Maybe back in the day, pointless chatter was the lifeblood of the forum, but not anymore... the community is infested with parasites (I won't point them out, haha) and it's dying.
The first layers of the forum are filled with old-timers (the elite, the veterans).
I'm curious, why do you perceive any post from someone with a blue or green username as an order, a demand, a threat to your home, your family, and your pets, or a personal insult? It's as if these people are some kind of evil beings who are trying to kill you all because that's the goal of their lives!... But is that really the case, or is it just how you perceive them? Why not treat posts as a request or advice? And you're wrong to say that they've become arrogant and are acting like they own the place. Maybe you've become complacent, you're bored, and you want to create chaos, start a rebellion, and invent enemies for yourselves... but these people (including me) just want things to go back to how they were! Look, Kosha wrote that things were better before, and Al too... but now everything has changed... and who is to blame for that? Is it the administration? I doubt it.
You think I see you as my enemies and I'm fighting against you? I'm fighting against what you're doing because I don't like it, and it's changing the forum, and I want it to remain as good, interesting, and fun as it used to be! (That's why I closed the "pub" section). Even if I weren't a moderator, I would still speak out against your actions because I believe they are bad, stupid, and will not lead to anything good, and not because I've gained "power" (and it's a very questionable power) and I want to shove everyone's face in the mud.
P.S. Treat the administration as people (users), and only then take their ranks on the forum into account
