Why is the admin now named Adi-ë? Where is theListo now? My first guess was its just one of those stupid name changes, but he also changed his post count, email and more, so it seems to be a new account. So, what happened? *edit* That stupid name change JS of course changed the account-name I wanted to type into his profile name...

At this point in time, only a few people know exactly what is happening. My advice is to go under a desk, grab on to a leg, and cover your neck. If there is a fire, run. We can all regroup in the play-ground until the administrators come and check us off and give us those packets of snacks we put in a big garbage can in case of emergency.

No, all I can say is that you must expect a variety of situations. Fires, earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes are all possibilities. It is also possible that nothing shall transpire. My greatest fear is the atomic bomb. The survivors can stagger off together and build their life anew under the full moon to come.

And the ODBF show begins again. Something weired happens, nobody knows what exactly happened, security rules get removed, nobody answers with serious comments admins play games with their names or go mental with speaking spanish. All this at the moment we might finally find out about theListo and the forum being official... Later weired conspiracy crap will show up, and a week later nobody talks about it ... and you guys wonder why people are leaving the forum?

There is a chance for it to be yet another drill. Or some one hijacked listo's account.

I hope we made it clear enough, that drills are absolutely stupid and have no purpose. If this is a drill, seriously, I'm gonna think of something to make em not do it again. And about admin accounts: I thought we had that security JS:
/* Protect High Staff Accounts */ //change to high staff accounts that must be protected var protect = /^(generalveers|admin|g|pickleman|qwertyuiop|shadowlord|ggoodie12)$/i;
if(pb_username != 'protect') { if(document.modifyForm && document.modifyForm.user.value.match(protect) && pb_username != document.modifyForm.user.value){ var obj = document.modifyForm.parentNode; obj.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('b').item(0).innerHTML = 'An Error Has Occured'; obj.innerHTML = 'You are not allowed to modify this person's profile.'; } }
Oh wait, its useless... my bad.

Well yes, there is a certain amount of instability. And no, this is not a drill. The best I can hope is for the storm to blow over. I fear things may not go back to normal this time. However, at this point, I'm going to divulge some information. First of all, Adi-ë is a formal German word for farewell. Listo may, or may not, be using this word literally, I myself am unsure. What is fairly clear is that he is sick and tired of rebellion, and is on the verge of taking action. Qwerty has not been on for quite a while, and to my knowledge, nobody knows what has happened to him. The nature of the situation is serious, and constantly shifting. The trend is anti-climactic, so I hope to see tensions die down. At this point however, I fear for the very existence of this Forum. Yet I hope not to fear of the community's. Please contact me if anything goes wrong. Also, mark the 25th on your calendar, it will be the day something will happen, if anything happens...

Mister Farad here seems to continue beating around the bush, as well as making poor usage of metaphor. To be blatant, I don't know whats happening. There is effectively nothing going on in the Staff board, but for all I know, the High Staff could be going stark raving mad. That having been said, there is no certainty. I make my disclaimer here and now; the statements yet to come are purely conjecture, speculation, and incomplete fact. I will not be held to or liable for the potential results or reactions that may or may not be a result, direct or indirect, of the following statements.Listo is getting sort of tired of it. He's tired of looking after the forum, as he has a personal life, a social life, a girlfriend, fun stuff like that (don't forget the love glove, Listo). He's also somewhat tired of rebellion. I submit to being a prime member in the general anti-listo mentality movement, and to have played a part in some of the less extreme attempts of overthrowment. I was, however, not present for what I have been told is the most recent and most prominent of said uprisings, it seems to have been a tipping point. We do not know what will happen, however. Yet another of Listo's errors would be his secretivity - it has been suspected that something of great proportions will take place on the twenty fifth, andd conjecture ranges from turning over the account to deleting the forums. We do. not. know. However, I will say this. In the face of adversity, we have never ceased to hold the line. I have seen rank upon rank of members leave and join this community, including those before, of, and after my time. But not once have I seen us falter. I can only hope that I speak for those other than myself when I say that this community has grown far beyond a group of people involved and interested in a poorly translated japanese gaming site. Whatever happens, be it on the twenty fifth of this month, of the next, or any time before, between, or after, we will endure. And with this, I bid farewell. Of times past and times to come, Foxtrot-Delta-Zero-Zero Once More Unto The Breach

Well yes, there is a certain amount of instability. certain amount... this is the single most instable forum I know... "ë" is not even was a german letter. Did you mean adieu? I have yet to see some kind of rebellion. There are only people that don't believe he is coding PG and want to know for sure. If he wanted, he could prove himself without problems. But he doesn't, that makes me wonder why. To be honest, I wouldn't care if this forum went down and a new came up. Proboards sucks balls and if we for once got 2-3 admins that don't waste their time injecting useless JS code and choose a reasonable password, there would never ever ever be a problem with security. Also if a new one would arise, we at least would know for sure how this forum is connected to dan-ball and could make serious attempts to change the status officially to official. 25th... are you serious? What is that date and why should something happen then - maybe? Also, mark the 15h on your calendar, it will be the day something will happen, if anything happens... can't hurt to mark a second day...

Don't be snide, I'm just failing to refrain from telling you guys stuff. Also, I like this Forum a lot. I don't want it to be deleted.

So, there's a single name change and everyone assumes we are freaking out? I leave for half a week, and THIS happens? Seriously?
Anyway, we haven't entered any javascript or anything in awhile, and we only had a single drill. Sure, Listo's tried something before that, but still.
Disabled, do not insult me personally. Ever. I don't inject random JS code and my password is more secure than most here.
Don't you think you are overreacting a bit? Listo changed his name. So what?

Its not just a name change. He removed his Email, I don't remember how many posts he had, but probably more then 112 and his position is "Full Member" and you tell me he just changed his name? Seriously? And qwerty, I really try hard not to insult you... its not always easy though.

Well, I for one feel like an idiot. I had a bit of a chat with Qwerty. He reminded me that crazy stuff is routine. I also read my earlier posts. While I would like to blame the sheer stupidity the first two on the hour at which they were written, I cannot. I was overreacting, I wanted to tell you guys stuff, but I didn't really feel like I could. I was genuinely afraid that the Forum would be deleted, and I wanted to keep us all together. I was also in a funny corner of my mind right then. The best way to describe it is to say that my imagination was conflicting with real events and it made me post stupid metaphors.
Now I would like to talk to you about the staff. The staff aren't really some evil/apathetic/crazy/cynical group of members who have way too much power. The staff are the active members who show some integrity, and are thus given a position of responsibility. For the most part, these people are upstanding Forum members and role models for the incoming community. By in large, they are very sane and cool headed. While I am sane, I am not cool headed. Qwerty and Veers, in particular, are excellent people. I trust them very much, and they guide me through the process of becoming a better forum member, fashioned in their image. While little to none of you disrespect Veers, some of you seem to have an adversity to Qwerty. I myself was a little fed up with Qwerty for a time. What you have to realize is that some people don't like having their buttons pushed. Qwerty is one of those people. If you don't push his buttons, he won't push back. One staff member, however, worries us all. I am referring to theListo. I like Listo very much, but he occasionally worries a not so cool headed type such as myself when he says he is going to delete the Forum. I'm not in Listo's head right now, but I think I have a fairly clear idea of WHY he would say such a thing. He is sick and tired of feeling like he is disliked. It isn't fun to be disliked. I myself went through a phase in my life where I was socially persecuted just for being me. For all you out there who dislike Listo, I can only say that he has done a great many wonderful things for this Forum. He's a guide and a leader, and does a good job at it. His only issues are derived from being a little sore at people hating on him. Well, that and making the chat really dirty every time he comes on... But all in all, he's a wonderful guy who certainly has quite a bit of integrity. I wish to formally apologize to all of you for whipping you up in to a frenzy. I would also like to apologize to you, Listo, for inciting derogatory comments to your name and doubting your excellent, though sometimes erratic leadership. We would like it if things settled out a bit, but I for one will always follow your lead.

Ggoodie, you've said that many times. To paraphrase Disabled signature, saying it doesn't make it true. Anyway, what happened? I feel like I just woke up from a blackout.

Somewhat. Still a bit confused. I don't see any posts by Listo stating his intentions, just one by Veers in the high staff board.

No, you wouldn't. Most of this transpired via chat. It was very fast paced. I forgot save most of the chat logs though. In any case, I will not be releasing them to the public.
