So, now the norm is to just ban anyone

I really think alot of people have done the right think in trying to stand up for what is right personally. I think the actions of the "admin" of the site have been a bit childish in nature when it comes to his direction he wants to take. Even if he doesnt see that he is losing some of the best moderators/members he has available.

Of course this comes to arise new persons who can take responsibility.

I for one am saddened by this all, of course I havnt hit Emokid status like Tamago did. lol.

I'm agianst banning all together since most of us live in America Goddamit and if not this site is still run from 'America' so freedom of motherfucking speech/type should still apply right? or am I wrong ???????????????
From what i've seen on most forums the people who get banned alway bring "life" to the forum or at least keep it "interesting"...

I think I'm missing something here - what's this business with the now-ex-moderators? Two threads seem to be centering around this, so can somebody clue me in as to what's up?

Moderators pissed at Bueller for lack of attention to the site.
Bueller pissed at moderators for actively promoting the MicroImage forum.
Bueller has issues with Garm.
Bueller demoted some moderators, and some demoted themselves because of all the BS.
All in the name of making YarisWorld a better place...

That is certainly BS. I've noticed a good many posts over several threads (including this one) being deleted. The fun is definitely sliding away...

a certain moderator went on a power trip and deleted many of my threads awhile ago.. i'm sure he won't be demoted though

I'm putting a good word for you, and I sure hope that tendency to "delete everything you have to say just because you said it" goes away. I, for one, promise to never do such a thing.

Just please stop giving ppl excuses to delete your posts.

If by "fun" you mean "off-topic and/or offensive" then you are absolutely right. The rest of the posts are right where they're supposed to be.

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.

All we can do is try to do is move forward and create a friendlier more fun environment for everyone. The past is the past, lets move on to better days ahead.
