i got word of wind abt how toxic this place is and in all honesty thats really terrible yknow :-( i was gonna come here and have a decidedly good time but then im reading all of these threads and? wow. its really unfortunate that things have escalated so much to the point that people are leaving because they feel both unsafe and unwanted here
thats not what this place is intended to be, and seeing the reputation that it's won is saddening :-/
idk i dont know why im here or what im trying to say but im sorry @ those who have been placed in such uncomfortable situations because Some People are just not accepting of everyone in 2016. im sorry that the mods who have pledged to protect this place fail to do so (and i've heard that it's not an issue related to all.. like ive heard rosewell and some other mod have been very attentive, so this is more directed towards the others who abuse their status). im sorry that this place has manifested into what it is today... a malicious and rather infuriating place no less and i havent even been here for longer than 5 mins if you guys wanna talk anything out, im here to lend an ear and if you're just here to read this or you're going off to bed or what have you, i hope you have a nice rest of the evening !

Unfortunately you joined at a bad time. There are a lot of leadership issues right now due to the owner neing extremely inactive, and that in turn has sparked a lot of confrontation, minsunderstandings, and drama. I'd suggest steering clear of OTD for now; this will hopefully be cleared up in a couple of days.

samothrace Ugh that disaster. That whole thing can be blamed on tomo's incompetence as an owner, but that's a sore forum subject so. Anyway, my day's been decent. This whole week has been rather tiring, since a lot of stuff has been going on. Not to mention my dog decided to wake me up this morning at five - an hour before I normally get up - and keep me up for the next forty five minutes with constant whining for no apparent reason. How about you?

very sweet of you, thank you! management is taking care of the problem by tightening restrictions and we will soon get mini mods to help cut down on "flame wars" in OTD specifically. i know you came in at a low point, but i'm confident that means the rest of your experiences here will increase in pleasantness (:

Makes it sound like we're a bunch of dysfunctional Wal-Mart employees arguing over whose turn it is to escort the inappropriately behaving store regular out of the store.

Dᴀɴɴʏ Pʜᴀɴᴛᴏᴍ that's not even inaccurate hopefully the "regulars" become less regular with the new rule, though. warning levels are the forum version of "sir, walmart policy dictates you cannot behave in this way"

How about you? yeah i heard ?? that tomo has been awol?? mia?? g o n e which, idk, as a forum admin, you'd presume that they'd at least have a bit more respect for the place. ofc im not gonna tie them down forever and say that, because they created these secondary boards that they're condemned, but they need to implement some plan in case something like this happens bec, to my knowledge, tomo is the only one with complete ownership and if they're not here to take care of the place- a platform used by hundreds (i presume), then it's really gonna start crumbling as we can see. that, and their lack of enforcement of the rules but i mean... well its good to hear that you've had a rather fine day though; definitely beats a terrible one. though ! here's to hoping that tomorrow goes super well for you. sorry to hear about being woken up early !! :-( thats never fun because im sure you like your sleep as much as i do. what dog do you have? and i've been extremely stressed believe it or not !! report card grades just went in and i had a panic attack over one of the grades a few days earlier which Was Not Fun (and completely irrational once i found out that i had miscalculated). that., and im also commanding my team at a competition this weekend and neither i nor the team are ready, so i've been biting my nails to the beds because of the amt of stress :-/ itll all pass with the weekend though, so im really hoping for monday to shimmy along

Negativity isn't going to help this place if that's what we'll think of how to repair things. It'll change, it just needs some time.

yeah, i agree. with time comes change.. but my sole advice to you guys, as an outsider, is to really look at what some of the people /are/ saying about the issues. you and rosewell are doing a great job of listening to the concerns of everybody else, but there are a lot of things that are slipping through the cracks. its too much work for the two of you alone, but i do applaud you guys with what you have done and what you plan to do in the future you guys are the ones with the power and the titles, so it's, essentially, up to you guys to enforce this change. not a lot will happen without the direct involvement of the moderators

we're planning on accepting applications for Junior Mods once we get that set up, but I think for the night, we're pretty much beat. I have hope we can turn it around.

Hehe you should have been here when Tomorrow's Hero had a hissy fit and deleted the whole Discussion board for 2 days because we were telling the mods about the things that we were hoping to change for the forums to make it a better place.
That little incident is the reason why I really don't like most of the mods right now. It still really gets on my nerves.

And the fact that tomo left so soon after these forums were created is kind of suspicious, imo. It's almost like he just did it for the fame.
