Title: An Update is seriously needed
Post by: Pyrgusfinn on July 15, 2007, 07:49:50 PM
for DarkZelda and I.  It would be greatly appriciated if someone (preferably someone who remembers who we are ) to update us on what has been happening since we have been gone.  We know Jack is missing and all that, but seriously... wow.


and to anyone who doesn't know us, can you let us know who you are?


and for anyone who has changed their username, please tell us who you were originally.  


muchlove!
Pyrgus!

I remember both of you, to a degree. I'm now a mod. I was originally Darkphantomime, so....

Jack came back for a little bit and made Gamefreak forum administrator, so everything's better now.

bgrugby and rincewind were also banned. Not sure if you really care about that though.

Not sure if you remember me. I was probably "Commodore Axilon" when you were here.

Heh, the five minutes or so they WERE here when Commodore first joined at least...

..Wow...to sum it all up...Rugby decided that he didn't like how the mods were handling things and went on a huge tirade, trolling and insulting just about every member.

Rincewind was proven to be a past member who was banned, and went around insulting everyone.

Jack put Gamefreak in charge of the forums since he wouldn't be around much anymore.

Gamefreak reshuffled the mods. I don't know if you remember me, but I'm one.

Whocares and ZV resigned modship and were replaced.

Evilslayer was removed.

I replaced Gamefreak's mod spot.

Wyndisis is the only mod who remained.

Things have become peaceful once again since the change in power, and everyone is happy.

There were also a couple minor bannings (IE: Sabata and Raiden) but those guys were nothing.

Bgrugby was mainly sick of how whocares was doing things and...

All that's in the past now.

I;m a new member compared to you and you probably dont remember me, but I was MasterKey when you used to post... in case you wanted to know...

No JQ, Zelda Veteran and myself were dragged into bgrugby's point.  

Anyways, I'm glad things happened when they did.  I think we were close to a breaking point.

Ah.  thanks a lot guys!  I do remember you pokekey (as masterkey anyways) and congrats Gamefreak.

I actually have come up with a theory as to why bgrugby has changed so significantly: jealousy. I don't mean downright being jealous of the mods, but he expected that when he got back here he'd still be a mod and that he'd take control as head-mod. When he got back, however, he quickly realized he wasn't a mod anymore, and decided that it was the fault of me, Gamefreak, and ZV (we had nothing to do with it, however. Me and Gamefreak became mods long after bgrugby was removed from the list, and I don't know about ZV), namely me. (In fact, he sent me a PM where he called me an big mean doo-doo head) After constant arguing with the mods (namely me) and insulting just about every member there was, (even the ones who sided with him) he was banned. This is only a theory, however. I may not be correct, and I might be too, but this is the only explanation I could come up with to describe how in a two year absence he quickly turned from one of the site's most respected members to one of the meanest. It's quite sad, really. If only he had handled things another way, he might have become a mod again...

Also, to expand more on the minor things:

JQ and I constantly argued, mainly over my modship (which he hated) and bgrugby. Come to think of it, we never really made up.  ;)

A few spambots, they were deleted quickly.

The theories (as per usual) was a basic battleground.


And that's just about it.

So you think basically that he started insulting everyone right off the bat? Grow up, when he got back, he was fine with everything. It's only when you started making those kinds of mistakes did Bgrugby lash out. But instead, you went on being 'insulted' by every little thing, so...

I do not want to hear anything more of Bgrugby and your 'theories'.

now sty calm j, he hasn't done anything wrong but state his outlook on what's happened
Title: Re:An Update is seriously needed
Post by: Mysterious F. on July 16, 2007, 05:02:45 PM
Exactly. Please don't be angry with me, JQ. I don't want to argue with you anymore (Where have I heard that before?  8) ) and the other members don't want anymore arguin either.

Keep the peace or lock the topic, I say.

Hi, I joined in your absence from what I can tell.
Spam is now an immeadiate warning unless you have posted under 20-ish posts.
And, Whocares, I'm pretty sure your theory was wrong. I got to know bgrugby really well and I'm pretty sure that wasn't jealousy. A lot of people weren't exactly thrilled with your modship...
Title: Re:An Update is seriously needed
Post by: Commodore Axilon on July 16, 2007, 09:28:02 PM
Well, he did lash out at people besides Whocares, as I can attest to. Whatever it was, it wasn't solely Whocares's fault.

whocares, you swore, ommiting a letter doesn't save you, i am afraid i must warn yu a second time, keep it clean or you will be gone

Also, a hole in the theory, Rugby GAVE UP his modship. SO yeah.

Well..the thing is...Rugby was...friendly with the bottle...
Title: Re:An Update is seriously needed
Post by: Mysterious F. on July 17, 2007, 10:13:29 AM
Oooh, a second one. That's not any good. I'll try to stop now.  ;)

He gave it up? I actually thought by the time he lost his modship he wasn't active anymore. Well, it was a long time ago, I don't look through old posts very often unless need be.
Title: Re:An Update is seriously needed
Post by: darkphantomime on July 17, 2007, 11:11:57 AM
Then please don't make assumptions about the past that may promote a fight. It's... not so good.
Title: Re:An Update is seriously needed
Post by: Pyrgusfinn on July 17, 2007, 03:11:07 PM
oh my... the anger.  lol.  I'm glad that is all cleared up for sure now.  
@ ZV:  HI!  a familiar face for sure.  
@ JQ: I remember you!

Thanks guys!

How about we drop the 'rugby thing, before an explosion bursts onto the Desert scene.
