I think things are gettin' a bitout of hand.

[Strid]

As of late it seems some things are gettin' out of hand 'round here. The flame on the admins from Raider seemed to spark a ridiculous fire that, imo, was completly uncalled for. Garvin gettin' banned was also a bit out there. I know you guys may not care to much for the guy, hell, I don't, but it's the principle of the matter. To be fair, he was right, at least in the post that got him banned. The whole incident was handled poorly from the start and you guys with uber leet status handled yourselves even worse.

As per what the whole fight was about to begin with I can't really side with anyone because I don't know the facts, obviously, like any other normal user here. However, I will say this, it -looked- like a QCDN mafia where if you didn't kiss ass you got scrapped and if you kissed ass you stayed. The people who got to keep their positions didn't do much for a better image either. It also appeared like some just wanted to flex their e-muscles.

Anyway, it looks like you guys are havin' some trouble, maybe you've finally broke. Right now, things look silly, and Miros, I know you conduct yourself better than recently. You're a major part to why this site is still poppin' like it is today. I figure you've probably just snapped from lack of appreciation but I'd like to ask you and the others to take a step back, collect yourselves, remember what you're here for, and re-evaluate whether or not you want to do what you do. Just cool off a bit and get back to normal. I assure you that most of us with an ounce of sense appreciate the work you guys do, even if we don't see eye-to-eye all the time.

The ordeal might be over for all I know but I figured I'd type this as a pre-emptive strike against the "WELCOME TO THE THUNDERDOME, BITCH!" if that is where we're headin'. Cool them heads please, we're mostly all adults here, let's continue to act like it.

I don't care for the guy, and he contributed nothing to the site at all. The only thing he did was always bait, be a dick, and belittle the site. I also banned Artie for the same thing + a little harassment on the side. The post I used to ban Garvin wasn't the one that made it count. I just can't infraction PMs. You don't like how the Raidr and Garvin situation played out? I'm sorry to hear that. However you don't have access to a number of other items so it's best that you just stay out of it.

The people who stayed? My god out of the three it was Morwen. And she didn't kiss my ass at all. She took initiative and took over a large portion of the boards that she didn't even have to. Did you read the whole post? If you did you probably wouldn't really be posting this part since it explained everything in there and quite a few users had agreed with what happened.

I'm not having any trouble at all. I've just come to the realization that half of the users on this board don't come here for information, to talk to friends, or to catch up on new FFXI stuff. They come on here to take an "e-shit" on the boards and the people who are trying to make them better. Well the news is out! Since I know that I won't be able to change their position, what's the point of keeping them? Change the attitude or pack up and go is how it is now. And that mentality isn't a new thing to message boards. This board has been far too relaxed in the past and that's why people think it's A-Ok to just go around and bash the site and the staff.

The ordeal might be over for all I know but I figured I'd type this as a pre-emptive strike against the "WELCOME TO THE THUNDERDOME, BITCH!" if that is where we're headin'. Cool them heads please, we're mostly all adults here, let's continue to act like it.

Well if the ordeal is over then you really shouldn't have posted this. You say we are all adults here? We just had a flame on me because the user couldn't handle being demoted. How is that being an adult at all? If you are saying I should get rid of all the childish users...well I could. I mean I know Tim really wants to clean out that shed, right Tim?

I sure do Wilson!

Har har. As for the whole showing off the e-muscles and whatnot. Just a reminder, it is my name in red and the admin banner under my name. It is me who if you've seen anything new on this board, it was my doing. So on this board I have the biggest e-peen and the biggest e-muscles. And you know what, I'll be making sure it is known. That is at least for the next month.
