What do you think? I think he did a really good job as an admin. I mean, me and Evan were corrupt, and we got our powers back. Why can't he have is? If not an admin, then maybe a power member.
Whaddya say?

Wow. I didn't know you guys even cared! But It's no use. Alex has made up his mind, and he decided not to talk about it.
But if I were to have any powers, it definitly wouldn't be admin. I understand how Alex feels over multiple admins, and I would settle just being a mod. I doubt this is going to work.

No.
You guys must be stupid or something to vote yes. Sorry Austen, but you're against just about everything that I'm for. Or at least you were until last night, and now you MIGHT understand, but doesn't matter. Me and SF and that's final.
(PS I remember getting a certain PM from someone... ah who was it... who was pissed off at Mantis for bleeping curses? Gee I can't remember... oh maybe it'll come to me later.)

That's what I say! Maybe he will follow your rules if you let him back into commission.

Everyone, it's okay. I've already cleared with Alex that i'm completely fine being a regular member. Fine, not happy, not sad.
The matter is over, and what Alex says on his forums, goes. But i'm glad you all cared.

I'm really confused here... what's the story?

Long story. Don't bother.

Let me guess... you abused your admin powers and now you are just a mod.

Actually, nope. At first I was an admin, but Alex said he wanted to be the only admin. So he moved me down to mod rank. Then after making some un-authorized, but well desired changes, he decided that things could go out of control, and he removed my powers. Oh yeah, and I was also bleeping swears.

Exactly why I voted no. Um... remember how he was an admin? Then he screwed me over then he became a mod then he deleted his account then he joined again then I forgave and forgot then he screwed me over again? [glow=red,2,300] [shadow=red,left,300]READ THIS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.[/shadow][/glow] I can explain... First I was an admin, and ALL I did was make an "Official SSBB Thread", then he removed my powers. I thought that was rather retarded to have lost my powers over something like that, and eventually I started getting real bored of this place. It made me feel like I was wasting my time. (Because I didn't have a job to do!) But later on, people were creating comics, having little battles (Snargle vs. Chaos), threads with POINTS were showing up, and I decided to join again. Alex was SO happy, he made me admin again. I was doing my job real well; putting threads where they belong, locking uneccessary threads.. I eliminated all those "MOVED: BLAHBLAH" threads for the other mods. As of then, the only thing I was doing wrong was deleting some of my own threads, but I didn't delete many. Later on, Alex said that he would like it if he could be the only admin, (I get that feeling too.) so he made me a mod. I was happy as a mod, maybe more as a mod than an admin. I made some pretty nice skins, go ahead and check out the skin credits. I also was the one who started the Chatbox, the Poll sub-board, the RPG board, and I believe I made a few more, but those got deleted by the Gleasonator. (Oh yes. He didn't like it when I started taking control like that.) When I finally got fed up with all the swearing, I decided, "Hey, I can't let everyone keep swearing like that. There's just no sense. There really shouldn't be any harm in *ing these words." I think it gives you all a bad name. But please, if you want to see my complete thoughts on swearing, go to the "swearing" thread. After a while of that, he took away my powers. Later on, I started thinking, "I see what Alex is doing. He wants there to be no restrictions against the members besides the new simple rules. He wants us to be who we are without any restrictions." So I learned to do my job well doesn't require hard work alone, but requires doing the right thing. Of course I always knew that, it's just that I didn't think about it until after I was lowered to member status. I started asking Alex about things, like, "What exactly was I doing wrong?", and stuff like that, but he refused to let me regain my honor. ;p This went on for a few days, until I decided to just stop trying to show him my point of view, and look fully on his. If he doesn't want me to be mod, even for the stupidest reasons, that's A-O-K. He's in charge, I don't care, that's the way it's going to be. Now i'm here! :D
