He wasn't. He is still working the innards of the board.

For the moment, for as long as he feel valued. If he ends up feeling like an help object to fix crap, he'd probably just say stuff it, and not pay the domain or the bandwidth or blow the site up. Let's just hope there's no bitter feelings.

Meh I'm not so sure. Probably a good thing in some ways since people will finally shut their traps about how all the mods suck, but at this stage it sorta looks like people were bumped up to admin status a little too quickly from being made mods.

Jas for example - no offense to her, she's earned the right to be a PPP mod and she's been around longer than I have, but at the same time she's only been a PPP mod for a few months (and I know for a fact PPP mods don't really do much since I'm one). Yoshiman's been around since the dawn of time so I suppose it's not such a leap but personally I think the global mods should have been the first choices to fill the admin position, not the new kids on the admin block. It's like walking into a job as a call operator and then being bumped up straight away to the board of directors - seems a bit nuts. Yeah I'm aware this happened to ShadowMan as well but from the sounds of things people weren't too happy with that at first either.

No doubt they'll do a decent job but I'm a bit worried about inexperience - every admin/mod that's had abuse thrown at them has usually got this because they're still learning... unless they're generally evil. Again sorry if I offend but I'd be a bit surprised if I got admin'd overnight as well.

Good luck and congrats though. April fools is going to be dull without both ShadowMan AND Retriever II mind you :(

I think TD may have been a little quick on the trigger by offering a free promotion to anyone that asked, but time will tell. To be honest the inexperience may actually be a bonus - it was seriously time for some new blood, fresh ideas. With the exception of Kommandant, who is also new, the global mods have been fairly quiet in recent history - Jeff in particular is far less active than he once was.

That can be forgiven I guess because he has a full time job, and I know how hard it is to squeeze in time for things like this.

I think so too, but I suppose it had to be done what with Klobber being the only "true" admin at that point. Before I made Jas and Yoshiman admins, I offered for them to wait a few days before deciding if they were really up to the position or not, but after thinking about it for a few minutes, they decided they wanted the job now. I am pleased with these choices, however, as I have talked to those two in the past moreso than anybody else currently on the forum staff. Jeff also volunteered for an admin position, and I think he would have done well... however, as stated, he isn't nearly as active as he once was.


On another note, to those of you at the U: All of the events documented here happened on November 13th, not the 14th, regardless of when this topic was made. Also, it was I who made Jas admin, not Klobber. Might want to fix up your wiki. ;P

It was actually both.
It started on the 13th and spilled into the 14th.

I don't know what to say, i'm not a poster at mfgg but i lurk every day, and i find it weird that this has happened so fast. I don't think Rii should quit because of this mod war. And delmore deserves to be unbanned, he was in a tough situation and didn't know what to do at that time, he was kinda disorientated. But starting to become angry just of that, kinda childish i think.

Depends on the time zone i guess.

I planned on leaving the PPP until "this whole thing boils over" and now they close it.
which makes it easier not to go there
Hey site people
when the ppp re-opens don't make an announcement no one will notice

I barely understood everything that happened until recently. A million damn topics and not much good information.

And all of this started because Delmore was unbanned?

I don't really see the point here, is he even returning?

He did, but not without a bunch of dupe accounts to piss off Trasher first.

Wow. Congrats to you two for becoming admins, and I can understand your situation RII.

On the other hand, even though I can see why people would demod Trasher (The name change thing was uncalled for, in my opinion), Joey was getting better about the whole cross-fourm banning thing.

Have a nice day.
