gooch, VG was the last of a dying breed in my opinion. The last of the people that actually gave a shit about that board. And just like so many before her, she was driven off by a stupid decision made by froy.
The only reasons I even give a shit are:
1. I once loved posting on that board, before froy fucked the whole thing up with bad decisions and over-involving himself.
2. VG is a good person, and this has hurt her.
I know that people will say that there is some merit to what froy says about her inactivity. But, I would reply that there was no reason to demod her. There are plenty of reasons to keep her, her being a major part of the history is one of them. 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.
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.
