ATF Chatroom, for O/T chat - Page 535 - About the Forums

I was helping them with the admin transition but I had some other gnarly stuff going on and took too long to take care of some things, so they revoked my access to everything. I regret doing this because it probably placed undue burden on them which was not my intent. I was quite surprised by it, but I understand why it happened.

Like what would my motive be for refusing to step down? Lol? You guys consistently have the weirdest and most logically inconsistent theories on my motives.

I'm surprised that you couldn't see the thread ending this way.

This divided the community as you can probably imagine, but nevertheless he continued in the same manner, unrepentant and defiant until the forum finally came to its senses and decided to end "mods4life" and he was "allowed to step down".

Still not taking the hint that losing one modship might be unfortunate but losing both looks like carelessness, he's now standing for re-election.

You couldn't make this stuff up.

Not like I didn't warn you all. Anyway last time I checked UP it seems Wookie was stripped off all his mod powers which is a good thing. He and Tom were never meant to be moderators

Ikestoys growing up to be a pretty cool guy was a real plot twist.

I'm afraid that won't be happening anytime soon - he still is technically a mod of the lounge if I understand right so maybe he can start a politics thread there and see how that works out...

Yeah well you may be right there. What does he need a 5% swing?

Since Mr. Wookie is no longer a mod, can my profile infraction from October 5th of 2017 be removed? Mr. Wookie set it to never expire which I find a bit harsh since I didn't know it was against the rules at the time. I put up a URL in part of my profile picture and thought it would be okay, because someone else did it with a different website, but didn't get into trouble. I'm kind of wary of posting links unless it is from YouTube or an image, because I'm afraid it will be marked as spam.

Next question.

You think that Deep Throat is a better acronym for "permanently aggrieved posters" than POP is?

I will never understand everyone's obsession with Wookie. He wasn't a great mod, certainly not as good as the current moderators of the Politics forum, but whatever. He was working for free. I can't speak for UP, but avoiding the banhammer on 2+2 has always been trivially easy, even if you were a conservative posting in the Politics forum in 2017.

But judging by his attitude on UP I'm not surprised he didn't. Very Trump like in not wanting to be removed from office.

It would be useless for UP as I doubt there would be many lucrative posters on there to market anything to but I suppose there may be some value to know what interests the highly radical.

I'd think the UP demographic of 35-54, male, North American and median income > $100k would be pretty lucrative to market to.

There’s been some sort of Mirror Dimension thread combining going on around here.

If this was yesterday I'd be able to explain how I feel about the mod who soiled this thread with all that nonsense, but now... I can't.

Edit: I was actually not aware that personal attacks were previously allowed, so I now feel like I've been missing out on years of insults I could've delivered.
