So as of today, I'm stepping down as owner, and @Dr. Krieg is taking over in my place. Additionally, @John is stepping as admin and @The Exception /Nick has agreed to return in his place. Feel free to welcome them here.
Can we change that shiny administrator tag to be in Russian? That Cyrillic alphabet is just kind of cool looking.
Yes. The main part of it. Unless Dr. Krieg is not a just let Gul do whatever the fuck Gul wants to do guy the cancer is still there.
I chose to step down. I decided I didn't like the direction in which the board was going, and felt that it would be better without my name on the masthead any longer. They didn't actually want me to leave.
What direction was the board going in? I think you mistook the gloating of a certain set of posters (like that guy Soma), which would've inevitably abated, as a major shift in dynamics. Everything would've returned to normal in time.
Either way, you being gone from a position of trust and authority is a big improvement. Sorry, but you simply don't have the temperament or the ability at self reflection to do any good at such a position.
