So, now the norm is to just ban anyone

[Sabretooth]

I honestly think that Bueller personally needs to realize what he is doing. I mean really, he gets upset because he feels like his own moderator team "betrayed him?"

When it was that very moderator team, including countless members who revived this whole FORUM, after the hack...He simply was notified the site went down, and payed to have it put back up. The PEOPLE put it back together for him... Hence Yarisworld got to where it is now.

It pisses a lot of people, old members, and new to see someone who has never really played a leading example in the forum, make such choices as he did (banning/demotions/promotions) in such a irrational and quick method as has been done. Its almost something out of a communist state of mind that "If it cant be the way I want it, the hell with everyone else who opposes me."

I was pretty pissed to see Yarisworld be hacked and brought down to pretty much nothing... Im furious that one lone person simply threw a hissy fit and pretty much altered the whole forum leadership structure in what seems like an overnight job to suit his needs.

I dont see one positive thing coming from banning ChinoCharles and running off Thomas and Echo. Other than helpful and knowledgeable members being gone.

Bueller's Communist YW FTL!

I will see myself less and less visiting Yarisworld.

Your points aren't without merit, but this is Bueller's site. He pays for it and could just as easily shut it down if he wanted to. I hope it won't come to that, but if it does, life goes on.

I liked all the moderators too and Thomas was pretty much the de facto leader IMO. It looks like he's going to stick around even without mod status, so that's good. I hope echo and Charles reconsider as well.

The hack really did screw things up, tons of good information was lost. And even with some of it being brought back it's just not the same.

wow.... like, wow. <sigh>
I've been away for a while, not really personal choice, but to come back to this.

The hack was, terrible.
The lack of foresight on backups, unforgivable.
The enthusiasm of the then mods rallying the YW community, unforgettable.
Act of DIY's sabotage, shameful.

Sabretooth, I'm with you 95% on your comments.
Current mods, hope you realise what you've bitten off.

Thomas, Echo and probably a few others whom only now swing past
anonymously, thanks for your genuine enthusiasm, humor and advice.



The king is dead, long live the king.
