Caltrops Marshall Plan by SB reposting moremedzplz 04/04/2003, 11:22pm PST
Ugh. Um, you just implied that the only way cock rocket could prove her premise was to grant you permission to check the IP logs. Now I'm sure this seems perfectly reasonable to you (and perhaps rather clever) and that's OK because you are crazy. This strikes me however, as the first step down a slippery slope.

Now for the part where I say something that could be interpreted as constructive:
As player/coach SB has been placed in a somewhat untenable position. It is not fair to expect anyone to abide by self imposed rules of conduct while at the same time donating money and effort to provide a platform from which they are repeatedly criticized by others.

Before this site was even up there was talk of setting up donations to pay for overhead costs. I think now would be a good time to re-examine that idea -- at least to pay for bandwidth. While Chet's actions on OMM were certainly childish, I don't think anyone can fault his reasoning in pulling the plug on OMM given his perception of the situation. Now I am not calling anyone Chet here (this time), but how hard is it to imagine a similar scenario occurring here?

In my opinion, the group effort approach/philosophy has provided surprisingly good results to this point. Contrary to this, SB's and V's generosity notwithstanding, the donation of bandwidth and hardware are being provided by only one faction and I think this can only be a bad thing in the long run.

Here then is my Marshall plan presented only in an effort to prompt further conversation:
Bandwidth should be paid for or at least subsidized by donations.
The server should be moved off site to an ISP.
Umm, there should be a third component
I'll fork over $50

That being said, I call bullshit on Vag's brother -- puhleeze nigger. Also, I am not Vag either and I give my full consent for my IP to be used to verify this. Go ahead and look, when I'm not foaming at the mouth at SB you will find me calling Vag a queer.

If this post doesn't get much spin here (buried in the thread) I am going to repost it as a new thread -- apologies in advance.
