*sigh* Well , at least it was shut down and not deleted. I have a feeling that its teh only thing left of me over there. Its sad that people let others they dont even KNOW get to them that bad. Well, all I can say is I did create some pretty damn cool threads over there dint I? And every one of them has been closed or deleted. Well, at least we have this UBERLY cool place to post now. Theres still a few more people that I wish would find their way here from teh AS boards, but Im sure theyll find teh lighthouse in teh storm soon enough. Ill not cry, rant and rave or call names. But I will say, after all that has happened, in teh end, it makes me a better person. Saddy, so so toooootaly rock, woman! I'm working on that. I DID get Red to join though. So THAT's always a good'en! ;D

This is how I see it. When teh boards were new, It was teh wild west. teh mods were like ghosts apearing magicaly here and there. teh rugrats were spamming and flaming their little hearts out, so some cool folks gravitated toward each other on certain threads. We didnt get flamed much bcause we were a tight unit. Then came a new directive. No chatting! This is not a chat board they said, so our threads got deleted one by one. we faught back by pleading and arguing with some succes, but teh die had been cast, teh boards were never teh same. They told us to stay on topic and we tried, but shit, you gatta be kiddin! I cant do that! That kind of thing just kills spontanaity and dries all teh good times up like a hot wind. (And it did)........... I knew then that teh mods and admins enjoyed chatting at will while deleting all other chatty threads. To me thats hypocracy, so I bowed out for a long time, finaly to return only to have some of my favorite posts deleted one after another. I saw certain mods breaking their own rules left and right. I also saw something I liked even less. Erris sower of discord resides hear. That thread was as chatty as they get! I hate to say it, but there are poeple on this board that partook in that thread with zeal! I saw threads being turned in and deleted for practicaly nothing. I was afraid that one of NUs nazis was gonna turn my thread in too, but thankfuly NU didnt want it gone. (Im sure they tried). I know some of you are upset at teh mods dumping you like this so I have a little lesson for you. (Do You know what cops do with snitches when they have no more use for them? They turn their backs on them, and leave them to be dealt with by teh poeple they told on. Thats how teh game works. They dont respect informants because they know deep down that informing on poeple just plain sucks unless its something like rape or murder. teh very boards you were trying to clean up, you were ruining at teh same time). This seems like a free minded forum, so I hope I can call it like I see it here. I mean no offence by this to anyone. Live and let live, and remember: Nobody likes a tattle tale! [teh Brady bunch] PS. I hold no grudges to anyone on these boards, or on ASMB. Ill gladly join in a constructive effort for more freedom on teh AS boards, but I wont do it to spite anyone. PEACE! ::)Dont touch that botton!!

i rarely ever posted in teh eris thread and when i did it was something completely over teh top like something blatantly racist or someone just verbally attacking someone else. it had to be something very extreme. although i did post in many a thread trying to warn people when they were breaking teh rules. they were either doing so outta ignorance of teh rules or just being flat out jerks. being chatty in a decent thread is one thing but when i would see threads of "hey what's up?" and one word nonsense it irritated teh hell outta me and i would voice my distaste for teh their blatant rule breaking. now here on teh other hand there aren't too many rules. i posted them in teh just fuckin read it thread. basically respect other posters and no racist nonsense. that's pretty much it. i don't wanna censor anyone. everyone has a right to say what they wanna say. i want this to be a fun place for people to come and hang out. i don't wanna be a dictator spending all of my time deleting shit just because it may be something that i happen to disagree with. i can disagree with something and not take it personally, within reason of course. i mean if someone just flat out verbally attacks someone else or spouts off something just totally off teh deep end i will step in, but otherwise, post and be merry.

hmmm, Brakster, that's an interesting stance, but I'm not sure I buy that Nu turned on anyone based on their ever trying to help... I think she got pissed because she saw that it was pretty much unanimous among teh regulars (many of whom happened to be participants in teh Eris threads, because they gave a shit) that she was being a bitchwhore, so she got haughtier and haughtier in attempt to self-justify, saw that wasn't getting her any more respect, and finally lashed out. She took a lot of it out on Doose of the Pink Panties & Odin because they've (I think collectively, in a way) taken her place as favorite, and no other reason. She's being supremely childish... she knows her actions were vindictive and uncalled for, because at base she's a logical and intelligent person, but she'll never admit she was wrong and lose face. Now, all that's fine & dandy if she lets it go at that, but if she doesn't tone down teh gestapo act, I seriously doubt teh admins will continue to stand behind her... in fact, with recent developments, I suspect (and hope) they are already a bit wary, 'cause really, it'd take some serious assencaphaly to not have smelled teh RTC by now...

To start, I wasn't around from teh beginning, but I was old enough. I didin't much mind teh rules against chatting, it was their bandwidth after all. But it did annoy me that teh mods were chatty while telling us not to be. (luuv spamming my thread in rants talking about his toes....) What's good for teh goose n' teh gander, after all... teh whole concept of teh eris thread, from where I sat, was teh idea that mods and posters weren't different, that we all wanted smoothly functioning boards and we were supposed to alert them to stuff that was out and out bad. I didn't see it as tattle taleing because, let's be frank, teh only real division between mods and posters was one of title. (until luuv and nu went berserk and rahn was 'promoted') I also don't think Nu went nuts because we helped, but because we dared to remind her that 1) she and luuv were once normal posters 2) that when she went insane we all knew it, and no longer liked her best

I think swimraven is coming down on Nu's side, rahn is taking teh corporate line, and luuv is nu's lapdog as always. Swimraven never grokked teh gestalt of teh boards, not even partially. And she compounded teh trend of anti-board-vibes by wanting teh mods to stop talking to posters. Because, that's what we need, a place with faceless authority figures... teh whole concept of 'secret mod identities' was ridiculous. Both because they were easy to figure out and because nobody on earth becomes a different person when they get a nice shiny new title. If you're not capable of acting objectively, having a different name won't make you better. I think SwimRaven likes what teh mods are doing, teh whole-of-recent-events points to that... she likes that they're becoming impersonal, freakin' Agents. She likes that Nu is no longer friendly with any posters, she likes that nu and luuv and rahn take their jobs seriously. Pardon me, their hobbies, one is paid for a job.

I know they got yelled at for just talking to me after I left teh boards, and unless and until they decide to quit, I don't wanna see them thrown out. Again, no offense, I just felt I had to edit this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- So apparently RTC is a smell that must permiate teh walls of Williams Street or they would have smelled it by now. *shrugs* Theres a big storm a brewin is all I can say.

I'm just suggesting moderation, on all parties.
Things are outta our hands, and little can be done either way to change that.
I know it's being apathetic, and for that I'm sorry, but if things are wrong, others are certain to see it and make some noise over it.
Just gotta roll with teh punches and hope for teh best...

Just because someone has authority doesn't mean they have all teh answers. Doesn't mean they're gonna make things okay. Apathy is teh one sure path to mediocrity. Someone has to care. I'm sorry it isn't you.

Tis good to see ye my captain!!!
And it seems that smnrtc and her crew have won. At about 6:45 EST time, I resigned my position as an AS mod. I also banned all of my other screen names. I have officially severed all ties to AS. I still l-word all of you, but I just can't take it anymore. So I'm done with it. But you'll see me around here a lot more.
That's all I hafta say on teh subject for now.

Then we flood em with E mails of an exceptionaly good quality that makes them stop and think. teh time is right because two good mods have just resigned! This gets my blood pumping, and its a perfect strategic opening to strike. Doose of the Pink Panties, We need e mail addys! Arghhh!
