--- Quote from: N-Forza on April 13, 2010, 10:22:58 AM ---So basically, from my point of view, a lot of people need to chill out. Just forget the April Fools fiasco, be more open about opinions, stop acting so uptight, and don't make accusations without evidence. Not taking things for granted is important too, but it's poor form to go fishing for compliments too, unless it's an extreme case like this.

Winner post of the thread so far. Not because I am praising Forza.

But because I have been saying the same opinion around on forum, PM, irc (whether it be #sm , #danmakufu or #meido). Ever wondered why Keine isn't in #meido since a few days? Because of no appreciation and uptight behaviour. Humans value/react to something when they lost it or about to lose it. And the april fools joke had proven it perfectly. Think about it for a moment.

Momiji:
Yay!! I'm glad you decided to post. ^.^

(You know my opinion. =] )

Oh for the love of-

I will preface this with two remarks: one, I usually don't find practical jokes funny, and two, I missed the whole "fiasco" (stupid lack of interwebs grrr).

OK. TSO, I've said it before and I'll say it again: I've seen bad admins, I've seen good ones. I know what can happen when you get a jackass in authority. I know what kind of forum that degenerates into. I also know that a good admin is often all that stands between a forum and utter crap. And I say this, and I wholeheartedly believe what I say:

MotK is a good place. Even with all the forum drama, the occasional flame war and the odd idiotic member (banned and not), MotK is still one of the few forums on the internet I've found that I've stuck with for more than, say, a month. I've been here over a year now, and I don't see myself going anywhere soon.

Running a forum is no easy task. You need to pour heart and soul (and cash) into it in order to get returns. And it can hurt when people don't appreciate it - but I tell you, here and now, that I do.

I'm not sure any of this makes you want to remain head admin for the forum. But even if all it does is bring a smile to your face, it was worth the time.

I... Don't know much about this situation honestly. Everything I know, I've heard from other people, thanks to missing the April Fools fiasco, which means I may be missing large pieces of the puzzle. Truthfully? I don't know you, or really, much of anyone, except just a couple of people. Despite that... I still can't stand to see you, even someone I don't know, like this. If you really feel like these things have been happening, then try to talk with those who haven't done it themselves. They might not want to respond to being called to it, I of all people know how difficult it can be to start one of these conversations.

Those who continue to be unreasonable, despite everything? Those who just insult you for no apparent reason? They aren't worth your time. They may well be just the kind of jerks who like to take advantage of someone being in a fragile or overwhelmed emotional state, and try to make it worse. I'm not saying that they are, as such a judgment may still be hasty even for someone who knows them. However, with all the people here that are trying to help? I don't think you're nearly as hated as you seem to believe. As people have said, it's probably just an incredibly vocal minority. Funny how those seem to apply in so many things.

Anyway, I dunno if my post is welcome, or really says anything worthwhile. But I just wanted to let you know that even someone like me, a stranger, is here to try to help. Whether or not I ever succeed is a different story, but... Yeah, I should just stop talking now.

Sapz:
I was originally going to make a long-ass drawn out explanation about what I felt happened, but given how the points I was going to make have already been made I'll keep it simple. I fell for it completely; this was primarily due to not knowing you well enough to be an accurate judge of whether or not you'd actually do something like that. I apologise for doubting you. I'd like for you to stay - you've been the driving force behind what is by far my favourite forum, and I owe you a pretty huge 'thank you' for that. I can't really advise you on which you should pick, but I'm confident you'll be welcomed back with open arms should you choose to return.
