We're ending this now

I assumed it was a joke and played along a little, though I did think it could have been real, then after I read a certain post, I figured it out and knew it was a joke.

Then props to you. :3

...what post was it?

[Kayo]

So, it looks like I have another thing to add.

5 users pretending to leave, then not is is NO WAY like pretending to commit suicide then saying OMG JUST KIDDING, Rob. Leaving a intercourse in internet forum isn't nearly as extreme as even transferring schools. I would think Mack went crazy for no reason over that, but again, those 5 users, sadly enough, made up at least 60% of the forum's posting.

This "trolling" thing? What? Is THIS part of it too? Come on.. So Mack messed up and got something wrong, and left, from what I hear. It looks to me that Mack is like the typical parent. Gotta be right, right, right, all the time. And when they're wrong, they cover it up with punishments or in this case, quitting. Seriously.

I originally was going to blame the 5 users, because well, this happened before too. That is why a (half-joke, maybe) rule was put in stating "Anyone threatening to leave will be banned" to prevent people from kidding around like this. I guess a single user leaving a forum this small is enough to have an impact. So, five. Again, the 60%+ of the forum posting would have made me mad too if I was Mack. Obviously I can see why Mack was so mad about it. What I don't see is why he couldn't stay.

So, yes. The five users did in a way make Mack leave, and in a way it was their fault, HOWEVER, Mack should have sucked it up and stayed. Therefore, even though it is the five's faults, they are not the ones to blame.

Maybe I'm missing part of the story here, but that's my input.

Like I said, I was suspicious before the post.

I'm surprised Kilroy left, though. Seeing as he was always the first to say "I'll never leave this place" and things like "I'm here to the end, I love it here, this is my second home".

After this, I was like "OH DURP SCAM BISHES"

You need to look at it logically.
5 vital members leaving at one time.
...Didn't that strike you as odd?
Seeing as you're not an IRC regular, Doodle can troll hard.
Now, knowing that, the 4 of us leaving right AFTER Doodle should have struck you as even more suspicious.

But, seeing as you're not an IRC regular, there is no way you could have known about Doodle's trolling, so, I guess you, are one I can't blame for taking it seriously.
Everyone else though, all the IRC regulars, it should have hit you like lightning. You just needed to recall a few things, and it would have all clicked.

But hey, this sort of stuff is impossible. We can't even do anything without causing some sort of poop storm.

I actually did find it quite odd that doodle would just get up and leave like that, and I don't even really come here regularly. I didn't enough enough about the whole situation though.

This whole thing seems really intercoursing stupid to me anyway.

You dolts fail to remember one thing, it doesn't strike some people as odd that a group of you might suddenly leave.  Especially considering all 5 of you are friends/in the same stupid little clique.  Why?  Because stupid poop happens in chat sometimes, and that was what I chocked this up to.  And then before I could read the threads, I was informed of all this poop going on now.  And thinking everyone's going to be "lol you got us" when you came back is idiotic.  You'll get a few laughs from people, but I imagine a nice chunk of people would have just been kind of mad at you.  It was a poopty joke, and looks like us losing Mack now is the price you pay for it.

And it's not just the joke here that made Mack decide to leave.  He's been sick of the attitudes a lot of people give him about how he does his job here, about what people think of this forum, and this was simply the straw that broke the camel's back.

I might mention if our "clique" was going to leave for something happening in chat, we wouldn't have had excuses like "I have to go chase a girl" in fact, such girl isn't even interested in me so I have no chasing to do.

(Sorry, I've been trying to keep the whole me+girl troubles in power down and out of nsider, last time Rio went apepoop and got himself demoted)

WAIT!

This looks familiar...

Oh, yeah~, didn't Silver and Mack do something like this that got everyone worried?  It wasn't nice that time either.  Therefore I can also see it from the "troll party", but then again, most of them were in IRC at that time and knew it was a joke.

Yes, but anyone with half a brain could see that we were intercourse ing around. I mean, how could the top admin of the site get demoted and not retaliate?
