while refusing to answer the straight question of who owned it when asked that on the discussion forums.
It seems likely that Pickle actually registered 'adventtalk' , but he did so in Daryl Fawcett's name rather than his own, thus Daryl could say it wasn't really his, and now say he want's his name off...
It all smacks of playing word games, and being dishonest to me, but then Pickle and co excel at that, imo...
There is an ongoing discussion about this in another thread:
Who owns AdventTalk?

While it may be a good thing that Daryl has removed himself,it is now likely to become more of a free for all than ever.
Agreed, although I believe Daryl's sense of fairness and conscience was affected by the company he kept and their majority vote, he did offer some restraint, now they will have none... and I noticed Snoopy is back as a moderator already.
That had to be frustrating, but I also think Daryl's conference has something to do with this, they aren't too happy with his involvement on that forum and in this mess, and that is only going to be worse I am thinking if Pickle Joy and company are now intent on the various lawsuits and filing of claims, and publicity etc as they are threatening and boasting about.

I wonder if the new owner or the actual owner will step up and be known.
Going by their past behavior it seems unlikely to me that either Pickle or Joy, or any of their posse is going to step forward and admit in a straightforward and upfront manner that AdventTalk is their baby. They demand answers and info, but have so far not demonstrated that they can give that themselves in answer to any direct questions put to them.

I just don't think that this whole mess is going to go away soon....
Me neither, but I think that they,or at least AdventTalk, should be left alone in their forum and allowed to showcase their mess and reveal the ugliness that festers there all by themselves.
Anything which can or needs to be addressed or rebutted can obviously be done here, and as they like to pretend this forum doesn't exist that works nicely for us.
They will either alienate all who go there, or dry up without arguments or opposition to feed on and no one to attack, except themselves. Old and repetitious arguments, accusations, and insinuations don't go far when you are just talking to yourselves, and going in endless circles...
Anyway, my two cents.
Have a good day all. smile.
