Friends,
Earlier in the evening I posted this: [
classicmarvelforever.com]
This in particular is what I'll be breaking down in this post:
>For my part, I simply watch over the
> forums as a Moderator and talk shop
> with Skycutter on the weekends.
After receiving a PM from an honored member, who asked for clarification on my meaning, I thought I would post some of it here. There has been far too much confusion, apparently, on the position I play here at Classic Marvel Forever, and the reasons for it. I'll attempt to leave as many stones overturned as I can.
From the very beginning of this forum's attempted salvation, Skycutter asked me (read: invited, involved, suggest, etc) to assist him on this project. I'm not sure what his precise interest in me was, seeing as I had only PM'd him a few times about game write-up, and didn't know him that well. In fact, I was even one of the voices, against his taking over this website, which can be easily confirmed by looking at the Archived Forum.
After speaking with him via telephone, I was convinced that he was a strait shooter with the heart needed to bring this community of players back together. To which I also posted publicly. Although I offered aid in many different forms, Skycutter did not want or take anything form me in the way of resources and instead only used some advice I gave. As a result, my contribution to the logistics of running the site (read: money, time, technical assistance) has been zero. However, in spite of my obvious lack of value, he asked me to stay on with him.
When the site here returned to operation, there were a few people who had issues with me being management here on Classic Marvel Forever. While I've had the chance to confer with these people and make amends (at least on my part), I have not just cut through the $hit. When it appeared I was going to be attacked for "making a big deal out of myself" and "speaking in half truths" I posted in this very thread, that I would likely leave if things did not change.
In spite of my inability to offer anything of REAL value to the site, I had a PM and a Voice Mail from Skycutter on my phone within a couple of hours, telling me not to leave and that everything would blow over. His exact words were "Don't let that stuff get to you."
So I didn't.
Now, to this thing:

There are two official Administrators on this website right now and it is clear when they are on-line, because they both have (admin) next to their names. In my post, I was in no way trying to suggest that I was running the site and Skycutter was not. Obviously Skycutter has full ownership of the site, as per Aunt Petunia's request. But he asked me to help out as only a Moderator of this place and I agreed. End of story. Period. Viola!
Any further questions, about anything at all can be directed to me via PM. If I think it is something that perhaps more than one member may be interested in having an answer to, I'll post it in public without naming the parties involved, as I did here. I'm of the opinion that a TRUE moderator would put everything on the table this way, so that is how I'll play it. If I fail in this regard, I'm sure there will be someone here to set me strait and put me back on the path of righteousness.
