Moon Man was banned by BAUT, and then joined this forum. This seems to have sparked a large influx of new members from BAUT who have joined "in his wake".
I welcome this- debate between us all is the best way to determine the truth- but I am curious as to one thing.
If he caused such offence there, why did so many of you follow him here?

For me? It was because I'm attracted to watching stupidity much like some people are attracted to car wrecks. Edit: Also, I got banned from BAUT for a day. But eh, the administrator did it for a reason I can agree with. But I just spend more time here now 'cause I'm bored, don't have much else to do right now, and... well, am attracted to stupidity  |

Sure, if you want to be beside me when I look.

Moon Man was merely banned for breaking the rules of the BAUT forum, as was Lonewulf. Moon Man seems to think otherwise and appears to think it was Dr Plait who banned him, but it wasn't, it was well-respected moderator and super-poster ToSeek. Another of the moderators fully agreed with ToSeek's decision.
Nobody is ever banned there for expressing a different opinion, and in fact it is welcomed and there are a quite a few ATM and HB posters who have been there a long time. People are only banned if they break the rules, especially if they continue to do so after being given a warning.

Yes, it was funny, Moon Man. About as funny as a stroke.
And Kiwi, exactly. Except that I was suspended temporarily, Moon Man's ban was more or less permanent.
Otherwise, yeh, it was because of his behaviour.

Moon Man was banned "permanently" from BAUT, but then unbanned when a number of posters asked that he be allowed back. A few days later, he was banned again, this one looks like it really is permanent. |

Well I'm new here as well and this is my first post. I never posted much at BAUT because I didn't like the "gatekeeping" that went on there.
These are supposed to be discussion boards, so when I see that the moderators are the ones brutally debasing every new idea that comes along, not to mention editing posts, locking threads for no reason and banning good posters, I can't help but see it as a board that doesn't allow free discussion and even seems intent on preventing it.
I welcome open debate and discussion on any topic. I have a few beliefs myself which are very non-mainstream, and I look forward to discussing them here.

I will just say that the administrator of this forum is fairer than the administration of BAUT, although you must bear in mind that the description of this site (of which this forum is the only active part) is
"Welcome to ApolloHoax.net, a website devoted to countering claims that the Apollo moon landings were faked".
To my mind, this should read
"Welcome to ApolloHoax.net, a website devoted to discussing claims that the Apollo moon landings were faked".
Just one word, but a world of difference in the implication of impartiality.
Stick with it, time will prove us right.

Stick with it, time will prove us right. Only if all the laws of science that have proven you wrong are somehow completely wrong. How is it that rockets work again? |

Can you point me in the direction of any evidence that any Earth-originating craft has ever landed on, then taken off from, an extra-terrestrial body using rocketry?
No, I thought not.

Rockets on extra-terrestrial bodies are a somewhat different subject to New Members and you should have started a new thread.

The Soviet spacecraft Luna 16, Luna 20 and Luna 24 all landed on the Moon and returned lunar samples to the Earth between 1970 and 1974. They gathered a total of about 300 grams of material.
The Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa has now twice landed on an asteroid and lifted off again. It's also trying to obtain a sample to return to Earth.
Think about it this way. If a rocket can fire in the vacuum of space, what's to stop it firing in the vacuum on the surface of a planet or asteroid?
