Almost missed this great post re the 3 Mods being praised more than the owner/members

[ShaunP]

"Guys like aactive, duke of earl, dnpowerful and a few others are buddies of the 3 old Mods. In fact, they are all actively posting on the old Mods new Board even as we speak.

Likely trying to damage the proposed sale here with their nasty accusing and untrue BS Posts, so dnforum will decline and the new one is successful."

I've posted on the "other board" .. and have not posted any of the above .. get a friggin' grip man!

Truer words were naver said! QUOTE by Onyx "Why don't you guys stop being immature and mind your own damn business. Yes, the mods contributed a lot. However they encompass a very minuet percentage of DNF's active community. It's time other people step up in there place, should they decide to leave. I mean christ, Dan is 16years old! Can he not be joyous on this occasion without this entire community spoiling it? Why should he be obligated to compensate anyone, let alone these three men who are doing fairly well financially with or without ownership of DNF. To put it simply put. It's Dan's domain, vB license, and marketing that even brought these three individuals together.

Now do not get me wrong, allow me to reiterate once more. Snoopy, MattyP, and Safesys and contributed a lot. Great administrators, even better then Dan. However that is all they are, administrators. They are not owners, nor financial backers of DNF. Therefore deserve nothing more then a pat on the back.

RealNames ...


Can you please put all the rumors aside and confirm or refute that you are buying this site or not?

Simle question requiring a simple answer. I'm sure many members would like to know.

Realnames,

I applaud your courage. I think you're very brave to get into this firestorm. I think you should lay low. You may be doing more harm than good for your cause. At this point you could only benefit by letting the membership know how you plan to improve this place. You could start out by saying you have a dedicated server waiting for the sites arrival. Which you may or may not have. I was a latecomer to these boards so I missed out on most of the mods policing of this place. Based on posts I see, I'm sure they did a very great job. I'm sure that had Dan not experienced all the server problems none of this would be happening. Vultures tend to know when prey is in distress. I know this because I was one of the vultures. I think, and I may be wrong, that in the end, the mods felt they could save $5k by foregoing the purchase of this site and start their own site. More power to them. I wish them luck. I also wish you luck. You all may need it.

Thanks, appreciate this from a voice of sincerity and reason like yourself. Yes, it's true about the Vultures, Lord Knows I was one myself, thinking of the obvious need for cash that was there due to the downtimes, etc.

Yes, I will lay low and not post anymore about this entire fiasco. This is my final post on this. Thanks for suggesting I do so.

It seems like now that the negative doom and gloom guys all know they all look quite foolish (and need to grow-up) re the attacking of a 16-yr old HS Sophomore, they in turn have the need to attack someone else - me!

I will Post to Dan re the hoped-for purchase via PM on Sept 12th.

Thanks again gregr

P.S. Yes Greg, I do have a dedicated server. Also, here is an old post on the plan "The rumored buyer had absolutely no plans to change anything at all, even to the slightest degree. He was going to run it exactly the way it was always run, keeping the same Moderators and exact same format, not changing a thing. In fact, no one would had even noticed a change of ownership."

Good post until the 3rd paragraph ... ya just couldn't show class could ya?

 

[ad-lib]

DnP you still hold a grudge? haha

 

[DnPowerful]

Your subsequent posts to mine in this thread show you to be a classless guy.

I posted in hopes you would come to your senses and "lay low" as Greg says. Instead you insulted me, Miles, Shaun and mostly everyone else. Classssy.

Good luck with your purchase. I won't help you build here. Your compass is way off.

No grudge at all. I just stay wide of nutters like you who threaten people.

Your comments stand on their own.

Hey Dan and others here, I can't fight World War 3 by myself any longer. Please join in with some posts of your own. OK??

Are you so delusional that you cannot figure out why NO ONE is supporting your position? (Other than Onyx - and DnP has already exposed his dubious credentials. If that was my ONLY supporter I think I would withdraw from the race).

 

[ad-lib]

Dubious credentials? Since when does public display on a Internet message board (no less) dictate one's credibility? Are you that pretentious to allow retorts (which were in fact in defense) reflect one's nature and presence amongst the community? I did not register for a commercial gain, but rather to enjoy a community with a relaxed atmosphere. Not to associate with a whole bunch of tightwads. If anything, I should be praised for speaking my mind. I encompass that small group of members who do not put on a facade' --- And for you guys to actually ridicule my current standpoint because of this is absolutely preposterous! "He didn't bite his tongue a few months ago, let's expunge all his future statements." Come on now, are you that asinine.

And while we are at it, DnPowerful hasn't exactly exemplified the attributes of the ideal user. He has had several altercations with various users throughout his stay. Yet do you see me exploiting DnP's previous statements? No...So apparently DnP has not upheld the coveted 'code of conduct' that he is so vehemitley (sp?) criticizing me for.

In laymen's terms, your in the same boat buddy!

RealNames, I think you have sabotaged your base very very badly. I wish you had the same response on this that Dan had.

You keep calling everyone FOOLISH, and its creepy to me. Dan didn't call anyone "foolish", and the other mods have started their own board and not paraded around saying "Everyone, this way!!!"

There's a lot of wise and level heads around, but you seem to be the one being deeply offended, and throwing out insults (and repeating your rationale over and over as if people don't get it).

Wow.

Yes, please... lay low on this topic.

You've said more than enough.

I'm trying not to pay attention to the "behind the scenes" stuff, but when I read your posts, I feel like there's something spoiled at the center of this forum now.
