So, shall we start a pool on how long until The Mittani gets the reins of power back and everything goes back to the way it was just with the critical voices removed? I give it end of the month

I originally figured it would be 6+ months, but the way things are going, I think they're angling for sooner than later

purged = people that left on their own, not the same as banned

A bunch of critics all losing access to the forums at once is the same thing as banning people. Doubly so when it was obviously innom pushing buttons

So you didn't ban them, you just conveniently purged them directly after they started criticizing. How tf do you feel okay standing up for this poo poo dude

and nice job leaving innom in charge, people were warning you about this yesterday and you started ranting about infosec crusaders

I felt like posting this out but withheld it because I didn't want to become part of the conversation, but it was pretty brazen when he deliberately and immediately diverted the conversation about innom into a discussion about technical risk as opposed to personnel accountability.

Uhhhhh… what the gently caress dude. To have access to Goonswarm services, you need a character in goonwaffe. How do you have a character in goonwaffe?

I have done activity purges for Goonwaffe once a quarter for the past 5 years. I get that you are super mad zero trust right now but when we are you know checking services to make sure the evil nomnom isn’t sabotaging services and you notice one isn’t working right and fix it… suddenly it’s evil conspiracy.

Seriously, calm the gently caress down.

Hey everyone, this is Sesfan. This thread seems like the end of an era and seeing a lot of old names made me want to make few remarks.

I don't want to comment on any of the recent drama except to thank FNLN for his commitment to revealing malfeasance and note that he always gets his. Truly a legend.

I played EVE like it was my job for three years and made some incredible memories and friendships.
I also burned out hard and have never regretted leaving, and am grateful to the people who took over after me for keeping things alive.

Some of my favorite memories in no particular order:
- The drunk op to kill Swaffer in Syndicate
- Capturing our first outpost due to someone mistakenly dropping sov, calling it Leeloo Dallas Multipass, and then waging a frantically hopeless campaign to try and hold it.
- Chilling with Lobby Crew on Teamspeak
- Hoegaarden's ridiculous parrots
- Remedial stealing the titan fund and the 48 hours of chaos that followed
- The entire campaign through the South, defeating enemy after enemy with our relentless logistics and amazingly determined fleets, only to be counterinvaded by BoB and desperately trying to hold our ground.
- Bane Glorious and the Titan Manifesto
- Finally killing Sir Molle in his Titan and turning the tide of the war in our favor
- Roy of CA, PEOPLE OF RISE
- Vilerat and the viletat

What made it all possible were the genuinely talented, dedicated, and fun people involved. It's easy to get lost in the drama and bad feelings can persist for a long time, but it's been nice to see some closure and reconciliation happening between some in this thread and I hope all of you can take a moment to remember the good things that happened.

Some shoutouts:
Suas, you were a great FC and a mentor to me. Your rendition of Little Bees will always be a highlight.
Solo Drakban, iron fisted ruler of the forums, thank you for all the infrastructure work you put in.
Everyone who made funny posts on forums.
Everyone who came out on every boring fleet op.
Lobby crew!
Zapawork, for being a really good guy and especially helping me get my first real job.
All the directors who worked extremely hard and unrewarding jobs so that people could enjoy the game. Especially our logistics directors Stampert and Grayton.
Cefte, for being a charming, intelligent, and excellent poster.

And too many more to name.

If anyone wants to keep in touch, email is in profile.

Thanks for everything!

can yall please stop jumping down each others throats for banal poo poo like losing access to a private forum when you quit the forum voluntarily?
there is plenty to be critical of, like why are the 8 people still banned when theyve been vindicated, or why are directors not getting reeducated for continuing to deny any wrong doing from Mittani, without inventing outrage

If brisc does the usual "welcome back boss!" after it's come out that the guy had been harbouring a paedophile then he's an idiot.

I get the whole don't abandon your mates thing a lot of these guys are going through, but people are multi dimensional, they are flawed, and you will never see someone's true self, good or bad, while they are constantly high as a kite. I don't know if any of these guys can see this now but if he really is your friend, make sure he's ok, not because he lost his role as space baddie but because he made need actual real help, and it's you guys who will know if what he's been writing is a sign that he's got in too deep or not.

My friend in Christ, I went to bed at 4am this morning with all of my alts and main in Goonwaffe. I came home at 10am to find all of my alts booted from the corp, unable to access the forums, and unable to quit the corp on my main because I was in "stasis due to role cooldown". I was loving kicked and purged

I mean, the only reason I can think of "was shittalking the alliance on reddit repeatedly". Which is loving hilarious that the powers that be in game suddenly give a loving poo poo what someone in game does on an out of game service. Still, I'll make sure my carriers, faxes and supers end up in good hands

To be honest, Spadedad era and running with Miniluv in its first couple years is what made Eve enjoyable for me too. I came back briefly during the horn of goondor stuff but the game itself was just not enticing enough to keep me around. It was nice to see old friends again, though.
