Whenever I tried to get on the chat, I either failed because technical reasons, or succeeded and was totally alone. And that's why I'm never seen on the chat :3

There's usually someone on chat at all times, less frequently in the mornings. (in my time)

Disclaimer: none of these messages have been edited, context can be provided if needed (thanks discord!) but absolutely does not change anything about these messages and that he's too overly defensive and cocky to make situations better

Karyete: I don't have anything to say to you, I've been deliberately trying to not offend you for years, actually, but apparently everything I say to you is wrong. You come across as so aggressive that you successfully intimidated me into not wanting to talk to you
Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.
Karyete: How pathetic

I haven't attempted to get on in who-knows-how-long, so I don't think that was the case back then. Stupid timezones :x

You should try getting on now when you have the time. We've stopped linking people to mibbit (which is what was causing so many technical issues for people in the past) to a new web client which is much cleaner, prettier, and most importantly, much MUCH more technically reliable. It's called KiwiIRC -- just put in "#runouw,#main" for the channels or add them to the end of the link if you're bookmarking it (sorry, [url] tag was being weird). Hopefully, if we get more people to try to get online more often, there will be more of a chance that the chat won't actually be dead (and it usually isn't, honestly...maybe you were just coming online at a weird time like when everyone is at school/work for some reason, or if people were playing a game or something. You're in the UK, right? There are plenty of regulars from timezones around there.). Alternatively, there's the CyTube for which there's a thread in Off-Topic somewhere (honestly can't really be bothered to look for it right now but the link is http://cytu.be/r/runouw I think), but for the most part, that's just a backup chat or something we use when we want to watch videos or listen to music together.

Good luck to the new staff members and promoted staff members, but mostly I came here to mourn the fall of some of my fellow ancients. Many thanks to all who are being demoted for their years of service, and especially to Usu, Chau, and my one-time forum brother Buff for being among my closest friends here on Runouw. (Nothing personal Nwolf, you just joined a little later in the game after I was already getting out.) No idea if you're all still floating about the forums or if you're gone for good, since I'm not here enough myself to be aware of these things, but if you are leaving us for good, good luck and godspeed with your lives. I imagine you won't really need it though, since being awesome comes pretty naturally to y'all.

It's so weird to be in a world where once upon a time, myself, Blab, MIC, Chau, Suyo, and Buff were all mods... and now none of us are. That's before even getting to the non-mods in office, like Yoshi Boo, Usuario, Shade, etc etc...

Out of the 2009 crew, only Brando and Ninny still hold positions of power. Wow.

Well, I went away for like, 4 days and this happens

It's actually pretty awesome to see new staff. Have to say I agree with all the changes that were made.

Anyway, welcome to the staff guys!

We have a new demotion, unfortunately.

Please let's all give a warm goodbye to Triple J, previously a level mod, now a registered user again.
This was on his own terms, so if he'd like to say a few words, it's totally up to him.

(he's not leaving the site altogether I don't think, just his moderator duties.)

There are no plans for a replacement currently.

Yeah, I've become exhausted with the position, plus I'm most likely getting a real-life job rather soon. I'll still be around, but my activity has diminished due to interest changes.

EDIT: I also want to make it clear that I haven't dropped LDing entirely, but it isn't exactly as much of a priority to me as it used to be.

Welcome back to the mortal side.
It's good to see that you're stepping ahead in live.
Always been nice to have you around, back in my lemon times.
(Especially for taking the role of the (dis)approval master.)
So yeah. That's currently pretty much everything I've to say to this demotion.

Big thank you to FrozenFire who created this masterpiece. : )
