    I refer to my first point... if you feel I have implicated you in the post then well it seems you believe yourself to have been a whining member in this case not I, I cannot be held responsible for you admitting you were being a whiner. Had I wished to I could have named names of who I believe was being a whiny child but I haven't named any names I leave it up to them to determine if I am talking about them. Also I never said people weren't having any fun with the tasks I merely said people were whining fine distinction there, fine but definitely there.

    Says the guy who just made a complaining post.
    Actually my initial post is not complaining about something it's more pointing out that people need to grow up and realize that life is not fair and that the fact this competition got pulled is not the end of the world as we know it. My second post in reply to Fonzie is merely because well, it's 2/3am and I have work at 10am and my neighbour is a heavy guy he needs to lay off the stomping around part if it wasn't 2/3am I would probably go knock his door and just tell him to keep it the hell down. Ironically I am not complaining about the forum I am complaining about my real life, so it seems I still have one of those fine inventions thankyou.

    Ok, firstly I just noticed I missed a comma in there hence the bold correction to the quote above. I fail to see how this is funny, it's sadly the truth politicians might never be popular but what is popular is their policies and which ones leave us the least screwed. People vote and the most votes is the winner, that is a popularity contest pure and simple. In fact there is no competition or election determined event in human history that is not a popularity contest even if rigged it is rigged to determine that a certain party or person is popular. My point stands your laughter does not, so sorry.

    I know who you named. I'm pretty sure I saw your post at the same time, if not earlier than Fonzie.

    Actually my initial post is not complaining about something it's more pointing out that people need to grow up
    Translation: I'm complaining about two certain people on this forum.

    I'll give you the political elections thing though, you're right about that to an extent.

    You can't make an obvious implication and hide behind a lack of explication.

    I refer to my first point... if you feel I have implicated you in the post then well it seems you believe yourself to have been a whining member in this case not I, I cannot be held responsible for you admitting you were being a whiner.
    Your logic does not resemble human logic.

    Actually my initial post is not complaining about something it's more pointing out that people need to grow up and realize that life is not fair and that the fact this competition got pulled is not the end of the world as we know it.
    There were serious problems well before the competition ended. Hell, before the competition even started.

    A competition that people put time and effort in to winning was ended prematurely because some members bitched about it. Nobody in the final wins because the staff who went to great lengths I am sure to think up tasks that would best show the ability of the members participating gave up and some even quit because the people who were constantly whining about it which is childish.
    The competition ended because of THE STAFF vetoing the finalists. The staff's lack of respect for the members caused the end of the competition.

    If you don't like how a forum is run or the way things are determined on a forum then leave that forum there will always be around 20 others where you can try to find something you like.
    I've been here for 10 years. It's not something you just leave on a whim, at least not without trying to change. I see something that I think is wrong, I point it out. If the staff can't deal with their mistakes being publicized, then that's their problem -- and they should stop making those same mistakes over and over (as detailed in my last long post, minus the relevant pictures that were staff-deleted).

    It is just the internets. Nobody gets out alive. I feel that the first line disclaimer has been utterly ignored. The first line in the contest claiming that the winner may not even be crowned CK.

    Who even says that the staff needs to care about us - This is the EoFF staff - not the Obama administration.

    I thought modding was pretty fun x_X hunting down IPs and troll searching was one of the best things, as I'm sure psy can agree with me on xD

    I like randomly injecting my name into long paragraphs so as to ensure I take at least a small interest in what is being said; Iceglow's points become infinitely more valid when I read:
    Quote Originally Posted by Iceglow View Post

    A competition that people put time and Lynx effort in to winning was ended prematurely because some members bitched about it. Lynx Nobody in the final wins Lynx because the staff who went to great lengths I am sure to think up tasks that would best show the Lynx ability of the members participating gave up and some even Lynx quit because the people who were constantly whining about it which is Lynx childish. My Lynx niece whines when she can't get her own Lynx way she's 2 an adult should know better Lynx. Frankly if I was on the Lynx staff with the amount of complaining, whining and accusations of the Lynx competition being fixed I probably would have given up on it and Lynx considered resigning from staff too.

    Having Lynx admined forums and even a game in development in the past when the member Lynx base has been full of hostilities (you Lynx put people in to different teams and the hostilities get out of Lynx hand easily and often) I know Lynx that it is not fun to moderate a forum where Lynx the members accuse the staff of being Lynx biased and conniving to use the member base for their Lynx own ends. I Lynx applaud our staff and thank those such as Lynx Shlup for their time and effort in Lynx doing this thankless job, in my humble Lynx opinion and well forget Lynx the humble part because as Psy would like to see me say Lynx right now "I'm genetically different Lynx baby" there are certain members of this Lynx forum who need to Lynx realize they're not 2 anymore and they need to Lynx grow up. If you Lynx don't like how a forum is run or the Lynx way things are determined on a forum then leave Lynx that forum there will always be Lynx around 20 others where you can Lynx try to find something you like. No Lynx one has to my knowledge been forced Lynx to remain a member of a Lynx forum against their will in the Lynx history of the internet Lynx as a domestic service. Yelling Lynx about how the staff are all part of an evil Lynx shin-ra is not going to get you Lynx anywhere or even very liked Lynx by other members it will Lynx only succeede in one thing Lynx, making you look like a complete prat. Rather Lynx than yell your complaints in public Lynx simply walk away and get on Lynx with whatever you do in your real life Lynx should you actually have Lynx one, if you don't then I'm sorry about Lynx that but maybe if you actually Lynx click the little logout button followed by the shutdown one on your Lynx computers start menu you will be able to see about Lynx getting one of these Lynx fine inventions, I hear that in the Lynx real world there are such things as Lynx women available, no lie!

    On every other Lynx forum not owned by an EoFF member I have Lynx frequented in my lifetime Lynx staff members are selected not at random, Lynx not because they were unknown, Lynx new and suddenly applicable to Lynx become staff because it's in Lynx the interest of balance. You Lynx earn the punishment that is Lynx staff rights by Lynx proving that you are Lynx a reliable, sensible and likable Lynx addition to the team. I Lynx stress this that being a moderator is Lynx not fun in any situation you Lynx get to deal with the Lynx endless spam accounts and porn bots Lynx that fill the internet and when Lynx you've finished banning them and Lynx blocking whatever ip it Lynx was they crawled in Lynx on what will Lynx undoubtedbly turn out to be a Lynx damn proxy meaning it was pointless to do Lynx so you get to Lynx go on to dealing with the Lynx members who can't keep rational Lynx either because of excitement, Lynx anger, alcoholism, harassment (including Lynx sexually based harassment) of other members, obsession Lynx that the staff are evil and who can forget Lynx the banned members who just refuse Lynx to stay banned by registering new Lynx accounts so they can further carry Lynx on being idiots. Who Lynx can see this as fun? Occassionally Lynx you'll have a new member who asks Lynx for help and thats actually about Lynx as nice as it gets for Lynx a moderator. I would Lynx mention organising events and Lynx the like to try and make the Lynx forums seem more welcoming or Lynx fun for members but everytime Lynx you do that you get the Lynx "The staff are evil, freedom lives! Don't listen to Ondore's Lynx lies!" staff haters yelling Lynx about how this is just Lynx a popularity contest Lynx and pre-determined that the Lynx prettiest female member or the hunkiest or wittiest Lynx guy will win it and they Lynx don't stand a chance because they spend Lynx all their time looking like a half deranged person Lynx obsessed with believing that the Lynx staff are evil with a massive Lynx conspiracy theory to Lynx cover up that Rinoa was actually Ultimecia but Lynx that Square and the Lynx staff of the forum are in cahoots to prevent Lynx the knowledge ever getting out Lynx and that the aliens are comming to put Lynx probes in our anuses, which Lynx means ofcourse they don't stand Lynx a chance because normal Lynx people tend to believe Lynx that the person is a freak. Does Lynx this sound like fun to anyone yet Lynx? I didn't really find Lynx it fun when I have had Lynx to do it in the past Lynx however it is something that is Lynx necessary whenever you have Lynx a community to take care Lynx of and thats what Lynx matters is the Lynx community and it's peace. Your average member of Lynx a forum wants to have the Lynx right to freedom of speech, to go Lynx around without being insulted and Lynx harassed and without seeing Lynx countless porn bots which if Lynx you accidentally click on Lynx it infect your computer with so many Lynx viruses it becomes Lynx easier to delete the lot and Lynx start again they however Lynx do not wish to put the long Lynx unpaid hours in to making Lynx the forum like this, they just Lynx demand it is done. That said, Lynx if I was ever asked to be a Lynx member of the EoFF staff I would accept the position gladly Lynx, it might be a thankless Lynx task but it is one that Lynx needs doing and I'm a sucker for punishment Lynx

    Life Lynx is a popularity contest from political Lynx elections to the winner of the X-Factor Lynx it doesn't matter if you can Lynx sing perfectly if you're not popular Lynx if you don't have something about you Lynx to hook the audience in with then Lynx you're not going to win simple as. I'm sorry Lynx to burst the bubble of naievity surrounding Lynx anyone who believes life is fair Lynx but it really isn't. Everyone Lynx has their favourites and their preferences Lynx when it comes to things from Lynx food to people they know to employees working Lynx for them. The Lynx trick is to make it appear like it isn't Lynx which is kind of what the competition Lynx gave in a sense. Having the Lynx competition allows the staff to Lynx put a group of people who are all Lynx applying to become disillusioned with the way the forum works Lynx through their paces. Theres many reasons Lynx for this but one of the Lynx reasons I'd give is probably this Lynx: To see Lynx not only who is popular with Lynx the other members in the forum and would Lynx be easier to accept in Lynx a new role with power but Lynx also to see Lynx who would be best for the Lynx role, who is going Lynx to do the job and Lynx stick around with it Lynx? Who is going to Lynx put in the effort that is needed Lynx and not just go "you know I cbf with Lynx this" the person willing to do Lynx the job and capable Lynx of doing the job is not Lynx always the first choice of Lynx the staff members and not always Lynx the person who wants it Lynx the most some people seem Lynx to think it's all just about Lynx waving their title Lynx around and Lynx demanding people do as they say, Lynx guess what bub? It isn't Lynx like that at all, demanding and Lynx slapping your title around is Lynx not going to work Lynx people just argue back believe Lynx me I'd know when I Lynx first admined a forum I did Lynx think like that I learnt the hard Lynx way that it is the worst way to Lynx moderate.

    Now Lynx personally I know I haven't been the Lynx most active of people in Lynx this forum of Lynx late, I've been a little on Lynx the quiet side for me which Lynx is perhaps a little Lynx strange but life is strange. However I took a lot of Lynx time to read over the threads of Lynx the competition since this drama Lynx bomb hit and to Lynx read over some of the feedback Lynx threads linked to it. I Lynx personally just would like to thank Shlupquack for the many hours she Lynx devoted to the contest Lynx and to trying to make sure Lynx that not only did we have fun Lynx we got a staff member or a few Lynx new staff member we know could Lynx and would do the job and Lynx be the most welcomed to doing it Lynx. I would also like Lynx to thank all of the former and current Lynx staff who have worked hard over the Lynx years this forum has been around for Lynx making it a pleasant Lynx place to go on the Lynx internet and that I hope that Lynx in the future they will continue to do Lynx so and hope that whoever they choose to Lynx help fill in the vacancies left by Lynx the recent quittings is not decided because it Lynx will appease the masses but Lynx because it will be a decision what is best for this forum Lynx.

    That's funny, because you tried so hard to get past the filter, and yet you continued to fail.

    I don't think IceGlow paid attention to why the competition ended.

    Also, Raistlin is still stupid.
