I think its real funny how everyones trying to pass the "buck" by saying this was jasons decision, As anyone informed to the forum who has been an admin knows, jason does not frequent here often enough to make a proper decision about the place unless he has been given all the fact by everyone. What is particularly interesting, it is claimed by the admins that they didnt want this to happen, yet, as i said, knowing from experiance, if you dont want something to happen, you simply turn around, stand your ground, and say no, i dont think that IS a good idea. But non of them have done that, clearly.
Its also interesting to note that everytime i mention that particular fact, everyone in orange reads it, then does a dissapearing act, hopeing that i'l stop saying it so they can carry on pretending they did everything they could.
Spineless, Or Yesmen, or Liers?
Take your Pick.

That is indeed irregular. Looks like miscommunication is not just a corporate thing.

My replacement has accepted their promotion before the admins had the courtesy to inform me that I am being dismissed.

Jack, Deni and I are technicly still there. We only wont do any modding untill they day that the GM's involved are officially "booted"

Great way for the new admin team to get started, truly a sad state of affairs, and on a final note.
Try telling that to Jason cause I used the exact words u did. Only i think i havent been as nice in my approach

I looked these guys up on the forums,
Knight37 apparently is a mod already, ive never seen them posting, meh.
Squishie as far as i know its pretty active around here
Solus, 12k posts, and id say 99.9% of them in spam temple, awesome choice a spammer as a general mod, i have never seen this person post full stop, i guess cause i have things to talk about and not just spam the place up.
Caprila, seems active, although how long have they been a mod?
Im wondering is this more now than ever, a who you know, rather than what you know.
So i state again, that some will not be happy until this forum is a ghost town,
Again truly sad state of affairs.

Jack's getting canned... wow im surprised that TTF's not spamming every thread with gloating
Seriously though, to dismiss yall with little to no reasons, and what reaons that were given being thin, may have been wrong but its not like the people replacing yall paid him to do it or set you up or anything. Why don't yall give them a break and a chance... if they can't hack it then im sure they'll get replaced but really how would you have felt with this kind of reaction to your potential appointment, hmmm? Show some decency or you'll just start to prove that yall being sacked was a good move.
For the record I don't agree with some of the dismissals but I also don't agree with vilifying the people potentially replacing you either.

theyre not upset with the fact that theyve been dismissed, theyre upset with the disrespectful manner it has been done in.

Knight is a mod of the Chaos section so probably why posts haven't really been seen, looking through his last few posts he's active in the Newbie forum which I see as a good thing.
GeneralChaos wrote:Squishie as far as i know its pretty active around here
Not sure about Squishie as I only know things I've been told but I've heard good things so probably a good choice

Solus also mods the spam temple and misc boards (I think) and does a very good job of it, very active and also a good mod
GeneralChaos wrote:Caprila, seems active, although how long have they been a mod?
Cappy's a good mod, market mod and very up to date on what is going on in her section of the forum.
So all in all the new choices do seem good, but the issue that's being argued is the way in which the old general mods have been let go.

It matters not how they where let go, its not a community here, its a dictatorship, what is said goes, dont like it, dont come back,
After talking with a few people in PM, its clear this is all for someones personal gain, cause lets face it, if ya'll really give a crap about this community this would not have happened,
Also there are no point in mods posting in this thread as they will be all for it, as its not them being removed,
Being a mod in a spam section of the forums, whoopie do, you need a mod who is active in general and GC, not the bloody spam temple, as for chaos, does anyone actually play that game now, since its "remake" if i remember rightly when it got its relaunch, the admin at the time basically said dont like it, dont play, hey maybe you should promote them too.
So yes, continue to hammer what is left of this place into the ground, then when its only the mods and there friends left you can all have a party.

Actually I think that is what caused the greatest hurt, "how they were let go".
