Why JGlass is not a mod anymore.

[Pay Per Ghost]

Was JGlass' OP as big as Rayne's?

Why wasn't I bored? Why did I read it completely?

Wait was it because I didn't want another thread about how tactical Dagger win was and how the masses rallied behind the underdog and him campiagning via PM was a masterstroke.

^ There! that's all Rayne was saying.

If he wasn't, tl;dr.

 

[The Crock]

Thanks, as always, for your honesty and kindness, JGlass.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

I realized something when C.M. passed away, and you've reminded me of it again now. The reason these forums are so awesome, beyond the external of clean format and regularly interesting discussion, is the genuine relationships that get formed here. I've been a part of a lot of forums in the past, and nobody, at the end of the day, actually cares about their fellow posters like people here in the WZ forums.

I realize that for a long time I was a mediocre poster (at best). I also realize that being a main page writer causes you to develop a sense of arrogance, and it may have come across often that I thought I was entitled to certain things because you are "a part" of us. But regardless of how annoying all that made me, none of you really treated me terribly. Put me in my place? Fuck yeah! But I think you did it because you genuinely care about the quality of the forums. I'd like to think at least some of you would rather see me turn into a great poster, than have me leave...

And you know what? There is a hell of a lot more community here than there is within the main page "family". I love some of those guys as well, but I have defended these forums and mods like KB and Sly to a few former writers that tried to spend a month here, and decided they were too good for it. I don't know how many people have told me "I hate the forums! The mods are assholes!" I'm almost positive they all got punished for spamming and didn't want to bother with nuisances like, you know, reading the rules... Now I understand why some of you hate the main page so much (outside of the fact that sometimes certain people are genuinely awful...).

Point is, I'm not yet at the point where I consider many of you to be real "friends". I'd like to get there, and I think some awesome relationships have started over the years that I'd love to develop. But the biggest reason I hesitated to just jump in and act like a part of the group, is that most of you ARE so close. It's not an insult to you for being "cliquey" it's a praise for being that open with each other! For me though, it's like going to a party where you don't know anybody, and pretending like you've all been best friends forever... Recently, and especially with the election process, I just decided to screw being casual and have as much fun as possible. I'm going to try out WZCW, possibly start a Book This! thread, and continue posting in the spam sections because I love you guys... It's why I asked for D-Man's help to become a better poster, and try to make some new friends on the way.

So thanks for the shout-out JGlass. I read the entire thing, and I empathize with your joy over freedom! There are a lot of times I wish I could just sit back and enjoy a PPV, without having to analyze it, preview it, review it, and tear it to pieces... But I love what I do, I'm genuinely working to get better at it every single day, and I think hanging out with you forum guys more often is helping me to do that. Props to Dagger too, for winning the election even though I bailed on him after the primaries.

 

[Kermit]

For my inaugural Bar Room post, I want to tell you how much fun you are to chat with on this forum. Your imagination and creativity in the WZCW goes a long way and I hope that you continue to stick around. If I had to make a list of people on this forum that I consider "E-Buddies," I would definitely stick you in that list. I haven't known you long, but I highly value your encouragement and upbeat attitude. From what I can tell, you did a great job with the bold name and thanks for knowing when to step down from your quarters. Cheers!

and it was even called "a travesty" at one point.

The lack of credit here disappoints me.

This saddens me JGlass, you were a kindred spirit. No farewell shout-out either? Sadface. If real life hadn't taken over these last few months I wish I could have been around more to appreciate your stay on staff. Oh well we'll just have to blaze up and go see some wrasslin' in Providence in March.

 

[The Champ]

I will treasure my one JGlass infraction forever.

Spoiler

Sad to see you go man, in the limited interactions I've had with you you've always seemed like a cool guy. Your post was a good read (unlike Layne's).

I see you're very sad.

 

[¡Roján!]

Seriously, I'm going to miss the big badass ''JGlassuius the Illustrious'' althught, it has a certain twange in the serif that I like too. I think I've been into the HOF section twice, but, nonetheless, they were always tidy and cleaned up. Plus, the post you made for every inductee was always well-thought out. So, I suppose I'll miss you in that respect but, there's always your thread, I suppose. Thanks for everything, man.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

For all the people that didn't read through till the end...

I'll still be around just as much as I was as a moderator, but now I don't have to do anything.

 

[¡Roján!]

Yes, we know.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Appreciate the endorsement. Sad to see you leave the staff Jiggles, and sad to see you've "lost your smile". Hopefully you'll still lurk around the Bar Room & LD's and keep on toiling away in WZCW.

Oh, and because it needs to be said;

Best of Luck in Your Future Endeavours.

 

[SD619]

Seeing that both Jglass and Doc have stepped down as mods, does this mean that we will not have the BattleZone Tournament?

 

[a0161613]

No Numbers? Me sad.

Anyway.....

My proudest moment on WZCW Staff was having a part in the All Stars show that brought you and a couple of others to that section. Saboteur is the biggest success of that show and I'm delighted with that. Gutted you stepped down but you were great at it. I know I tend not to do s lot of Mod stuff but if I and your replacement are half as good as you then we will be Ok.

 

[Coco]

I almost contacted you last night in regards to a real life conundrum of the romantic comedy variety. Like, almost. If that doesn't speak to what a high quality person I think you are, nothing does. I'd hug you if we weren't both men. Or if I was drunk. RIP.

 

[The Champ]

For all the people that didn't read through till the end...

Yeah, but that was before Jerry Lawler said he had a broken back.

And anal bleeding.

 

[shattered dreams]

Maybe you can explain something to me about a chain of comments you have made. I feel it is indicative of something I have never quite understood about how people interact on here. You have made it abundantly clear you do not think Dagger is a good poster. When some people questioned how good of a poster they thought you were, you basically said my friends think I am good and that is all that matters to me. Well, you and Dagger are not friends so why should your opinion matter? Why is the opinion even offered if that is how things work? Presumably you would not be offering the opinion if you didn't think it matted. So it seems a little hypocritical to me that you get to hear what you want to hear while suggesting everyone should listen to what you have to say.

 

[Deexter Jorgan]

I'm going to miss you as a mod Jglass, I just hope that now you've stepped down that it doesn't hinder you coming on to the forums (like it has some), in the end you know that this is like home to most of us and you're like family so keep posting, dispite our differing opinions on the elections you are one of my fave posters on the forums

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Oh well we'll just have to blaze up and go see some wrasslin' in Providence in March.

Odamn, you're in?

Aw shucky ducky, we've got ourselves a trio. I'll finalize the details on the Facebook and order the tickets.

I will treasure my one JGlass infraction forever.

I vaguely remember infracting you. Was it prejudiced language? I used to be able to see the infractions, but now I cannot.

I'm glad you enjoyed the read, but don't be sad to see me go, because I'm not going anywhere. The font for my username just got thinner, that's all.

In response to your rep question: I think you're okay. You've grown on me.

Thanks Mr. Excitement.

Jeeze, I hope that's not the case. As I said to Doc, the BattleZone Tournament was my greatest moment as a mod, and some of the most fun I've ever had on this site. I hope someone picks up our mantle and carries on the spirit of the tourney. I speak for both of us when I say we'd be happy to help if a current mod took the lead on it.

No Numbers? Me sad.

Haha, thanks Numbers. I never thought of myself as a great moderator, but I got my job done. Glad you enjoy my stuff in WZCW, I certainly enjoy writing there. Though I'm tired of those damn penguins!

That may be the highest praise I've ever received on these forums, right along with Sam finding something I say funny, Gelgarin not ripping a post of mine to shreds, and NorCal saying I'm cool.

I think you either misinterpreted what I said, or I misrepresented how I feel. The people I care about enjoying my posts does not make me a quality poster (though it is indicative of it), it means the message I want to send is reaching the people I want it to, which is self-rewarding. My opinion matters because I know good writing when I see it, and Dagger is not a good writer. Furthermore, his posts have absolutely no substance to them, as evident by the posts he made on his little posting spree over the past few days, where he made such arguments as "Jericho's best debut was the one in 2007 because it was my favorite and I liked the mystery around it." Or, "Rey Mysterio shouldn't be a World Heavyweight Champion because he's not a heavyweight."

I'll be here, I've got people that I want to keep talking to on here, and leaving would prevent me from being able to do that. I'm glad, and quite frankly a little surprised that I'm one of your favorite posters, but I'm glad I appealed to you in some way. Entertaining is what I love doing the best.

 

[JGlass]

Really though, good luck in your future endeavors JGlass. Never knew you that well but I thought you were a pretty good poster.

Thanks ST. I remember during my first WrestleZone tourney looking at your posts as masterful, so it's nice to get a compliment from someone you admire.

From little experience with you were a pretty ok mood and a very good poster.

I'll take the compliment, though my moods have been known to be pretty grumpy.

Proud of all you were able to rise to, and the poster and wrestling fan you have become...and I am damn glad I encouraged you to stick around those years ago.

As for your words about me, as always, flattering isnt the word, far beyond that. Thank you for your kindness, and im glad things work out for you....You can never go wrong by doing right...

Much respect for your reasons for stepping down. Obviously.

Thanks brother, you really were the first poster to really encourage me to stick around, and I wouldn't be the poster or person I am today without your guidance.

You are indeed a much better poster than you were when you first arrived, and I wouldn't doubt it's because people like myself, Coco, Sam, or whoever else gave you a hard time helped you become the poster you are today. I assure you, though, it wasn't planned that way, it just sort of happens. Coco did the same thing to me, like I said in my OP, he taught me how to have fun with posting, and that's what makes my posts so fun to read. Two of my best non-spam posts (I still maintain my all-time greatest post is Sully's Bar Mitzvah) were a blast to write, and I remember getting so into them. One was all the great moments/wrestlers/feuds the PG Era provided us, and the other was about how The Rock was never coming back to wrestle. Even though I was dead wrong about The Rock, I will remember that thread for how well written it was and the response it elicited.

Keep sticking around and being yourself Mr. Killiam, you'll make those connections you're looking to make. And don't worry about how you enjoy wrestling either, some people like to sit back and enjoy the ride, others like to analyze it to pieces, neither is inherently right or wrong.

For my inaugural Bar Room post, I want to tell you how much fun you are to chat with on this forum. Your imagination and creativity in the WZCW goes a long way and I hope that you continue to stick around. If I had to make a list of people on this forum that I consider "E-Buddies," I would definitely stick you in that list.

I knew I would take your bar room virginity one way or another, and now you can never have it back.

You'd definitely be a welcome addition to the e-buddy list. I like your style of keeping your most personal thoughts to yourself, but dropping a knowledge bomb when the time comes.

I'm tearing up a bit.

Man up son.

 

[Gelgarin]

So yeah... you were all right. Keep it up 'nd stuff.
