I appreciate that man.

This whole thing is a bunch of bullshit. I've been a mod longer than almost anyone and I've never seen the owners take the slightest bit of interest in this place. Why now? Why not back when Tore was sending you all those awesome suggestions about how to improve the place?

and for the others, this is a good thing. you don't see it now, but that is because you don't know the plans we have in place. we really hope you all will at least give us the chance to show you that we are only here for the good of the forums!

No... no, we won't. I'll stick around to see how this foolish plan turns out, but don't count on my (or many others) support.

The mods made this community what it is, you've effectively just taken the heart out of the forum and kept the box it came in.

ok, where are we migrating to?

LOLWUT? So you think that swiftly replacing the extremely dedicated current mods with you and your fellow company cronies is beneficial to the community at large? Wow.

janszoon, things take time. the owners have gotten all those requests, repeatedly, and at the time, we were unable to financially make the changes requested. sure, some requests could have been simple, but when there are multiple sites with a similar goals, it takes time to hammer things out and figure out the direction of where things need to go.
we have now figured it out, and all the requests will have attention paid to them, and with the help of the new advertising, we will have money to pay for the new paid staff who will act on the behalf of those you have been requesting changes from for as long as you obviously have!
this is a great thing!

Like I said, If nobody gets to it before me, I will be registering a new domain on may 14th and beginning work on implementing a forum and front-page. Anyone with experience, get in touch and lend a hand and maybe we can save what little the forum will have left after this goes down.

Message me for contact details, MSN, email, etc.

And no, I am absolutely not blowing smoke. This is happening and the only way it will stop happening is if I cannot find a way to finance the hosting. I doubt that will happen, as forums are very cheap to run.

**** you, Jayshreddz.

No it isn't. Stop telling us what we should think of your plan. We'll be the judge of whether its good or not, and right now, it aint.

i am intentionally not infracting members for their outbursts because i know this is a hard thing to swallow. but please, if you would only give things a chance, you would see how this is a good thing. this is the only way we can fulfill all your demands, plus the similar demands of other sites we own.
would this have been any better going down if you did not dislike my music taste? i wonder.

Uh, no... this would still be going down because it is an idiotic plan... Grow up.
