Quote:Not for nothing, but the fact that this board is still here, and there is voting here, and everyone has a say in the shit that goes down here is a testament(sp?) to the fact that we, as a group of board members, are what makes a message board work. Not the owner. Although, Sean does a great job of running the site, he also doesn't force his own views on what happens here.
Uhm.. :looks around: , I'm a little scared here... I agreed with something Kid had to say...
hudder:
A good point. And I concur. But, therein lies the key:
Quote:Of course, we all know that froy doesn't give a shit about the history of the board... but that's why I always fought him on everything. He makes piss poor decisions concerning a board that he doesn't really own.
He actually does. even if the show did...you know what...the mods would have all be gone. Show never liked the old school much. Board lives and dies on Froy's choices and the mods making themselves heard. And by users posting. That's it. If they leave, they leave. Mods had their say. Christ, I even gave him an earful. and I couldn't really care less to wat goes on there these days.
But, the only injustice here is that VG gave her time and effort to something that Froy didn't appreciate nor give respect to. As far as I'm concerned it's between them.
The last thing sean or anyone needs is to make CDIH an issue when it wasn't. When Raven was demodded it was over RFnet...everyone knew that. It was stated. CDIH wasn't in this case...and i think it would be best for all involved to keep this shit seperate. If you fuckin cared, you should have posted there. Period. It's amazing how many people get all in a huff, especially those who don't have anyhing to do or care on what goes on there.

I somehow get the feeling that this is just the start. And also that her demodding had something to do with her being a member who posts constantly at this site. For those other Moderators that post consistently here, I would watch your backs.
Quote:If that is the case, it is quite lame. VG never came here and bad-mouthed oa.com.
Well... I have bad-mouthed oa.com here & there.... and to Froy's face for that matter... it obviously doesn't matter to the King Turd.
It wouldn't suprise me if he has alterior motives for demodding VG....
Boo if only oa.com was france and it was 1789.
Quote:moderating a messageboard is a thankless task, and the only ones who really have a grip on what that means are people like Gonzo, Slash, Sean, Faceman, VG, Buttmunch, magoo, Howie, etc.
Well said, well said! You took the words right out of my mouth. When i came back to the OA Board it felt like trying to get in the pants of a chick that had just been brutally gang raped, just didn't have the same feel! Well now thanks to Sean, we all have a place that resembles the old board back before syndication. Here's piss in yer eye..lol!!

Why should we expect you to do anything but sit on the fence in this matter?
You know as well as I do, that I can not post there. I'm not saying that CDIH was a factor in VG's being demodded, only that we should show support for her. You can tell me that froy cares about that board until you're blue in the face, and I still won't believe you. It's a money-making venture to him, always has been. Maybe I hold a grudge for being asked to donate money towards a falsely represented server bill. Or, maybe it's, as I stated, that I still hold the old board, when it was fun, as fond memory.
Yeah...the prob is that you are making VG's issue your issue b/c you don't like Froy. I don't think that is a noble cause to follow. Sorry. And I question your own reasons with froy as well. You'va always had a bug up your ass, long before the so-called decline. Personal issues. whatever. but rally the troops for VG's cause...sorry, you are the last person to rally anything. i question your motives. hold your grudges, but hold this flag waving bullshit as well.
i think anyone who turned their back to the oa board should stay out of it. show support...sure thing. i don't disagree. but you make it an cdih/oa issue, you are only doing it for your won grudges, nobody elses

I dont post there anymore because none of the old douchebags are around to goof off with. It just isn't like it was a year and a half ago.
dude, you question my appreciation for vg? while you sit here and as much as defend froy, to her detriment?
what the fuck is wrong with you? I had my arguments with froy, but I always had the board (as I saw it) in mind. The amount of original people that are still posting there is only back-up to my claim. That board was a great place once, but from where I sit, he ruined it single-handedly.
I say, it is you who has no right to comment on the matter, I doubt that you've ever stood up for anything or anyone that you believe in.
DO NOT EVER question my appreciation for VG. She has always made me laugh. I have always respected her ability to stay away from the petty shit, and just enjoy the board. Sorry that I see this as an opportunity for people to stand up for themselves, and support a member of that board. Rather than sitting by idly as froy makes yet another horrible mistake.
I know that nothing will change, and froy won't re-mod VG, not that she would accept. The point is to voice the disapproval of his actions, on her behalf.
oh, and gooch...

It's not a cdih/oa.com issue at all. It's a message board issue that absolutely has something to do with everyone here, and everyone there. The majority of us knew VG as a mod there, before we knew her as a member here.
I don't particulary care what happens on oa.com. However, I do care that froy has demodded VG. Again, people could be like you and just sit by doing out best not to upset dear froy. Or, those who are still members there could make there voices heard.

Dude, you are a complete moron if you don't get that these very posts I put is something i stand up and believe in. I think you can't recognize this very clear fact b/c you can't appreciate that someone disagrees with you.

Then post yourself, you coward. And who questioned your appreciation of her? I'm questioning your need to form a protest without you yourself doing anything. I find it amzing that you tell me I stand up fo nothing when all you do is suggest people protest, but not you, you can't. Fuckin hilariously contradictory.

hey guys, i have an idea. lets all fight about it!
You two really don't like each other.
DON'T MAKE ME MOVE THIS THREAD TO FIGHT CLUB! :angry:
what could I do? you know as well as I, that if I were to re-join I would be instaneously banned or deleted. Now, stop trying to turn this into an argument b/w us, it's not about us.
My balls are itchy. I'm scratching them with a skewer right now
my point is: and nobody has to agree with me...
that making cdih go over, and making it an issue only makes it a negative situation. i don't give two shits if it gives froy a headache or not. send his webcam pics to his parents for all i care. but, i merely bring up the point the making cdih/oa issue is purely subjective conjecture...and twists the issue.

Kid, if you want to post, just do so under the 500 alternative names that exist through various people on this board.
You want to say your piece that's cool. You never "left" you were booted, so it's reasonable to want to chime in.
I'm sure someone here will hand one over if you want it instead of posting under someone's regular name.

I could not agree more. That place has turned to shit!! Apart from a post here and there ( mostly in VG's chat thread and fucking with teh half breed) I tend to stay away now. What I really can't belive is that king dickhead replaced her the same day he got rid of her!! I have NO respect for that owner anymore.:fuckoff:
