Spiritwind may have mixed up his timelines and the story wasn't entirely accurate, but that's precisely why Caution, rather than Dominic, should be responding. Dominic's credibility is questionable, as he's only in his position by a thin margin. Regardless of who uses this account or their identity, the aim has been to maintain objectivity and political neutrality. The reluctance to respond stems solely from ego, nothing more. Read your own reply. This place, often seen as a revolving door, treats its many members poorly, and the only label deemed fitting for those who disagree is "butt-hurt ex-staff member," which is laughable. Dominic lacks insight into his own situation and required Spiritwind's blunt, if not entirely precise, intervention & correction. It's surprising to see someone hide their Napoleon complex long enough to engage with anyone on this thread and try to come off well-meaning. In terms of human existence, Caution excels - financially successful, above-average intelligence, and physically capable. Conversely, Dominic is portrayed as financially unstable, of below-average intellect, and physically weak, occupying his time with meaningless tasks and oblivious to the criticisms, including those from Spiritwind and many others that could occupy an entire separate thread, dozens of pages long. Not from when you were 16, but pretty much the entire time. Again, you have a Napoleon complex and it is what brought you here & why you stay. Caution's actions don't demean his worth as a person; they simply highlight his shortcomings as a leader in a gaming community, big fucking whoop other than he's being a little hypocritical to claim nostalgia factor and allow it to get to the point where there are no actual well-rounded, non tiny-dick humans to call upon. It's crucial for everyone here to ensure their passwords and personal information are unique and secure across different platforms, given the history of security breaches and the potential risks involved here, I highly suggest it. None of the responses in this thread are made to hurt to Dominic or Caution's feelings, all of the people agreeing with some of the harshest criticism agree because they have sat trying to fix this place and when they got to the highest point they realized what Dominic doesn't or is knowingly taking advantage of, that the actual human who owns this place is the only person who will be able to fix it. Who should own SG is an entirely on-topic discussion, Dominic is only ignorant of that fact because the person who owns it decided he would be VP after he... told them they were all retarded? Lol. Can we exercise even a little bit of introspectiveness and have an actual discussion? My post contained the recipe to making this place work, I will post it again and if someone can tell me why it can't work I'll stop questioning why it hasn't been done. Gator may have been absent during the communities absolute height and the morons around that time may have gotten scammed into moving servers to Canada by a tech-larper but I think it's more retarded & egregious to be posting about how you're going to kill the forums when the community is near-dead because of your inaction. Anyone's who detracts away from this needs to leave this community. If you aren't interested in voice chats, forum posts, playing games, running events, watching movies, and being friendly then please get the fuck out. The clique that Dominic travels with and has traveled with previously has frankly always been people who pretty much break the rules, treat new people like shit, and harass people while thinking it's funny. You guys promoted John to BD. That guy needs to be in a rubber room with grippy socks. What a joke.

Why does the board persist in managing this place without the humility to either hand it over to someone else or shut it down entirely? It's a waste of your own time, and soon it'll only be your time to waste because you've already managed to chop the community down to nearly nothing. Most of these people who used to work for free just for vanity's sake or to be a piece of shit have no one to even bully or impress, so many of them are basically in a catatonic state over whether they'll actually want to help. It's apparent that most people here either lack understanding of what is wrong or are unwilling to resolve the issues. I doubt there's anyone suitable to take over, considering the current members. A quick look at the staff page shows those with technical skills often lack emotional maturity, and those who are slightly invested are mostly driven by nostalgia and ego. Is Caution content with this community's decline as long as he retains control? If there's no interest in creating servers, hosting friendly voice chats, or fostering a welcoming environment, why keep this community alive, except for the same self-serving reasons that contributed to its downfall? This is a serious inquiry. The constant over-planning, bullshit drama show, and implementing drastic changes for their own sake are futile. Micro-management and ineffective leadership have played a significant part in the community's decline. It's telling that after more than a decade, few are willing to step up and save this place, and those who try are often insincere. When the servers were thriving, forums active, and voice chats busy, that was when the community truly worked. It's no surprise that many of those same effective members were banned or left, due to failed leadership and others who were either incompetent or disruptive that wouldn't be removed or manipulated ownership / higher-ups. Persisting with inadequate teams, who lack the board's confidence (Caution and Dominic do not respect you, they most likely make fun of you in private) and fail to meet expectations, won't save this community. Instead of drafting pointless forum posts and seeking feedback, which only highlights desperation, the board should take tangible actions. Create a server, organize an event, or pass the leadership to someone capable. Caution and Dominic do not have the intelligence or emotional maturity to continue to run this place. The way both of them act will permanently be like there is a never-ending of supply of people to be shitty towards. The response as always will for sure be a puzzling "what do you want us to do", which has always been make a server, then make another, run events, interact with people through here and Discord. The reason the community is dead is because you are not willing to do these things and it's for that reason you should either close it, pass it to the next class president, or leave entirely.
