Greetings to All !!
As most of you know, I am an Admin over at the Open MicroForum; which is owned and operated by Baron VonServers of the Dominion of British West Florida.
As some of you might also already know by now, the Open MicroForum has been off-line for several days; which is the reason behind this posting.
Even though I am an Admin @ the Open MicroForum, and even though I communicate with the Baron on a semi-regular basis ( pm, email, phone ); I am presently in the dark, as to why the Open MicroForum has been unaccessible for these past few days.
I am unable to communicate with the Baron on any media; therefore, I ask if anyone here at this forum has had any recent communication with the Baron, or if anyone knows as to why His Open MicroForum is currently off-line. ( ?? )
Thanks in advance for any informative replies.
Regards to All !! _____________

Open Microforum? can you provide a URL to where this was? Greetings chasj !! Your reply seemed to suggest that you may not have been familiar with the Open MicroForum. ( ? ) In case you were not aware, here is a tidbit of info: The Open MicroForum has approx 45 / 50 members: DBWF, Imperium: P.R.O.G. / F.R.E.E., Vikesland, YAN, 5WC: ILI, Molossia, etc...( too many other respected MicroGovts to list here and now ); and it is several years in the making, with the current site being the 2nd or 3rd location with the same name, and basically the same membership. Highest Regards !! _______________ P.S. Several of the members of this forum are also members of the Open MicroForum; including this forum: listofmicronations. ( "scratch each other's back" / "one good turn deserves another" ) PAST POST: OPEN MICROFORUM OPEN INVITATION________________________________________________

Yes I was aware of it, but as there is two forums listing the same name, its hard to work out which is which. This is the other with a similar name: openmicronation.17.forumer.com/index.phpThis forum we are discussing here, was one that We had tried to gain membership too some time ago, but as the registration system seemed to allow you to register and not go any further, we couldn't log in, and our account didn't appear to be even activated. We disregarded it as a dead forum, so hence didn't go any further.

Greetings chasj !! The above site location was ( still is ) the "older-sister" to the current one in question. The Baron established the new forum, as an "ad-free" forum; since the "older-sister" forum listed above kept getting over-ran with crude-&-rude advertising. I've not paid a visit to the former forum for quite some time now; maybe I had better see if it is still "alive", or if it has also gone down too. ___________________________________________________ This forum we are discussing here, was one that We had tried to gain membership too some time ago, but as the registration system seemed to allow you to register and not go any further, we couldn't log in, and our account didn't appear to be even activated. We disregarded it as a dead forum, so hence didn't go any further. I apologize to You for Your inconvenience, and I am aware that the forum's registration system program had a "glitch" occur some time back; which the Baron corrected immediately upon His becoming aware of the problem; which might have been during the time You applied, and when Your account didn't get activated. ( ? ) If-and-when the Open MicroForum gets back on its feet; please, if You are still interested, re-apply and let me know when You do so, so that I can make sure that Your membership is activated immediately. Highest Regards to You & Yours !! ___________________________

Thank you,
The Older-sister site you mention is still up and active, although hardly anyone posts there. As for registration, we had tried under two different usernames several weeks apart, without any activation of the account. We did not even receive an email from the site. I have a vast experience with Forum scripts, as I run several large scale forums.
We would be interested in joining if the site does return.

I just paid a visit to the "older-sister" ( former forum ), and saw that "she" was still "alive" ; and I even answered your question that you had posted there. If-and-when the newest Open MicroForum "ad-free" site ( the one in question ) returns to the internet, I will personally see to it that your application for membership is activated immediately. I'll keep trying to contact the Baron, to see what happened. Thanks for your interest and patience. Highest Regards to You & Yours !! ___________________________

It should be mentioned that the Open Micro forum is the current home of Cesidio Tallini, self-declared god, prophet, king, archbishop, high priest, dean, professor, astrologer, new age purple child, greatest intellect the world has ever known, keystone of micronationalism and all-round raving paranoid funnyman.
His stupendous hubris, garbled rants and periodic explosive attacks on other forum members are still as colourful and entertaining as ever. ;D

If one can digest, or set aside, some / all of His personal opinions, and attempt to understand some of His micronational views and goals; then, one could / should / would be a better person for it.

Mr Tallini is certainly a unique creative talent.
He just needs to have it channelled productively - and to tone down his arrogance by about 25,000% - as he seems to have an unerring ability to instantly alienate just about everyone he encounters online with his ceaseless boasting and bombast.

You are absolutely correct !! ;D I've had several "clashes" with Governor Tallini over the years; but eventually we two find a way around our differences, and once again return to exchanging ideas and views....until the next time He or I get-into-it. ;D He and I have conducted several TeleSummits over the phone over these last several years; and to listen to someone in real time, can ( sometimes ) shed a different light on a person who you only know via typed words. But...you are correct....if He were to ever conform just a little to the way of the majority, He would advance His agendas farther and faster than He could ever dream possible. ( but do NOT hold your breathe for too long ;D )

My last encounter with Mr Tallini was at Wikipedia, over 5 years ago, and it was quite hysterical, in all senses of the word.
Thankfully I was just an observer.
In the end he departed after exploding in an incandescent rage and posting a rant in which he informed his imagined persecutors that he was god, and that he would cast them all into the firey pit of hell when he returned on Judgement Day!
Talk about people skills! ;D

Cant say I have ever spoken to him in person though, our conversations were email based.

Mr. Tallini and the Kingdom of BUCKSFAN is been under the same watch by the Domain that we've had upon the ANSE, because of their dealings with the ANSE, however brief that association was...
Arrogance, superiority complexes, and the like are things I donnae' have the time, patience, or inclination to deal with from Mr. Tallini... Or from anyone, for that matter... Racisim and bigotry I tolerate even less - both personally and officially... That Tallini knowingly associated with the ANSE, while it is guilt by association, does not instill trust, atop of Mr. Tallini's "quirks"...

ANSE = Aryan National Socialist Empire
Mr Tallini, having alienated just about everyobody he's ever come in contact with, is desperate enough to clutch at whatever straws come his way, no matter who they are or what they believe.
So long as they appear to bolster his delusions, he's happy.

Another thought to think about........ ( applies to Tallini, as well to almost all, at sometime or another )
Just as it is within the "macro" community of nations: the Greater MicroSphere has nations and leaders who may be a bit *off-center* with regards to traditionally accepted values and norms; but who must be *accepted* in a serious manner by the majority of MicroLeaders and MicroGovts, although not necessarily *respected* within that same general acceptance. ( i.e. to "accept" another's right to exist ( leader and/or micronation ), does not mean that one must "respect" said leader or MicroGovt )
Macro examples: Leaders of Iran, N. Korea, etc.... ( they are there, not going away.....so learn and try to alter their views and ways )
SOoooo...I suppose that what I am saying, is not that I respect, nor encourage, nor validate Governor Tallini's past and/or present views; however, I believe that if the micro community of nations is to ever grow into anything more than it has / is, the majority of MicroGovts must learn how to set aside our own personal bias, and attempt to *change* those MicroLeaders and their MicroGovt's views, agendas, and goals; so as to conform to the norms that are present within the Greater MicroSphere. ( i.e. I do not defend Tallini, but I have attempted to alter some of his views from time-to-time over the last 5-to-7 years or so. )
Point being.......
To have Tallini, or another MicroLeader of his stature, as a member of this ( or any other microForum ), is much the same as the UN does with regards to several "macro" leaders; which is to say: that "everyone can learn something, from someone, at sometime"[/i].
Besides........it does make for rather interesting debates and discussions on a rather regular basis; which helps to take one out of his or her safe-cocoon....where we stay too often in an isolated and insulated atmosphere / enviornment.

Has anyone ever successfully changed Mr Tallini's mind on any of his pet subjects? Can't say that I have either. However, I do know for a fact...that due to several encounters with Governor Tallini over at the Open MicroForums, regarding some of his "pet" subjects; that he did lessen his rhetoric on his personal views, and did begin posting and replying in a much more respectful and mutual manner. This I know for fact........... All it takes....is to attempt to be one's very best at personal diplomacy; merely by meeting on common ground, on subjects that reflect mutual interest; thereby, allowing for the other person to feel as though he or she is welcomed on a level playing field. ( i.e. accepted....not necessarily respected )"Hate and Bias Begets Hate and Bias" ( "garbage in....garbage out" )Everyone wants to be accepted...as a part of what he or she has a vested interest in. ___________________________________________________
