swdivad Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Now that all the introductions and welcomes have happened... we have Gran here... Now I don't have a problem with him and never did, although, as you know, there has been much controversy over the leaders of the old board. I know he was the initiator of the RWG watch and all, we know what happened surrounding that [censored] mess... the collapse of an empire basically. I don't know what happened in the background with Gran and the refusal of him being a moderator of this board, and really don't care... it's doing great and things seem to be running smoothly. I also don't know if he had anything to do with the disappearance of members' monies. All I know is that there were a bunch of rumours flying around just after the new board was conceived... Then came the mad deleting of posts and finally the sudden disappearance of Gran... then the message from his wife that he was sick in the hospital etc etc etc.... (etc) Sound a biy like a soap opera to you??? Sure does to me... and a damn good one at that! Anyway, the reason for my post is not to bring up old [censored] or anything like that... but this multiple persona, mask; however you want to 'define' it; without some kind of out or explanation is all a bit much for a run of the mill guy like me. Maybe I'm strange and unique in my thinking... but for some reason, I don't think so. On top of all that... the guy's waving his RWG collaboration watch (read middle finger) at everyone in the air like nothing ever happened. OK... flame away if you will... But in the end, I think there is something missing here without some closure to what's happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I arrived after the whole mess started churning up, but it does seem like we're missing something. I'm not American, so I don't need the closure thing that people seem to go on about on TV, but I wouldn't mind a bit of denouement, instead.

Ken Well, no....but, what are the chances of getting a more complete explanation? As long as "precautions" are maintained, so as to insure that it won't happen again, here - ever - that may be as good as its gonna get.

KenMc Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'm not a member at the rep collector, but I am not about to doubt that Gran has his personal problems, don't we all? I lost $ 50 - big whoopdi compared to what rwg1 saved me overall. My issue is with Blade, he's the one that owes us an explanation, however a bright white light will shine from my sphincter before that story is told.

Dirk Pitt Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I am one of the few that got their RWG watch (I had another username there) so I can’t complain. However, the entire situation was/is bizarre and personally I don’t blame gran for the mess as it all went south once blade took control and everything became so secret. Anyway, I do feel bad for all those that never received their watch and hope that one day it will be resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I've been doing a lot of reading over there and haven't come across the explaination thread yet Was he the guy that deleted posts, changed text and basically caused havoc on the old site as people were trying to rescue it? Or have I got the whole thing messed up? Like I say, I arrived as the old site was closing down and don't know that much about anything.

Esmarc Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 JF, Sound statements from a sound moderator. Glad that someone who has been around for the whole while to step up to the plate and address the facts, not just sweep them under the rug.

new & improved osteopath Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 How about a clear, detailed, chronologically ordered explanation. Clear the air, make things right. Best I can tell, there are a whole bunch of folks who feel they have been left in the dark, and that by and large they would feel better simply knowing the truth. That being the case, I just love looking at the photo ot tatu in Iso's avatar. -O BTW- Where is Klink??? I was hoping for some cryptic, thought provoking, and confusing input on this topic- but alas, nowhere to be found! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Gran, I'm another who wouldn't normally want an explanation of your past actions but I think if you want to clear the air you should really be honest with us and lay your cards on the table. The machinations over at the old RWG always puzzled me. Personally, I’d like to know what happened and why. Anyway, it’s good to see you’re feeling better and welcome aboard.
