I don't want to be banned, but I know almost for a fact that all of the mods have wanted me to go for a long time now. A lot of my friends have recently gotten the axe and I figure it's only a matter of time until it falls on me. I also know for a fact that there is pretty much nothing I can do anymore to help resolve the differences between users here. I've got no power, no sway, and my association with people such as COLA and Teff has pretty much made my name mud with all people in power.
I can't do anything positive anymore because no one will ever be willing to give me a chance. Because of the actions of people other than myself I am dead to all those with any sway in how this forum works. It makes me sad, and makes me feel quite powerless. I've always had faith that somehow this forum would pull through. I've always felt people could resolve their differences but after what happened today while I was gone, I just don't know anymore. I know no one will ever listen to me again, so why does it matter what I say?
That's not true, Ace. No one has even remotely suggested that they want you gone. And I'm speaking for the ENTIRE Admin/Moderator staff when I say that, too.
And something you touched on in your second paragraph there: people resolving their differences. That's actually a very smart thing to say, because at the heart of this problem is a difference of opinion regarding what this forum is here for, and what should and should not be allowed. The root of the problem - at least the way I see it - is that this is a Homestar Runner forum that some people no longer associate with Homestar Runner anymore. Cola has said it a dozen times himself that he doesn't consider it a Homestar Runner forum. But whether he considers it so is irrelevant: it's what Joey created it for, and it's still the reason the majority of users come here.
As such, we Moderators and Admins are charged with trying to maintain at least a certain amount of decorum on this forum. And it saddens me that, whenever we try to, someone always wants to give us hassles about it. Heck, none of this would have been a problem if Cola hadn't tried to argue about a post edit!
And believe me, I get tired of all this too. Do you honestly think I want all the headaches of arguments and drama? No, I don't! But at the same time, I can't just sit back and let things slide all the time.

Mr. "Text Goes Here!" should be banned.
That was probably me. I had trouble getting it to show something I was trying to type and thought the thing was broken. I finally just gave up and went to do something else.
