<<why was Pauline banned from Langcafé ? >>
Pauline was a pain in the ass. She kept provoking Sander who responded in kind and got himself banned from Langcafé. She continued to post weird messages and accused others of being mean to her or ignoring her altogether. Then she got mad because she found out there was a secret adult's only subforum and despite being told that she was underage, she continued to bitch about it and created another account under a fake name and asked André to grant her access to the subforum, which he did. When André found out it was Pauline all along, he kicked her off, which sent that wimpy, spoilt brat Benjamin on a nasty tirade against André for not being sympathetic to her.

I disagree, you haven't got that quite right. Sander was banned months before Pauline, and he really was a pain in the ass (I give you that!)
Pauline did post weird messages, that's true but she didn't accuse anyone of being mean to her that I can remember. She did write a post about the others ignoring her, but it was definitely when she was ill because it wasn't only about people ignoring her, but all sorts of weirdness like thoughts being put into their heads and so on.
I didn't find her that annoying, actually, I liked her. She was fun and never rude to anyone personally. She obviously wasn't normal and with mental people you don't know what to expect next but most people on the forum didn't have a problem with her. I think the forum lost a lot of its appeal when they banned her, especially the way André did it (bitching behind her back but on a thread viewed by everyone else).
As for Benjamin, I found the guy pleasant enough. You sound very bitter, Guest2, it makes me sort of think you could be a certain person whose name I won't mention because I'd only be speculating and I prefer facts.
The adult forum business was a mess and completely André's fault. I had access to it and found it rather dull, some people found it pornographic seeing as it had pictures of penises and the like. The trouble started when Porthos, who was 17, had access but André announced that it was strictly 18+ knowing full well that underage visitors were viewing it. Pauline was the only regular visitor excluded from the adult forum so of course she wanted to see it. Wouldn't you if you were her age?
André didn't deal with things well. He's quite a likable guy, I wouldn't say he was deliberately provocative like Sander was, but he got vicious when he was angry, and he said some things which should never have been said. He's not had an easy life being gay and Afrikaans I guess and the bitterness came out now and again.
The results speak for themselves. From a buzzing forum last year, it's now practically abandoned except for the odd visit by Uriel, Elaine and André. The last 2 are the Admin anyway. It couldn't be Pauline's or Benjamin's fault, seeing as she was banned in 2007 and Benjamin left after a tirade of abuse which was thrown at him and originally instigated by André. No, most people liked those two youngsters but had finally had enough of André.
