I would love to see Lebon duke it out, no-holds-barred. Perhaps instead of recognizing talent or pandering to requests to be mod, potential moderators could fight it out in a duel to the death for the position?

Man that's pay-per-view material right there.

I guess Lebon has no choice but to be generous now. whistling.gif

I would expect them to act like adults and settle this without requiring my assistance.

What is there to settle? He got replaced because of a change in ownership. It's nothing new and happens all the time in the corporate world.

The corporate world is comprised of adults, not borderline tweens that have revenge issues.

From seeing massive changes at my company a couple of times, I don't think it matters whether they're adults or tweens. I don't feel bad for Lebon as he was a mod for a good long time, but I can see where he might be little sour.

Someone sour over online forum leadership change? Oh my...what an unfair world.

For some people, being a mod here was the crowning acheivement of their life to date. When that's taken away for no other reason than a change in ownership...yes, it's unfair and yes I can see why he's so sour about it. When my company changed ownership they replaced almost the entire senior staff just because they wanted their people in place.
I would expect massive changes would've been made no matter who bought IDW. shrug.gif

If I'm not mistaken, Perry handed it over to Tessou, rather than sold it.

^ Not true. Money changed hands in order to make this happen. The specific amount was what caused a prolonged snarl in negotiations. I would have been admin in January, but Perry pressed me for a bit more cash before he was willing to budge.

IDW is in good hands, and Perry is not gone, despite what some people are saying. The guy is in China right now, hence he is not posting or logging in. When he comes back, he will be the same intermittent poster/actioner that we all know. Whether or not he will be a bonafide co-admin or just an admin-CP-privileged member is still up in the air, as I will want to retain him for technical work.

Perry will be back from his vacation in a week or so. Don't worry about him. I think he's posted once or twice in the past few weeks. If I recall correctly, it was to wish our very own sideways happy birthday. I'm sure he'll announce when he's back stateside.

I threw admin CP access on his account. He's already fixed a minor error I encountered while editing the moderator group. smile.gif
