    The Powers That Be

    First of all this isn’t anything meant at removing Yev but his recent instability got me thinking about the current hierarchy here. I’ll also say I was one of the main advocates in maintaining the same admins in the move from the Dugout to here to keep things stable. That said, we have Henry who is God knows where, John who is likewise, and ItalAussie who only pops up to pretend to be Italian when the situation arises about twice a year. At this stage what exactly are they adding and what’s to stop any of them rocking up and kicking out half the users or closing the place? I’m not even advocating for adding any more admins, the ones that are here regularly do fine and it doesn’t really need it anyway, but those few surely need to be removed at this stage.

    You? Nothing. That’s why I doubled down on making it clear it wasn’t about you in the post. You were merely the catalyst for the train of thought.

    I think so. It’s Quick Links > View Site Leaders.

    This still shows Henry, ItalAussie and John as admins.

    How do you even know who the admins are? I thought it was just Phonics and SVN. Never knew Yev had the keys to the gaff as well, if he does.

    You have a point but is there much bother to moderate? TTH is a closed shop unless Baz starts handing the cards out again.

    There isn’t at all, that’s why I’m saying not to add more. I only mean if any of those 3 rock back up and want to fuck with things that it’s better to remove them.

    Is there actually anyone left who gives out points? Since the move here it was basically just John, because he's a twat.

    Edit: actually are points even still a thing?

    I don't think any of them are the sort of characters we need to worry about. In fact, I'd quite enjoy Ital booting everyone out and spamming the board with porn.

    At least have the balls to admit what prompted this.

    Look, from my side, and to be clear, I just want a thread where I can talk about and hopefully write some of a project I've been thinking about for 20 years. The morons of the board and jealous types refused to allow that so I've ben forced think about other options the board may allow - I don't mean other staff, I mean functionality. We have some great members on here who have already contributed to help me and I'm sure could do a load more, I'd just rather speak to them without the thread being derailed every 5 posts by the admittedly small, but disappointingly loud, moron contingent.

    You don't need to worry about me or anyone else going on a banning spree.

    What are you on about? I already said what prompted this, you did. A couple of posts of yours made me realise you were a moderator and it made me think about who else is.

    Again, I repeat: This isn’t about you, this is about the three I mentioned in the opening post that don’t post here any more.

    So let me get this right...

    You saw me close a thread after moron city took over.
    You saw me ask Phonics to meet me in the office.
    You took my joke response (about me going down the same road with you as I have Bamster ) to your utterly needless comment as a genuine threat.
    ????
    You're worried about John literally rising from the dead to ban you

    And I'm the one who's mentally ill...?

    John isn’t dead. Someone posted recently enough that he wasn’t.

    As for the rest of it, I don’t think there’s much I can say that’ll calm you down but as I’ve said, yes you having powers here (like you mentioned above apart from the Bamster thing, though you’re were also threatening cards) made me question who else had powers here. I can’t make it any more simple.

    I understand the want to avoid the dickheads but a thread would be interesting as a kind of Life story, where fans of the show can come and see how it all came to fruition.

    We're all dickheads. Dickheads make the world go round. And provide material.

    If you did I'd take that, but you don't, you're a horrendous poster that offers nothing beyond jealous snipes and gas-lighting.

    If you think I've got a single piece of material from you in the last 20 years that would go anywhere near what I'm planning then you're sadly mistaken and you should disabuse yourself of that notion right now. The sea of shit from you has been so strong since that the only decent thing you did that I can still remember has already been used by Stuart Lee.

    Yev isn't a moderator? Edit looks like he is..

    I'm ready to delete everything on signal.

    I can barely do anything. There's definitely more than one kind of admin.

    Yes has been unstable for years. We need to cleanse the whole place of all these cunts and start again.

    If 'these cunts' as you put it, were cleansed, there is no board. It's dead.

    Shitposting aside, what's wrong with a 'Writing Thread', where we all post shit we've been working on?

    I like to write sometimes, Yev and Lofty do, DS...probably a bunch of others. It's niche but no less than WWE

    It's a great idea, but (and DS can correct me if I'm wrong) they always get taken over by utter idiots who can't cope with people doing something they don't like or get. I should have known better really as a result.

    Anyway: Henry, ItalAussie, John - is there any reason for them to still have moderator or similar privileges here when they don’t post any more?

    I'm confident I speak on behalf of us of all in saying there is a mod who is a mentalist and we don't feel safe around him.

    It would be unfair to name this person, so for the sake of privacy let's just call him... Harv.

    Just so bad. Like one of the worst posts I've ever read. You've literally copied mine above (which was shit anyway) and somehow made it worse.

    What are you doing?

    No I know that, I genuinely didn't know he was a mod or admin.

    But I think SvN (and maybe phonics) has real admin rights and we can basically do some moddy type stuff. I really doubt ital, John (rip) or Henry would come back to delete everything but I get it, you want to be an Adam.

    I don't know. I was going to ask Phonics if there was a way I could set up an invite-only sub-forum to keep the shit out, but they're not going to stop are they, so really not sure I can be arsed now.

    I'll still do it (at least as far as I can take it), but at this stage, I can't see how that journey can be shared on here.

    And Luke, I should add that some people are genuinely concerned and they're not at all being a dick about that, but you can spot them a mile off and they're not who have brought any of this about.

    Haha. Love it.

    Are you going to apologise for the 'content' you've been posting over the last 24 hours? I think that's what Giggs is wanting. Unless I've completely misread the situation.

    You're a fucking idiot so of course you've mis-read the situation. But if you can find a post that warrants an apology of course I will. You can't and you won't, but by all means try.

    There's other places to put writing and speak with like minded people. TTH isn't the whole, why do ya think I hardly post here anymore? You know this place and you know what will, and won't be worth the effort.

    I like TTH though and I think we have some brilliant members who could genuinely help as I absolutely trust their judgement. If I need to find another online home to do that I think it'd just be easier not to bother and do it all offline.

    These are basically the options:

    I re-open the thread, the shit will not stop and I give up (on here at least) eventually.
    I re-open the thread and I take the option that Giggles mind was thinking that his lying mouth won't admit, ban everyone who I think has stepped out of line. I'm never going to do that as it's a shit approach and just creates more problems.
    Do it all in a sub-forum. Don't think that'll really work as the idiots will just run wild out here.
    Not bother at all.

    Option 4 is looking the most attractive at the moment.

    As is usually the case, not much really. I got brain fog twice over the last 3 months (caused principally by not sleeping properly for 15 months) and have now shaken it twice, but some people assume it's hilarious to run a narrative that claims I still have it. The latest reason hidden behind for doing so was because I pulled an all-nighter last night.

    All I can say for my part is I didn't intend any ill will, I was just checking in. If you're all good, then happy days.

    I didn't think for one second you did. Unlike the Auts brigade who're incapable of comprehending anything, it's clear as day to see who is genuinely concerned and who is being a cunt. You did not fall into the latter camp.
