[QUOTE="Weasel, post: 465631, member: 9520"] I'm going to be brutally honest here because, in all honesty, I don't care anymore. For multiple years I've put loads of effort into DevBest, trying to keep it active. I've done countless suggestions, proposals and tried to get people to act, including the community, and move DevBest forward. In these years, my experience has been that the issue isn't moderation, but Josh. And I'm very sorry, Josh, don't see this as a personal attack, but I'm speaking my mind here. The breaking point for me is that I've been (or we've been) utterly respectful and patient towards Josh, including when he just disappeared and left DevBest without any care. Besides that, I've tried countless times to approach Josh in private. 99% of the time, I was ignored. Not even a response from him. How are you expecting to save DevBest, if Josh doesn't even have the decency to respond to his staff when we ask him something. A few months back, we had a meeting, set up a Trello board with things that we agreed should happen. Once again, I put in a lot of effort. A few tiny things happened (for example, removing the Habbo shoutbox, something that takes 20 seconds). We got a new theme (that we even had before), and the Frank bot was removed. In reality, all that takes about 5 minutes, but it took him 2/3 months to act on it. I actually resigned from the staff team about 10 days before I publicly announced it. I didn't even get a response, and even now, I've publicly resigned, I'm still a Super Moderator. He didn't even have the fucking decency to send me a personal message; the only thing I "heard" from him was a fucking YouTube video on the resignation thread. And I'm not even the only one; this was literally the only response I got when I posted my resignation in the staff chat: I'm just done with it. Besides the fact that I don't want to be part of the staff team when DevBest dies, I also feel completely disrespected by Josh himself. If he doesn't care about DevBest, he should come out and say it. If there's any other reason for him to completely fuck up DevBest and ignore the people trying to keep his site active, he should also come out and say it. The only reason I've stayed on as long as I did and tried to help the way I did is that this place for me is full of friends. I also considered Josh as a friend. But I can not imagine this is the way you treat people who are helping you out or the community you've built up. For now, this is all I have to say that comes to mind. There's much more I would like to add, but I'll see how the thread goes. [B]EDIT:[/B] As I still have my moderation rights, I'm going to use them too. I've moved this thread to the community section and stickied it, so it gets more attention. [/QUOTE]
