Now for my two cents on the whole Deal:
At first, I thought it was a good idea to merge the sites. Like it was said before, having two sites with the same members just doesnt work (can we say "OTL" boys and girls? Very good, I knew you could). While we would have merged, alot of good would hae come out of it. New forums, new ideas, fresh perspectives. Then I was told if it would happen, I would not keep my moderatorship, despite that I am a mod here and used to be one there. Well, frankly, I really couldnt give a shit. I left that position for a reason. But to blacklist some of my fellow mods here, some of which deserve the position a hell of alot more than the some of the Mods on OA.com, that shit doesnt fly. Basically, Froy would have gained all the members he lost back, dropped the opie and anthony theme, and still be the HNIC. Do you see what Im getting at here folks? The welfare of the board was not the primary concern, his position of power was. By demodding me and the other mods, he can effectively eliminate any future problems he would have. At the end of the day, his need for power is surpassed only by his ignorance. So I'm sorry Froy, sorry we couldnt hand back all the members who decided to leave. Sorry we couldnt help maintain the Status Quo you tried so hard to create. Sorry we couldnt influence your power just a little bit more. But if it's any consolation, you can merge with OTL and force the OA.com forums to go there, that is if you arent already doing so.
And one more word to all our detractors: FIX YOUR OWN GODDAMN PROBLEMS BEFORE YOU WORRY ABOUT US. OA.com is falling apart at the seems, but the topic of discussion always seems to be what Sean and the rest of us are doing here at CDIH. Now do you fucking get it? Modeling yourselves after us by adding a few buttons and gizmos isnt going to fix the problems that are causing everyone to leave. How long until OA.com has a "Spoiler" button? A Glow Feature? A Color and Font quick HTML List?
Keep your fucking Sarcasm tags and Thread Icons. We'll do the real work and you folks will always be a day late and a buck short.
