Things reached a breaking point today with the whole "fire a mod" thing, and I'm done playing. I'm packing up my toys, and I'm going home. Literally. I'm packing my desk, and going home. Enough of this BS.
I had given my unlisted phone number to the moderators over Christmas for emergency contact purposes, and one of them thought it would be funny to start subscribing me to paid SMS services and other subscription phone call services like surveys or some crap. Of course, none of them had the spine to give me *their* phone numbers for contact purposes, so it's not like I can call each of them to find out who it was. I have a suspicion it was Cenere or Zophia in Europe because the calls are coming really late at night -- apparently AG needs better screening on the maturity level of its moderators. Like I don't get enough sleep at night already with a newborn...
This thing is obviously way out of hand. What started as a means to diplomacy and to give the other mods a much needed kick in the arse ended up causing all kinds of spam, enraged users, actual hate mail, and now late-night phone surveys waking up my entire family.
Another survey call just came in on my cell phone this afternoon, and I flew into a rage, telling Dan, Justin and John that we need to just wipe the entire moderator panel because they're obviously not mature enough to handle the job. We all argued, they told me I had power issues, and had the audacity to tell me that *I* was the one that started all of this, and that being a self-appointed community manager wasn't even in my job description, so why the hell was I so upset, blah blah blah.
So I'm done. I handed in my resignation at Armor Games effective immediately. I'd draw some fancy "middle finger" ascii art in retaliation, but I haven't even got the energy for that, and they're all expecting me to leave...
I expect they'll try to lock me out of the site by disabling my account, which frankly they have every right to do, but hopefully they'll at least have the decency to leave my resignation note up for a while so some of you can at least see that I'm quitting.
Thankfully I have a few alternate accounts kicking around that were used for testing stuff on the site, so I may drop in from time to time just to harass the moderators enough to piss them off and ban each account one by one. Maybe giving *them* a few sleepless nights will teach them a lesson.

This website has officially started to fall apart, with weird stuff happening all over and tons of people joining, I'd say the games part of the site is still fully operational. yet, the forums (without cormyn) are going to start being a hellish nightmare. I suspect tons of spam, trolls, problems with the site, no AG 3, and pretty much hell.
I smell end of the world.

We're having problems doing an Admin ban, either the database isn't getting written properly by the php or there's a cache issue. It should be permanent soon.
If anyone has any questions they can ask me on my profile or in the thread.
This is an April fools joke. Touche', ma'admins.
So he finally snapped, eh? Gotta admit I'm pleased Voidy won't have to be kicked due to a stupid vote.
*prods timezone* Cen should see this. /o/ If I can prod him awake.
Oh, also, the stickies might be my doing. Maybe. Naw, who knows.
I remember there was something similar last year before April the 1st on the threads. It was then HARDLY admitted that it was an April's Joke.
What the hell is this. I come back from the park and helping my grandparents with something at their home and there's all these threads renamed after Moderators and I come back to this.
Hmm. Is this is a joke then it's well played.
Things to LOL about.
i'm the caffeine guy. Ahem....

The site worked very well WITHOUT cormyn when Carlie was here.
If Cormyn IS gone:

These new sticky's have taught me how to not have my asherlee threads get zophiad due to devoidlessing my cenere.
I have to say these mods are going quite the distance for their jokes. Anyone else notice the large number of stickied threads MrWalker seemed to make?
I don't know if I should share my opinion, but I no longer care.
Stay, go. Resign, get fired.
Whatever. Makes no difference to me.
Thread is locked!
