Leaving TWC. (archived by Chris)

[Destroy666]

@Fox, I have (almost) nothing against Joint, don't even really know him, but if you read this, especially the last paragraph:

Remember the members leaving who say TWC isn't what it used to be? That they feel they don't belong anymore. That they no longer are having any fun... I'm sure some of you have forgotten those and some are too new to have even seen them.

Up to this day, people are leaving for that very reason. Wether they post their good byes or not. I still get them in PM.

Many of you reading this may be one of the people who said stuff like that. Some of you even stayed after posting goodbye speeches after I said hang on things are gonna change, give us some time.
(...)
Because many of you have come and gone and come and gone, but we stay and we watch and we will always keep the best interest of this clan close to our hearts. So that you and everyone else can have fun in a game we call ET. In the servers that we call TWC.


You all can get mad and run away if you want, but if you think the five of us aren't constantly trying to do what is best for the clan we love so much and its members, then you are sadly mistaken and are free to leave. We will stay just as we have for five years now to do whatever it takes to keep TWC a respected as well a fun community in ET.

Looks like this block of text with all those words was meaningless. Now author of the quoted post left together with Joint because of "fights between Supremes", "we lost our way of handling problems quickly and efficiently" etc. Not surprised at all, told you your new policies are never and under no circumstances going to work (expected "less abuse" resulted in "a lot more abuse" because new members don't have almost any responsibilities before they become high admins), but quitting and blaming members for it is ridiculous. That's like a boss of company leaving it because his workers are playing computer games instead of managing documents etc. and he can't handle them properly (maybe punishing/firing would work?! Mayhem still probably says no).

So.. I (Sky iIrc too) was called "away-runner" after leaving, doing the same now. It feels so easy to talk about someone else that way! Where you stand depends on where you sit.
