Title: So it seems I've been ousted
Post by: darkphantomime on June 22, 2009, 11:22:41 PM
I'm no longer a mod.

I noticed the other day that the Gerudo Fortress was invisible to me. But apparently you all were holding a little vote to see if I should be removed. That's perfectly fine. Just fine.

Well, I'll have you know my own personal view: Things have gone downhill since Tacheon's gotten power. It seems I couldn't go half a day without offending him on some certain matter.

You think you're the best admin this place has ever had, tach? Grow up. You'll never be as good an admin as Jack or GF.

You can think what you will of me, I respect that.  I personally still view Gamefreak as my boss and superior, and I never believed or said I believed otherwise.  I frankly don't see why I'm the one the needs to grow up, nor do I see why I am the one who is blamed for your removal from a mod position.  A vote is a vote.

Also, it isn't just me-- you can't go half a day without offending anyone on some certain matter.

So who's idea was it for things to go down to a vote? Was it yours?

Maybe we should all take this to mention that you've been lying to most of the forum for the past two years?

Whoa, lets all chill out.
I don't want this to turn into a flame war.
I highly suggest you take this to PM's if it's just you two.
And furthermore, I'd like to keep it between you two for now, and even so, PM's are better than outright in front of everyone.
Please, we don't want fighting.

All right, fine.  I had wanted to mention it under different circumstances, but it's true-- I am seventeen.  I had a bet going that I could keep you all in the dark, but I lost it and have been trying to think of a good time to bring it up.  But then, who were you to decide to whom this information is disclosed?  My personal business is my personal business, much like anyone else's.  Just because you're rather open about your own life doesn't mean everyone is the same way.  Please, please don't make this turn into a forum-wide argument.

Too late. You violated our trust and now you have to pay the price.

You've had enough time to tell everyone. I'm fed up with the lies and secrets you keep. When you lie to us, you make it everyone's business, not just your own personal ****.

I don't mean turning my age into a forum-wide argument.  If people want to get angry about that, they have every right to.  I'm talking about the topic on hand, which is your removal as a mod.

Dammit all, I wish I were a mod so I could just close this thread ???
Tach, I don't care if you're seventeen. I'm seventeen too, and I don't see you any differently. JQ, I understand you're upset, and you have reason to be. So please, take it to PM's. If I'd been kicked off the mod-squad from a vote behind my back, I'd be a bit ticked too... but what price is Tacheon paying exactly?

Hey, how about telling everyone why you got so mad about Commodore joking about your age? you're nothing more but a phony, tach!
What price, I think you should understand his reasons, and in fact is not a big deal, he is still the same person here in the forums.
Also, stick to YOUR topic

You honestly want this man, who keeps lying to you about everything as your admin?

I'm fed up man. I thought I trusted and knew tacheon.

You want to keep lying to the forum about this stuff tacheon?

What stuff now?  The stuff I openly admitted to earlier?  I'm confused now.

Ok you guys stop, JQ if you really want someone to blame for demoting you blame me, k?

And who the hell cares if Tacheon "lied" or not. Our worlds don't revolve around you, JQ.

JQ honestly if you dislike TDC so much why don't you just leave? I have to admit I don't think it'd be the same without you but it's not my decision to make.

Tacheon doesn't keep lying, what has he lied about BESIDES his age?

I really REALLY don't want this to escalate any further but I think you are being unreasonable and immature.

I'll take the blame, alright? Just stop arguing. I'll take it all.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say something to Tach.

While you are a good guy and can be fun sometimes, why does it seem you're always against me? I didn't really do anything to you...

I've known about Tacheon's secret for a while now, and I'll say the same exact thing here, that I told him:

What his age is, doesn't change what he's done for these forums.  I don't care if he's 17, 28, or 83.  He's been one of the most dedicated forum members here, and has been a great help to me when I needed it most. 

He's been a good friend of mine over these past couple years, and the fact that he's not the age he told us all he was, does not change our experiences with him.

It's only visible to mods and admins.

JQ, Tacheon's age came as a little surprise to me, so I'm thinking how old he is doesn't really matter all that much.  Actually, the fact that he's younger than you and handling this much more maturely and calmly probably means that you shouldn't be a moderator.

And as TP Zelda asked, what else has he lied about to us?  What lie could he have told that if the truth got out would completely destory our community?

Actually, I knew about Tacheon's age for at least a few weeks now. Sure, he lied to us, but a lie about age != lying about everything, and you sure as heck know that, right? It's not that big of a deal, especially in comparison as to how you sometimes behaved on the job.

Yes, I know about the warnings I gave myself that you got rid of, for instance. You're not innocent at all here.

Not that I am taking sides here, but JQ, you have been acting very childish lately. These fights with Whocares and disrespecting others is not okay, dude. You are my friend, because you've helped me in the past, and  I am willing to forgive you, but this little stunt here has almost completely shut off your chance to get re-modded. Futhermore, not everyone is going to go about this as I am. As far as I see it , you've just made yourself target number 1.

Tacheon is not responsible for you losing your modship. I told you dozens of times last night. If you want to know the vote so bad, then fine. It was unanimous. Nobody saw you fit as a mod after your behavior. It's no personal vendetta. Tacheon didn't sweettalk anyone. Nor did he take control.

I said it before, and I'll say it again. You're making TDC some kind of twisted middle school playground. Just stop the personal attacks.

I could tell from that day you posted your pic in the facebook thread. You don't look like you're 29 at all! No offense...

But wait a second... does that mean you were never really in the Army?!

Only in God's Army, son.

But anyways.

If things are resolved, maybe we should lock this.

I'd like to point out though, that I'm completely amazed that JQ made a topic about him being removed from modship, into a topic about Tacheon's age.
