I'm sorry for being overly blunt, but I feel this is too naive for me to process. I mean I get that this was a hard time for everyone to go through, especially for the people who loved this forum because it had a really nice community, including me.
That said, while I respect the statement that you've released to us, and have taken measures (like Steve resigning and passing the ownership), I feel like this is not enough for wanting me to come back.
Let me start with Erica getting admin off the bat. At first, I was very skeptical about it. To me, it felt like a power grab, and with the statement that she co-owns the server felt like a slap in the back. However, I did appreciate Erica clarifying her position, with it being temporary. Along with other people mentioning that she can be trusted is something that I can also trust as well.
As for Jake, I've already apologized to you, for the things that I have may done (any petty squabbles that I had with you over the past few days), however, if I may, I don't think that you should be in the position of power. I may not have been affected as much as the other staff that left, you did a number to them, and you are one of the two people that have been part of the allegations against PC in the first place. I'd rather have Rika, Janna, and Cowrie to co-own the forum, with Erica to help, but I don't think that I trust you with leading this forum, atleast not now anyways, while the issue is still hot.
There is also another issue. There's a certain user (you know who, but for the sake of the people who don't, I won't name them, someone else can because I don't give a fuck) that was banned after multiple accounts of users citing harassment towards them, was then unbanned after a few moments. They still run around in this forum, unscathed, and to me, I'm very shocked that the ban was reversed in the first place. I protest that they'd be permabanned.
Finally, I didn't like how majority of the people who replied so far were willing to forgive and forget everything just to save this forum. Look, I loved PC to death. I can't stand not visit this forum every chance I get, and it has been a part of my life for 8 years, but this controversy felt like a stab in the heart. It's not easy forgiving the mistakes that have been done. As someone told me, PC isn't defined by its owner, but by its community, and I love the people who stood up and walked away, because those people know what is morally right. I don't blame the young people who don't know what the hell happened. It's not their fault, and I understand that. What I can't stomach is the people who know what their doing, and still praise PC like nothing happened.
Tl;dr: I don't think I would return to PC that soon, or ever, until these conditions are met:
Jake steps down as admin, and relinquishes ownership to Rika, Janna, and Cowrie (Erica can stay as admin, as long as it is deemed necessary for her to be there)
Certain user gets banned like they are rightfully deserved to be
Transparency between the staff and users. That includes between hstaff and lower staff. None of this top secret bull.
Until then.
