Even if you're only deleting 10 forums, that is still a colossally dramatic change that still gives the impression of a toxic atmosphere! Even just one less trafficked forum being deleted will cause members to be up in arms and scares away the rational and intelligent members who counteract the horribly n00bish members that so greatly agitate staff members! The horribly n00bish members would be the only ones who remain! I don't know about you, but I'd be deterred from a site populated by such n00bs if it were my first time stumbling across it!

Maybe you should consider taking a step down if you can't handle an LoA. Not having any restraint is something that I don't think's good in a moderator. I'll remove CBC if I see it's appropriate to remove it, however.
I am handling my LoA perfectly fine. I see a report there which I have no intention to do, so you should be pleased with me. This is such an important matter that I have to post about, so yeaaaaaah. Either way, CBC is a community, and a great place for new battlers. ;x I'll try to say this nicely - PLEASE DON'T RUIN THIS.

Nica, don't bother. >__>

Erica, why are you agreeing with him? Wow.

Lerroux,
honey, baby, sugar pie, etc.

What the fuck?

I doubt you think highly of me, so I've got nothing to ruin anymore.

I'm sorry, but PC functioned just fine with us handling things, and it's done so for years. It's got all the admins that it needs, and honestly why would you wanna fix something that isn't broken? The forums work just fine as they are.

As long as you don't touch my precious clubs, I'm fine with getting rid of some of those inactive forums. And I don't see why B+W should be exempt from this ruling, if it were truly active and popular enough, it would have the posts required to be safe from this.

I already explained why. Please read my post again.

The forum can be improved. You'll see exactly what I mean when I'm done.

Well good for you, now I do suggest you return to your LoA and leave me to my business.

Good riddance. And how about we ban all the members with odd number of posts because it doesn't look good. And don't forget the members with numbers in their usernames.
Good idea. I'll get back to you on that.

You over-analyse far too much. It will be fine. It's for the better.

Emulation has more than double the 'necessary' posts, so it's totally safe, but I'm posting to show my disagreement with this, as I have with most of your other posts, Lerroux. I'm not arguing, as that clearly isn't going to work any more- I'm just making sure my opinion is heard, before you take THAT away.

Well good. NU/W is almost at 200,000 posts so not much for me to worry about. xD I feel bad for those forums that might have to be merged/deleted. Honestly, the majority of the forums deserve to stay. Maybe if we could promote more activity in those forums, they can reach the 100k mark and be exempt for merge/deletion?

I'm not over-analyzing. I've seen this **** happen at tons of other formerly active forums, then they die within the year because the memberbase was pissed off and decided to go to a site that would let them categorize their discussions in a tidy fashion.

What section is that?
If you knew how to read, you would know. But since your head is so far up your ass you have no light to read by, I'll point it out for you: Fanfiction and Writing. It's the only section I care about.

You come in here claiming to know everything but you still don't know what sections are moderated by whom.

I'm considering removing or condensing and merging some forums. Any forum with less than 100,000 posts sets a poor example and impression on new members interested in joining active sections. We have a steady join rate, but the amount of people who stay aren't very high when you compare the numbers. It's obvious that the post count in forums don't satisfy the new members, so that's why I'm planning to do this.

Since people didn't take too kindly to my mod reviews (which are still in progress, I'm nearly done. I just need a few more things and then I'll post the results for all of you to see.), anyone with a forum less active than 100,000 posts should plead your case here.
So by that token we should remove you as well? Hey lets join a site were there is some huge tyrannical guy that acts like only what he says goes. Wow sounds like a magical wonder land!

lern2respect, Logie. With name changes disabled, that would be impossible, and I can't leave staff just so I can go on a new account.

Your forum is fine. That's the only forum you have any kind of say regarding. Please don't exhibit this kind of behavior again. Keep your head down and focus on your forum. Thanks.

We've had more than enough time to focus on promoting activity in these sections. Now it's time to end them. They obviously aren't going anywhere.

Ahahahahah..

I'm nearly completely done with this.
Please don't post here if you don't intend to contribute. As a super moderator, you should be setting an example for the rest of the staff to follow.

That might be true for other forums, but that isn't at all true for this forum. I appreciate your concern, but I know what I'm doing.

I don't really have the time to memorize the moderator list or forum names. That's not what I'm here for.

So by that token we should remove you as well? Hey lets join a site were there is some huge tyrannical guy that acts like only what he says goes. Wow sounds like a magical wonder land!
This doesn't really concern me. This concerns the activity of the forums and the community as a whole.

How about no, Ley-roo? Yes, I'm calling you that because I'm not spelling out your name.

You should be the one helping us and contributing with your ideas but instead you're just making things worse. Many forums such as Pokemon Anime, Game Development, and Black & White are almost at their 100,000 mark. They won't make it till then because of your plan. I say let the mods of those sections promote a bit more activity. I'm positive they'll make it.

and I don't care if my post is not *contributing* as you said in other similar posts. This is my honest opinion and I as a moderator of this community have the right to voice it.

And as an admin, you should know when to step off and politely stop trying to change a place that doesn't need the changes you're trying to give it. You're like a presidential candidate that has most of the public pissed off, with a small group that in the end hopefully be out-voted, going "WE'LL FOLLOW WHATEVER YOU SAY". Meanwhile the rest of us are sitting here going "BULL****". My god, can I just leave? Would that bother anybody? If I stay on staff I'm just fight with this guy, unless I ignore his topics, which in all honestly would be more than half of the eventual staff forum. Jesus christ.
