She basically didn't like that Chaz got kicked out and left. She still reads the forms occasionally and does a few posts, but it's pretty rare.

Yeah... I do miss her, admittedly. And that's all you're getting out of me.

I wonder if she'd come back if I drew that picture I had in mind? The one with Harley Quinn, Shego and Wanda Firebaugh in a... risqué situation.

In the meantime...

the sad part?

going away for so long that when you come back no one ever asked where you were, as if you've been here the whole time, lurking, and then someone who doesn't really know who you are assures others you are still here, just lurking, when really you've been in a Aperture Science Computer Aided Enrichment Center for what feels like hundreds of years. No, I guess the really sad part is thinking the rest of this post was a sad part.[DOUBLEPOST=1344513512][/DOUBLEPOST]and while I'm hijacking this thread to moan about chaz ruining guest posting for the rest of us, wtf is this "spy" thing?

The IRC folk were always a different kinda group, anyway, weren't they? Kind of a clique that associated with each other and their own inside joke more so than the forums?

Chaz is taking an involuntary permanent vacation from the forums.

Shego hasn't been back since leaving a cryptic message regarding important things in her personal life.

What's hilarious is that they were so very sure that Silent Bob was Mathias. Yet Dave confirmed, reconfirmed, and re-re-re-REconfirmed that it was not him. And when they didn't believe him, they had themselves an exodus.

...that said, it the Bobster did turn out to be Mathias, I wouldn't be too surprised. Not that I'm going to start a witch hunt on the poor guy like the IRC people did. Lord knows we could use some new blood in here sometimes.

Ok, not coming back. Two things-

1. Didn't have anything to do with Mathias being banned. But hey, that's obviously going to keep being the narrative by those same people who convinced me this place isn't for me anymore. Congrats, QP, you got your way. That's exactly the drama I decided i had no time for and wasn't interested in experiencing every time I posted.

2. Nick, I left before Bob even showed up. Just ask Dave. I never even saw the dude.

Anyways, most of you were pretty cool.


#115

ThatNickGuy

Sorry, man. I don't mean to lump you in there with the rest of the IRC people. I'm just going by what someone else told me. And the only thing that had to do with Mathias being banned was Mathias. He brought that upon himself after being given multiple chances. I don't know where you read otherwise, because that's how I've always seen it and I'm pretty sure most others see it that way, too.


#116

Hailey Knight

Hailey Knight

And the only thing that had to do with Mathias being banned was Mathias.
This is correct. I just think it's funny that once he was gone, so were his most vocal opponents.

As for Bob, I don't believe he's Mathias; I was joking around. But I do think if they ever met up, they'd get along great.

Bob cannot possibly be in any way, shape or form, be Mathias. Bob has said and done things that would make Mathias' head explode in a partisan fury, and vice versa. It's just a logical impossibility.

No self respecting Pens fan would, even in jest, admit to anything less than a seething hatred of the Flyers. :p

The defense rests. :)

1. Krisken : sad to see you gone. I do completely understand your reasoning, though.
2. I don't give a flying fuck's ass if Silent Bob is Matthias or not. If he is, he's had some pretty good crash course therapy and is once again the smart and intelligent guy was 90% of the rest of the time, but has suddenyl changed opinions on a number of things and has changed a number of preferences. Seems unlikely. If he's not, we need to clone him a few times so we have more new and interesting blood. People. I meant people. Yes. *cough*
3. Ravenpoe : there are a number of posters here who make/made it a habit to troll other users and try to get them to blow up. Almost everyone has some buttons to push. I seriously considered leaving (again) because of :tina: , I can understand Krisken and some others who have the same feeling. The problem is that leaving because you're upset means the trolls succeed. A forum that chases away people who dare show feelings or who dare voice an opinion and leaves the trolls will soon be a very unpleasant place.
4. Tress : you realize Orkin uses owls to catch rodents, right? Calling Orkin on me will just get me a better job :p

True, true. The mods made sure Mathias got banned for repeatedly breaking the forum rules.

That is what you meant, QP?

Isn't it?
No, because colored text is for squares.

Like Nick said, we know what happened. It's kind of sad that an empty, silly comment like mine could push Krisken away again. RavenPoe put it well--if things here are getting you upset, leave. Or take a break at the very least. What goes on here should not be stressing you out. I honestly was on the verge of taking a break after a certain recent thread because of my disgust over certain people here, but I got over it. That's what a person should do: get over it or stay off this thing until you can get over it. What you don't do is get pissy because the place isn't suiting serious business. It's never been that kind of place. Hell, that was part of Mathias's problem. He could give a joke, but couldn't take one, and got either whiny or pissed when someone gave him what he was giving.

Still wish he was around, but in case people couldn't tell by the first page, this thread was a joke.

Like Nick said, we know what happened. It's kind of sad that an empty, silly comment like mine could push Krisken away again. RavenPoe put it well--if things here are getting you upset, leave. Or take a break at the very least. What goes on here should not be stressing you out. I honestly was on the verge of taking a break after a certain recent thread because of my disgust over certain people here, but I got over it. That's what a person should do: get over it or stay off this thing until you can get over it. What you don't do is get pissy because the place isn't suiting serious business. It's never been that kind of place. Hell, that was part of Mathias's problem. He could give a joke, but couldn't take one, and got either whiny or pissed when someone gave him what he was giving.

Still wish he was around, but in case people couldn't tell by the first page, this thread was a joke.

It was locked down to prevent even more ack-ack. The person in question saw something fishy and looked it up. It wasn't really stalking as everything was public domain.

Jesus Christ, seriously? The guy posted pictures of himself. I'm pretty sure Chaz had before and didn't look remotely like that.

I mean, are we just going to have a witch hunt for every new person that joins? Clearly, Squidleybits needs to be investigated to prove that she's not Chaz. Or Gilgamesh.

For the record, this is my stance.

I locked the goodbye thread because by-and-large, we don't allow goodbye threads, especially ones that, as Seej said, would only devolve into a witch hunt.

For the record, don't turn this into a witch hunt. Dave says that the person in question didn't do it maliciously and probably didn't expect this outcome. And Dave is the only other person who knows who did it.

Since people are able to talk freely in a thread that hasn't been squashed mere minutes after its creation, here's what I feel.

Same shit, different day. We've all been here before... and we'll be here again... my stance isn't likely to change.

IMO, we're a community that isn't hard to get involved with, despite the emo-ness some posters may have due to RL issues and stress... however we are saints compared to other forums I post on. People integrate with us as much as they don't.... just like real life and jobs... sometimes it simply doesn't pan out.. Don't make a big deal about it and take things (and life!) with a grain of salt. If someone feels alienated by this little.... good luck in life my friend.

There are far more important issues around here than losing a fluffer with not even a few hundred posts compared to say the exodus of several posters of longtime standing on these forums such as Shegs, Adam, Chaz, Krispie and whatnot. Say what you will about specific people and all but it's far more difficult to swallow the losses of these type of posters who felt alienated by poor moderation and elaboration on staff actions than say.... a poster with a few hundred posts who has a history of issues with other posters with his short tenure.

To be frank, I'm more annoyed at people going "WAAAH, another noob publically cried about something no one really gives a shit about" then there ever was, "Why the FUCK did Adam stop posting here?"

That... in my honest opinion isn't fair.

Thus why, I REALLY don't give a shit IMO.

Okay, folks. It happened again. We've lost another one. We need to deal with it and move on.

But we should learn something from it - about limiting the forum drama to the forum, to give new members the benefit of the doubt that they're not a banned member, and to bring major concerns to the mods privately - not taking things into your own hands as it only makes it far worse.

The moderators here aren't doing a bad job. They do step in when necessary, but they seem to at least give us the chance to work it out on our own, like mature adults should. I personally would hate to lose that kind of freedom under a moderation crackdown. Hell, I got into it with Charlie in the Taylor Swift thread, but we never let it get out of hand. The banter, to me, was actually kind of fun. No need for moderator intervention, just restraint on both sides. That's all we need to avoid virtually all our drama.

One of our major goals is to grow, to bring in new blood with new personalities. If we look at every new member with a hint of suspicion, we won't achieve that. We'll have more incidents, more people leaving. We'll grow stagnant, and wither.

And eventually, this community will die out.

We have been through to much - seen more Kurtzpocolypses than many people here can remember, but we kept coming back, kept fighting to survive because this community meant something, was truly worth something. That fight for survival was worth every major relocation, every rebuilding effort. When we tracked down old members, it was to tell them that we did not go quietly after a forum nuke...and they would come back. We cannot delve into the private lives of members unless they invite us to, that they decide to share that with us.

The last thing that should happen, the thing that should never happen, especially after what we've done to preserve this community, is to bring it down by our own hands.

So give those new people the benefit of the doubt, give them a chance. If problems arise or old history comes calling, we should deal with it then, not raise the pitchforks and torches with no real reason to.

Well, that's about all I have to say on the matter.


#286

GasBandit

People need to get back to talking about stuff instead of talking about each other. It's the very nature of this medium that people come and go and probably go more than come. But the more we make this board about each other, the harder it is for new people to pierce the scaly, hard shell of the clique and join in, and the more drama left by the exit wound when somebody leaves. I know, it's great you have a kid and want to post pictures of it in the pictures thread and yadda yadda yadda that's fine. But just remember the more you personalize and make the board about its users, the more you guarantee drama and isolationism. So keep it under control, and make an effort to do more than just that.

Reminds me of the saying - Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Shallow minds discuss people. Step up your game and stop making posts about eachother and make more posts about things that the others, and new people, can also post about.

Even more than that. We need to combat passivity. I'm sometimes just as guilty of this as anyone, but we need to stop just coming here to see what other people are saying and respond to it. We need to break out of our subscribed thread rut. We need things to talk about that isn't just another forumite. We need to make it so that it's more interesting, more automatic, to click "what's new" than "watched threads."

Everybody go out into the world wide interweb and find something you think is interesting. Bring it back. Start a thread about it and link to it in your post, and go on to describe what you think about that thing. I don't care what it is. Comics. Politics. Cosplay. Video games. Whatever. When you find something you think is interesting, bring it back here and post about it. I guarantee you, if we make it a habit to post about and discuss interesting things, instead of each other, we'll get more new people and lose less old people.

People need to get back to talking about stuff instead of talking about each other. It's the very nature of this medium that people come and go and probably go more than come. But the more we make this board about each other, the harder it is for new people to pierce the scaly, hard shell of the clique and join in, and the more drama left by the exit wound when somebody leaves. I know, it's great you have a kid and want to post pictures of it in the pictures thread and yadda yadda yadda that's fine. But just remember the more you personalize and make the board about its users, the more you guarantee drama and isolationism. So keep it under control, and make an effort to do more than just that.
