Hey I think the admin position that Muff has needs to be passed to someone else.
He hasn't posted in more than 3 months and probably lost interest in the clan. And yet he is an Admin. I think that someone else should take his position like Sirias, Sinow, me or someone that is committed to this site. What do yall think?

personally lug..i would not trust sinow as admin..and right now its not like any of the admins are doing anything now.

we should not jump to any decisions until someone talks to muff :/ ive heard that he is still active on maple story...so why doesnt someone ask him whats up

is there really anything to be filled though...its not like we each have our own specific job.we are supposed to...but no1 noone really does anything but tails..and ace does some too o_o...i do jack squat..(i guess i provided a few things...like banner and quote generator..)

Please excuse me for a moment as I point something out: on your average message board, or on one of Blaze's forums, especially, a member suggesting that such an action like this be taken would be laughed upon, not taken seriously, and most likely closed. Generally, it's solely the admin and other high-ranked members who would decide if such a member is to be stricken from their position. Yet VSC is different. We crafted it to have virtually no ranks, in which one member's voice can have dramatic impact.

I unfortunetly agree with you, Lug, over the fact that something must be done about this. Taking Muff's position away seems extreme, and perhaps unfair, but then again... he has been unactive, and it looks bad on VSC's part. It would be in this clan's best interest if we had an Elite Commander who performs his roles. It doesn't matter to me if we choose to either warn Muff and try to get him reinvolved, or simply replace his position. That's just something we have to further debate. In my opinion, we should give Muff some time to respond to our warnings, to be absolutely fair. One thing's for sure, the worst thing to do is nothing, so we should act soon about this (depite the fact that the position wouldn't need to be filled immediately, but it still would need to be... eventually).

I guess next time I see Muff on AIM or playing Maple Story, I will bug him about our little problem. It's not like he's drifted away from the Clan entirely, just has totally forsaken his duties has a Forum Administrator for no apparent reason. But there's a chance Muff has a perfectly fine explanation for his abscence, and if he doesn't... I believe he deserves a second chance. We can't go and replace Muff's position without his consent... Only to have his return with all of his power stripped from him due to lack of activeness on the boards.

If it's possible, I want all VSC members to contact Muff (if you can) and let him know about this issue.... Please.

- Seems like a little conspiracy too me... heh. We should at least wait for a week so that Muff has some time to post... if he ever gets my message that is. Anyway, if he doesn't reply, we'll just remove his administrating power and just give it to someone else? Who else is there? I'm not really sure it'll make much difference if someone else DOES get the rank, but still... -

I've sent a message to Muffin Man at 'The Gate Beyond' but he's kinda non-active there as well... Ace, when was the last time you saw him? On AIM or MS? Maybe he could be in a dilemma and can't really post here. Maybe he's in the hospital, lol, nah I don't think so, and even if he was, he'd still bring the computer to him so he could play MS.

That's kinda sad...

Anyway, why would Muff just go away from this site? Honestly, he wouldn't just abandon us here after so much, something must've happened to him. Maybe he's really addicted to MS... what a stupid excuse. Along with homework. Muff's done a lot, so I don't really understand any reason for him to just go away, right?

Wow.

I can't believe how you guys are all so concerned about me, although I do admit that my unexcused and unexplained absence has gone on for far too long and for no apparent reason.
Don't get me wrong, I am still addicted to VSC as I ever was, it's just a lot has been happening in my life lately, much of it school-related. In fact, right now I am on house arrest for truancy, I'm failing almost all of my classes, and I haven't been doing so well at work either. I know these reasons don't justify the void I've left here, and I feel very nostalgic about all the good times I must have missed out on. But no more.
I am making a vow, to everyone here that still has faith in me, and trusts me, that I will never again miss out on the things that will be going on here, not even for a day if I have it in my power to get online and stay active here.

Sadly, this is the second time I have made such a promise, and I can't believe that you who do still trust me. I'm even starting to feel like Blaze, like I've abandoned you all. But, as summer is once again nearly here, this time there won't be a chance for me to break another promise.
So, this means I will be more active than ever before, I'll be doing everything I can to improve things around here(if there is any room for improvement, so much has changed for the better since I've been gone), and also, if the members think I deserve to lose my administration access, I will understand completely and there will be no hard feelings against those who feel this way.

And if you all think I truly deserve a second chance, it will not be a waste in any way at all.

Hey Muff, I too, am in shock, that many of us were all judging you the way we did (we actually believed you abandoned us intentionally, lol... amn, were we wrong). I'm actually pleased to see that your absense didn't occur for absolutely no reason, thus you didn't tag any excuses along with it. I can tell that you're really occupied with the struggles of your daily routine, and sometimes that can interfere with your freetime all together. But with proper management, I know you can set aside sometime to spend with your family of fellow gamers. Afterall, as the saying goes... when life's got you down, you can always rely on your ol' friends at CBT/VSC to cheer you up. Atleast, I'm assuming that's how it works, heh. But honestly, don't let the troubles of life stress you out. In the end, you'll be fine. Plus, we'll always here to ease the pain. That's just how life is. Live and learn.

Yep, we all missed you, and I know I for one, am happy to see you're back. After hearing your condition, it wouldn't be fair to ask that you become extremely active, but just try your best to visit as much as you can.

You posted here just in time, Muff. You've cleared your good name, and your position can stay where it is. Welcome back. :tails:

Dude for real its just a forum. Failing all of ur classes i believe IS a valid excuse for not being here..unless this forum is just ur life. Ppl on here say gunbound is my life and here yall are making a big deal out of a forum. 500 posts, 1000 posts, 2000 posts, and yall think im adicted to certain things? All i gotta say is straighten ur life out before you think you have to post 20 times a day muff. Its not like you BEING here will make things become all good or make 99999 members join per day. And i wouldnt say u've missed "good times" cept maybe you would like to know i was banned for a few weeks but yea w/e.

Hmmm... who said it wasn't a valid excuse?

I certaintly don't encourage "20 posts a day". Hell, "5 posts a day" would be pushing it. Nobody says he even has to post every day... or every week... nobody *has* to post. Posting is not a chore. You do it for fun, occasionally. And over long periods of time, those few posts here and there can add up. That's all it is.

Well, nobody can understand VSC's potential if they look at it as a forum (lmao, sorry all.. looks like I'm going into another "speech"). There's a lot more to VSC than what goes on here, and our dedication and "obsession", if you will, takes place within the games we play (online and off) and the gamers we play with. It's called social interaction. It's also called gaming.

The amount of members a message board has is not important. "Good times" don't come from a few posts on some forum. Its interaction that makes memories. Activenness on these forums is just a cornerstone of VSC.

But Lifeless, you make a valid point. By all means, Muff, don't refrain from putting your personal life in front of VSC in terms of your priorities (of cource, I doubt you needed me to tell you that).
