      I don't think people here at TT care a lot about what's going on there...

      Isn't it a toxic board anyway ?

      It is an odd and shady board, that's for certain.

      AAAh welcome on the hyperacusis-network, nothing interesting in this grim place where people think hyperacusis is a brain problem, where the cure is TRT, etc...

      Yes from reading just a few messages, it's like "Hyperacusis you have, because hyperacusis you want".

      OMG.

      It's the draconian censorship that scares me, not so much the agenda. Purztruq didn't even do anything wrong, as far as I can tell from reading this image/that thread. All he did was present an opinion and asked some questions that challenged Rob's views and he was banned outright without any explanation given.

      I know others who were banned from there for seemingly innocent postings. It seems to have become someone's personal empire.

      Hi Sen. Did you post in that thread? How do you know that the post where Rob answered that Dan Malcore moderates the board existed?
      I posted in that thread.

      No, I've been banned at the H Network for years now (alongside many others.) I've attempted to make accounts and post since then, but I am point blank banned again every time. No second chances, it seems.

      I didn't make the image in the OP, but I know the post you mentioned existed because I saw it before it was deleted. I've beeen following that thread with some interest. You can also clearly tell from the context of the following post that Purztruq is responding to a post where Rob answered one question and ignored the other.

      ps. If this thread is inappropriate for here, I would not mind if it were deleted. Just thought the image made an interesting observation.

      I supposed so. The words you used were exactly the same as the ones in the self-deleted post: “Dan Malcore moderates the board”. I have the email notification of the message.

      Another curiosity. I didn’t see Dan response to Berta directly from the thread, because it had already disappeared. But Berta showed me the email notification. This is the text:

      “I never saw your message. I have no idea what happened. Sometimes there is a glitch in the message board. Please feel free to re-register. I am sorry for the inconvenience.”

      I suppose that the message received in the notification is the first version of the text, because the system creates the email when the post is created. But then the post was edited by Dan/Rob. This is the edited text, the one that your image shows:

      “I never saw your message. I have no idea what happened. Sometimes there is a glitch in the message board. For what I can see on my end, you have not posted anything. Are you sure you hit the “Save” button so your post appear on the message board?”

      Note: The post appeared in the message board. And Purztruq tried to visit the site later and found his account disabled and his IP address blocked.

      Imagine the situation. First, the moment after he/they read Berta’s thread, he/they needed and answer and came up with the glitch idea, probably an explanation he/they had already used. Then, after the first text was online, he/they thought the message was not good enough. By the way, is Dan the only author? Does Rob have access to Dan account, so as to be able to log in as him? Or did they talk by chat or phone, in order to consider the most appropriate answer? The thing is that they didn’t like the first text, so he/they corrected the post so as to offer the most elegant answer possible. See that the correction doesn’t have the kind invitation to re-register. Soon after that, he/they decided to delete the thread and Berta died, as Purztruq before. Another glitch in the software.

      Few days later, another Purztruq’s apprentice, Longinus, was glitched. He posted twice in a thread. The next day I saw that not only his two posts were deleted and his account banned, but also was deleted the following post by Leila9, a newbie user worried about her symptoms Longinus was trying to help. But there were two more posts by Mithrandir and Jirimenzel. These two posts were also deleted later. I only have an image of these two last posts.


      “...where Rob answered one question and ignored the other.”
      Another subject would be to discuss why he ignored selectively Purztruq’s questions and to look for the Holy Grail.

      Thank you for your post. I think it is interesting and no... why would someone delete it? Enough deletion already.

      A poster from H Network PM'd me a year ago after he was banned for disagreeing with the brains trust about something. I thought then he was being a bit extreme, now I think he was bang-on about the place.

      I also saw the posts by Longinus and thought they were very interesting and informative regarding Tensor Tympani Syndrome and such. I don't understand why they were deleted. They didn't go against any of the rules of the board. So very strange.

      Its almost like they've taken a philosophical stand against any discussion of potentially treatable options that involve something other then TRT/White Noise.

      I think the moderator account "dylan" is controlled by Rob. Their writing style is the same. The dylanmoderator@yahoo.com email account is attached to the name "Dylan Bobby" which is conspicuously fake (it's a reference to Bob Dylan).

      Why he would feel the need to hide his moderator status is a mystery, but it's as clear as day that he has some sort of involvement.

      Here's a screenshot of the email "dylan" sent me when I was banned back in 2013. This is back when I was terrified out of my mind and actively suicidal as a result of the onset of hyperacusis/tinnitus and my entire life falling apart.

      What I wrote when I 'broke the rule again' was: "This place is freaking me out more and more all the time."

      It appears the H network forum is down today. I wonder why?

      I did a little digging this morning and checked the whois info for the forum domain name on godaddy.com. All of this info is publicly available online and very easy to find. Here is the link:

      Couldn't have said it better myself. Unfortunately, the main antagonist in the plot at the Hypercusis-Network who goes by the name "Rob" or "Rob x 2" also managed to spread his infested pseudo-science to Tinnitus-Talk. On Tinnitus-Talk he used to post as here2help: a rather ill-fitting name for a profile that has advised numerous hyperacusis sufferers to expose their ears to daily environment sound levels (only to incur worsening hyperacusis as a consequence). Incredibly, I learnt of his real personality via a mugshot. Hard to believe, but true.

      Speaking of that, here are some funny screenshots I took a few years back from the TSMB of a dialogue between Rob and another member. These were deleted, of course, but I thought it was entertaining enough to document.

      Thanks; agreed. From the mugshot I obtained, I can confirm that the last post by RHajmand shown in the your image has the photo of Rob x 2 inserted: look at the YouTube clip image to the right (the guy with the checkered shirt - that's him!). The mugshot I have of Rob x 2 was from when he was booked by the Fulton County Sheriff's office in 2011. His first name is indeed Rob - as in "Robert". RHajmand is not joking when he states: "Besides, you'll probably be in jail again".

      He is a sissy alright as RHajmand states. Not to mention an erratic individual who has dispensed countless pieces of dangerous hyperacusis "advice" on the Internet using the cloak of anonymity. His faithful little lapdog Nagler is never far behind whenever Rob x 2 is around. That's for sure............

      Well chat-h is back up and I'm banned cuz slimeball Rob, the Jastreboff fuckboi, couldn't handle facts. I was polite even as he desperately kept lying and avoiding my questions by concern trolling into my personal circumstances and my grammar.

      Crazy how such a useful forum, with radically useful archives, is now a shithole.
