I miss Chuck and PStang...that whole mess just sucked. To see those two grown men go completely apeshit over money was just ridiculous. I think KMaynard made the right call so as to avoid another shitstorm.

Too true about Chuck. I really could care less about what people post. I agree with whoever said if you donated money and you feel you got suckered, hey no one twisted your arm. I gave money to help out Rich when he was in a bind and I did so without any expectations. Its no one's fault but my own if I gave him that money and he spent it on weed (which I am sure he didn't). I guess what I am saying is that I don't necessarily think the thread should have been deleted. Then again speaking from experience, it sucks ass to be a moderator. Those who have never been through such a "pleasant" experience have no idea.

Well, no one is holding a gun to anyone's head. And for that matter, in the overall scheme of things, it's not that damn hard. Finally, some of us have moderated boards a lot larger than this one. If you can't handle this minimal pressure, I'd hate to see how you're dealing in "real" life.

Wow,
Thanks for minimilizing our jobs like that... nice to know it is so easy ...
Are you pro life or pro choice? whatever side you are on there's alaways someone who will think your an asshole for being on the opposite side.. Mod'in this board is very similar...
Don't worry - I'll smack her if it comes to that. You do not sell guitars to buy shoes. You skimp on food to buy shoes!~Mrs Tekky 06-03-08~

well, it's not like being an air traffic controller or anything, but it gets old sometimes and is akin to babysitting. yeah, we choose to be here, and no one's crying on the cross, really. i'm not gonna stand here and say "pity me, it's so hard to run this place" because on the whole, it isn't. yeah, it's a colossal pain in the ass regularly, but whatev.
we knew that this issue was gonna be an ugly one, and while we disagreed with the thread being here, we also agreed that if we yanked the thread, we'd look like uncaring pricks. no real winner in this one. i feel bad for gwarghoul's situation, but i do think that if nothing else, we should have been approached first.
right or wrong, we made the decision to curtail the fundraising threads. had we been approached in the first place about this one, this recent round of GIF probably would have been easily avoided.

It's a shame Jon didn't post prior to your post Kevin. If you really want some Internet stress, I'll give you the phone number of Dave McRobb at Megadeth.com. Moderate that crew for a month or two and get back with us.

not tryin to contradict or minimize anything that kev said. i do agree with him in that many times it's a pita and not worth it. that said, it's not like it's our real job. yet oddly enough, the GIF that goes on from time to time can follow you around all day. and that blows penguins.
