Oooooo. That is a long story! It involves conflict, drama, more conflict, more drama! And ham cookies!
Basically, I was a site helper (you notice my blue name is gone) but because no one was going into the sitehelpers forum, Delphy decided to shut it down. There was a role call for site helpers in the sitehelpers forum, and only a few people responded. The site helpers forum and the sitehelpers chat had been dead for about two months and most people had eventually stopped checking. (because really, no questions were being answered and nothing was happened there) Everyone who did answer the role call got to keep their title (even though the site helpers had ended) and everyone who didn't got stripped of their title.
I was a little irritated by this, obviously. I ended up getting into an argument with Delphy that lasted for about an hour. (maybe more, maybe less, I'm horrible with checking the clock!). He said it was part of the site helpers' responsibilities to check into the thread every couple of days, and I said there was no point when it had obviously been dead for months and no questions were being answered. I was pretty offended by the thought that everyone who had put plenty of work into helping his site (and still were) were no longer getting credited because we didn't answer roll call on a dead thread.
Eventually, Delphy said that those site helpers wouldn't get the 'site helpers' title anymore but they would get a one time title change. So I chose Zombie Socks! He also ended up pm-ing all the former site helpers and telling them what was going on. (One of the reason I was annoyed with him is he stripped the titles without bothering to tell anyone what was going on). The argument left a bad taste in my mouth, because I still have a lot of respect for Delphy and his site, but it all ended on good terms. I loved being a site helper, so I'm still going to be stalking the
Creator Feedback Forum just as much as I did when I was a site helper, but now I don't have to alert anyone when I want a week off! (Not that I ever did, even when I was in the hospital :P)
And that was the drama and conflict! (Okay, I lied. No ham cookies were involved.
)
Why, yes, WWW
loves telling people things they didn't want to know! She lives for it, actually. One of these days I will learn to shut my mouth or abridge myself! Neither one is working too well right now.
