First, let me say that I'm not at all a fan of venting dirty laundry from the employee section at the back of the house, but there's obviously an issue about Alley quitting again and the desire to delete the server on 4-1...& I've noticed no thread since then that helps explain how the issue is being resolved.
As it stands, based on what I have to go on, I'm led to believe that disco ends in less than a week, & the last thing said about it was well over a week ago & the locking comment was simply to go about my business.
Let me make clear: I can give platitudes of how I love the community & I hate to see the staph drama-hound this place to the ground, but I'm posting this specifically to be extremely selfish...I love this place & I simply wanna know: am I wasting my time playing here again?
I want to know, I deserve to know & I'm just one person among everyone else that deserve the exact same thing.
What appears from here on the outside to be systemic internal dysfunction based on the fact that internal issues were aired up to the breaking point of public disclosure is not my problem or the communities problem. It's y'alls.
This request is extremely reasonable & the issue should not be swept under the rug like it has up to now. It's not like this is a big community anymore like it was, & no real reason why such a small community as it is now should potentially go off the rails because of BS in-fighting.
Do the right thing, don't lock this on reflex. Just be honest & tell us something with some actual substance.

It was stated already that it´s not really the case:

It just means from this point on the forum box will be left to operate on its own until someone wants to pick it up and maintain it.
Though some update about the state of things from the staff would be useful of course.

That went under my radar & I'm glad you brought it to my attention. Thank you
I would hope that the staff see fit to follow your lead & do the same all crystal clear-like
Things are slowly leveling out again, actually. That and our ModDB page is getting lots of hits lately, so feel free to grab yourself a character, go to Penny and help the Newbies.

I do just fine helping noobies in my own way...trying to distract w/ Jedi mind tricks don't work on me spazzy...you're no Jedi. I respect that you're good with doin' events, but that doesn't fix the problems you lot are obviously facing.
I went & broke a rule that I agree with & enforced for years because of what appears to be a lack of leadership. As to why it's gotten to the point of public venting as alley did...not my problem.
What I AM concerned with (more so now than earlier) is the flippant attitude in your reply.
what I requested was respect...& not just for myself.
An announcement in the news section addressing the issue would go a long way in showing some confidence in the community.
Nothing changed. King Boo is still unresponsive and has not participated in any staff matter since my post.
Laura's quote is correct and the server will operate with minimum maintenance as of next week.
I had some slight hope some things would change as it prompted topics not related to King Boo to be brought forward and discussed with the devs but all around it went down as I suspected it would. Working towards making a better disco did not seem to be the prime concern for everyone involved. Sad!
Either way the thing will not die today, so have no fear about that. It's just going to be more of the same.
Shrug.
Either or, I see no reason to use it as an excuse to not care or bother. I am going to continue doing my stuff, I suggest you all do so as well.
