Very nice speech, I agree with Alex taking away your admin powers, but I disagree that he took away your mod powers..

I think that I will do the same you did to me. I can explain... First I was an admin, and ALL I did was make an "Official SSBB Thread", then he removed my powers. You were doing other screwey stuff, too. Trying to make things, as you would call them, "neater". I appreciate that you wanted to help, but you took it as far as to replace things I did with your own things, and I didn't like that. Need I mention that you also deleted all SSB threads when you made yours? Sure, with all of them everywhere it didn't look so neat... but if people were posting in them then you lost us forum activity by doing that. That's not the only reason though... we shouldn't just delete threads because we don't like them. Yeah, yeah "Gleason, you hypocrite! What about the "nergo" thread!?". Well, that was different, because there was no control and everybody was ignoring the point of the thread and only looking at the word. I tried to explain it, but everyone didn't seem to want to hear it, and the result was that everyone was a jackass (including me) so don't bring that up. 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. There's a problem when you only go to boards to mod them and you don't actually have fun going there. Why did you do that? 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. I made you an admin again because you were my friend, and I figured you could have another chance. By being an admin, you just get access to more things on the forums. It doesn't mean that you should go in and do everything a certain way. You do things the way the forum wants you to do them. You'd be great as an admin on Animal Crossing Community... but here we actually believe in civil liberties and justice. You get the feeling that you can post anything you want on these boards, and that's what people like. The only rule that I fully support is "Don't be a jackass", because that loses us members. I don't look at the posts a member makes to decide what to do with him, I look at him as a poster and a person before he comes under consideration for banment or power (their attitude and beliefs). 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.) Um... what? That was a totally insane comment. :D First of all, I'd think it'd be pretty obvious that it would make someone a little uneasy if someone else decided to just shove him aside and run everything his own way. It was never about "taking control"... it was how you used your powers. Just FYI, the poll board and RPG board are still there. The poll board was gone for a while because I didn't understand why we needed a diversity between polls and threads. Polls are just threads with an attached question that has a sufficient way of being answered. So It just doesn't make sense why we'd put polls under one board, but we'd leave the rest of the threads asking questions alone. Just because of some logo? Then you're missing the point of the thread. Anyways, a couple of people wanted it back and nobody else seemed to care so I put it back. And are you sure you started the chatbox...? You gave me the idea when you started playing with the headers and footers of the forums... but I dunno. 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. Deprives freedom of speech. I'm tired of the BS about this. Who the FUCKING hell cares? Bleep that, why don't you? OK, let's look at it from your perspective. "Dumdydumdydum... oh look. A swear word. It sure makes that person look bad." OK... so you think that you have the right to bleep it just because it may make him look bad? Why would you care if he looks bad anyways? Who are you to judge that swearing shouldn't be allowed? It's not effecting you, and it wont unless you let it. And watch. You've taking REEEEEEAL offense to the "Who the hell cares?" line, haven't you? You're letting it effect you. Stop letting it and it will cease to. It's a mental thing, not pain. 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 Well, thank you for disregarding your thoughts on it to look at it that way. If I just haven't "opened your heart" or whatever, just keep believing what you do and think of it as you said in the last paragraph. Don't talk about me not trying to understand you, though. Just because you think you're right and you see that way doesn't mean that I will. I actually do read everything you say and think about it, but nothing has been good enough for me to see it that way. I'm sure it's the same for you, so there wasn't much point in this post except for a reference as to I feel on the matter. In short, a just-so-you-know.

All the SSBB threads counted at most 5. I made it because at Serebii, (The place with over 20,000 members) has one. Because I enjoy modding. You're right about that. I'm aware that the RPG and Poll board are still there, i'm just saying that I may have had one or two more that you may not have approved of. But one things for certain, I did leave an "Awards Board" hidden on the Off-Topic category. And yes, I can assure you that I started the whole chatbox deal. As a matter of fact, I don't think you approved at first. I know exactly how you feel. Of course you can use your swear words, but mind you that at an old forum I had, many people LEFT because of that. See above. I let you guys swear, I just didn't let people read your swear. That doesn't have to do with why I was beeping curses. That's just my quick opinion, but not the reason I was beeping them. Ok, not only do I think that it makes you look bad (Which has nothing to do with why I did it), but it was the reason I lost a bunch of members. That's what's been affecting me. But as I see you don't seem to care, I'm sorry for that. Actually, not really. And see above for what's affecting me. Alex, we've been taking a lot of offense from eachother. We've been misunderstanding things, and it's all becuase of the stupid internet. Can we just drop this?

As I've said before, it's hard to translate text into the actual mood of the person. I wasn't mad at all when I wrote that and I'm not now.
Well... I doubt that Serebii got all it's 20,000 members from one thread. XD I understand what you mean, though. If we base these forums off of one with many members, more will be attracted to it. Unfortunately, you can't do that with these. They're off-topic so nobody will find them on Google unless they search for a word that appears alot here. And even if they do, they'll be like "d00d wtf is this plase?! im going 2 my yugioh forumz". Here we have to recruit people and hope that word gets around.
I remember wanting a chatbox when I first opened the forums, actually. I was frequently going to a VB one with a chatbox and I though it was the coolest thing ever. The only reason I could think of that I would disapprove, is because you actually have to sign in and I never liked that.
OK... I understand that people might leave because of it. But if they do I don't want them here in the first place. We're big boys and girls now. And if big boys and girls can't handle it they don't belong here.
