I really dont know what to think of you after what you pulled over there. I use to think you were a decent fellow, but after what you did involving the moderator spot I think you are just a giant turd.
I wish more people would realize that a major reason this site was started was so Justin and his other whores who were not moderators on JJ could be on here and think they are big shots.
His site failed and yours will also. It's just a matter of time.
Pretend I'm as slow as you and spell it out for me. What did I "pull over there?"
I was relieved of my duties three times and then reinstated three times. Of which time are you referring?
Was it the first time, when the admins were trying to find out who was arbitrarily deleting threads? When my mod responsibilities were removed, the deleting stopped for a few days, so they made me a Hall of Famer again. Then, the deletions started up again, and they found proof of who it was (Liteinthetunnel). So they told me I was back to moderating, without me asking once.
Was it that time?
Maybe you're thinking of the second time, when there was a surplus of mods, so Zammy and I were relieved of our duties. This probably would have remained the case if it wasn't for the random meltdowns from the banana-themed returning poster late at night, when I'm one of the few who was most likely to be up at the time. As a result of that, they ASKED me to return as a mod ... It's no different than Chesapeake originally being made a mod as well, except for the fact that, once again, I never asked once to be reinstated.
Was it that time?
Possibly, you're thinking it was this most recent one, in which someone I know signed up on THIS site under the tag I now use and told everyone I was the banana poster (which is, interestingly, when I found out I know the banana guy personally). They quickly figured out that that guy wasn't me, and my demotion/banning over there was short lived. I DID tell them that it wasn't me in an Email, but once again, I never asked to be reinstated.
Maybe it was that time, eh?
Point being, I'm not sure what you're talking about, and really, I don't think it's any secret that you don't either. I never once asked to be a moderator. I was flattered that people thought of me as someone who would do well, and I tried to when I was on. I didn't take it all that seriously (ie. I don't have a hard time remembering that this is just the Internet like you seem to.). I just did what I was told to do.
Now, you can go on calling us cunts, ass-kissers, skittles, or whatever the hell else you wish, because this is the Internet, and it really doesn't matter anyway. I just thought that maybe you'd want to say SOMETHING that would give ANYTHING you've said any validity at all. It would be a shame for me to roast you without giving you a chance to back up your baseless claims.
This site was started for the same reason yours was. This one was just marketed better than yours and set up cleaner than yours. Thus, it was the one most of the public chose. Relax. You can still have a niche. Yappi and RocketCorner continue to do what they do, and that's great.
Why do you care so much about where the "replacement" site is anyway? Why do you care so much that so many people picked this forum over your own? Why does it upset you so?
If it's for the popularity, I've got news for you. It's the Internet. Just because they're on your site doesn't mean they like you.
If it's for the marketing aspect, then why not just talk to Justin about setting some stuff up where you split any earnings?
If it's for something else, I'm completely lost as to what that would be.
Finally, you are correct on one thing. I am a turd sometimes.

Well, when you are going against a site that has all the ass kissing parasite bastards on it then it's hard to compete.
And you never know when another site may pop up and if one does, it will be be a good one.
Business lesson learned on the first one, wont make a mistake if and when there is a 2nd time.
What exactly do you think was your mistake?

I love how Mike Clark's website had a post that said "we will never be like jj huddle" talking about banning people. Within two days my log on of "freehuddledotcom" was banned. Not once did I ever say anything negative.
What is the URL of his site? I might have to have a talk with jjhacker to see if he's up for a return of the banana guy.
