I had a special podcast ready for when the Total War Horde website actually launched telling people to go there. I'd have put up some fake description about what was in it and then bam.

This is all after the fact, I guess.

So we would have heard your Ryan Seacrest like voice saying:

"All right all you ladds and ladies, for all your total war news go to ...".

Finish the story please Archer.

(*Disappears again).

Nahh..I don't have the time , energy, motivation (basically anything that required to finish the story

)to mess around with this.

Instead, send me a questionnaire or something...mail me with interview questions..whatever is burning in your mind, questions...and so on. I'm too old.

Never say never. Why do you think you've seen an impressive growth in content staff since i took over?

I would just like to point out that the article linked happened a long time ago and was motivated by Hex politics which i found out wasn't In Sim or my best interests. It is possibly the only political move I have come to regret and would like to point out that the content in the article is in no way a reflection of Sim's conduct within staff.

I reserved the place for it, paid the fee for the tab (47 dollars, IIRC) for a placeholder and begun to think about how to go forward, because I felt, this place is getting out of the yoke it has been stuck in and Belisarius can correct me on this (if he still has any chatlogs or memorized it) , but I had a vision of stepping down from being the webmaster and becoming a network admin, to deal only with technical aspects running the forum (much like Simmetrical right now) and stay out of the politics and administration of the forum.

This is true.

Also, as I remember, when I resigned the last thing I did was recommend WBK to replace me as mediator, which as far as I know he did.

More, please.

Then you made me stay up my night.

For the love of God and/or country, who was the brave admin who admitted Belisarius again to be a moderator?

I've talked to a lot of members that enjoy reading the old history of the site, so if there's the time, and you are motivated....

I think you are trying to recall a certain Meiyogen...

All interesting and it is certainly filling in some holes in my knowledge.

Oh Bingo! Yeah he sounded as a nice guy and so on, but since he came from the outer circles of the twcenter galaxy, most people lacked trust in those sort of people..can't blame it though...the process of the Curia -raised moderators were senior members of the forums with many posts and friends under their belt.

LOL, for crying out loud! I'm just peaking in! And looking at the hot chicks in your avatars instead!

**Belisarius** · May 03, 2010, 11:01 AM

**Belisarius** · May 04, 2010, 05:29 AM

What is in the water in the Magnanimous House of Siblesz that creates "vilified" administrators?

**Simetrical** · May 13, 2010, 01:51 PM

I still have all my MSN logs from that era too, for what it's worth. Just read through some with Ogre and Besim . . . mostly them bothering me with tech questions, or vice versa. But man, I have loads more. I looked through my logs with Justinian and found, well, actually also mostly him bothering me with tech questions, but also a January 2007 log of lots of people getting together to form seditious plans against ON. It would take ages to look through all this stuff, though.
