Hey, serious question. I was out of the loop for a bit. How long has The Dames dude not been the owner/operator of the board?

[Your Paragon of Virtue]

I'm not sure myself.

 

Hey Dr. Tom is viewing this thread.

It's been a while. It might be coming up on a year by now.

I miss Dames...

[JangoFett4Hire]

Why did he sell it/step down? Did Banky trick him into doing it?

[Adam]

I think he just got over it.

[Guest StylesMark]

I drove him over the edge?

 

I'm sure he got tired of shit, much like this.

[The Dames]

I got overwhelmed with "real life" ever since I moved up to CT. Job, car, responsibilities, etc...

 

I felt TSM slipping bigtime as a priority until eventually, I had to come to the realization that I just couldn't do it anymore. Even after that, I still stayed on until I couldn't afford it anymore.

 

My lack of dedication caused everyone to turn heel on me. It's all good though, I blame myself.

 

But, I still lurk daily.

 

More than you think.

OMG DAMEZ IZ WP

Hell, I miss Dames as a regular joe poster.

 

As for tiring of running the show, I get that. For me it's more a matter of who you decided to hand the reins.

[Your Paragon of Virtue]

Why do so many people hate the admin? He seems like a good guy.

[Golgo 13]

It's as the nickname for him implies. He's an impersonal entity with no real connection to the community whose only definitive trait is performing menial tasks and fixing shit. I doubt most of us 'hate' him, though.

atomsk did a good job summing it up, but I'll add my own thoughts

 

Perhaps I had "high" expectations due to the fact that Dames was always a down-in-the-trenches owner, talking with us like a fellow normal poster. By contrast, admin (what the hell kind of username is that anyway) never talks except to occasionally post his little robotic updates of the forum... though, truth be told, when I did see him try to converse like a normal person, the results did nothing but clarify why he likely keeps to himself in the first place.

 

To sum it up, the guy appears both distant and out of it and talks like a bot. Other traits that don't help include having an AIM name with alternating caps and lowercase letters like some script kid, and posting enough spelling and grammar mistakes to make CWM look like Edwin.

[Guest StylesMark]

It doesn't matter...there's a good chance adminbot will sell to me.

 

He's cracking...

[The Niggardly King]

Make sure to make me second in command

[Guest StylesMark]

...

[The Niggardly King]

In my world that means a yes, plus you owe me $2 American.

[Guest StylesMark]

Only $2? Sucker...

[The Niggardly King]

My popularity has declined as of late... so I can't charge the old fee.
