I'm bored so just thought I'd post about this and see what you think. Well Chris Street/Circy has posted on his site that he is thinking of quitting TDC and possibly Klik-me. He says he is "less tempted" to leave the DC but from the comments on his site it seems like he wants to quit pretty badly (to me anyway).
I don't know if you're just a bit moody lately (no offence intended) and his post was just a rant, but I think if you're going to quit you may as well do so now. I don't particularly agree with the comments you made neither about admins being lazy and referring to the DC as an "asylum". At the end of the day we're just having a bit of fun and there are some of us who just joke around a lot - without them this place would be more boring . And I don't think its a "shambles" neither but yeh that's just my opinion.
In your post you seemed to moan a bit, and I think if you want to quit deep down, then you should just do it. I don't think posting comments about it is the right way to do it - it's just disrespectful in my opinion, considering the amount of work Rikus, Clubsoft and other admins have put into the DC. Clubby and Rikus have been doing the new site, even though they actually have lives - and other admins have been helping with the DC game and helping out on the forums. So personally I don't have a clue what you're talking about - if you could point out specifics then please do so.
In my opinion you're being "over-dramatic" and I hope you don't quit - I mean some of us here have done you favours you know? Like sticking up for you when people started slagging you off and such. So I hope you decide to stay - cos you are a nice guy. Anyway if anyone else has views on this, or wants to completely have a go at me, then please do it here!
He threatens to quit every time there's dharma. Terrible sword of damocles, that one. I don't care if he does or doesn't, just so long as he does it quietly. Though I suppose him not being able to declare he's going to ban everybody every couple of months would be nice.
Well I personally think Circy is one of the best admins. Since he's quite active, in posting news, writing on the boards, approving new games. The setback of that is that you are bound to get a lot of shit your way. Admins are basicly like the police and nobody likes them either .
It would be regrettable if he left as an admin here at TDC and I would consider that a loss and not a gain. But hey if you gotta quit then that's okay.
The point about him writing it on his site doesn't really concern me because everybody seems to do that in bloggs (or whatever they are called) nowadays anyway.
Dude, Circys the best admin...I kinda agree with him though. This place is full of crap and junk. I remember fist coming to this site about three years ago and there actually some good content on the forums. There are some people that should be banned too...I think I should get out my dog to eat some kitties...
Regardless of the fact that in the past, Circy and I have had our battles & disagreements, I still rather I didnt quit, and I agree that rules should be taking slightly more seriously around the site, but I also dont agree that turning the place into a prison cell is going to make anything better. We need a happy medium and so far, & viewing things in Circys eyes, the admins havent really done much to enforce the rules around here. That doesnt mean they are lazy though. Anyway, some small scale changes could be made, but then again, a ransom of quitting vs making changes, isnt what I would decided, expecially when there are unfortiently, alot of people on this site, that would be all for Circy quitting. Personally, I think we just need to let him know about the other half that doesnt. All for Circy staying at DC, here here!
I agree that Circy is one of the best admins - although recently his activity has been pretty low. And I'd rather he not quit - I just think that maybe it would have been better to discuss these problems with Rikus/Club privately than maybe make such a big deal about it publicly. Just my opinion anyway - and I think he won't quit, but if he does then there's not much that can be done. I personally don't see any problem with members - and I don't think anyone deserves to be banned really. Unless I just haven't been here often
Anyway Chris please stay - you may not like some people here, and they may not like you, but you still have friends.
Yeah but he'll probably piss off away from the community anyway. Although I fail to understand how anybody could leave a website.
"http://www.create-gam..."
"Nope, I promised myself I would never visit back to that evil, evil website."
They're either trying to prove something, which is always the case and by prove something I mean they're really annoyed by something so they announce their leaving of the vile community and actually manage to leave for 6 weeks. Checking back a few weeks to see if his sudden voyage has affected anyone. It hasn't and in the end realizes that you can't leave a website because it's fucking stupid.
Hey at least I haven't spammed around the place advertising that I'm thinking of leaving, you know? I've only posted my thoughts and opinions on the matter on my own website, and nowhere else, because I feel it's wrong to bash everything here.
Irritatingly though that as soon as I post that, the site actually gets recoded... miracles DO happen! And now I feel pretty stupid. But never mind.
My activity has been pretty low the past week because I was on holiday. In bed, ill, and fed up.
I've been thinking of quitting Klik-Me for ages (if you don't believe me Radix, check out the staff forums, I posted some time ago). The majority of the reviews and previews there have been written by myself
I didn't realise it was a crime to have thoughts on leaving administrational duties anyway. I've been doing the job for over three years now, and loads of stuff has happened. Stuff that I've caused, stuff that I've inadvertantly caused, stuff that I didn't cause, stuff that I didn't deserve. I don't want to think that I'm trying to garner up some sympathy "Don't go Chris, please don't" votes, because I'm not. End of the day, it's my site, I can say whatever I want to on there. I do feel that saying I'm holding a ransom of quitting as a threat is a low blow as I never, ever blackmail anyone.
No drama ever intended. Just posting up my thoughts. As I said to Wartagon in an email, I hardly ever follow up on things anyway. If I had posted my thoughts here, I can imagine Rikus or Clubsoft stripping me of any admin privilages anyway, thus making the decision for me. And rather than starting up topics in an effort to get answers from me, why don't you send me a mail?
Anyway, I think that three years of administrator abuse is more than enough. Maybe it is time to hand over my part to someone else. I've tried. I feel I've more than done my bit for this community. But then again, maybe a small inkling is holding me here, trapped. As I said I haven't decided and I won't decide overnight, but these negative feelings have been building up for a while now, since around the summer period, in fact.
