It makes one look like a moron.

First of all, her UV in it's original incarnation didn't last very long at all. After the split, a guy who went by JC hosted Doombot's UV while Junkyard Dog ran the other one. Junkyard Dog's UV lasted for about two and a half years. It went under for a a few months for a while due to hosting issues, but those were resolved with a new host. However, eventually the new host also had hosting issues. Last fall it went under for what appears to be the last time. Junkyard Dog has disappeared as well. Most who were on that board didn't like Jen and wanted nothing to do with her.

Jen's first UV board after the split (the one hosted by JC) lasted a few months, but it was plagued with server issues. When Vault 13 popped into the FO scene (run by JC and Greg), it became the host of UV. However, the UV was a completely independent body from Vault 13, with it's own set of moderators and rules. Jen was only mod for a little while, and then she stopped being moderator (as to why that happened, I couldn't tell you, since I didn't start on that board (being a regular on Junkyard Dog's board) until after Jen quit being mod). Paladin/Petrarch who had moderated the previous board of Jen's basically was head mod from the start @ Vault13.

I eventually posted on both boards regularly. There was still a slight amount of animosity between the two boards, although their dislike for Terra was at least common ground.

Eventually Vault13 started having script issues, because too many moderators were given to much access to the board scripts and started fucking it up with all the modifications. The Vault13 UV started looking for a new home, and Moonbiter offered to host us at Vault-Tec after talking to Paladin/Petrarch. Supposedly this created bad feelings between JC and Paladin, though, I don't know the story there.

Since the demise of Junkyard Dog's board, many of the regulars have moved over to the Vault-Tec board, but those who disliked Jen still do. It's just that they've all gotten over the past, and really don't feel like dredging it up since it won't accomplish anything anyway. The fact that Jen doesn't moderate probably had something to do with their return as well.

So no, Jen hasn't really been forgiven by many for what she did. And many did have a problem with what she did, even those who weren't directly affected. That's one of the reasons so many bailed out on her board.

Stick to talking about things you actually know about next time.
