We need mods like you lot like a great big gaping hole in the head. [ In reply to
this, in case of deletion and because I really meant it dammit... ]
because in the past 2 months the community has gone to shitOh goody, here comes the "things were better when" nostalgia card. *checks watch* Yup, right on time for this "fandom." Been there, seen that, bored now.
I probably shouldn't sign this post, but I'm not a coward, so here goes... *deep breath*
The thing that bothers me most right now about this whole entire thing is how the now former mods of F_W are being demonized by the community and how people are treating them as though they were renegade wankers who suddenly got too big for their britches and overstepped their boundaries.Yes. You are. Because you did.
Did you think we'd ENJOY this little joke? Did you think we'd find it so DREADFULLY amusing, hahahah, to be basically told "You suck, you all suck, and we're taking your toys away because we can, and until WE decide to tell you that it's not permanent we're just going to sit over here in a huddle and lauuuuuugh at all you silly wankers"? Do you think we enjoy being treated like that?
Frankly, my dear, if you believed you could control the wank to your own purposes, you are an idiot. The explosion was inevitable, the bad feelings are unpreventable, and the bad aftertaste is certainly unpleasant. You may have thought this was a clever joke, but there are an awful lot of people out there who are now SALIVATING over the fact that F_W "faw down an' go BOOM." They aren't following all the links, they aren't reading your explainations,
they don't care. They're just pointing and laughing.
Is that the F_Wers' fault for wanking? Honestly, I didn't see much wank at all. Just a lot of honest confusion and the usual making of popcorn and organizing of orgies. Didn't matter, though...in the end, all anyone's going to remember is "gee, that got wanky," and that's all there is to it.
So thanks. You made us the butt of a joke for anyone who's ever rooted for F_W to be TOSed, sued, spammed, or otherwise damaged. Yeah. We needed that.
*sighs* And now I gotta wipe all the spooge off of my nice new monitor. UGH.
