So... a BRAND NEW member, a member hardly anyone likes, and a douche... will be in charge of locking threads?

Sounds awesome!

In charge of locking channels and judging spheres they have yet to see.

OMG hahaha

Corpse, I'd rather keep all the chatter and debate in this thread.

You asked about Argos and Christian for the umpteenth time.

Here was my response to the question one of the three times you asked it:


Here was another tidbit I wrote about Argos:


Then there was this:

Corpse is cracking.

He can't even handle an election.

By continuing to run, you will force the core of KJ to become extremely active in voting against you.

Hey Chip, remember how you received one vote?



lol

It was my brother. I made him vote.

I'm disappointed with a lot of you. I expected this from some, but it's sad to see nonetheless.

Over the past few weeks, many of you have contact me in private and explained what an awful idea this was, what a farce it would become and how I would regret my decision. I had a different opinion, I had faith in the user base, and I thought them capable of acting as adults.

I did this because it's the only way the forum can remain. I can think of 10 outstanding candidates for this job, but no one wants the job. It's thankless: you're forced to deal with smart, intelligent posters who choose to transpose their negative emotion onto others using this forum. They do so in such a hateful and demeaning manner that it breeds a negative emotion that festers, an emotion that has driven off so many of the best this place had to offer. The quality that remains comes far less often, only able to stand what's left in small doses.

I chose to give this forum to it's users. From the beginning, it's been designed as a home for those who were displaced, and I wanted to give that home back to the users, let them collectivelly run it as they wished and elect whomever they wanted. During this process, many have gone out of their way to say how foolish the process is, and ironically, it's many of those same users who act in a way that undermines the outcome, creating the idiocy that has overcome this election. But the election must continue, this forum has no future without it.

Torrino, you specifically have shown poor judgement, and you've acted with a lack of respect toward your fellow candidate. You're intelligent, yet arrogant. Smart, yet ignorant. Witty, yet daft. You're young and it shows. You played into this charade when I need you most to help dissipate it.

I still think both candidates are fully capable of running this forum. I think they're both very similar: both are smart, and both have a past. Growth and change are two of the most important aspects of life, we will all make mistakes, it's how we move forward that matters. I hope both candidates are able to reflect back and grow from this situation, the forum needs you both.
