I think you may have misinterpreted the outcome.

Unrelated note: why don't you guys leave and form your own community if you don't like your treatment here? It's not as if we're forcing you to take part in the discussion boards and chat .. you can still download files, etc, etc .. if the chat/forums are unpleasant for you, be smart and get out =P You have better things to do than sit here arguing with a bunch of preteens that think they're the center of the universe .. give yourself some credit.

They don't leave the community because they like the people here. They just don't like how the place is run.

Example: I don't like my high school, but all of my friends are there. If I transfer, my friends would most likely stay there, so I'd be alone.

See, we have this thing called the internet. You're not physically moving anywhere. People can still talk to people they want to. Almost a good analogy, though.

i'd hardly call it admin wars, more like admin not-quite-war-but-thinking-of-doing-something-really -nasty...

k, maybe admin wars sounds better....

on a slightly different note, quite like the way massassi looks, always liked the non-cluttered look of the forums compared to some of the newer ones i've seen about, plus its quick to load, which i especially like beens for half the year i'm stuck to 56k.

k, its probably an admin changing it without noticing, or by accident, still they need a kick up the butt for doing it.

I heard someone say once that the world is a fine place and that it was worth fighting for....I agree with the last part.

There are no admin wars.

There is no drama.

There is something I think alot of you guys need to understand:
The very things you guys complain about most are the very things that make this community great. There are plenty of other communities where the things you guys want exist. The problem is, they all happen to suck.

However, I also realize that it's fun to complain, so please, by all means continue. But it won't change anything.

Corruption makes not one great. Makes the board interesting though. Add a little spice here and there you know.

If the admins were truly corrupt and could get away with anything, I would have banned a lot more people. For fun.

Anyway, what's actually been changed with the forum settings?

See, this is the problem. The attitude that anybody with a complaint is doing it for attention or to be annoying and couldn't possibly have a point.

Whenever there's an issue, the reactions of the admins ranges from 'not interested' to 'hostile and defensive'. The only one I've ever seen every try to resolve things is Jaiph...

Actually, it wasn't. They have their own passworded forum for messages between admins, but since it was posted here, Brian clearly wanted to see us vote RUTHERVAIN in as a new admin. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

I denominate Flexor, cause SAJN_Master chose him. Obviously he is going to choose a friend, so maybe he will have someone biased towards him.

I used to think the admins and ops where playing favourites till I realized I was just being an idiot. Thats lesson number one SAJN.

And, to tell you the truth...even if we were to nominate new admins, I could tell you one member who isn't an admin that deserves to be one. And that's serious. Well..maybe a few.
