Yeah, it could work like that for those of us that are fine with the split and post at both places, but there are going to be people who would refuse to look at (or at least refuse to post at) one of the two, even if Qjimbo's version fails. Even if it did fail and people who were loyal to it came back here, there would be those would harbor anger toward them for crawling back only when the alternative failed. It's not that I don't see what you mean, because I agree with your main point. It's just that I don't believe it would work nearly as well as just one S2beta would.

I'm going to shut up now. I don't want to use up all of my posts holding a difference-of-opinion argument when I might need to say something more important later. Sorry for bothering you.

Approve this man. He's been a lot wiser then some of the others I've seen lately.

[Lemming 1545]

I concur verily. ; )

Also, LocalH, I just want to say that it makes me really happy to see the "leaders" of the opposing sides cooling off and working this stuff out. That's top-notch administration, not holding a grudge. And Sazpaimon, good luck with your new position here; you've got experience, and I'm sure you won't let us down.

Tsk tsk, with Tweaker de-adminned I might actually have to do some work. :P

I've been away for a couple of days (and I never visit the IRC) but from what I've read, I would've banned Qjimbo without a second thought. That's up to LocalH though.

[Mad Echidna]

Yay, drama.

Let me verify the one thing that is relevant to me personally: Are the forums still working? Yes? Ok, good. Moving on . . .

[Rockman Zero]

The only problem I had with Tweaker being an admin was having everyone retake the quiz and being retrialed for membership. I thought it was a rather irrational decision, and I hope it never has to happen again.

Although I'm a bit unsure of Saz being admin again, I'll still give him the benefit of a doubt.

That was a group decision, dear.

And yet almost everyone blames you.

[Aquaslash]

Apparently, he was a good scapegoat.

[Aurochs]

Saz did most of the work on that quiz. In fact, he seemed far more interested in making it happen than anyone else. Did I ever tell the story about how he spammed #s2techies for over a month asking for quiz questions?

OK. But it would've been better to have had that clarified to every user that it was a group decision, so there'd be less misunderstanding.

[Miles Prower]

It was made clear. Plus, taking the test again was not so painful, and this stuff was not the only thing Tweaker did as an admin.

BTW I'd like to ask for validation before my trial period ends, because it has been quite some time I've been stuck in this state, and seeing the "important notice" at the top of the forum is becoming pretty boring. If I'm not to be validated, put me in PA now. Thanks.

[Zweih]

Well, sounds like stupid internet shit happened in the past couple of days :D


Also, last post, later Sonic Community!

[Sonic 65]

At least this is starting to get resolved. We don't need any more drama on this board.

Looking back, I can't see any problems QJimbo and the other people involved in this would have with Tweaker's adminship (the retrial was just confirmed to be a group decision) other that he "wasn't Simon". I see the exact same common complaints at QJimbo's board (e.g. Member's Lounge is filled with spam) that I do at this board, so I can't help but think that nothing would have changed either way.

Anyway, hopefully all this shit will start to clear soon.

(also, I'm taking this post to announce I'm back after two months of inactivity)

There's a grand total of one spam thread (the Butz thread). The fact that a single thread is considered crossing the line is the biggest problem and reason for a split.

S2beta sure is swell, aint it guys?
