> (COUGH)

Well then, I know I haven't been much of an active staff member.
..Anyways; So it comes to my attention that you all - yet again don't like the theme put up. And frankly, activity has ceased since the boards been upgraded with some colour and fun.

Now, I really don't want to let the work Michi, Kei and everyone else die away like many forums in the past have. Though, through the internet world -- I've seen boards come and go; but there are those that stand out. Y'know?

It was said best by Chi, I believe;

She, Kei, put her time and effort into the board. Making skins and graphics aren't easy. As a fellow gfx/skinner I would know. The least you can all do, and you know who you are, is shrug it off. Complaining and say how 'Eh' the skin is, isn't the way to go about things. Especially when you toss names into the equation.

Therefore, those of you who spoke a bit ill of Kei, need to apologise. Frankly, grow up.

On another note -- If you'd like the forum to go back to the way it was, the first option should have been to contact either Kei or I, as we are the only admins available.

I respect the lot of you, however I don't respect those who like to talk behind peoples back and act a different way when they're around. Now, would have complained so freely if Kei had of said something? No, I really don't think you would have. You would've softened the blow a bit by saying something along the lines of, 'Well, it is pretty/nice but..'.

Also; Why wait until now to complain? Don't think by the way the board looks that it's causing inactivity. Because frankly that shouldn't happen. I've seen horribly laid-out sites more active than TM.

If you want to use the board layout/coding, as an excuse to leave, you weren't planning to stick around much longer anyways.

Because I'm rambling now, since it is 1AM and I have some early courses - I bid you all adieu, for now.

We're not bashing someone behind their back, though

She's completely wrong in that regard. Kay could come back at any time

What's the point of asking peoples opinions if you throw them out the door?

Not everyone likes Korean music, and I honestly don't want to see every corner of the board.

The "right" to bash someone? Sweety pee...this is America, we have way too many rights. This happens to be one of them. (another reason the terrorist hate us)

And Napalm is right, it wasnt behind anyones back. This is the internet for cryin out glavin. Where is she to pipe up about this whole schpeal? Prolly off making another MB about the next Korean pop-vamp sensation to come out of the jungles and wet the panties of mixed-up tennage girls everywhere.

Thats my opinion, and Im more than welcome to it.

Im sure Kei's a sweetheart, and has all good intent for this site, but this is a fucking turdbortion of the original that Michi and Dei put alot of work into to make a haven for the "Trouble Makerz" that needed to see Heath Ledgers Joker face, criminally glaring us down as we pontificated writing someyhing of worth.

Get rid of the shit stains on the wall, and put up something that wont make people wretch when come here.

WARNING: WALL OF TEXT

IRNrevrSS; Do not call me 'sweety pee'. You can all hate me or love me for this, but the truth is, the lot of you are acting like children. Hell, you know what, even children behave more civilised than you.

I don't really care if it's America, England, some creepy castle, or Hell or wherever! In fact, this is, indeed, the Internet.

If you're still going on about this theme, shut up. It's a theme. A fucking theme. Who cares! Deal with it! It'll eventually get changed. Give it time.

Aaron nor you is right or wrong in this opinion-based, immature matter.

In my case, I simply voiced that it was done behind Kay's back, which it had been because, she was not on. Nor was Dei. Sure, they could have seen the topic, but it could have also been lost in JITYR endless pages, which, they probably wouldn't have even seen.

However, since this topic clearly brought the apparent 'issue' out, I suppose what I said before is null-and-void. /END

Moving on...

The Original TM was based upon the fact that Michi wanted a place of her own, a place that was meant to be 'peaceful', and a place away from the rapidly dying IJ. And, thus, TM was born.

Our themes: we've gone from Batman, Sailor Moon, Transformers; know what they all have in common? Nobody openly bitched about them. Nobody openly said, "Hey, I don't like Sailor Moon" or "Hey, Transformers suck", or "God, Batman was sooooo last season."

What's more? Nobody openly complained when the previous themes had been changed (The ones that Dei/Michi made). And, now, when a newer theme is in place, you go and complain about it? Jeez. Grow up.

I don't really understand why you all are complaining about this skin, or the past few skins. It doesn't bother me, but does anyone care for my opinion? No. Do any of you listen to those to actually have no problem with it? Of course not.

The lot of you are centered on the fact that the skin is -NOT- what you asked for.

There was a Pokemon skin. It was only up for a short while, but, you did get what you asked for. Maybe not a full-blown yellow-brown Pikachu colour scheme, but you did get Pokemon.

If Kay and/or Dei had been on at the time of your constant bickering, I highly believe that a topic, such as, this one would have not been made. In fact, I believe you lot would all be too afraid to voice your opinions, and confront the situation face-to-face.

I am also going to add that when Kay and Dei both devoted time to creating something beautiful for this board, the lot of you were devoting your time to making yourselves and those around you on this board quite miserable.

The board has become inactive based upon the fact that during Winter, almost everyone here has jobs or school to attend to.

It has not been inactive based upon the theme, and if that's what's going to happen, or what you think is happening, then that's your own fault. Not the admins, not the moderators -- it's on you.

Every last one of you ingrates owe an apology to Kay and Dei, and possibly even Michi for ruining her board with your constant complaints. Hell, you lot owe everyone an apology.

Get to it.

And, please, just let this whole issue die. It will be resolved on its own.

TL;DR

Let the topic die. The theme will eventually be changed. If the board goes inactive, it's on your heads, not ours (Staff). Apologise to everyone. Grow up.


For future issues, please address them to the person or persons involved, not in a topic.

We owe to no-one an apology, sure, maybe to Michi, but we had our ideas and opinions thrown out with the garbage.

Sure, the other themes nobody bitched about, but that's because NOBODY ACTUALLY GOT A SAY in them

Sure, for like, a week, we got it. But for some reason it then became 'HEY LOOK GAIZ I GOTZ AZN POP THAT NOBODY LIKES LOLOLOLOL'

yeah, right.

You.
Shut the fuck up and grow up.
No one likes half the shit you go on about, but do I bitch and complain about it? oh um. no.

But thats because I thought you were a friend.

But that word seems to be a bit too generous when I use it on you.
Too bad.

I'll say it once more.

Getting people's opinions on things, the completely ignoring them warrants bitching.

Was I ignoring them?
Uh. NO.
No one complained about the skin, until I wasn't online lastnight.
Also, I gave you all Pokemon, I made a shop and gave you all money to buy your own Pokemon.

I'll say it for the second time and never again.
I'm not here to please YOU and YOUR NEEDS.

I'm done talking with you.

And yet, we still agreed on a pokemon theme, not a shop.

And if you're not here to listen to the masses, step down from Admin.

And you did ignore them. People left because of said skin change.

I'm not stepping down as an Admin. You can forget that one.
And the only reason you're keeping your staff status is because, unlike you; I am not petty.

I GAVE you a skin, there were Pokemon in the side bar, in the shop and on the damned banner.
If thats not a skin, then you're graphics design illiterate.

Open your goddamned eyes, Mr. Shit for brains.
I LIVE IN ENGLAND. I work FULL TIME. I cannot be online EVERY NIGHT at the same time like you and the other members. I'm busy looking after elderly and dying people. So sorry that I'm not here 24/7 to wait on your beckoning call. I have other things in life that are much more important to me than your opinion.

I've had my say and frankly, I'm getting bored of listening to you.
Three words;
Get over it.


Note to other members;
Next time you have a problem. Come to me. Its my face that talks, not my back.

You're missing the point.

And you're twisting my words

I never even implied, nor said that you're here to cater to my every whim.

I honestly don't care if I'm 'graphics design illiterate' either. There are far better things in life than Graphics.

With that being said, why should a theme be a problem?
So, the pokemon theme was up for maybe a day or so. The request was never ignored. Kei figured she could just toss in a bit of culture, something different for a change. And instead of trying to embrace it, the lot of you just went and took it as though Kei herself ass raped you all.

If you loved the board before all of the sudden skin changes, then go back to doing so, and act as if nothing happened. Simple as that.

yet again, twisting my words.

This forum was built of evil, 'trouble makerz' who were evil plotting bastards. Not Korean pop stars.

Sure, I didn't like the pokemon idea either, I would have prefered Alex Mercer, but honestly, the people had made a desicion.

And I'm a photographer, so I'm not completely 'graphically retarded' as some people would put it.

I brought up the skin issue last night. Voiced my opinion, and really thought I would get run out on a rail....But alas I just brought out what out what everyone was thinking. (well...most everyone) I wasnt aware of who you were/are till recently, so I wasnt really doing anything behind your back. Neither was anyone else. Are we supposed to hold our emotions back about things till your online and ready to mix it up? I think not.

You shouldnt get so hurt by peoples opinion on the skin. You are the Administrator of this place. You have to keep your head about yourself with things such as these.

As for all the ansullary stuff you added to TM...I couldnt give a flying crap about any of it. (Obviously) I dont do pokemon, nor do I want to see that shit dancing around when Im posting...Thats just me tho. Not that I dont appreciate all hard work you put into it. I do mean that sincerly too. Im just too opinionated most likely. Issues Im dealing with...trust me.
