An explanation - Beaucephus - 01-26-2005

Well partially anyway. First off I would like to apologize to our members for the events of yesterday. As you all well know the deleting of threads are not the standard practice here and what happened yesterday was fucking unbelievable. I will tell you right now that Velvet did not do any deleting, editing or anything of the like. She had absolutley nothing to do with it. From the best I can tell so far it was VitaminE. The logs show all the changes were made by his account. Now then, to further mix up the cauldron I found out it was Bdic who was the one that did the deeds while using VitaminE's account. I will state right now that I am not sure if VE gave his password to Bdic or if his account was hacked. What I will tell you is that VE is no longer a mod nor will he ever be again. I am going to inquire with him further before we decide on what to do about it as his side of the story needs to be heard. I don't understand the mentality behind all of this. We came here and created this place as a result of this kind of oppression. I realize this place ain't the best in the world at all times. Some days it's lame and some days it isn't. But why in the fucking hell would any twisted fuck find amusement in something like that??? Someone please enlighten me. As an administrator here I have found the job to be quite simple and requiring little to no action whatsoever most days. I have been the silent partner so to speak for the running of this site as I have given quite graciously to insanetrain.com because I believe it to be a great place to fuck off while bored at work for many of us. There would be those who say dumping the cash is fucking stupid into a website in which you get nothing in return for your money. I would disagree. It's my fucking money and I'll do what I damn well please with it. Plus, I can afford it so fuck it. :d. I have a few ideas that I need to toss around with Lee pertaining as to what to do about all of this and I will let you all know very soon what is going to happen. What I can tell you is that the integral values on which the site was built will remain intact. Once again, my apologies to you all and thank you in advance for your patience while we deal with this.


Beau .

I personally would miss the pezz dispencer and I think he has been punished enough. As for the ldic, although he gets people posting his methods have always been questionable. There's no dought about it, the UJ/IT controversy is the best traffic maker either board could have. I just question how far one can push the envelope before it ruins the intended purpose of this site?

So am I to understand that E will leave if he isn't an admin?

Okay, Vit E would only leave if Beau, Lee or Vel asked him to stay away. Being a mod means little compared to being a poster. That's been my view since I got here.

VitE's no puss, read his thread. he pony'd up and I dought the dood is that upset about the whole thing. like wise I think the whole thing is playing out for the best = Bdic has again suckseeded ( Wink ) in getting people talking about how far does a posters freedom really go here.

No you may feel free to access the M&M dispencer as usual.

I don't know about all that. This one deserves some conciquences. Lee placed his trust in me and I abused that trust. I'm not gonna hide from that. What ever comes out of this I support their decision, as I hope the rest of you would.

sounds alittle like you want an angry mob to hang you for this dood?

An explanation - VitaminE - 01-26-2005

This'll be my last post in this thread. I fucked up, I'm here to face the music. It's that simple. If the admins are pissed, it's their right. I don't want anyone to be mad at them from what comes outta this, that's all.

Damn E it sounds like you're proud of it or something. What the hell?? I mean you ought damn well have known doing something like that with that idiot would result in something like this. As far as the posting goes, who really gives a fuck if that kind of shit gets people posting or not??? Just because it gets some action on the board, does it really make that much difference?? I would rather see few posts if any as long as they don't get deleted. That shit wasn't amusing, wasn't cool in anyway whatsoever. We have a free board with virtually unlimited restrictions on post content and you let some idiot come in here and shit on us for it. Unbelievable.

Thanks for owning up to this VitE.
It takes a bigger man to own up to their mistakes.

i gotta give Props to VitE for owing up to it. All I got to say is this place definately (sp) would NOT BE THE SAME without VitE. He needs to stay, dont know what the "punishment" should be but in the end......THIS PLACE IS BETTER OFF WITH VITE HERE.

Yall know you'd miss him.

An explanation - cLaY - 01-26-2005

why does there need to be a punishment? ban him?...we don't do that here. this is stupid, for reals!

An explanation - Beaucephus - 01-26-2005

FOr one thing I have never said we will ban him. I like E. I just would appreciate a valid explanation for abusing the site like that.

An explanation - SanDog - 01-26-2005

It seems fairly obvious to me.
