Ladies and gentlemen we have a rogue mod
all posts by three IPs have been deleted, all credentials by this mod have been revoked, however you all deserve to know everything so here it is
when the first donations came in I received roughly $120 to pay for the website, I put it in a savings account and paid for the site.
when the patreon got shoahed I forgot which account I had put it in and mistakenly believed that i had spent the money on the site, I had a bit of a panic before I checked my other accounts and found some $80 waiting patiently for me. This money was sent back to paypal to avoid further issues
I lied when I said the site had been paid up, we had the money but I felt that if we paid it up right away then we risk having the site pulled out from under us, to reassure you all I simply said it was paid anyway. For that I'm sorry
recently I was dumped, and left to my own thoughts I began talking about it in staff discord, apparently this, and other lax behaviors about how discussions were held resulted in one staff member, who we know as invisi or runit, decided to confront me. after a long talk about how the website is owned by me and I have no intention of turning it into a strict no fun zone because I needed to take it seriously, though I did understand my depressed rantings were unwelcome, invisi quit and proceeded to delete all posts by certain IPs, I revoked their credentials at this time.
I payed for an LLC btw, so that I could do certain legal things with the website that otherwise might be legally dubious, such as getting donations and moving the server out of country, things I wasn't sure about legally and didn't want to take chances, I have plans for the future that involve us making media together for redpilling, from t-shirts to video-games.
The money for the website is currently in the hundreds, all donated by you and all in the paypal exclusively for the furtherance of the website, pic related.
the reason behind my doing things you might find distasteful is simple; this website is mine, but mlpol isn't. This whole thing was never about me, though I wanted a fun place to hang out I didn't want to be it's boss. as such I hired many people with conflicting interests and ideals from all backgrounds I did this so that everyone would be represented, the freetards wouldn't drive away the natsocs, the natsocs wouldn't ban the freetards, etc. I wanted everyone to enjoy ponies and politics the way they saw fit, and I still do. I'm not your boss, I reserve my executive privilege to do stuff so that when my staff demands I do stuff one way that might drive half of you away, I can say no to them.
other than that however I am almost entirely aloof, I don't want my staff afraid to challenge me. I spend most of my time coming into chat, asking what's going on, listening to the ideas and changes they propose, and then I make decisions, or often leave it up to the team. We talk in the staff about random stuff sometimes, interpersonal things, perhaps we don't take things very seriously. But then again 4chan staff took everything seriously, and look where that got us.
So I lay myself open and bare for you right here and now, the website is secured once again, though some threads were lost. I want you all to know that I care about this community and want nothing more than to know I can come back every day and see you all.
