I don't understand you people. You guys have good rules now, a selection of themes to choose from (to be fair, they're not the best) awesome moderators, a whole sub-forum now for your antics, multi-quoting, and etc. And yet you STILL say this place isn't good enough to be graced by your godly presence.
Screw that.
You know, the only thing I've ever required from you guys is that you follow the rules. And some of you CAN'T EVEN DO THAT. And then when they're punished for not following the rules, they immediately scream MOD ABUSE!
You people act like you're waiting for some majestic admin to sweep you away into totseland where Jeff Hunter reigns and everything's wonderful and exact and perfect again. Guess what? TOTSE IS ALREADY HERE ONCE MORE. This site is by FAR the closest you're going to get to that website and to those ideals. Why don't you spend some time looking on Google for another replacement. Maybe, like me, you'll finally realize just how unique this site, this forum is. How unique totse was. Or maybe you just want /b/. I don't know. I'm not psychic.
All I know is, I believe in this site and if you want to be a faggot then just leave. I certainly don't want you here if you're just going a little whiny fag all the time. And I know others are sick of this crap too.
Arnox, you've made exactly ONE accurate statement in this whole post....the rest is just whining and lashing out at anyone that tries to point out your blatant contradictions and hypocrisy. You are right, you do NOT understand the members of this userbase, because if you had any semblance of a clue you wouldn't have such a high percentage of the users trying to steer you in the right direction.
But everything else you posted above is just patting yourself on the back (amongst a whole shitload of inaccurate commentaries), and having some spastic tantrum.
No, you don't have awesome moderators when the most active one is a derailing toxic kook. Then you claim how the "rules are fair"....when you are already abusing your own rule system and making shit up as you go along. Perfect evidence to that is how Infinity Shock was banned for a flame post in B&M, when that IS the purpose and intent of the section. But out of spastic butthurt and insecurity you make it out to be "derailing" when right out the other end of your mouth you won't derail other people while just chalking shit up to..."meh, the thread/information wasn't useful any how".
What was especially humorous is how you ended your rant...."if you wanna be a faggot, just leave". When you are harboring/coddling the biggest faggot here and still don't understand the bigger picture of condoning a toxic derailing worthless piece of shit that is on your staff.
I'm going to ask you again, and perhaps this time you won't just avoid it as you've done the other few times I've brought it up to you. Exactly HOW do you think all of this is going to finally resolve itself? You are now to the point of lashing out and getting so irate at the majority of your userbase in constant pissing matches you'll never ever win. Do you think it's all going to just suddenly "go away", or out of more frustration in impulsive butthurt are you going to continue to ban every one of your detractors like you did with Inifinity.
Weeks before you modded Zek you had expressed publicly you were starting to feel a bit "burned out" by a lot more minor drama then you've created the last several weeks. Things settled down, and you said you felt better. But how do you feel NOW? Can you honestly say you are "enjoying" any of this? If you were on the edge then, there is no way this can be a positive experience for you at this point, its impossible. And until you change your attitude, demeanor, tactics and focus...its only going to get worse for you as evidenced with every passing hour you are losing more respect and trust with an ever growing number of members.
And no, making smilies and themes ain't gonna do you shit....its just fluff and bullshit, nothing more. You need to SERIOUSLY change your outlook and start eating some humble pie in the very near future...or else it won't be "burning out" on your end, instead a full fledged implosion, which as witnessed by your posts and tone the last couple of days we may already be at that point of no return.
