Did you hear that China censors their google search engines? This is so that the little yellow people don't realise that their government are evil commy bastards.

All praise Hu Jintao!!

Thanks!
(honestly Bob you put alot of work in and I respect that but some of the decisions are less than thought out rationally)

Funny, you must have me confused with some other staff. Jorus and Broadband, for instance. Now those two have tempers.

I'll leave this up to let everyone take a look, because if you haven't noticed, I make it a point of not saying "because admins say so" or "be happy you still have a shard". I give you the reasons behind each decision and discuss them so that everyone can decide for themselves whether it was a rational decision, with all the information they need to do so.

The only censoring i do is topic moderation, i.e. removing bitchposts who refuse to discuss/read, so that the topic itself may continue moving on. And as you've noticed, i've take input from players and work it in, and if players present valid viewpoints on decisions, i relook at them and consider them.

Obsidian is not the gestapo, nor is it a paid mmo. However that doesn't mean staff will be unprofessional, nor does it mean I will use the "its my shard, I say so" excuse.(I can't speak for other staff here, this is my personal viewpoint).

So as i said. Let everyone decide for themselves how things really are. You might be presently suprised.

well at least we know one thing is gonna stay the same, my little dude on the game will still be a big ole pimp.

I think you need to rethink why you posted that belg. You're a better person than the one posting some of these petty comments.

Regardless of how much you all agree with the changes, I want to thank Bob for putting up with ALL the crap he has been putting up with and still being optimistic about it all. You've been doing a truly wonderful job Bob and thank you, it is appreciated, just not voiced enough.

I have never once said i don't appreciate all the work he has done, and whether i agree wit his ideas or not has nothing to do with what i said. All i said was do we really need a Thank you GMBob post form the same person every 3 days.

must be some e-penile thing

i'm not saying it

"Our bitchings will block out the sun!"

"Then we will patch the server in the shade!"

Heh, heh...

Hang in there. Heck knows I can be a boring prick sometimes even though I don't swear as eloquently as some others do.

However, I love this shard. But I wonder how many people think about what the rest are going through in their real life (tm).

Not that we should all be "touchy feely" but...

Just something to think about.

(Cyber walks away whistling...)
