Wow this is insane, hope it works all out.

[el mechanico]

Jail builds character. Everyone should go for a few days.

As for Roosh does anyone know which jail he's in? And for what?

[draguer]

Terrible news. We'll ride this out and be stronger for it.

[Suits]

Happy to help. Whatever it takes.

[Libertas]

Well, this isn't very pleasant news. Well done to Tuth on seeing ahead and planning for this possibility.

The Roosh V site loads fine for me.

[K Galt]

If this really is a serious/worst case scenario - like Roosh getting convicted and sentenced to some time - expect this shit to go viral - perhaps even the big mainstream mass media viral....and not in a good way, either.

[Emancipator]

What will happen with ReturnofKings?

Yes, this will go viral. While any criminal charges that Roosh may be facing are not for his social or political views, mainstream media articles will attempt to tie the two together.

They will attempt to portray Roosh as a violent, anti-society anarchist who should never left unsupervised with a woman.

This also serves as a good reminder to watch the company you keep. I doubt I'll be meeting members who have not been vouched for by other members, or at the very least have contributed with a long history of meaningful information.

I would appreciate it if someone else could confirm that they can load http://rooshv.com. I can't and am finding it strange.

Loads fine for me on chrome

Wow, this whole story sucks...

Roosh should have avoided confrontation as Don and I advised him on the 30th of January.

I also advised him in January to leave Poland as soon as possible:

"Eastern Europe is not the USA... Shit can hit the fan pretty fast for a foreigner without connections (and I suspect this guy Andre might have better psychopatic connections than Uncle Roosh).

If I were Roosh, I would have quickly left the place already en route to Saint Petersburg or something. No shame in temporary retreat. When you think about it, the situation could not be much worse for Roosh and his reputation in Wroclaw..."

I hope everything gets better fast for Roosh. Let us know what we can do to help him (perhaps his French-Moroccan friend in Warsaw can do something for him)

New Rules (First Batch)
There was a wave of new rules that Roosh and I were in discussion about privately. I think now is a good time to start to implement them. Effective immediately:

1. Questioning Roosh's Status. Anyone publicly questioning the veracity of Roosh's arrest, or the evidence of it thereof, will be subject to formal forum sanctions, up to and including perma-ban.

2. Bad Thread Titles. More than three vague or boring thread titles will result in an automatic ban.

3. Alpha or Nomad Names. Anyone with the word "alpha" or "nomad" in their username will be required to change their handle within 14 days. I will send out name-change requests to those members.

4. Fees for Warnings. Minor warnings will cost $2, 3-day warnings will cost $5, and 7-dayers will be $10. Users will have to set up an escrow account to cover forum expenses. Users with over 50 rep points will have a "bill me later" option which they will have to settle at the end of every month. Delinquent account will lose posting privileges. I expect this system to be up within 30 days.

5. Datasheet Packages. Old datasheets will be archived and bundled into datasheet packages according to region. I will name a volunteer forum archivist for this position. These will then be purchasable through a PayPal account.

6. Forum Administration Smilies. The following animated gifs are off-limits to users. Only I, and the yet-to-be-named moderator, can use them. Unauthorized use of it will result in a one-week suspension ($10).



7. Change in Registration. Registration will re-open to 365 days a year, but new members will be required to be silver, gold, or lifetime gold. Also the low introductory rates will be phased out.

8. New Moderation Team. Moderating this forum is hard work. I will remain at the helm, but will name a deputy moderator as soon as possible. I will also appoint 3-4 "Meter Men" who will patrol the forum for violations and will have the ability to "write tickets" (make official recommendations for suspensions/fines).

More to come. I will update the master rule-list in the coming days.

[RexImperator]

This is a bummer.

On the ever so slightly positive side, he did say in his videos that he was starting the "Convict Conditioning" workout program. That was some foresight on his part, apparently.

[YoungDominican]

Hmm this is fucked up. Probably guessed that one day some shit like this would happen. Looks like some big changes coming for the forum.

[DiogoFC]

What about his family? He lives far from them, but I bet he used his "phone calll right" to contact someone home. Does anybody, be it toeknee or someone else, have the means to talk to them? Maybe his brother or sister. They must know something.

[Malekhit]

Questioning Roosh's Status WTF is that tuth ? fuck these nazi rules. I will riot and

[Faust]

Damn...

I'd been wondering why I hadn't seen him talk much lately. I'd expected him to write more about what was going on in the Ukraine since he was right there.
I guess this explains it, then.

[Kimber]

can we question why we aren't allowed to question roosh's arrest?

whats with alpha and nomad names? and the smileys? can we have reasonings for them? they seem ridiculous.

[The Lizard of Oz]

Something is wrong.

[TheBulldozer]

I am so confused.

[Comte De St. Germain]

I'm more worried about the warnings and fees things honestly. Quite a few of us lack money period and have no experience with Escrow accounts. Guess I'll prolly be off the forum for a couple of months or then until I can get some bank into my bank account. Personally something smells off too with these changes. Could we get some explanations?

And what does it matter if it does? Chicks still want to fuck Chris Brown.

I doubt you could pick any writer the children of privilege idolises - not having actually read them, just knowing 'they're cool' - who hasn't gone to jail or been arrested for socially-transgressing against the dominant cultural morality of their time.

Roosh is a smart writer, and a highly-resilient man. Jail time won't break him or shame him.

[Sourcecode]

The reason there shouldnt be a lot of questioning is because this is still a public forum.
Roosh is currently in jail in a foreign country...We cant have people throwing hearsay around or trying to track him down for who knows what reason.

When you have the time Tuth (I know you must be very busy with recent events) can you go into some detail on the above rule?

I'm not questioning it, I'd just like to know the thinking on it.
