You might be wondering why - what "our" side of the story is. Well, this is a personal issue between her and Conquer Club's administration and I don't feel it's right to discuss the details in public.
I'll just say she wasn't asked to step down because she had Lyme's disease, or because she had disagreements with us. There was no one thing that decided it - it was a culmination of things behind and in front of the scenes. What made it all the more difficult, was the fact that she was a key part of Conquer Club's personality, and her and I had shared many good times and laughs.
I've been talking with wicked about how to part ways amicably for well over a week now, and I'm disappointed by her choice to do otherwise. But I'd still like to go ahead and post what I had planned to say, because it is true and the bottom line:
Since wicked had became a moderator 2 years ago she has volunteered an unbelievable amount of time. She's helped out in so many ways from assisting newbies to confronting trouble makers to dealing with loads of feedback conflicts to watching over live chat. The Conquer Club community is what it is today in large part because of her efforts and we really do appreciate her contribution.
I personally hold no ill feelings toward wicked, how could I after all she has done? I wish wicked lots of fun participating in the game and our special community as a member-at-large.
After all, CC is all about fun. I want you to have fun and I want our volunteers and staff to have fun helping you have fun. That's the way I've always envisioned how this website should be. Yes, this all sucks, a lot, but I'll continue to pour my life into keeping CC centred on fun.
When all was said and done...lack let Twill run amuck and Twill fucked up the site. Hopefully the new owners can salvage the damage done by poor management decisions. However, I'm not as gung ho over Conquerclub as I used to be. A lot of the personalities that I knew here back in 2007 have gone away or were banned over miniscule offenses. Trigger happy mods being led by Twillonazi wrecked the site and it never was the same after that. Wicked should never had been fired...but that is up for debate.
I've paid good money to the site over the years, just to be banned by Twill; and then have the new management launch a campaign of retrieving excommunicated members. But the feeling isn't there anymore, hardly anyone is here posting anymore. I remember when we could spend all night posting in the forums...now it takes forever for anyone to post. I know it's a gaming site...but the forums really build the community. I feel the community here has been lost...at least to me. I don't play games anymore. I haven't looked at the forums for a long, long time.
I actually came back to the site to look up a recipe I had posted...but I can't find that recipe anymore. Any money to this site is pretty much "I feel sorry for this website" money. I am sorry...I am just venting how I feel. Hopefully it is taken with a grain of salt.
