Nothing's changed. It's weird for him to all the sudden be fed up with it, especially considering the state of Nintendo today.

I'm honestly disappointed.

I'm surprised as well. The forums have seen worse (the final name of the Revolution, E3 2008, the launch of the Wii, Red Steel etc.) and people have held in there. In comparison the forums are calmer save for a few.

The reason I left a few months ago was because gaming discussion was in the pit. People were too busy being negative, angsty and ranty in order to discuss game, and that annoyed me. Note that this happened around the end of E3 2008. Now things are a tad different. Hell, people are discussing City Folk without much tension.

When I warned a mod about it all he said was "Eh, it was a mild insult". Whether the insult was harsh or mild it was still a personal attack, and those are against the rules.

I only vaguely recall this incident, but I'm inclined to agree with the mod on this one. Someone calling you a hypocrite isn't a direct insult. It sounds like someone disagreed with you and you went crying to mommy. Mommy told you to grow a pair. (Believe it or not, I don't mean this in a rude way--it's just the only way I can think to describe it.)

If someone called you a moron for saying two different things at different times it's an insult. If someone calls you a hypocrite for the same reason it's not an insult, they're just calling you out.

Calling someone a hypocrite is a direct personal attack. Being called a hypocrite is not a nice thing. Regardless of whether it's mild or harsh. And if that's against the rules then it's against the rules. It just goes to show that depending on the Mod who gets the complaint the discipline or lack there of, is where the problem is. There should be one standard and all members should be held to that and Mods should not pick and choose how they act on the complaints.

The problem with Mods is some don't know the difference between friends and business friends.

Sessha:
Well that really sucks, I was never around that long, I was a lurker a long time from the planetgamecube days and then for a while I posted around but there were a few members I thought would be around forever, Bill, Pap, Kairon, and Ian. It really won't be the same without him.

EasyCure:
The saddest part is even if things changed tomorrow, Bill wouldn't be back in full force because of his personal/proffesional life.. He was going to have to go eventualy, and this wasn't how it shuld've been.
