There's gonna be elections.

If you want him as a mod over there, nominate him and vote for him when that process begins.

He just shouldn't have the near absolute dictatorial authority he's had in the past. That is literally my only concern.

a_skeleton_03 offered to make me a mod, I declined and said I'd only be made a moderator by popular vote.

If I had near absolute dictatorial authority on RR under Draegan, my move to have moderator elections earlier this year would have been successful. One of the first things I thought of when I heard about the change in ownership was, "Yes! Now I can have moderator elections!"

In the interests of having the message come from someone who isn't being so goddamn obnoxious about it.

The MMORPG forums are a cesspool of 'post something that hurts someones feelings and get banned'. The minute someone from MMORPG actually looks at this site and sees the language used here, or the multiple threads full of copyrighted pornography, this forum could just instantly vanish without the slightest bit of warning. And quite frankly, even if you don't want anything to do with the rere who owns rererolled, you should at least leave this site just to give Draegan the middle finger he so richly deserves.

All that is fine, but you still pretty much had fiat control of things for a long time and just because Draegan self interestedly overruled you on occassion doesn't change that fact.

I'll probably vote for you if you run over there. I don't think in broad strokes you're a bad person or a bad moderator.

I do think you've dropped the ball on this, and many other issues, over the past several years.

But we all make mistakes.

Its not like you're a robot or something.

And having someone above you that gives a shit will go a long way towards helping your outlook as well, I'm sure.

The problem was top down from Draegan though, I will agree with that. His attitude tainted others down the line.

Hello all,

This is Craig McGregor - one of the owners of MMORPG.com.

We purchased this site a few months back from the previous owners and honestly it was not represented to us very accurately. There was no mention that it was anything other than a "mmo community forum that was centered around an old EQ guild." Had I known what I know now - I never would have purchased it. Our intentions were just to get the page views in our network so that we could include rerolled.org in our banner ad campaigns.

Note however that we have zero intentions of changing the site, the NSFW areas or the moderation rules. This site will not be related to MMORPG.com in any way other than it is owned by the same company.

However, if the community flees to another domain/site then we will probably attempt to salvage the site by making it something else. Again, this would only be if traffic falls to near nothing.

I heard mention from some in here that they would have purchased the site had they known it was for sale. We would probably sell the site now at a loss if anyone is interested in that.

Thank you,

Thank you for your response Mr McGregor.

I point you towards this post, made by me, in another thread:

Draegan sold you a false bill of goods, Craig McGregor.

He knew full well this community would not stand for having it being sold to someone else with no warning and no input.

This community is older than MMORPG.com, with a more storied history.

We may be few, but we are die hard and we will not be bought and sold for your profits.

You will do nothing but lose money on this and here's the thing I want to make especially clear for you and your lawyers

Draegan had every reason to know this was the case before he sold it.

God damn you people are stupid. I'd say that actually being Craig McGregor is about as likely as Draegan registering on rererolled to apologize for selling the site.

this hasnt been an EQ guild in 13 years. we do have a few subforums for gaming, but thats just a small portion of this small community. you should really not have taken the seller at his word. we dont like outsiders in charge of our community so we have left.

Craig,

Thanks for posting. It should be clear from this thread not everyone in the community here is on the same page. I'm glad to hear you have no intentions of changing the forums and are content to let them be. I hope enough people stay so that continues to make sense. I'm going to stay and cross my fingers.

I have set up the other forum and would love to talk about the domain name and working with one of your admins for a sql dump of the database that we will just import. We would not require the server or anything else. We can discuss the price that way.

Well, offer to buy the site at a loss and we'll find out. I'll happily donate towards the acquisition if we can consolidate both sites and keep all members/content...

Do admins have to make 5 posts before they can see screenshots? Because I'm expect the hammer to fall as soon as he gets a good look in there.
