Lol that is a mind gently caress. It's also hilarious that only Ralp and Jeffrey seem to have any idea what happens in FYAD, and KM is just lying through her teeth.

Jeff had to be dragged over broken glass to remove the islamophobic baby blowjob as an admin, he'll be a mod forever


That post is gross and I don't know why anyone would ever post that. It also obviously doesn't make him a pedophile or defender of pedophiles. Cyrano is a conscientious and thoughtful admin and, having worked with him, it's quite clear to me that this horrible attempt at a joke doesn't reflect an inability to be an effective admin today, 7 years later.

also an earlier hit

I've always tried to do right by this community. I'm a longtime member of SA and I love this place. I volunteered to code for it because it needed it, desperately, and I knew I was in a position to help. The thought of losing this place still rattles me. It makes it hard to sleep. My focus has to be on getting this deal done as quickly as possible. I know there's been some unrest about the mod/admin team, but right now with complete honesty, I 100% need their help. This is a huge transition that involves a lot on the business side, the technology/coding side, and the moderation side. I can't do it alone. I do think that how this site is moderated, and by whom, should be evaluated in great detail once I take over. I have am in an unprecedented position to do so and I will take advantage of it. So please, for the love of all that is funny, have some patience. It is already going to represent a huge shift that I alone can't shoulder.

The fact remains that, regardless of what actions Cyrano took in 2017, TFR in 2020 is free of people like PCOS Bill, and it's because of his direct actions. I can't in good conscience ask someone to step down because of a mistake from 2017 when I can also see that they acknowledged that mistake, corrected for it, and followed through. Cyrano has been a huge help to me over the last six months and is nothing if not conscientious.

Yospos’s no anime rule is only really applied to 1 poster. He tried to give that poster a month probe for posting anime which is insane.

YOSPOS is GBS with computers so that tracks with their fantasies on the pink forum.

Ralp returned to do exactly one good thing in his posting career and it was exactly leaking that whole shitshow, or at least something close to that.

on the other, it was very easy for me not to be taken in by that because I somehow had no idea it was happening at all. I pretty much just read Games through that whole period and I don't think I even noticed that FYAD was closed, let alone reopened

I'm surprised actually. In GBS we totally had "FYAD are Nazis and the type of people who donate a puzzle with missing pieces" missionaries. In particular that CascadeBeta person.
