#68620, "Yay transparency?"

Well, you guys wanted transparency, right? In all honesty, I
don't blame those who prefer not to be involved. There's
definitely a lot of negativity that floats about at times, as well
as plenty of days that it's talking/arguing with a wall. You'll
notice that it's a process of time, also. Typically it's the
higher level Imms that begin to heavily tone back the amount of
time they commit to the forums. It's a cost/reward equation in
many ways. For whatever reason, I actually enjoy the task, but
even I want to reach through the screen and strangle people some
days.

Hey, none of *US* created this forum, we got stuck with it!
Joking (mostly), but in seriousness - I feel that both are done,
but we're not always on 24/7. There's plenty of times I go to
bed, happen to check on the forums after I get up the next day,
and some random WTF has happened. Or alternatively, it's the 78th
post about how CF's been ruined and it's going to die next week.
There's only so often something can reasonably be rehashed
sometimes.

Even if jalim doesn't believe it, that's more or less exactly what
happened. Umiron can correct me if I'm mis-speaking for him, but
when he left my understanding is that it wasn't fun for him
anymore, so he stopped doing it. Recently, he decided he felt
like helping out again, and so he came back. Umiron works where
he enjoys himself, and doesn't do things that are a chore for him
(like the forums).

>I do appreciate your code work as it is definitely needed.

Agreed.
