Nice jam session, I actually only listened to the beginning part where I heard actual Mario stuff then just skimmed through the rest.
So......to more important matters, this whole thing was certainly a turn of events. I come in one day and Pant is now on the other end of the banstick (not saying that Pant is banned or will be banned for this thread, just making a general statement on how things can go down if you decide to just forget your moral values as a human and decide to turn). I respect ya and all, Pant, and I think you did a great job while you were a mod, but why did you all of a sudden decide that you needed to express your inner soul in that manner to get you removed from the staff? Sure being part of any type of staff requires discipline and maturity at times, but too much of a good thing is just not needed. There were times where you weren't totally a hardass, and it was cool. Any type of staffing position requires that each staff member can also take time to create friendships within their workers (members in this case of a forum), and doing so requires more of a casual, laid-back attitude. If you combine this lesser-strict attitude with an attitude that at times it is mandatory to do your job respectably and truthfully, then you will gain the respect of each and every member (staff and regular) on the board.
And no XXBD or whatever the hell initials you go by, I will not close this at the moment because I think that people can talk (or type in this case) in a manner that can be both flaming and talking respectably; it's the type of talk that all of the Flame Wars should use. At times it can be fun to just rant and rave on a topic, but it is much more interesting when somebody gives their reasons as to why they chose their position.
