Listen. I didn't and hardly know what happened to OTD. It's in quarantine right now because I think Tomo has had enough of the drama, most of us have.
It definitely wasn't the right time to close it at all + I don't have access to that kind of thing, okay? I can't do much for you guys right now, but maybe find out why. That's about it.

I am so angry right now it's a good thing he deleted the ****ing chat. REAL CLASSY. REALLY SHOWS WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE. Can't even take criticism about the actual problems that are going around the forum. Yet you still sit on your bottom and ask why there are problems here. I mean seriously, I'm so angry right now I'm forcing myself to take deep breaths.

but what were the concerns people were bringing up? i'm guessing a mod got personally involved in an argument, and then there was backlash??
honestly, i don't think closing OTD for a little bit is too bad, if it was to calm down the drama
if there are legitimate concerns, hopefully the mods will be willing to address them soon maybe they just wanted to wait until things settled down?? though, i wasn't here, so i'm mainly guessing based off of what has been mentioned

Look the admin/mods and the forumers are supposed to work together. This is the exact problem we were going to fix when we moved here bc the mods on the old forums sucked. They deleted things without warning, banned people without reason, and had huge issues addressing actual problems. We were supposed to fix this guys.Being an admin/mod isn't some cheery little skip along in the park. It's a lot of work. I'm not sure that many of the admins/mods here considered that when they signed up for it. To be an admin/mod you have to set aside all of your personal beliefs and take no sides. You have to listen to everyone. Some of you are really, really bad at that. You are not fit to be moderating. Removing an entire section of the forums because you didn't like what people were saying doesn't prove anything except that you're extremely childish when it comes to handling conflict and have no clue how to work with others. You, as moderators and admin are supposed to work with us, not against us when it comes to how the forums work. You are not better than us. You do not have the right to be childish and take something away because haha you have power and we don't wow that's so funny. For the love of all that is good get your stuff together. You're supposed to be admin and mods, not children. And if you can't handle that then it's probably best that you resign. If the current mods resign. Who will replace them? None of us are capable for it. Almost everyone on here have shown their true colors.And their obviously gonna take sides. It seems otd causes more trouble than its worth. Maybe just keep what the fourms were originally created for. To talk about warriors and rp

This is going to sound pathetic but OTD is literally the only place I can go to have any interaction/talk to people and get away from real life so thanks for acting like an adult and removing an entire section because you can't take critism I'm honestly not trying to sound rude or mean in any way, but, you could make a group pm with your friends/chatters...? besides, otd will be down for 24/28 hours, not forever.

Main concerns were with the mods and how things were run.
And so Tomo closed off OTD for replies and then that's when things got really trippy

To talk about warriors and rp Not all the mods need to be replaced. Just the ones who can't do the job right. There are a few that can do it right. Sandclaw, for one. She's level headed, good in conflict, and has helped resolve many things. She's a good example of what a mod should be like. Toothless is also a good example. They're chill, haven't stirred up any trouble or flipped out over the otd mess like some of the other admin, and they're a friendly, active member of the community. Both of them are the kind of mods we need. As for otd who knows. It's usually alright. People just need to know when to back off to stop things from escalating. If you know you have a controversial view on something, use your common sense and don't say anything about it. Simple as that.

the thing is this isnt some petty drama over another political thread or anything, it was about concerns with some of the staff and how they act i was only browsing at the time so i wasnt involved, nor do i actually know the full story, but when the problems seem to be this big it just seems counterproductive to lockdown the board and not say anything else on the matter aside from essentially "naughty kids go in timeout" -- but of course this is all just in my opinion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if there are concerns with how the mods and admins work, then maybe they should contact them personally and discuss ? or, feedback and suggestions ? not throw shade on them bc "nothing gets done" or "so many problems on this site" or whatever was said bc i skimmed some of the incredible nonsense that was being said. to me, its just easier to do what Tomo did, and if anyone has a problem with it or with whatever was being discussed, they could go to him bc he's the top admin of this forum. but yk that's just me.

i explained in the start of my post why i wasn't comfortable pming any admin or staff member outside of sandclaw, and i wanted others to share their concerns on the thread because people are clearly afraid of the staff and i figured i could get more of a consensus that way

Okay I get that you guys have problems with the staff but I've talked to quite a few of them and they seem fine to me, seems to me that they're sick of the drama and frankly so am I, can't you guys be grateful we still have a forums? They try to put a stop to drama and you keep making more, and a lot of them just want this place to be fun and peaceful and I don't understand what's with all this hate. If you have that many problems with how things are run, why not try talking reasonably with the staff instead of complaining about them, talking trash, and overall acting like children?
Sorry if this is coming off as rude, but I'm out of energy and patience for drama irl and on the forums, so if I come off as rude, that's why, sorry.

Actually fun fact, everyone here is over 13 as it's for the rules. Next, the staff doesn't need to be the only ones who can be mature on here, everyone else can be mature too.

what do you expect the mods to do? Bro, we all have lives and frankly all of the admins and mods need to figure out what's going on and how to fix stuff while they're all online. Pausing OTD is the best way to do so until that time and it pauses things for the time being. Childish is whining about things you don't like.
