I honestly wish you could realize how obnoxious you're being here
You know what's really obnoxious to me?
People coming up with the same 3 stupid excuses that were already rebutted 1000 times 4 days previously to justify hemming and hawing and pussy footing around.
That's pretty fucking obnoxious.
a_skeleton_03 has been too busy, especially the first couple of days, responding to requests and setting up the new forums to do the promoting.
The reality is you're myopic to the point of willful ignorance. People attacked a_skeleton_03 and I from the get go on this, despite it being the
obvious best possible solution, particularly after Monday when things began to solidify in our favor so dramatically. Now people continue to attack us, and frankly, a_skeleton_03 has been way too fucking busy setting up the community to do the recruiting I did, especially in those first few days. Further, and I want to make this perfectly clear: He never asked me to recruit for the site. I never offered to do it for him. We have exchanged exactly
0private messages about this. Every contact we've had on this has been 100% in the public eye. He has not one time asked me to promote the site. Nothing. There is zero actual collusion here. I took it upon myself to drive the community to the new site because
I give a shit about this community.
So, I and others have responded in kind to the attacks thrown our way. You may think I should just sit back while the bitter clingers and butthurts throw their two minutes of hate at me in their impotent rage over the changes and take it, but I don't think I should. I don't think I should have to sit by while people question a_skeleton_03 and my own motives and intentions, and then use that to promote the idea that everyone should stay here, on aging hardware, in a community owned by a disinterested third party. Those people have, whether they realize it or not, the community's
worst interests at heart.
The fact that you think threatening to ban me from over here
1. Is even remotely a threat at this point
and
2. Wouldn't just be more fuel for the fire of what we're saying about how, once McGregor's company starts getting involved over here, a move as smooth and trouble free as we've had would be impossible because the admins would be able to ban and word filter and shut down any attempt to move to a new community
Is just fucking sad at this point.
There's nothing to ban over here. There's no over here left to ban someone from.
My plan has been from about Tuesday to stop coming here once it seems like we've gotten all but the most bitter clingers.
We reached that point in the past 24 hours or so. The traffic has come to a near halt in all but this thread. The only people posting are basically the one or two bitter clingers, most of whom have already admitted they've created an account at the new site, or that they were planning on quitting anyway and this is their excuse to do so.
But my motto on this shit was simple: As few men (and women, and men pretending to be women) left behind as possible. And I wasn't going to leave the battlefield till the war was well and truly won.
And I think this is a good post to end on, so I'm signing out and deleting the bookmark now.
See my sig if you still haven't figured out where the community has moved to yet.
