Independence?

[west]

This forum was supposed to be independent from the Buka/lg influence.

Now two out of the three mods are now mods on the old/new phorum.

Sorry for being a skeptic.

I think many people share my concerns.

Hyemew already showed his willingness to lie, so what is stopping him now?

Terry has been mostly silent to criticism, so I have no clue.

I am only saying we need at least one totally independent forum.

Yes, I second that. Being a newbie, I have no strong ties to this place and would be willing to up and relocate. How the fvck is one supposed to navigate to this place, anyway? This is one whacko URL.

You should make your own forum, west. You are very active and seem intelligent; you'd be great as as Admin :-P

[west]

Haha, thank you for the vote of confidence, fortunately I have a life outside this realm.

I am primarily concerned with the independence of this forum as Lissa may be losing viewers and participants.

The most attractive feature of this board "was" its independence.

So, I hope she recognizes that and acts accordingly.

[Alissa Brooke]

Listen. West, you can call me if you want, prove I'm a real person or whatever. You can call me here, my work, my cell, whatever. I don't know what to say to make you understand that I am NOT in cahoots with whatever the fuck is going on. This IS an independant forum.

I said in the other thread, it's not my fault if my Moderators want to Mod the other board-- BUT, I trust them, I wouldn't make the Mods if I didn't. They are good at their job, and that is what matters.

I am here to serve the LG15 community, not play games with them.

West, I have repeatedly said (as has Alissa) that the purpose of this board was not independence; it was to create a friendly moderated place to continue our discussion after the original board descended into chaos. You have stated that you think there are some problems with HyeMew and I moderating on both boards. Fine. But you do have not to keep posting this opinion. Doing so in no way makes your argument any stronger, nor does it do much to help show you that have a lot of support on this issue (one could argue your Karma proves the opposite).

If you feel this board is not a place you wish to discuss lonelygirl15 on then I can think of a much more active thing you can do than just complaining as much as possible. You could either leave this board and start your own, or just leave this board.

I am also surprised that you have questioned my ethical ability to moderate both forums. I feel that my actions in the past prove that I am a very (perhaps too) ethical person – in fact Virginia Heffernan of the NY Times described me as an “exceptionally dignified lonelygirl15 sleuth”. I assure you I have no inside knowledge of this production. If in the incredibly unlikely future I am invited into the inner sanctum of the LG15 world, I will promptly remove myself as a moderator of this board as I agree that might be considered a conflict of interest. But at this time my job on both of these boards is the same: try to make them nice places that people want to hang out at.

My karma means nothing, as a mod you should know that. Or look at the person with 1,337 or the other with one million plus.

Look back at the old phorum, independence was a key issue.

So, I should leave because of a few questions.

Very user friendly board. The purge begins...

You embarrass yourself when quoting the NY Times.

Oh WEST! You are SO RIGHT! We have SO needed another board for like SO long!

EVERYONE here is like ... like ... like ... suspicious!! But you have the T R U T H !! Alissa and Terryfic and HyeMew are simpy imature tweens with outstanding crushes on LG and DB.

Someone mature as yourself wouldn't have this problem! Please - PUH-LEEZE - lead the way, and I will follow! Be a man and start a new forum! Set the example and never post or interact on this forum again! Boycot any mention of alissabrooke.proboards56.com!!

If Alissa - I mean, "Lissa" - took the time out of her busy schedule to begin this forum, then by all means can't you do the same and start your own??

(Just one thing: before I promise to follow you, I must be assured that you aren't a plant.) Now how are ya gonna go about that, hm?

</sarcasm>

Look I'd consider resigning (from the job I JUST got) but guess what, Terry has already started he won't and I see no reason for him to. So even if I resigned it'd still be "TAINTED" by the presense of someone I find to be the most serious and trustworthy LG fan out there. I understand the "independence" concern, but have I edited or delete this post? Or ANY of your posts for that matter? No, I'm not here to do that. If you can find one (actual) case of me editing anything you said, or had anything deleted/changed for no good reason I'll resign both my modships. IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU? Till then suck it up that terry and I are admins at both sites. You've made your point now stop harping on it. True fans who have been around long enough know that both terry and I are trustworthy and regular fans like all of you- well fine, you make arguements about my "deceiving" with danielbeast myspace. Fine. Only reason it seems you find terry suspicious is because "he doesn't answer charges"?! Come on this has moved beyond ridiculous.

...

AND STOP GIVING ALISSA A HARD TIME.

[curiousgeorge]

I have every conifidece that Alissa is handling this board with intergity.

If you don't like it, start one yourself and bugger off.

Now, let's go find these actors!!!

[brianmpei]

Grief! Alissa has done nothing but good stuff with this board. It was the catalyst for cracking the stonewall of LG15. Move on West.

[wixy15]

Fuck off west

[BaileysMom]

I second Wixy.

All in favor?

Would exalt you Wixy, but Smited that whiner West again.

[Terryfic]

I am locking this thread as I feel both sides have said their piece and it is just turning into an attack on west at this point. I although I don’t agree with him, I feel there is nothing to be gained from insulting him. I hope everyone can stop focusing on each other and instead focus on the reason we are all here in the first place.
