[quote name="Entropy Stew"][quote name="Bill Dungsroman"][quote name="Senor Barborito"]I'm positive, now that I've illumined BDR as to the complete nature of what goes on behind the scenes around here in a broader sense, he doesn't want the full weight of the site on his shoulders either. I'd have walked a long time ago if I thought I could, too. --SB[/quote] And this site, would, effectively, no longer exist. Short of that, which I'm assuming is our goal, is a compromise. <I>Nobody</I> has to take "the full weight," we just redistribute it. The problem, as I see it, is that the prevailing personalties/motivations of our two admins are not conducive to a healthy site. This is not an admonishment of Stew or Barbie; indeed, I know the whole story here and, like my dick, it's long and tortuous, and often confuses the uninitiated. Point being, I <I>do</I> feel that at some point, a new admin should be implemented. That <I>doesn't</I> mean ES or SB are handed their Fussbett Pink Slip and shown the door. Being a mouthpiece for the site was initially considered a "bonus" for being a major developer for it. That's no longer the case; indeed, it's a fucking burden. We have some "stealth" devs working for this site, and I'm guessing they don't get half the headaches SB and ES get. Which is why an admin whose only job was to squirm in the spotlight and take the heat, with SB or ES remaining as assistant admin, would work better. Because - listen up, faggots - the mechanical stuff SB and ES do for this site are invaluable. You send those guys packing, in the complete sense of the word, and I'll see you on Planethate Thursday, hopefully. They're, and we're, better off if they stay and do all the important stuff and let some masochistic jerkoff handle the hassle. Indeed, it sounds like that's what they want. Question is, who assumes that responsibility? It's kind of a big one, as Barbie said. I'd like it to be someone most of us agree on, naturally. I'm not nominating myself, but I'm not abstaining, either. I'd just like to know what everyone honestly thinks, if you clowns can all handle that for two fucking seconds. BDR[/quote] Random list of shit: 1. I agree with Fussbett re: not modifying posts to the extent that Barb did in Creex's, and I'll make sure he doesn't do it again. A simple NWS would suffice. Anyone who thinks sticking "NWS" in the title is an egregious abuse of admin rights, however, can cram it with nuts. 2. My issue with Fussbett has existed since last spring, and it has nothing to do with whether he disagrees with me or not. You see, running this site is work. Serious work, even, when you consider how much blood is spilt in arguments about how it should be run. When I have to work with somebody on a serious project, I expect them handle themselves in at least a semi-professional manner. I will not tolerate being nailed up to a cross <font size=+1>BY SOMEONE I'M SUPPOSED TO WORK WITH BY SOMEONE WHO IS WORKING TOWARDS THE SAME ENDS THAT I AM BY SOMEONE WHO SHOULD FUCKING REALIZE THAT WE'RE NOT PERFECT BEINGS OF LIGHT AND MAKE MISTAKES BY SOMEONE WHO SHOULD REALIZE THAT WE WILL NOT ALWAYS AGREE BY SOMEONE WHO SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO COMPROMISE</font> every fucking time we do anything he doesn't like. It doesn't need to be a knifefight, and Fussbett loves to turn it into one. Furthurmore, he does it in a way which stratifies the forum into a with us/against us holy war, and this only hurts Caltrops as a whole. I've had less trouble with Barbie, even though we disagree more often, even though he's <i>fucking nuts</i>. Fussbett neither works with nor respects either of us, so he goes. Its just like I said in that Caltrops bar tripe I wrote - he'd be completely useless if he weren't so fucking useful. Love his work, hate working with him. 2a. A bunch of that might be partly/wholly my own fault for not taking it up with him in private. Or not. 3. Tony's icon was a moment of weakness (read: boredom) on both Barbie's and my own parts. No justification there, aside from hating the smell in TotSC. 4. I'd happily step aside in my role as primary admin and stick BDR in. In fact, I'd also happily transfer ownership of the domain over to him, which would mean I'd no longer have any sort of legal liability for the site! Take it! Please! You can be the bitter fag now! HAHAHAHAAHAH FREEEEEEEEEEEE! Running this place is like 10 people with a handhold on my cock running in separate directions while trying to herd cats with lemons, except more gay, irritating, and sour. 5. I have fucking immense amounts of bullshit I'm dealing with in my personal life. I also have an ulcer or bad acid reflux or an Alien fetus or something very wrong with my stomach, and all this bullshit amplifies that by 1000%. Any furthur bullshit from things I run in my spare time affects me like a rusty knife to the jugular. I was somewhat ill yesterday morning, which quickly became a pervasive throbbing sort of ill after dealing with this additional bullshit. I have very little tolerance for bullshit. It makes me physically ill. This is why I am anti-bullshit. -/ES/- THE MORE YOU KNWO[/quote]
