Is this the truth about Ryu?

[bloodline]

I don't see why this is a big deal?

Running a site, even just being a moderator requries a lot of time, I would doubt very much that Ryu would have time to run both sites.

I personally think it's the right thing to do. It seems a bit weird to have the owner of a polarised site to be moderating on a community site.

That would be like haveing a Rightwing neonazi website owner moderating on a Liberal comunity site (That is just an extreme example).

Had Ryu just been a moderator rather than the site owner I would not have expected him to loose his position here.

You're not getting it are you? Ryu didn't resign of his own free will. The time issue you keep mentioning is irrelevant in this case

And wtf is polarized about intuitionbase. It's supposed to be a collection of info about OS4 as far as I can tell. Nothing political about it....

And to what's going on? Nothing special, just certain persons being selfrighteous pricks as usual.

Oh sod it....must shut my mouth before I really get angry.  :pissed:

Don't be so hard on yourself! You're not a self rightous prick!!! (I love your avatar by the way, where is it from?) It's ok we all get a bit angry sometimes :-)

Things happen, the world keeps turning. I think Ryu's site is very good, very well designed, and great presentation. But it is not a comunity site, it's a site to cover Ryu's views, and that's fine, it's good to have this. Go to his site and enjoy it, as I have done.

So the average `mileage` of a site like A.org is about

3 moderators per year ?

That sounds high... but if you really think about it, it's only 0.0000001 per second.

We should probably convert that to SI units.

ok, I shall assume that one moderator is 63kg, then three moderators are 189kg...

Then Amiga org is currently operating at 0.0000060 kg per second.

Here's a quick question for you. Had you been chosen for Moderator, would you of given up being a key member of AROS?

I'm not a Moderator, possibly for that very reason. I do own an AROS site, not used much anymore, but I do plan to keep it alive, as it always has a workign verison of AROS on it.

When A.org was looking for moderators, I said I would be happy to moderate the AROS section, but I didn't think it was right for me to modererate the rest or the site due to the fact I DO OWN AN AROS SITE.


-Edit- For what it's worth I do think Ryu was a good Moderator, it's a hard job. I also think Ryu's new site is good too, I look forward to seeing it grow.

Actually I think it would have been worse for you to have only moderated the AROS section (what if someone slagged off AROS bigtime?). But then again I know from your forum posts, and personal email, that you're a good bloke (although maybe a little obsessive ), and I personally wouldn't of objected to you being a moderator (Full or just AROS). I'm just trying to follow your line of thinking here.
 

my intention was only to keep thread in the AROS section on topic. But you are right it would have been a bad and the A.org crew made the right decision to go for Ryu.

Obsessive? arn't we all? :-)

Being a Moderator is really hard... I'm still trying to figure out what the hell the xoops admin stuff does on ae.org... Fortunately Argo has been a great help.

To be honest with Wayne comming back, I was wondering when the staff was going to be cut back. too many cooks and all that...
