in response to some of the previous posts, some of us were pushed out by force despite pouring in massive dedications and sure i guess there was different circumstances at the time especially surrounding my time as CM towards the end, not to be fully ignorant because i made my own errors too, but keep in mind you'd be heavily witch hunted if you dared spent a couple weeks doing something else despite dedicating a very long time putting stuff together, developing things and dealing with community matters. this is not an issue now with things being a lot more relaxed but rather that i think the damage has been done now and we're now seeing the consequences of it years later. obviously there is more to the latter but this did play a part to be quite honest.

there's only so many people you can fall back onto before you really need to start scratching the bottom of the barrel and that comes with no disrespect to the recent CM's but what is their purpose? i can only assume they are there purely to suggest and test updates? we've had no info other than "discussed plans" on the front page of the forums, once again going back to a lack of transparency. i can at least confidently say Richard's purpose has been shown right off the bat, he has always had dedication and shown a lot of really hard work put in, deserving of a position given the sort of person he is too and being a former CM plays a part too.
