OK guys - let's everybody chill out. This is one of those threads that can get really nasty really fast. It's already well on it's way - so lets nip this in the bud.
I think the hardest part of my job over the last 6 months - has been dealing with people who are all my friends - yet not necessarily friends with each other. At the same time - there are people that I don't particularly like either - but I try my best to treat everybody equal.
Everybody doesn't have to like everybody else for a community to thrive and be successful. However - we do all need to co-exist. That's the key - and that's what we need now more than ever. This place is getting the equivalent of a turbocharger installed - and soon there will be 10 times more people here. We have already seen this start. There are over 300 people online as I write this post.
I too am bothered by some of the things that people have said at that other forum - and in the past it got me upset. Not any more though. I have learned that no matter what anybody says - and no matter what anybody thinks - DNF is (and will remain) the
#1 domain forum on the web. Nobody will stop us. They can't. So now I sit back and laugh at the doomsday predictions - and the other forum comments. Who cares!
As for Greg - he is my good friend. He is also not the big asshole that some people say he is. He is however - not the best with dealing with people in public - and he will be the first to tell you that. Now that he is a civilian hopefully people will get to know the real guy - and not just the public image that he has been judged by.
As for Izopod and Nameslave - they are both my friends. This is one of those cases where they are not on each other's Christmas card list though. I'm asking both of you guys to please just try to get along - or even ignore each other if necessary. Yes I know that is easier said than done BUT I also know both of you guys are big enough to do it.
Here is my suggestion.....TODAY we all start with a clean slate. The past is the past.
I love you guys - and you are the reason that I (and my mod brothers) dedicate ourselves to this place. So please let's everybody forget past differences - and start fresh. We are about to grow again - and soon there will be plenty of new people to hate. Hehe
