Is there a way to make Jason continue posting here? With Derek gone most of our shills will disappear too which is unfortunate because it will mean less people to laugh at.

Before this incident, during the year that this thread has been sitting here and being moderated (or not moderated, as you prefer) by Derek how exactly was it crimping SA's style? Did it spill over to other sections, with people shouting BUY MORE JPEGs at unsuspecting posters? What? I'm still trying to figure out why new rules for what constitutes "shitposting" are needed or why the thread was in such a dire need of an Idiot King.

Now that you're overall in charge how do you see the thread progressing, what are you trying to achieve? In short, what is your Vision for Thread 3.0? Will it require more pledging now that the scope has changed?

I wonder if they can even achieve an MVP like that. I don't have much faith in their capabilities considering how much has happened in a year yet so little has actually been achieved.

This is just a market correction back to pre-SC subforum levels of Derek being angry about Goons to anyone who listens.

You quoted a post that wasn't probated and edited in a probation message to try and do what, then?

More importantly...who will be the apostoles of Derek Smart to claim to have seen him and to spread his word? Certainly not those rewarded with their 20 pieces of silver, that's for sure!

They hacked together a 2008 FPS with spit, ducktape and baling wire called Starmarine in time for the anniversary stream. Forcing pretty assets to pew-pew each other on a single map for 10 minutes with stats at the end should be possible, even for CIG.

I just read the first few posts on the first page of that thread so correct me if I'm totally off the mark, but, is it literally just a thread complaining about the presence of the star citizen thread?

Here's a solution: don't look at it.

Has anyone put forward a really compelling reason for getting rid? Is SA stored on a 200MB hard drive and the sc thread is taking up valuable bytes?

I'm gonna be kind and assume that rather than being thin-skinned babies who get upset over something that has absolutely no impact on them, everyone complaining about it is a cig shill who has realised they can't attempt to debate the broken non-game here and have instead gone for the tactic of trying to get the thread killed.

Therein lies the exact difference. Young DS was just someone that got funny if you actively hosed with him, much as was the case with Branson and the 'suck my oval office' saga ITT that elicited his mega-meltdown.

Modern-day Derek, however, does funny poo poo regardless of goons loving with him and will likely continue to be such until the day that CIG officially collapses. Hence, his great value to this dead gay comedy forum that may have been, with this weekend, sadly squandered. Mod or not, No Mods No Masters or not, I really hope he does come back, because even though his ego-trips remain the size of galaxies, they've always been entertaining. poo poo, I don't even read most of his word salads, just seeing them posted is enough to make me laugh IRL by comparison of what a complete shitshow Star Citizen has become.

I'm quoting this post because it's just that good.

Yeah, him being demodded isn't the issue it's the fact that he's probably not coming back to the thread

I'd actually compare it to Clarkson where of course you can't loving punch your producer and he's got to go but whoops now Top Gear is dead and Amazon gets all the glory oh well.

That's fine, I know it's a little difficult when suddenly there are people to enforce the rules, but Derek not being a real mod wasn't a good thing. People seem to think I disliked Derek because of personal issues with him or Star Citizen things. It's because I, as an admin, felt he was a bad mod, because I had to keep declining month-long probations he requested on people who poked fun at him. Then he proved me right by making a really, really unacceptable mod decision. I totally take responsibility for ignoring this forum and letting it have the fake joke mod for so long. That was a mistake, due to personal bias. I admit that. But even the SC forum needs actual mods if it's going to thrive, and Beer and Beet will do good jobs.

This question has come up many times. I still expect it will turn out to be some mistake from the person getting the refund not understanding how VAT works simply because loving with VAT is so stupid and incredibly retarded that I can't believe even CIG would do it, at least not like this I mean. This is like the worst way to commit VAT fraud and the easiest to get caught, I can't believe someone like Ortwin would go along with it.
