I have no idea what teh deal is over there. I even posted in Luuv's little rant thread about teh board (where he was actually answering 95% of teh posts) about how my big complaint was when some of teh more experienced posters actually post decent suggestions, we don't even get teh slightest acknowledgment. And that was proven when he answered a few posts before mine, then all teh ones after mine, but not mine. And I was even being nice.

*holds throbbing head* Mes maux de tête. I got through some of teh "Goodbye and good riddance" thread. I wonder how things got this bad? I know I said I was done there but still. I think it's sad that it's escalated to this. Nothing personal against teh mods, but I should just dismantle my webpage. I think it's only logical. I'm glad that I had a chance to correspond with some of them as they are really rockesh people. Well, at least saddy is providing us with a refuge. Thanks so much, hon! We all L-word you here! *walks away with a discreetly covered pill bottle* Vicodin, take me away! EDIT: Yup, I'm losing teh war with teh veins in my cranium.

Yeah, sure, turn your back on us. Everyone else has... Wha...? Dues, I'm sorry that you see things that way. I think all I need is a break also. Things that are going on are too hectic. You and Odin have always had my utmost respect, if that's any consolation.

Yeah, THAT's really how to run a board. Fuck THAT.

I miss you guys, good luck with whatever you do! as much of a solitary person I am, having a community was good. I remember college, going from dorm-room to dorm room... timing it so that one unfiltered Djarum would last me to teh exact moment I got to College-In-teh-Woods... Denny's at four a.m. having teh nickname 'smiling dan.' gods... lifetimes ago. Anyways, keep me posted.

That's really nice Odin, but apparently we didn't matter until we left. so NOW they're trying to fix things up. Yeah, THAT's really how to run a board. Fuck THAT. ~sighs~ that too is a really good point. (leaving aside teh fact that luuv, that waste of space asshole muncher had teh nerve to say we'd be crawling back... and flamed me, etc...) Several of us poured our hearts and souls into helping teh boards. We were met with claims that we were being wrongfully possesive (they WERE our boards, we MADE them what they were). We were told we were being elitists. We were given form letters for answers and patted on teh head and told not to bother teh grownups. We had mods talking down to us and flaming us as we left, blaming us for teh problems with teh boards, attacking teh 'old guard' instead of working with us. Egos were threatened, and instead of working constructively, some mods and admins lashed out. For weeks we pointed out why, in specific, teh boards were suffering. Not because of teh new layout, or because we had some irrational attatchment to teh old boards. But becuase collectively we had tens if not hundreds of hours spent, and we saw what was happening. And only after we left did anything start being done. I don't know how I feel about all of this, but any time I even think about posting I remember how luuv was talking about how my 'meltdown' was a 'long time coming'. How I was spamming teh boards in my thread on ratings. How we'd caused drama in order to have some fun and watch teh shit fly, and how we'd all be coming back. and I refuse to make a sanctimonious self-rightous son of a whore like that right. I left teh boards as quietly as I possibly could, didn't even leave a thread in explenation, just left. teh result was not my fault, nor even my intent. Maybe one day I'll be back, I just don't know... They're got one mod who's never there, one who's bipolar, one who's an asshole and never should have been made a mod, let alone kept as a mod. And teh people who cared most about teh community, as a community, and not a place to flex their authority, were disregarded. Why wasn't amp modded, or byte, or agent T, or any of a handfull of others? I know I would never have been offered a space, too controversial, but why was it that when we were needed most, and when we offered our hands, we were slapped on teh wrist and told to mind our own bussiness? Why were we told that we should help out, specificaly by teh admins, and then denied any tools we needed to help as well as teh legitimacy as agents-of-teh-boards? We were elitists ranting, or spoiled children, or whatever. When all we wanted was to protect teh community we'd help create. It would be very hard to go back, knowing that teh reward for our pains, for my pains, was to be laughed at and mocked by those I was trying to help.

I mean seriously.. why teh fuck? thank you, I do try... truth is cagey prey, but my philosopher's soul urges me onwards. and yeah... mods making decisions outta jealousy and depression aren't good mods. And of course, it's only chat if other people do it, not when she does. for what it's worth, I doubt you'll be banned.
