At this point in time I have completely lost faith in the current leadership team here at esk8.news
The way that this series of events has been handled over the past few weeks (and previously as well) leaves a lot to be desired.
As much as @longhairedboy likes to think that this is his forum and we need to play by his rules, I think that is fucking bullshit and we need to speak up about it.
This is our forum, filled with our content and funded with our money.
I couldn’t give two shits who holds the keys and calls themself a leader, the state of affairs here is fucking deplorable.
It is my suggestion that you guys read Bill’s version of events, compare them to what you have seen, read and felt on this matter and make your own decisions.
I recently slashed my Patreon donation from $15 down to $1 and will be going and cancelling that $1 now as well.
In regards to a new leadership team, I would really hope that @longhairedboy has the merit to hand the keys of this forum over to the community council until we can determine an appropriate and fair method of leadership here that doesn’t just fall onto the whim of one man.
The community council comprises of
@glyphiks
@rosco
@abusfullofnuns
@Venom121212
@ducktaperules
@Pedrodemio
@mishrasubhransu
I put this council together a couple of weeks ago when I noticed that things were getting a little out of hand in regards to our current leadership regime. The idea of the council was to be a sounding board for the leadership team, giving a well rounded perspective from the ground.
The last thing I want to see is this forum collapse. This forum has been a huge part of my life over the past year and I have invested a lot of time and energy into making it a great place. As have a lot of you.
If Damon wants to be the one and only leader of this place, then let him pay for it. Pull your patreon donations and think long and hard about who you wanna answer to if you are thinking about applying for a mod position right now.
