Just seen this thread as well, it seems to be the old case of a newbie being handed a plum position and the others not liking it.........its human nature I suppose. Basically Jayshreddz has just come in and he doesn't know the community and the community doesn't know him, basically just give the guy some slack and judge him after a reasonable period of time and not before he's even started.

It's not just that. It's the way that this shows that the company or whatever that owns this site, doesn't seem to give two ****s about this place, or how what they do might affect the atmosphere of the forum.


I don't know him that well, but considering some of his posts so far, he seems like just some dude who doesn't care about music any more than any other random dude you could pick off the street.

Fuck the system.




























It just seemed fitting and I like saying it.

I agree with your first point about the atmosphere aspect and the faceless company appointing a mod of their own and have always thought personally, that mods should either be voted in by other mods or by other members that have a certain post count (at least 1.000) The mods should also be representative of the sub-forums as well, for example each sub-forum should have somebody well versed in that type of music to give a decent representation across the board.

Second point though is where I differ, the guy has been appointed and he just accepted the job. All I know about him is that he loves Pearl Jam (which is really good) and dislikes Neil Young (which is really bad) we don't know too much about his musical knowledge and his ability to do the job, but he should be given a chance to show what he can do.

For fuck sake it could've been much worse, we could've had Hip Hop Bunny Hop made up to a super-mod and we could've had the Klan running the forum.:laughing:

Well shoot, I leave for a couple of weeks and this happens?

You do realise this was all your fault?
They desperately needed new administration help to cope with your absence.

Thank you, Pete.

It's ignorant generalizations of our staff as seen above your post that really make me want to give the users what they seem to want and start doing fuck all, then see if they notice a difference.

I had something fun planned for April, but maybe I won't put in the effort now.

At the same time, I don't think it's fair to make generalizations on the opinions of the users based on one comment. You were basically the unanimous choice on tons of MB awards this year. I'd put more weight into that.

Ah, you make an excellent point. It's hard not to get angry when people come out of the woodwork and say you're unqualified and contribute nothing. My threats are empty. There's still going to be an Easter Event; it's too much fun not to go through with.

I'm excited.
