bah

getting bored doesnt give the right to abuse power

The layout is normal and fine now? Even if he abuses something he puts it back to normal.

why abuse it in the first place. if its going to annoy people dont do it

Yeah, it seems like he is abusing a little bit. Wait, I didn't say that. Don't ban me!

Why do you talk in the first place? If it's going to annoy people don't do it.

Geez, Ovaltine Bob, Going on the offensive? Deliberately personally attacking? If there was ever any proof that you have nothing else intelligent to say other than personal attacks, I'd like to hear it.

Suicidecommandofan1 has a point, and you know it.

plz dont ban me

Plus I believe I was the one who kicked you guys for talking about sports? Atleast I have done that before

so 2 wrongs make a right? and think before you type i dont talk on here i type so it would be my typing is annoying for yyou have et to hear me speak

Alright, let's get a few things straight.

1. Why has everyone suddenly assumed that I am behind these random post deletions? Somebody mentions that it could be a possibility and then I'm suddenly flamed, bashed, and otherwise cursed at for doing something that I haven't done. It is server problems to the best of my knowledge, I haven't even touched someone's post for at least a month now.

2. I'm an Administrator, and it is my job to make sure things are working properly. If I have to check on the girl's chat occasionally to make sure things are in order, I will, but I'm not on there to intrude on privacy or make fun of anyone. If I do read something, I'm not going to tell anyone. I mean, you're posting on the internet. Other people can read it. Deal with it. If you don't want people reading about your life, then don't post them in a forum.

3. Chris is still an Admin. Taylor has claimed that because he's graduated, he can no longer govern, but I disagree with this. Though he has VIP status, he is still an Admin.

4. Sean and Troy need to calm down. Just because someone they don't get along with becomes higher ranked then them, doesn't mean they need to flip out on every little thing I do. Layout alterations, name changes, I do them because people ask and want it. I see nothing wrong with me changing the layout occasionally or a name or two, so don't get your panties in a bunch. T_T

5. Perhaps placing the Rickroll up was wrong, but you have to admit, it was a little funny. I'll try not to play so many pranks on you guys, but don't expect me to be a dull, boring Admin. I have some other tricks up my sleeves.

Many of these accusations against me are false or lack evidence, so I'd appreciate if we didn't jump to conclusions on me doing things to the website that I haven't. I have its best interest in mind. If you have a problem with what I do, tell me. Otherwise, quit whispering behind my back and making up lies. It just makes you all the less mature.

Just for the record, fixing the 'abuse' dosen't make it okay.

If someone is being abused, but then the abuser stops...it dosen't just delete the history of it.

How is this behind your back? It's blatantly being discussed in a public topic.

Yeah, It's not behind your back. Like you said "It's on the internet, deal with it".

I mean that Troy and Sean and whoever else is in on it are always talking about how I'm apparently 'abusing my powers' when I'm not doing anything wrong to the best of my knowledge.

Have you done anything to change the board, names, picture, threads ect.?

I've changed the layout, involving colors and banner. That is it.
And it was changed to a fall theme, obviously. I was asked to change it by most of you, I recall.

Of Course Ovaltine Jones doesn't abuse anything, especially not changing posts by any way. If he had, it would probably look like this, but, since he didn't, we'll never know the exacts. *sigh*

That wasn't me. Somebody else changed it. I noticed it myself. I'd appreciate whoever changed those posts to confess, but I didn't do it.

Lol, I did it xP I was bored and I liked the purple layout.

greggle.. did i ever mention how much i love you xDDD

Yeah, still, not cool..

Also, at 18 shouldn't you be over the xP phase?

Um... What's wrong with using internet slang when he's 18? I know 40 year old people on the internet that use lol and XD and such.

Eh. I find it immature and demeaning.

It's immature and demeaning if anyone over 10 uses it.

^.^ =] ^-^ :D ^_^ ;) But, I really like smilies.

Why do you think it's 'demeaning', particularly?

Seriously, it's peoples preferences... Some people show emotion in different ways over the internet then others. For instance, the fact that you (Josh) rarely in any way let people be aware of your emotion may be why many people assume you to be rude, arrogant, and bashing.
As long as people don't type in strong chat speak all of the time, I really don't think any one make themselves look immature by the way they type.

It makes teenagers look uneducated and impartial to whether things are correct or not. It's going to be upsetting when the 'teens' are in their twenties and are talking chat speak to their bosses via email. Oh course it hasn't happened yet, but we are the first generation to really use it to the point that many have.

It's a matter of context. Obviously, a sensible person shouldn't use chatspeak in the real world, but this is a teens' chatroom. Loosen up a little, eh?

As for the accounts of abuse, I've been "accidentally site-banned" by David before. However, that was a long, long time ago. I haven't seen him do anything too abusive recently.
