What potential? People such as? Those claims are rather empty to be honest, I've been here the entire time and nothings changed.
Edit:
I would also like to add that while not trying to poop on your application (you are the better applicant out of the ones left) I'd like to point out the fact that 95% of the people who've vouched you don't, or hardly ever use the section let alone RZ, and those who are NOT vouching you are actual users of the section and the forum in general.
Though I don't really have a problem with you anymore, you used to be a huge stick and some people probably haven't forgotten that. Like I said, not shitting on your app but just speaking up the truth. Good luck tho.
@
Vaulient you may wish to unlike my comment.
I hadn't seen Quackster around, nor Moogly, but also I hadn't seen you around. Yet here we all are, standing amongst the ghosts of thousands dead before us!!!
Adil came back. Then quickly ran. But I still consider him relevant.
To comment on my vouches, I'd rather have them from people who'd been around and have experience rather than new members who hardly know me or the section. Besides Vaulient and Future, I have most of the important mod vouches.
Also I hate to reinforce any new stereotypes of Americans created by Trump's political campaign, but I'd like to go on the offensive for a sec.
Back when I was really around,
literally half this community was just poop. After I left, whenever I'd periodically return, I'd try to plug at least one reminder into how damaging retro Facebook was. Doxing, hacking, and a bunch of general stupidity was not unusual to find.
You even went through the same stuff, which is why I don't hold the UberCMS 2.0 exploit against you entirely. I'd gotten attacked like multiple times around that community, doxed, DDoS'd etc., over the stupidest problems. Revenge for advertising was rampant, and it was like some bloodlust was awakened because EVERYONE advertised on each other's retros. No empathy!
To be honest, I didn't think this community was all that fond of me after these attacks so I acted out. I would say that, in some respect, my prickishness was not without reason. Does it justify flaming? No, but if people still have a problem with me then they've successfully forgotten the underlying reason. THAT I have a problem with.
This also comes back to my point about the community's improvement. I see less of these problems as time passes. I don't know what happened, but I think people can feel safe around here again. Hell I even considered opening a hotel back up again, but I don't feel like spending money or time on that.
Either way, I feel more prepared for this each day.
