In other words, he did so much work.. he's been put on temp. vacation?
Actually, no Will. That isn't it at all. I'd invite you to come inside the Board Room and review my work if that is honestly what you think. I am damn fucking proud of the amount of work I did in that section and if you think I went over to TNA because I didn't work in the WWE section, you better fucking think again. I'm told my Board Room rants and infractions were longer than yours were. 90-100 infractions a week on average. I edited posts for grammar and fucking spelling even which took a huge amount of time, to make the section look more clean. And I will do the same with TNA. I made thread titles specific so people knew what threads were about before they clicked on the,.
No, I didn't do a damn thing in there and sat on my ass.
You can ask any single staff Member on here, and I don't care who it is, if I busted my ass in that section, and every one of them, regardless if they get along with me or not, will say "Yes, he did".
Just to lay some things to rest, when NSL stepped down and names from posters were being tossed around to suggest who would be a good replacement, I went to the Admins and volunteered to take over the TNA section.
This was a move I truly wanted and if I didn't want it, I wouldn't have volunteered to leave.
The workload of the WWE section and going at it for 4 months was starting to get to me and modding was becoming more of a chore than it was for fun. I often times would spend my entire sessions online issuing warnings, infractions, and doing other administrative duties and found very little time for actual posting.
After all the warnings and infractions issued, I would often times be in a bad mood over how many I issued. On average it was around 90-100 and often times more a week, and that is extremely excessive. So I was burning out.
And Staff and I would get into a lot of arguments over behind the scenes matters, and me being in a bad mood certainly didn't help and it resulted in a lot of clashing. Some of it was me, and other times I still think some Mods (like NSL) just did some very obnoxious things and we simply clashed.
Some people, a lot of people, have said how much they don't think it made sense to have an Anti WWE Mod manage the WWE section, and I just want to let those of you know that the Admin team here is not stupid. Yes, that was intentional, and it made a great fit because it got people talking. I am someone legitimately who loved the WWE for many years, and I have become infuriated with the direction Vince took the product, and the fans who ate it up.
So I would speak up against it and my views just naturally drove discussion. Everything was a perfect fit. I was honestly fighting for a Pro WWE Mod to be named as a Co-Mod because I thought it would help bring balance to the team. We may have some of that Pro and Anti WWE staff in place now, based on posts I have read from the new team.
I think the new team is a great fit for the WWE section. I have publicly supported D-Man for a long time now in getting that spot, and he was the one I wanted to be a Co-Mod with me when I had the section, to be perfectly honest. We are polar opposite of each other as far as our WWE views go, which I thought would make a great fit.
I am also especially happy to see FTS get a chance at actually modding a wrestling section because he deserves it. I can understand why Non Wrestling Mods are obviously needed, but I mentioned a concern that I feel that current people on Staff in those positions need a chance at doing wrestling sections too if they want to do it, and the Admins are happy with their performance. It isn't fair to not consider the people you already have on Staff when changes need to be made. They are the ones already on Staff and have put forth the work, so I feel they are the ones who have the experience to get first crack at something else, if something else opens up AND the Admins feel they would do a good job with it.
So I am especially happy for FTS as well.
And of course, Norcal brings a lot of experience to the table, as well, from his time as a Mod and G-Mod on the team. He is also a great person to have back on the Mod team.
As far as I am concerned, I am someone legitimately thrilled with the direction TNA is going, so you aren't going to see me really be as Negative. I have no reason to be Negative if I am happy with the direction the company is going. If I see something they do I don't like, rest assured they will be called out on it just like I called out WWE for doing things I didn't like, which I thought were detrimental to fan enjoyment in their product.
So I think great decisions were made all-around, and everyone seems pretty happy with the changes all around.
I have a lot of things on my plate outside of the website going on at the moment, but my activity will be increasing towards the later part of the weekend. And like I said, I am definitely looking forward to it.
