This has had me thinking this afternoon and here's where I'm at....

I've came to the conclusion that I've done my time and now it's someone elses turn. I've got my reasons but the main one is that I can't be fucked with the same shit that keeps throwing its ugly head up every now and then. I'm also sick to the back teeth of oi being singled out for the same stuff I do myself yet it seems to be him that gets the brunt of it. If we were to average out the insults I've thrown out to people, I'd be worse than him hands down, yet still this crap about how he's bringing the place down keeps coming up again and again.... if I were him, I'd have chucked in the fucking towel along time ago.

I'm done with it. It's been fun but now it's over.

I also have decided I won't be taking part in any votes, consensus discussions or recommendations towards who takes the spot.... I'm sorry but to hell with getting involved in any of that too. You can all sort it out between you's.

Sorry if that comes across as really blunt and pissed off but I'm feeling really blunt and pissed off.


I now declare the gates of flood opened...

Not leaving I hope.

No. I really want you to keep doing the great job that you are doing.

I am in oi's corner and will get myself thrown out of here if it means that you two stay doing the great job that you are doing.

What are people bitching about exactly?

It's hard to be a mod because they don't get paid and people want freedom of speech without much censorship.

Overly sensitive people want heavy moderation but the problem is it runs alot of people away from the forum.

Apparently oi is the worst thing for this forum.

Given that I think, react and generally feel the same as he does about quite alot of things, then surely by this logic, I too can't be good for the place.

Summit along those lines....

Was never my intention to bring you to this point sketti. &, don't forget, you are not a 'mod'....you own the gaff.

As for blame for shit being placed unfairly...& perhaps you deserving more than you get insult-wise....well let me just say its not always how the insult is said.

Stick with it, you're doing ok.

&, I for one won't be giving oi (or any of the rest of the management team here for that matter) any more grief from now on.

I understand why you want to stop doing it, but we won't find anyone else as fair minded, and we definitely won't find anyone that has selflessly put the same amount of time into the site, so I hope you'll reconsider tomorrow.

How many times do i need to explain to you psketti...Your a girl and oioioi is a guy and most men don't wan't another man moderating them but you don't seem to understand testosterone. As long as batou can clean up personal attacks that are for real and not based on sarcasm everything will be fine. It's really nothing to get upset over.

You are both good for this place ...and do a good job...

thank you

I really don't see a problem with moderation here personally speaking. I am not sure that I have been moderated. I had a forum briefly on a few occasions that was smaller than this so moderation was hardly needed. I was also moderator on hole.com for a while and mostly I just had to remove a few people who just wanted attention. I find a heavy hand does not work since people are here by choice. I also understand if people move on and again its a size issue. I don't think you can please everybody. You were picked for the job right? Do what you do I say. People have a fairly open forum here. There is room it seems to protest a decision in open debate. I also understand you not wanting to deal with the hassle. Why don't site donations include wages for admins? Just a thought.

Nope, its yours like it or not....you own it

Come on...what wub said about 'selflessly putting in' & all that....SZ wouldn't have happened without your efforts, fact. Thats why its yours.

There were 4 originators, not just 3

i wish to echo wubs words - skets you stepped in when needed, you have been at the helm of the ship without attempting to steer it against the tide and you are loyal and inspire loyalty in others. I too hope you will reconsider but also understand if enough is enough. I could not possibly think of anyone who could take over the role you fulfill so well - but want to say thankyou to you whatever you decide.

Thread should be moved to members area btw.....just a suggestion.

But you're the best thing about this forum.

It's a yin/yang thing.



All the ill defined things that apparently make Oi the worst thing for this forum make those same things the best thing for this forum when you do them.
Because you're a girl
And some stuff and whatever.

Anyway, don't be daft.

dudes.. you know, lets take a smoke break and take our mind off all this shit for a while, when it doesn't seem such a big problem later.
