To be honest and express what i feel about these forums....
I feel as though it isn't a democracy as it should be but is more of a dictatorship on the forums..
Now I'm not putting Joey or anyone in the spotlight here but, a good example of Dictatorship Would be the Unofficial Staff Application and hire from that thread with no global announcements of whats new and whats trending with the ranks, (its just an opinion, not pointing fingers)
I feel as though, what we as the members of this community doesn't get a say as to what goes on here, its either do it my way or get banned, thats how i see,observe it as.
now, that being said, im leaving here, SMBX, i may come back it all depends, I haven't made much SMBX stuff in a while and I've given up making levels and Episodes
i had good ideas on paper but when doing it, it just cant be done for me,
My idea i had was to make a sequel of Super Mario Sunshine and have El Piantsimo as the main antagonist and later make a Paper Luigi, based off of the story in PMTTYD
Going through the Waffle Kingdom and save Princess Enclaire? (dunno how it was spelled)
Well then you clearly haven't been looking hard enough. The staff has been trying to improve the forums and I feel there has been more user input lately. Is there room for improvement? Yes, most definitely! But please, please, PLEASE don't demonize the administrators! They do their best to make sure the community is happy and stable. You haven't a clue how tough their job can be at times.
But leaving is your choice. I wont be one to stop you.
Privana is in no way an "Escape from Joey" or an "Anti-Joey" forum. Me, Blank & Vinyl just wanted a community of our own to get away from this unearthly drama.
We're not stealing members like Deoxys claims, we just are simply asking them to join.
I'm not sure why making our own community is so bad.. :s I didn't know something like this would happen, honestly.
Also, this place is pretty fucking dramatic for a Mario forum.
sleepy out.
You literally started a thread that was 100% bound to lead to drama, and you're leaving this forum because there's too much drama.
Literally the first moment deoxys sent me the pm's was send them to igno and snow so they did with them whatever they wanted on the staff forums, because this is yet another one of those completely autistic "movements" that seeks change in the community because the people who started them got annoyed by something the staff did. I know this is the case because i was the creator of one.
I've come to realize that the reason drama always skyrockets is because people overreact to literally anything the staff do.
"Oh, joey locked the minecraft server thread for it being 100 pages, he's fucking corrupted literally every single staff member"
So you're saying that EVERY MOD IS CORRUPTED?!?!??!? What, because of one person being banned? And you think you can just shift the ownership of the WHOLE FORUM?!?!?!? And the people there are trying to "ESCAPE FROM JOEY?!?!?!?"
"umg joey loked unofficial server so ever staf is corruptrd pls stahp xdddddd"
Not ok, dude. I'm honestly disgusted about what I just read.

He wasn't even banned here though. Let's clear that up. 8bit is banned on IRC, and not here.
The staff fails for aforementioned problems, Deoxys failed for sounding like an arrogant dickweed in the original post and acting like he's the fucking savior of the universe, several other people here have failed for not only giving in to Deoxys's glittering generalities (and jokes that are only funny to him), but also taking the time to act like their life sucks because of drama that can avoided so easily that it requires no ounce of fucking energy at all, and I failed for making this miniature rant-post that denounces everyone.
To sum up my position in two sentences;
Everyone failed today.
Who the fuck should I believe when everyone acts like they're high and mighty over everyone while also keeping over 9,000 secrets from each other that don't need to be secrets in the first place?
If my post made no sense, sorry. I'm just really pissed at...well...everyone.
yesterday i got to second place on agario. it was cool. here's what also happened yesterday:
- minecraft server thread nears 100 pages
- danny starts complaining about 100-page rule on IRC, ends up lashing out at a bunch of people so the staff had to mitigate the situation
- nothing happened to danny on the forums yet for some reason he says he was banned (he isn't, but i suppose someone could've added a ban and quickly removed it)
- i receive word that deoxys is PMing people, i investigate the situation and it doesn't make much sense

It would show up if he was banned and unbanned in the mod logs. That didn't happen. Congrats on the agario though.
What in the actual fuck Deoxys?! While we had planned something out, and I have to say it was quite moronic of us anyhow, our intentions were to never steal the fucking userbase of the forums? I mean, we had plans that I won't openly discuss here, but I wasn't really in on any of it, I was just along for the trip, so I really don't appreciate that the thread revolved around me in my entirety over some stupid incident.
While this was supposed to have civil discussion, you kind of blew it out of the water with your wording of things, which when you had sent me your draft or whatever, I even told you that the wording wasn't what I would have used in something that was to be civil, and I must have completely missed the parts where you pointed out the staff were corrupt, because I don't agree with that part at all. The problem with the staff is that they need to listen to the community more often, and respect needs to be have all around anyway.

I think we're both pretty close to being in synch with each other despite Danny being bipolar and my being autistic. But, hey, it's kinda like the Island of Misfit Toys: don't they all somehow get along because of their abnormalities? I mean, who knows, maybe bipolar is actually on the spectrum of autism?? That would be so cool! I mean Danny isn't a douchebag at all as his signature might have misled you to believe. He just lacks confidence, that's all, just needs a little love.
While I appreciate some sort of positive recognition, I've looked over this and have to disagree to be honest. Bipolar isn't actually on the spectrum of Autism, if it was that would be pretty interesting, but I know for a fact it isn't. Also I don't really see how it being on the spectrum of Autism, if it were that is, would be cool at all.
Also am I really not a douchebag, or is that just your personal preference since you know me rather personally?
Also I was banned when I tried to access the forums on Thursday after that whole problem, so I left it alone up until now, which I guess I'm not banned now.
Sorry, but I have to do this, it's become so fitting:
Official Thread Language
Nah I'm going to go deep and use this song:
I have literally two things to say as I stopped reading the OP after you showed my long rage. First off: I was off my rocker that faithful evening, not myself, super cranky and tired. I can also say I was triggered by one of XerX's posts in the thread a few threads down about 100 page threads and all that jazz. Do I excuse my behavior because 1. I had an unstable ticking bomb as a temper 2. I was triggered by provocative behavior? No. Unlike your leader, 8bit, who is taking absolutely no responsibility for his statements towards users to kill themselves. I'm actually applogizing because I made some pretty rude statements and that's no way a moderator should behave in any fashion.
Next, I'm trying to get Joey to remove me of all my duties. Why? Well I'm just going to tell you guys (assuming you didn't know already) that we, the staff, found pretty quickly the plan Deoxys and 8bit had to get a group of random users who have claimed to be shit on by the staff. My reasoning is that I feel outright betrayed by most of you because about half of the group just so happened to be friends of mine, or so I thought. I don't want to moderate knowing people are against me. I hate having enemies. That's all I have to say on that. Glad to know I submitted myself to such a selfish group of people.
Now I'm going to make an uneducated guess and say that you guys want a new person to lead the community, no? If this is correct, answer a few questions:
-Who do you as a majority choose? It better be a mature user who knows how to handle a whiny community like this and learn to make choices not everyone will like. (Hint: don't choose XerX because he's already proven unworthy this last month)
-Going off my uneducated guess and saying that if you actually get a new forum for the community, how open will you be to other users and their opinions & suggestions, no matter how silly they may be?
-What was your ACTUAL reasoning behind this? Was it because the Minecraft thread was archived because of a silly forum rule you could have easily shrugged off or was it because you didn't get what you want in general?
-What is your favorite Creedence Clearwater Revival song?

Nobody was banned on Thursday except for Mista Epic's dupe account and one of suckhacker's dupes as well.
8bit was right.
This forum is dying.
People here in this forum are acting like, as I said many times before, nothing changes, now Silverdeoxys as gone ape shit and turned into a full Jesus freak on Joey, many people who work here would know how stressful it is to keep the rules flowing and banning these constant shitposters who came out of now where, Now I know what a permabann looks like and it's not that nice, but I do know that CONSTANT BITCHING IS WRONG. There is a point where we NEEDED to stop but we keep going, this has been happening since the time Koolkat got permabanned and the time where knux deleted his forum, I have been here for about a year and I'll say this, if you want some complete change, make your own damn forum, Joey has made some HUGE changes around here and yet you people keep bitching him like he's gonna change this entire forum, but to the extent where you people call him a fucking communist? a dictator? no, stop, if you wanted to see some real dictation you should have been there at the original forum, with the original shitty admins, including Redigit himself. The forums have make great changes and decisions, like the time Darkmatt quit and kley loss his job, not to mention the promotion of Peudo-dino and the ever so loved Take down of the minecraft server (I don't even know why it was discontinued, some please specify).
And to doexys: If you think you can write a full report on an advertisement and get away with it, not to mention the most dramatic leaving of all time, you suck, God can not help you with everything, and he sure won't help you here.
In a nutshell - Shut the hell up and migrate - Superiorstar
