Removal of SMODS
Before the rummors start flying around.. here it is:
OJ, Cyc, and BDTR have started their own board. They dont seem to see the probelm behind this. My problem with it is that you dont admin at this board and then admin at your own board. The priorities have now swung from AR's members to their own. If you would like to go to their board, please feel free to. They have been an asset to AR for a long time and they deserve to make money from the time they put in here.
My fear of taking AR members has come to light this afternoon. Our SMODS are put to higher standards than the rest of you. If you solicite members from here to another steroid board, they would have banned you right then. What gives them the right to use their influence to recruit from here to their new board? NOTHING. We have a big loss, that is no secret, but if you did this... you would be gone. AR is AR because of YOU, the members here. NOT OUR STAFF!!!
If you get a spam from someone asking you to leave, shoot me a pm. AR will always be here and is growing by 50-60 new members daily. This is YOUR board. Lets get past this issue and continue to move down the road we are headed. If you feel I am wrong... shoot me a pm. I am always looking out for the board and its members. Having 3 SMODS creating this board and taking from AR is not cool and has gone way over the line.
I am sorry about this. This was not easy and this will take the members joining together to keep the board free of any BS while we re-staff and re-organize.
Thank you all.

While I personally disagree with the Banning of three SuperMods, especially two that started this board from basically scratch, there is nothing I can do about it. I am a member over at there board, but I still feel that members of both boards can contribute to both boards. I see no need to 'remove' members or mods because they are on another board, becasue 99% of the members here belong to more tahn one board. But your decision stands and there is nothing I, as only one member, can do about it.

It is indeed a very strange day.
I need to go workout, come back, and get rid of some of this tension.
I just ask that everyone please keep the b.s. and flaming stuff to a minimum, rumors are never cool.
It's hard to be pulled in two directions, even if it's un-intentional. Still hurts if you ain't plasticman.

They have been REMOVED, banned, or whatever you wish to call it. I have been talking to them for the past 2 days about this and I did not get anything settled accept for today when I found that members from here were being solicited to go there (WHICH THEY TOLD ME WOULD NOT HAPPEN). What more can I say??? Some of you LOVE them, some of you could care less... This is a bad day for sure, but I will not watch while I am being (what I feel) mocked and not taken seriously.
This is for the others that may be in this thread who have solicited... please stop, or you will be removed as well. This is not fair for the members here. If there any other staff members who would like to step down because of what I have done... please let me know. I might as well take this ass kicking face first.

I don't agree with your statement about BDTR, OJ, and CycleOn "taking" members. They don't own us and I'm sure they know that nobody's their bitch. We're all adults here and can make our own decisions on what board we want to go to.
I understand that IFL is now a competitor, but I don't think you should punish those cats for trying to better their lives. Just my 2cc's.

I don't think anyone will be forced to choose which board they post at, but I do think it will come down to who holds staff positions.
Either way this is really sad (althogh I understand why BC had to do this) it just seems like this is going to tear AR apart and destroy the site. I hope this isn't the outcome.

When has it been right for a competitor to work at the others competitors business?
Is it cool to do Research and Development for Dell and then at the same time be working at Compaq... I think not.
I think that they deserve to move on and make money. But not by using their power here to solicite business.
None of you are monkies and you all have free will... that is a given. It is just the priciple of them asking you to go to their board. No doubt they are liked and we will loose some good dudes over this because I look like the bad guy.
So be it. Look closer and ask yourself if you would allow it.

If it is their time to move on... then so be it. No big deal in that. We have GREAT people leave all the time. I was not given much of a choice here.

Why hide it if there was no harm to be done? Isnt it strange that it was 3 or the top staff? I know their thoughts...
Why dont the 3 most well known guys on one of the largest boards use our popularity to create another big board. Lets face it... the steroid message board business is getting tougher and tougher. This was a good opportunity for them. I wish them luck. They have knowlege and popularity. I am sure they will do fine.

These boards are little dictatorships inside a capitalist society. You've got the right to better yourself, but when you do, you get put on the chopping block. Its not just this board, its all boards. Like I said before, I don't agree with it at all, but thats the way it is.
