thing is, I'm glad you agree, but I feel guilty for getting an upvote for this, it was just meant as a community message :/
I agree with a few things here and there, but not all Ashbad.
I do agree, we were always a nice community to others and newcomers and newbies, but I feel that DJ has been treated like crap lately, and I don't want him to feel intimidated/upset with people on his own site.

Hmm personally I disagree there was trolling on the forums, though (unless I missed something?). The problem is on IRC.
Also one of my biggest pet peeve (even more than trolling/spam) is when I try having an important discussion regarding some of this with a member and he ignores me on purpose (I know he does, because that member was active talking with someone else at that time. That person knows very well that I despise this. Since that person did troll, I am convinced he does this on purpose too,.
ANother thing I despise (same person) is when someone trolls or have nothing but negative remarks against someone's work to say, then when someone gets angry at him he badmouths them for not taking a joke, in order to make himself look clean then get away with it. Here are examples:
-A PRIZM discussion occurs, where Fishbot say he found something great while hacking the calc, then suddently the person joins the convo only to say the prizm sucks and TI is much better. This happened twice at least
-When that person brings up OmnomIRC talk, he asks how something works or why something weorks the way it does, but never has anything else than negative remarks to say about Netham45 hard work, despite the person never having made such chat system himself. In other words, all he does is whining about how OmnomIRC works.
There was also the whole thing with people begging me to check their project updates, but that did not even affect me as close as both a ressurgence of real life issues with someone harrassing me and that IRC user doing everything to destroy me. He can't be permbanned for ignoring me, but he's sure not helping me nor himself. Has he ever thought that maybe bothering to talk with me could pretty much solve the entire issue?
Maybe this person should be paying the entire next $334.89 hosting bill?
No I am not, and I won't be until that person who ignores me gets his act together and explain his actions (at this point, it may even be best that he does it in public) and that the real life person that does me harm either stops or that I find a way to make him stop. I won't go into details, though, in case the latter may be reading these forums.
Note, the IRC events occured in the last week, mostly at night around 12-2 AM GMT-5.
ANyway I do not know how my activity will be in long terms and I pretty much lost all interest I had for calcs now.
Ashbad, I agree with everything you said there. Well posted. :)So do I, they're reading all of our topics somehow :DSpoiler For offtopic:
Nah. If you search irc logs from Monday-tuesday night, you'll probably notice who I am talking about. Note I really mean night as in Netham45 logs time. For you it's most likely morning.
Im curious. Have I contributed to any of this in any way?
Honestly I think we need a new leader to step up in DJ's absence. DJ has always been kinda of an Omnimaga symbol.(well respected, source of inspiration) A new leader to moderate the posts could really keep spamming in check and help with project development. We have many great admins here and one of them should take on this responsibility.Or instead of it just falling on one person's shoulders all the admins do it, like we are suppose to.
I just thought because DJ has always been a great admin and stuff, but I don't want to leave one person with tons of work to do.Not sure, prbly suggesting that another admin does the work, which sounded like what I didn't want to do myself anymore. I rated it up, though.
Also is there something I said earlier that caused my post to be rated down ???

Well at least I am glad now there are other staff posting news, unlike last time. X.x (where we went 1 week with no news then suddently 4 late news in one day when I returned to staff)
