Nuclearmonkee posted:Derek navel gazing and worshipping himself will not make vbulletin stop working, even with Radium's best efforts. The important thing to take away is that the act of helldumping by a moderator is seen as a confirmation that it is OK. It takes one mod to helldump, then an obsessed poster to see that it is mod approved and go just that little bit further and so forth. As mods we have to enforce the rules, not bypass them. Beet and Beer are good choices and should be able to keep the forum ticking.

They've been doing this for years now. They got rid of that Sandi standee in a hurry once the original artist was notified, so they're probably just quiet about it. But for the most part, I'm guessing it's because they've been stealing from nobodies. If this was not sanctioned by Amazon, then they've just infringed on a trademark owned by an international retail giant — one that most likely has at least two full doom fortresses worth of IP lawyers at their beck and call… Tippis fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Nov 21, 2016 |

I vaguely remember Derek saying offhandedly about a month not being approved once. I think for lazrin or something. But that was a long time ago.

That call to arms for more money in that latest letter from Chris Roberts is such a damning indictment of the entire Star Citizen experiment I can't even begin to imagine how bad things are that Chris is actually paying attention to them.

In any case Derek should come back. Even if he thinks his banning was 100% unjustified its not like he cant do all the things he was doing before. He didn't need to be a mod to tweet 'coming soon the ELE' so it ultimately doesn't matter.

A fleshed out Arena Commander in the vein of Mechwarrior Online but actually developed and with fun mechanics and a PvE mode is something I would have played the everliving poo poo out of, no stupid Single Player no idiotic MMO nice work CiG well done on dropping the loving ball on that one. Seriously though give Arena Commander its own dedicated development team and they'd have had a product out making them 'actual' money by now and not a failure of a PTU that people only play so that they can do the videogame equivalent of jamming their dick in a door while claiming they're having fun.

Nickiepoo posted:I'd call the Desktop Commander Saga funny as poo poo but yeah I guess it would have been pretty boring if people weren't actively loving with him. 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.

FactsAreUseless posted:Sadly, "funniest option" and "option that makes the forum run" aren't always the same thing. 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?

Doxxing posting nobodies has never been anything but a bannable offence. So it remains to be seen whether Derek will choose this hill to die on rather than coughing up the  . Normally this would be a foregone conclusion (he would do the former), but then he would be denying himself the oxygen of publicity for his bloviated blog posts. Decisions decisions.I hope he comes back because his trolling of the more over-eager SC haters was just as funny as his over-the-top warlording of CIG itself.
