Time to set some things straight around here.

The point of this site is not to be vindictive and haughty. If you are unnecessarily cruel or spiteful, don't expect to be embraced with open arms.

Rolken runs TSC. That is me. It is not SadisticMystic. I pay the rent, I do the vast majority of the work, yadda yadda. I honestly wouldn't care less about who knows it, except that there is a certain demeanor that I feel the site ought to project: one of openness, friendliness and helpfulness. People do not see that demeanor when dealing with Rusty (as I have been told repeatedly). He told me on IM essentially that he does not care to be nice to people, and recently he has proved it, and so now he no longer admins the community (though still the competition). I don't like having to do things like that, but the contrary isn't working anymore.

I think the concepts of ranks and respect based on how long you've been around the community is a stupid one, and so I will not take it into account. A "noob" who acts more intelligent than someone who's been around since the beginning will be more respected (by me, at least). Along that tangent, moderatorship is not a reward. It is a responsibility to the community to keep things running smoothly. Being a mod does not mean someone is intrinsically better or cooler (or even that I like them more), just that they happen to be the best at the job.

So... yeah. Have a nice day. :P

What fun is it being cool if you can't wear a sombrero?

You have to pay to maintain a website that is actually a website, and not some 1 page site that you are given free. Also, Invision Power Board requires a fee, if I remember correctly.


I HOPE YOU DO

The vast majority of the above explains why I'll never be a mod. No, not the rent issue :P

I have no problems with keeping my cool (something Rusty seems to have had trouble with, especially with certain users who everyone knows and therefore need not be mentioned), just that I doubt I could handle the responsibility.

At least the issue's now dead and buried, and we can get on with what this site was made for: Sonic gaming! :D

I'm not banned...I'm still here.  Only difference is a reduced amount of arbitrary power, and for a site of this size (under 250 users) dual admins probably aren't a good idea anyway.

Yeah. It's more like, he deals with times, I deal with the community.

You're not really one to talk, GH.
