I think we are in the process of moving on. Gary is still a little worked up, but I think that involves smashed Pontiacs and Vicodin.

I don’t know if you’ve followed the behind the scenes chaos on the site over the past two weeks, but it has been really fucked up basically. Gary tilt deleted the IST (literally half the site’s content), Tapper deleted all of his posts, Gary has been calling for his account to be deleted as well etc.
The only reason I am writing this posts is because these problems have made one thing very clear. There is no way for this forum to function without a last resort, clear defined decision maker. The place almost imploded. None of this would have gotten to the point it did had I been able to issue a moratorium on emotional decisions lol. Everyone keeps using what they think you would do as an excuse for certain actions, and I know you have always wanted to be hands off, so I have a proposition: sell me a majority ownership of the site.
This would change absolutely nothing, but it would give me an out to negotiating forum crisis situations and repairing their damage. Gary wanted his account deleted in a fit of emotional drunken rage for example, and had I not stepped in, he would have gotten his wish, which he clearly didn’t really want. He is posting now more than ever.
This made me catch a ton of shit from the others because it’s “. . .not [my] contentâ€, just like with the IST that can be restored. I don’t actually want to own anything, this has nothing to do with that, but it has become increasingly clear that a few of the guys really enjoy the place and all I want to do is make sure a few rogue fags don’t destroy it for the rest of us. The IST is a prime example of this.
What I am proposing is this (even though this would all be a formality): 30% you, 70% me, and I will give away 19% ownership to a few that have been instrumental in keeping the place going, especially Blake.
The hosting and domain come up for renewal in November, and if you accept, I will take over all responsibility for keeping the site running. I’m pretty sure this would require no action on your part too. I will keep it running with the agreement of keeping the place online as long as people are visiting to read all of the madness everyone has shared about the fucked up world we live in, and you as the founder would still of course able to keep creative control on the content i.e., banning monsters like the ape. The shared ownership also benefits us all in the sense that in one of our absence, the place can still function properly.
The site will absolutely never be monetized either, if you agree, unless the place blows up for some reason and it would be retarded not to do so.
Let me know what you think. I would eventually like to install vBulletin 4 and implement all of the kickass plugins and features that have been released for it, but so far, haven't had the motivation to do so.
It's yours for the price of $0.00. I don't need 30% of anything, just a place I can ramble (i.e. think); I cannot think unless I'm writing and unless I'm writing (ostensibly) for someone other than myself to read, well then - ROFL, as hard as this would be to believe - my writing gets a little messy. A little incoherent but then of course it's coherent to me.
Theoretically. I wouldn't read it myself, but then I already know what I think.
Just not until I've thought it.
______
On a more interesting tangent, I've been answering PMs privately of late which is annoying; but only because I have been using my Galaxy S3 which doesn't seem to like the forum software but then I don't have a clue about these things. Will vBulletin 4 be more phone-friendly perchance? These are the important things I care about.
The politicking of the emotional toddlers can be entertaining but mostly I can't keep track; I haven't read the IST in surely a year or two, I glanced in the Admin forum by accident one day but I truly believe that were it not for "privacy", there would be almost no conflict in the world.
I'm yet to hear a logical argument in defence of privacy's virtues but then I imagine that's only because privacy doesn't have any. But I think I know why no one cares about these things.
After all, conflict is fun!
I imagine it would be when you have nothing else and when you've been conditioned by Power to be insane.
You could be a 32 year old virgin / chaser of "women children"; still living at home with your mother who calls the cops to deal with what she was never in the position to imagine she could or should have given birth to. I mean, if your 32 year old child locks himself in the bathroom for so long that you have to call the cops, am I perhaps reading too much into it or gosh but do you think maybe you'd have done "mothering" wrong?
You could be a leech who sucks the life out of the world with your toxic horrifying emotional poison that is pure exploitation (the exploited always imagine they are impossibly shrewd and crafty; but there is nothing more horrifying than the powerless imagining they have power and are fooling everybody).
You could be a couple three decades overdue on being put down, is what I'm saying; but you'll still have your pride.
It's what people have when they have nothing to hang their emotional coat on, or a coat to hang on something. It's what people have when they've failed to do a single thing they can be proud of in their entire lives of imposing their misery onto Humanity and blaming horrified humans and former humans for projecting their misery back onto them.
Pride. It's not remotely a bad thing to have, when you have pride in yourself. But it's always seemed to me that the worse I feel about myself, the more nauseatingly I attempt to sell other people on my inherent 'value'. I think pride is something that you only really dwell on when you no longer believe you have the capacity to be of value.
The inherently valueless sure do love their pride, though. They just cannot make a convincing case for why they have any. There's a different word for that, and it's got nothing to do with pride.
I think the word for that is Insanity.
____
It's not that I don't really want responsibility. My laziness is a pretext. The Truth is I'm just being polite when I say that. I don't want to be responsible for what isn't likely to make me proud.
I don't mind responsibility. I just haven't met anyone worth being responsible for. Well I did, but they died because I could not kill the Whore who I knew would kill them.
I love people who love themselves. I loathe people who imagine they love themselves when the truth is they hate everybody. When you hate everybody, you're not going to love your Self. How ludicrous is that idiotic lie sold to narcissists by sociopaths?
It's funny that Society markets "sociopaths" as naughty and dangerous (read: cool and powerful, in the minds of powerless Toddlers) but the truth is that everyone is a sociopath. Mike is a sociopath; he's just not a good one. You'll only ever hear about him when he becomes a 'good' one; i.e. starts raping women children but Christ he's so fucking stupid, he'd literally get caught so quickly it's a relief.
The Truth is, you don't hear about the good sociopaths. That's because they don't rape the women children. Well, they do; but they do it the 'right' way.
They make the women children believe it's what they want to do.
All the other sociopaths like Mike sigh wistfully; "maybe one day..."
But that day will never come for them. So they will do it the 'wrong' way. That's what prisons are for. But they should be filled with the mothers of the sons that occupy them.
The reason I need Mike silenced is because he will scream for the next 30 years for the same reasons he has screamed for the last 30. I might not have a year left and I'd just as soon spend it _not_ flashing back to the horror of my childhood where everyone - literally everyone - thought they were so fucking shrewd and genius with their demented emotional craftiness. Mike is a screaming image of my mother.
He screams like every exploited screamer Society creates. They all scream like exploited women. Gosh but I cannot imagine why...?
Hitchcock understood a thing or two about 'Humanity'. He knew exactly why people are inhumane. They were raised to be presentable in public; and well...you're going to get some 'winners' and you're going to get some Mikes. But no one wins.
It's all about privacy. I'm literally not demented enough to try and impose my brilliance onto the shrewd or I'd (idiotically) imagine I was being shrewd by attaching preconditions like "you can have the forum but only if you get rid of all PMs and private social groups".
See, where Mike and Norman Bates are alike is they would feel this was impossibly shrewd. Yeah I'm not that stupid because I'm not a mother and I'm nothing like the exploited women of this horrifying world.
I don't make people do what they do not want to do; not because it's immoral or wrong or bad or evil. I don't make people do what they do not want to do because either you have the power to be in the position to control or you would be insane to imagine you could tell other people what to do.
Mike (and 90% of former humans) feel like they are in the position to tell other people to do what they want them to do; without giving a flying fuck about what anyone wants. It's what they want OKAY!? Just listen to them, they'll scream at you. They'll tell you all fucking day what their opinions are and what they want you to do (if you let them). They'll never have power in their entire fucking lives. Literal toddlers outplay them in games of power. Like 2 year olds manipulate their demented faces.
The other 10% of former humans trick the 90% into giving them control.
They're good but I'm better.
I only want Toddlers to do what they want to do. It's going to look like this for awhile but then you gotta be careful with your emotional degradation or you could smear horror onto something which might not be ideal but then how horrifying could something be if it's what you want to do?
Does it matter how you came to imagine you wanted to do what you want to do?
You best be careful with that emotional degradation of yours. In a sane world, the things you have been led to believe you want to do are a little more horrifying than kids looking to be "grownup" before they've grown up.
Ok. I just want to point out that absolutely nothing changes. I do not want creative control of anything, never have. That is up to everybody. I just don't want content deleted unless it is an extreme situation like the one that was recently handled, and even then, there should be more of a democratic process. Even future site design will only be done if everyone is happy with it. This was always the idea from the start, but things got out hand over the years. Content deletion absolutely wrecks the site on a technical level, and as Bob has said for all of us ". . .wholesale deletion fucks with my artistic vision and cheapens my work".
It is the equivalent of selfishly ripping pages out of a book that was collectively written. This is the internet, and it's probably not that serious but still.
Also, Scooter is permanent Skatz royalty as the founder here, and any bans etc. he wants will always be enacted.

To be fair, his Hitchcock analysis and analogy to make his argument is pretty fucking brilliant and applies to many different things. If and when I use that in the future, I'll have to cite Scooter. Rarely do I read a few sentences that make 1000 things in my mind click together, and I never thought of the original Psycho with that sort of emphasis.

Its obv you like dudes like I do, so how about she trade cock pics?
I'm not into dudes dude. I just have lots of gay friends.
I actually used to be able to do possibly SE QLD's finest gay impression. Like people would lose their minds. I can't do it now or I'd make a video. It was my finest party trick, instant adoration. Of course everyone would think I was actually gay afterwards even though they knew I was entertaining.
