I think SOulwrangler left already AJ…..and I think all the mods will be stepping down rather soon…..New Mods coming in and such…

Nah, I'm pretty content.

I've been around since… 1998 I believe. I'm an old timer. I just never made a website, or made that much of a fuss about things. So yea, I've been around long enough to hear all the stuff about Chad. Rumors are just rumors till someone mails me any kind of legally obtained hard copy, despite how convincing, or unconvincing, some stories may be. Strangely enough, I used to have an unhuman hatred for Paul Rudoff, similar to streaks of anger some of you members have towards Chad. So I hear ya, in a way.

Then again, I don't. Note the “I used to”. I just kinda grasped that its all just a website, that it isn't going to pop out of my closet and kill me with a sharpened dsl router. That complaining about something that might not even be here in a few years just isn't worth it. I'm a Ghostbusters fan. Its my favorite movie. I'm here for that, not to become a close and tight knit community that will one day rule the land like a clan from Mad Max. Sitting here and arguing about who's going to be mods next just isn't my way of enjoying Ghostbusters.

and hopefully any true fan would realize that as well.

Edit: Ron is half right, I stepped down once before, and came back to find I was regrouped. Despite what some of you think, I am looking at everything objectively that is posted on this message board and thats why I've decided to stick with it and be a mod till a new group is brought in.

I love this, look likes its Chad's “time of the month” to show up and do something. He will be gone in a week, and show up in another 3. Just to re-build reassurance… why would he ever have to if he didn't loose it every month.

I could quit… but I dunno, I'm already bored enough as it is… at least I'm doing… something…

…………………IT'S A GHOSTBUSTERS WEBSITE !!!! why do you care so much ? i'm not stepping down , chad has never done anything directly to me before , the thing i hate the most about this whole community are the people that take it too seriously and sit around all the time pissing and moaning about chad . jesus , am i the only one that sees this ? wow , all the mods quitting at once , that sure would show him , what an awesome revolution , why i bet he wouldn't sleep for days . and he'd never find anyone out of the 500 some members here that would love to be a mod . some people speak of chad like he broke into their houses and killed their dog . well ya know what ? there isn't anyone forcing you to stay here , if it's such a horrible place to be and you dislike chad so much then i have a neat little plan LEAVE , thats right , go somewhere where you'll be happy . because thats whats important isn't it ? not living a full life , not getting a good job , but being happy with a ghostbusters website and who runs it . i just don't get it sometimes . i'm sure that made me come off as a jerk , but hell , someone had to say it .

this had been a bondo bandit reality check

I know that I'm not a member of some stature, but I have something to say, take it or leave it.

What gives anyone the authority to order people around in a fan community?

I know that there are many scenarios, and such, things dealing with leadership, someone to head up or guide the community.

but here's the thing: People have LIVES, they have a need to support families, and live life. It takes money to do this, sadly. And that means that people like Chad will not have time to commit to Ghostbusters.net AROUND THE CLOCK. There is also the fact that sitting in front of a computer all the time is very harmful to your body. You need exercise. You need to actually move around.

Not only that, but there is something called sleep.

Plus, sure Columbia Pictures owns the rights to Ghostbusters, etc. So if there is anything with legal troubles, then there must be a speaker for the community. This shouldn't be someone that is VOTED in, or elected. This should be someone that's been involved for a long time, and knows legalistics, i.e. Chad.

This is a FAN community, it's time to face up, shut up, and realize that things will never be perfect. ever. If they were, then in MY perfect world, Ghostbusters.net would still be a good working forum, maybe cleaned up a bit and modeled more like it was when first opening, and people were courteous, even if they've talked something to death.

Let's not be stupid ignorant neanderthals and realize that we are INTELLIGENT, and if not, then we should leave, not ask others to leave.

Let's show some maturity and realize that we don't have all the control that we'd like to have.

Good day.

THE BONDO BANDIT
…………………IT'S A GHOSTBUSTERS WEBSITE !!!!

… let me put it a different way. Its a Ghostbusters Website, your a moderator at a Ghostbusters web site. Do you brag about that with your friends? You do have friends don't you?

THE BONDO BANDIT
some people speak of chad like he broke into their houses and killed their dog .

Close.. he actually tried, and well pretty much suceeded in killing off the Ghostbusters Community. I guess you weren't around for any of that, nor knew him personally.

Chad did kill my dog and my brother, but he was drunk. I just killed his cat and his sister to get revenge… but if he does it again… I'm going after him and his little dog too… Woo… I don't really care about any of this anymore.

i've been around for quite some time , and i was around for even longer before i started posting , the point i'm trying to make is that if things don't go the way you like on a ghostbusters website then so what ?? it's ghostbusters website , you'll live . it's certianly not worth all the constant whining i see people do . i've said it before and it stands true , if you hate it so much go somewhere else . chad could ditch this site and put up a page that says “screw all you ghostheads , you're all idiots ” and you know what i'd do ? nothing ,because theres more important things in life than a ghostbusters website and bitching about who runs it and how . as far as the mod thing goes , i like being a mod here , i like coming here , but what i don't do is whine about every little thing that pisses me off . and actually all my friends ( which i have ) know i'm a mod , and they don't really have any oppinion on it , they don't care , nor do they bother me about it . mainly because some of them are members here . if all you want to do is whine about chad then why don't you go over to the nightsquad board ? bo seems to be an expert .

Amazes me this hasn't been locked yet.

And what the hell, I'll toss in my two cents.

One of the last things that was promiced in the final days of GBN, were proper MOD tools, being able to finally deal with problem posters. And one of the things I liked about Eric and RJ's board before the change, were the MOD votes to get rid of a problem posters. We had a vote, and if more then say, four or five people wanted the person gone, and had reason for it, then it was dealt with swiftly. Now, in due respect that Chad has an outside life, it wouldn't be too hard for the MODs to have some banning power, maybe make some MODs junior Admins, or Lieutenants or something, take the general workload off of Chad's responsibility and thus, hopefully start to fix things. But…we'll just have to see.

I don't really hold a side in this arguent, but I have been leaning one way a bit recently, I'm not saying which, I hate this whole argument, but whether I like it or not, I guess I need to play a small part.

Maybe he's right, maybe we all take this way too seriously, but we have to set some sort of exaple for the newer members…oh well, let's see what the MOD votes yeild.
