Not to play devil’s avocado here, but I think now it’s less about what Gany wants and more about what Derp wants. For all the grandstanding and iron-fisting (ooh err matron) done by Gany, I’d absolutely believe that Derp was “the decider” on the unbannings and the new code of misconduct.
Funny trivia about the forum software. Because I had Derp blocked before he became Admin, I actually can’t read the CoC or other new announcements while logged in :=)
After deciding to unblock Ghost and see what all he’s written since he’s been unbanned, I stand by what I said: the man’s a slimy piece of shit, more importantly, one who gets off on drama and tries to stir it up. More of his time is spent insulting people than anything else, and yeah, any community that wants him, I don’t want to be part of. His is the most obvious fucking weaseling I’ve ever seen, but WE’RE the bullies, clearly.
Yeah. Everything still stands. Hope he reads this!
I’ve always gotten the impression that something like 99.9% of all Ghosts posts are an attempt to troll or bait someone. Even when he’s on the same side as you on an argument it feels more about him trying to demonstrate his aloof superiority then a genuine attempt to be constructive.
@Jennkryst Yeah, I’m in the same boat. I’m kind of annoyed that I now have two forums in which I lurk, though. Also I’m kind of sad that the community got split so thoroughly. I’ve seen it happen in hobbies before, and it just reduces the whole community.
Judging from relative activity of the two boards, it looks less split and more like most active posters went over.
@Solstice said in hobos Temporary Ban Discussion Thread:
We had a lot of fun together. I vouched for you a lot, and kept your stories alive as long as I could in-game, well past their expiration date or even after your ban; past the time that it was wise to have done so.
I think it’s really cool that you did that. I think the best part about MU* as a medium is the way stories are created collaboratively and sometimes long survive the player/character that started them as others build on the original concept.
