Going to court.
In December 2002, I founded The High Road forum dedicated to the advancement of responsible gun ownership. Recently, it was discovered that in 2006, the volunteer forum systems administrator, Derek Zeanah of Statesboro, Georgia, changed domain registration to himself. After he was confronted, Derek locked out all other staff from accessing the Web server administration and would not share even backup copies of its content. After failed attempts to peacefully resolve the dispute, it has become necessary for me to initiate a lawsuit against Derek Zeanah for the return of thehighroad.org domain name and the forum database.

I am seeking and would greatly appreciate donations to help with the cost of litigation. You can use Paypal (olegvolk@gmail.com) or send a check to:
Oleg Volk 3112 Chambley Ct Hermitage, TN 37076

All donations shall be returned if the lawsuit is ultimately avoided. You can also aid me by re-posting this appeal on your blog, forum or web site. My legal position is already endorsed by almost all of The High Road staff as well as Rich Lucibella, the founder of The Firing Line forum.

UPDATE: Derek's reaction was to disable The High Road forum all together. He also removed most of the staff who opposed him.

That's disappointing. Oleg is a good guy, and THR is (was?) a good gun forum.

Oleg is one of my favorite photographer's and big influence to my style. However, I could care less about THR...too many trolls there! LOL

i think it's not so much trolling as it is social experimentation.....

Amazing that it happened 2 years ago, and it's just now getting "airtime".

I went there to look into it, but it's all "hush hush" and it seems like nobody can talk about. I quickly lost interest in figuring out what actually happened.


The folks who bitch about this place should check THAT shit out. Perhaps their perspective on how "bad" things are here would change a bit.

My wife uses a forum where posts get deleted, and people get banned for the word "poop".

I think I'll stick with this forum.

Damn, Oleg needs to pick his friends more carefully. This is the second time I've heard of him getting screwed over. Shame, he seems like a decent guy from what I've seen.
