There’s like multiple discrete semi overlapping user bases though right? Different sub forums have individual threads for the same topics cause there are unique posting styles and sets of generally accepted opinions so how do you communicate with that sorta distribution as a whole?

99999 mods threatened to resign if i didn't immediately delete fyad, make KM head admin, and chop my transphobic rear end head off live on stream. i had already appointed my successors so i said ok and logged off. literally.

remembering when they bullied the admins into removing old rear end lovely front page articles for transphobia lmfao

ok for real though whats the backstory of the current drama excluding the pyf and gbs thread closures (those are self explanatory) I just chill in this subforum so I got no context on the latest thing that threatens to blow up the whole site apparently

- jeff's qcs oval office thread nuke on boxing day and the subsequent closure of qcs with no comment from jeffrey until yesterday
- t.e.c.h. thread where imp zone asked for thread vote icons based on the defunct magazine gamepro. astral refused because he was worried about copyright, imp zone mocked him, the mockery increased when astral instead offered icons based on the far side. this culminated in astral giving out ban+30s, the most notable given for saying "don't bother, he's gone milquetoast with power"
- gbs ukraine thread lusted too openly for watching russian orcs get vaporized and sagas lusted too openly for mocking them
- admins remain on bahamian vacations throughout all these until releasing an even shittier version of qcs the other day
- larry got perma'd for saying he would gently caress jeffrey's rear end in a top hat until he stopped being a bitch and hoping jeff's next thai child prostitute would be discounted

think that covers it

this is the real hosed up thing about it: our probations didn't even show up in the leper's colony. it's like being kidnapped by the cia (for being insufficiently american, christian, and pious) and taken to a black site, then let loose without any evidence of our ordeal.

I was completely absent for that entire thing and it rules seeing it constantly referenced with almost no personal insight into it

no I do not want it to be explained to me
i am not gonna explain anything, but i do think it's important to mention that attempted forums coup is an accurate description of the whole affair

fluff actually posting somewhere, even there, would be an improvement, the general impression I've gotten is that he has the homer simpson telephone problem with normal keyboards and just has a streamdeck set up with "gas thread" and "ban+30" buttons instead
