I think its a bit of an overreaction but its Stalin's site so he can decide who he wants and doesn't want on the site.
It's not that he went and made his own site, I encourage people to create their own content which is why I encourage people to advertize their youtube channels here. What Chives did was not that, he created his own website to specifically to spite me because I wouldn't remove Kali as a moderator. Then his natural argument was, "Well the majority of the members what him gone." It was therefore shown to him that that wasn't the case, most people think Kali does a good job and what him to stick around including me. Angry that people didn't agree with his point of view and that I wouldn't act against the majority of the user base he then created his own site then came back and bad mouthed me and Kali then encouraged people to leave this site and join his. That was really were the line was drawn for me. You try and tear this community part, destroy something that I have been building up over the last 2 and half years of my life, with such malicious intent then you clearly have no place here. Why should I let him use my infrastructure to try and destroy it for his own selfish gains? That simply makes no sense. It's like you find out one of youremployees is working behind your back to start his own company, or your friend is telling lies to your current girlfriend so he can split you up and go out with her. What do you do? You fire that employee, or you excise that friend from your life. I am though a forgiving person and if Chives apologizes to me and puts this whole incident behind us I will welcome him with open arms.
I'm not sure if he's going to apologize any time soon, for two things, we haven't really seen any of that on the forums since phpBB3, and he seems really pissed off, and cannot stop talking about it. (as I've seen on the last Stream ComradeLer hosted)
Of course, but my point remains, it's not gonna happen, based on those two things that I've mentioned earlier.
