What I found most disturbing about this incident was all the people complaining about the fact that whippy made this call, acting as if he was some sort of niche mod.
I mean, can you really call yourself part of the PA community if you don't even know who the fucking Admins are?

You can if you post in G&T. I was here for months before I knew who the admins were (and the first one I knew by name was Alpha, when the server troubles began).

I don't think complaining will solve anything. Nobody likes the changes, but the admins will just shrug it off and say we'll get over it.
I hate the changes, and I hate the way they were brought about. But i'll just post in the D&D Chat Thread from now on. And i'll watch the mods and laugh as they attempt to take care of all the repeat threads that pop up in G&T.

Well, this doesn't apply to me, but considering how rarely many of them get around, I don't find it very scandalous that this is the case for some.

I knew about all three of the admins, but knew more about Khoo and Alpha as they actually did stuff.
I have seen Whippy appear in g&t a total of one times to this day; and that was to enforce drastic changes to the subforum without seemingly caring about the other mods' opinions. Which would do very little to actually encourage a growth in the 'community' of g&t. You'll be surprised how close the g&t 'cliques' are to communities, except for some weird defined reason for a difference - random new posters complaining about unaccepting of new people? what? has he not been reading the numerous accounts written by several new posters who liked the megathreads and the chat thread? And how they were welcomed with open arms if they actually spent a week to lurk and familiarize themself with the forum, that's what you people down in SE++ ask of your posters. It works, tried and proven.

I was one of those who did not know whom WhipStitchZombie was.
I have been posting here, constantly, for 2 years.
In that time, Alphamonkey is the only admin I've ever seen in G&T (my stomping grounds).
Whippy admitted that visibility is one of the largest problems on the administrative side of the forums, and will be fixing that.

He fixed that, he made himself known by coming out of the woodworks and making sweeping changes with very little evidence to back up his supposed claims.
Whippy doesn't have to "back up his claims". He's the fucking admin. This isn't a democracy, he can do whatever he sees fit. However, he takes a lot of time and thought over pretty much everything he does, and y'all could do a lot worse. I'm locking this thread in a minute, because it's not going to be anything other than a hive of needless bitching.

So he can lie, do whatever the hell he wants, and he's still completely justified in doing it because he's admin? Wow.
If he wanted to nurture a growing community so much, he shouldn't of crippled it.

I don't see any needless complaining in here. I see people who have decided to voice their opinions to the mods and I think that's a good thing. I don't blame any one mod in particular, I just think for alot of us this was out of the blue and we want to express our dislike for the change that's being suggested.
Is it so wrong that people want to stay in the social circles they have become a part of?

He has also been here for an INCREDIBLY long time, even when the forums were just a handful, with one general discussion forum (including the Red Rangers thread :winky: )and the artists corner (or something like this, been ages since those days).
Whippy does know what he is doing people and has been here longer than 90% of you. We've seen bigger and more dramatic changes than some threads being shuffled around in a sub-forum and lived through them.

God forbid some discussion takes place.
Oh shuhs. You're just complaining for the sake of it. This is what, the fourth/fifth thread for discussion of this? No discussion is being done, just bitching and crying. You're going to have to see how things turn out. We all are. Or, you can leave. I heartily recommend it.

I'm just going to refute this before this grows into yet another unsubstantiated rumor.
Those new rules whippy posted? He didn't write them. G&T mods started writing them two months ago.

Wow, just wow.
I blame Whippy
I know, right?

I've said what I have to say in other threads, I'll just have to accept it is what it is.
Utter bullshit?

Appeal to authority.

LOCKED.
Actually, it's an appeal to experience.
