Apparently I'm incapable of setting the forum post permissions correctly. My intention last year was to make these boards read-only. heh Oh well, if people want to post so be it. =) [So long as spam bots don't become an issue of course.]
You guys are certainly welcome, by the way. I've really enjoyed hosting the game server and its associated website over the years. It is one of the favorite parts of my history.
I'm sorry that things worked out that way Gnight. Please understand that since I was hosting but wasn't an active player myself it was difficult for me to fully sense out all of the tensions and rivalries amongst various player groups. It was always an exercise to try and figure out who was being completely honest with me when they would share information or make suggestions because people have various motives. As such, my visibility into who might have been the best candidate for a particular position was limited. That said, I do think we mostly had good administrators and effective moderators, but I do also recognize that some staff members at times overstepped their roles or behaved poorly. Many of us were young and angsty during the heyday, so I kind of understand it. Ideally we'd have had a cohort of ethically flawless justice hammers moderating from above, but that just isn't realistic. heh In any case, I do hope you enjoyed playing for the most part.
