Wow!
Well, this has been an interesting day or two, no? Apparently the "owners" over at Subeta.org feel that if they put their hands over their eyes, things will just go away. They can take away all of the social aspects of the site, and users won't notice that things aren't right.
They're wrong, and don't give users enough credit. The entire time they've been with Subeta, one thing that has been shown over and over is they're lack of understanding in loyalty. They didn't understand how loyal the users would be to me in this situation, and they didn't think that certain staff members would be loyal after all that has happened.
More than anything, they don't understand the trust users have in me, and how long it takes to earn that. I have nothing but your best interests, and that of Subeta, when I think of what to do next. While this is my living, and it's my job, it also means the difference to more than a thousand people daily. They come here before they do other things, they talk to their friends on Subeta, they dress up their avatar, they battle with their pets (sort of o_o). The only way those two over at Subeta.org see users is as giant dollar signs, that can be replaced right when one goes away.
That's why I know, even if it'll be hard to pay the bills this month, or if we have to take out a business loan to pay those bills, you will still be behind me, and the real Subeta. I hope that you don't feel like I treat you like paper bills, that are only here to pad my bank account - because you aren't (or I'd be driving the corvette I want :(!). You are all very, very important and special to me.
Now, right now there are a lot of problems with this situation. While the dictators over at Subeta.org have the domain, that is all they have. We have the staff members, the artists, the writers, the user admins, and the users. We have the community.
They are trying to hold out and create a hostage situation (ie: extortion. Highly illegal :P) in hopes that I'll crumble to all of their (insane) demands.
I hope that you understand that all of this was for the best of Subeta, and for us to more forward.
