I'm surprised everyone's panicking.

An admin left. That's too bad, I liked Yuzi too. But it's just like every other admin departure that's happened here. This isn't the end of GCL, and the boards aren't going to be shut down.

    Ok, what the fuck? Yuzi was demoted. Why do you all worship him like a god? He is just another member of the fourms. Being an admin should not allow you to play God on a fourm. It make people panic when someone does leave.
 
    He was demoted from admin to glitch scientist because, not only had he been pissing people off, he want all out on a guy because Yuzi thought he broke a rule. F.Y.I, Yuzi was wrong, the guy never broke any rule. He was again demoted to member plus because he resined. So it wasn't even a demotion. So stop looking back. Change is change, nothing we can do about it. You can't turn back the clock, so why bother complaining about the past?


Everything is changing for the worse.

    You really think that? Well then thats depressing, why bother staying here if thats your true outlook on this place? I like to think I'm not changing for the worse. I'm changing, nothing I can do about that, but I hope that its mostly for the better. In fact I think that I'm changing for the better. Some aspects that I've acquired in the past few years are bad, but theres nothing I can do about that. Change is Change people, it happens. Nothing anyone can do. You can try to keep a fourm and its members the same. Thats what kills fourms. So things change, if we want to, we can make the best of it and make this place better, but when everyone just ogles at the past and wishes things could go back to the way they were, a fourm withers away and dies. So lets all look at the future and not look back at the past. Hell, with Yuzi's departure there be one less admin. So if you truly think this fourm is going down the tubes, be cool, get on peoples good sides, try and become an admin, then you can help fix the problems.

[size=1pt]I don't have anything against Yuzi, in fact I respect him for being the only one to do anything about sonic glitches. So don't start a hate fest on me please[/size]

What if people like Yuzihax not for his admin, but for his personality?

Although, strangely I feel I might have harmed a few resigning from admin for that one month. Or not.

Well, people shouldn't let other people play God, regardless of the reason the think he/she is apt to do so.

People shouldn't stop other people from voluntarily treating a person as very great, or as you say, a God.

Also, here's some stuff Yuzihax said about what you said, Zach:
<Yuzihax> I'm not "being worshipped as a God" in any form.
<Yuzihax> I'm respected.
<Yuzihax> Members respected me.
<Kyoukipichi> and liked, apparently
<Yuzihax> Apparently.
<Yuzihax> But yeah, I guess I was the kind of admin everyone liked
<Yuzihax> LIKED, not worshipped.
<Yuzihax> Well, people shouldn't let other people play God, regardless of the reason the think he/she is apt to do so. <–But I wasn't!
<Yuzihax> Yeah, I was over-authorative, it did come off to people as playing God.

Um, great, is this site, or SMF having server problems? I'm getting lots of errors.


The server just crashes like any other server.  It's not SMF since we've kinked out near all the bugs and upgraded again to a more secure version of SMF 2.0 *pokes the 3.1 instead of 3 at the bottom of the page*

So I'm wrong and arrogant. Sue me. Anyways, my views were more tilted towards people's reactions to anything Yuzi did over what Yuzi actually did himself.
So I'm sorry if the hole "playing God" stuff pissed of Yuzi or anyone else for that matter. [size=1pt]yet this only applies to people who think I insulted Yuzi, not god[/size]

F.Y.I., Yuzi wasn't demoted, I temporarily removed his rank so that the other admins and I could re-evaluate him and decide whether or not the forum would be better off with him as an admin. 'Course, as he's well-respected, if he hadn't resigned he probably would have gotten it back quickly - I certainly would have had no problem with that, and certainly bitching at one member isn't grounds for immediate demoting.

Of course, judging by his character, I'm guessing that the changes I have planned for the rules would have upset him anyway. Anyone who's spent more than a day with him on IRC would know how he regards new users and so-called "noobs". One of the major problems with this forum, I came to realize, is how badly the rules are written. As they are now, they give anyone carte blanche to insult and degrade other members how they want as long as they frame the victim as an "idiot" or "moron" (as the rules ambigiously prohibit "being an idiot"). This also extends, I realize, to staff actions - not that anyone's gone that far, of course. And then there's that wildcard rule (the "if some staff member doesn't like what you're doing, it can be punished" rule, I believe it's Rule 8 or 9). Who knows how that could be abused? Originally I framed the rules of this forum to mirror those of Sonic Retro, but now I'm beginning to feel that those rules aren't exactly kosher for a pokemon forum, no matter how "intelligent" we may purport to be.

At least the IRC drama is over with.

Woah, the re-evaluation thing was SERIOUS?
I just thought you were being sarcastic, XD.

Over the internet one can only assume things, and I just assumed sarcasm.
Even in situations, people can sometimes be sarcastic, and that's just what I figured.
