... became a "guest"?
Did he leave entirely?
Does he have a new sock puppet?
Can Tremulous go on without him?
Was it something I said?
On a related note, Caveman is back!
Wow, that Obama guy really did bring about Change.
I think I will dance some more.

I'm sorta conflicted...
On one hand, I hated his guts because he was a total bastard. On the other hand, I loved him because he was so good at keeping idiots under control.

One day, all of the parts of the body got together to decide who should be the Boss.
The Brain said, "I should be the Boss, because I am the smartest."
The Eyes said, "We should be Boss, because we tell the body where it is going, and where it has been."
The Heart said, "I pump the life-giving blood throughout the body; I should be Boss."
The Stomach said, "I digest the food for the body, and only when I am happy can the body be content. Therefore I should be the Boss."
The Legs said, " We carry the body around, and take it where it needs to go; we will rule together as Co-Bosses."
Then the Asshole spoke up and said, "I wanna be the Boss."
And they all laughed, and made fun of the Asshole. The very idea was ludicrous! They gave up their debate, and went off to have beers together, slapping each other on the back, still giggling and snickering at the silly Asshole.
This made the Asshole very upset, so he clenched up tight, shutting off the outside world completely.
The Brain couldn't think straight, and the Eyes became blurry and bloodshot. The Heart had palpitations and the Stomach just rumbled and grumbled, while the Legs went all wobbly and kept losing direction. The Asshole kept up this selfish behavior for several days, until the parts of the body could no longer laugh at him, but had to give in to his demands. So they made him the Boss.
Which just goes to show: Only an Asshole is truly qualified to be the Boss.

probably that's why he said "you are full of shit" so many times.
-
I kinda miss him... he was our forum's devilish bastard mod who really treated everyone equally... in his own way: telling everyone to fuck him/herself no matter where you came from or how generally accepted you were. I kinda liked his trolling and arguing. It was funny even when pointed against you. 8)
-
Can't you see he's the man, let me hear you applaud
he is more than a man he's a shiny golden mod.
If you think it's time to fucking spam, and fucking troll, out of control,
well then you know you got to rock the block,
and fucking suck my fucking cock,
'cause when you rule, you fucking school all of the fools, out of their jewels,
'cause if you think it's time,
if you think it's time,
if you think it's time to fucking spam.
He is going to lock your fucking thread,
and you know his name is Lava Croft,
banning and fucking locking,
and fucking banning,
and fucking locking,
and fucking [vocal solo]...
-
tis a sad time :(
-
Who?
-
Lava! Come back! I've gone all emo now :'(
-
Damn right, another song, now stfu and sing along....
Lava Croft has left us now, who are we would've tell where and how?
Lava held this forum up with pride, he had a mature and intelligent mind,
But now hes gone, wtf? Now this day is gonna suck...
Yea, some members said he was an ass, said his moderator privileges wouldn't last,
But deep inside, he helped us all along, so thats why I'm making this song,
He was there to stop the noobs who spammed, but now hes gone, and we're all damned.
Maybe he left, to change his name. Or maybe he left, 'cause Trem was getting lame.
But he was our favorite admin, sorry Kelvarman, don't be saddened. :D
His trolling helped when we were sad, even though trollings' bad.
He had this this "Go fuck yourself" attitude, damn right, he didn't care if he was rude.
He contributed to the forum, like )MG( contribute to trem. But now our future is looking' dim.
Yea, some might say he was bad-ass. He would talk shit faster then a homeless kid.
He would make Obama cry in real life, he would even stab George Bush with a knife.
Some questioned him, but he would go up their ass like a Spartan.
He was our forums, funniest mod. He was kinda like, the trolling god.
He legacy, should be kept. We should make a song, check off thats the first step.
But the devs, what the hell? Did you decide to sell his soul to hell?
But today its time to be sad, later we could go mad.
So lets think about Lava Croft, who kicked as much as as Lara Croft.
So let us think about, the dead king, Lets continue to sing....
:(

You seriously have way to much free time.
About lava, meh, glad his modship is obviously gone, think it was a tad bit far for him to leave though. He can do as he pleases though(don't know if he got deleted/banned or if it was a self reason.) Eitherway I thinks its to much but I don't really give a damn either.
-
I can't remember if I voted for Lava or kevlarman back during the mod-vote days. I want to say it was the latter, though. So I guess my vote was for the right guy?
-
Were we voting on longevity?
I'm pretty sure I voted for Stof, although it might have been Overflow.
I miss the Flaming Dutchman already...
What, no Good-Bye?
He must be somewhere right now, telling someone how wrong they are.
:)
So, who's left, on active "official" mod duty?
kev, khalsa & roc?
I said duty.

me, paradox, and rocinante are around the most, khalsa tries to avoid any actual work (in other words he makes me do it if i have access), and the newest moderator: Taiyo.uk

nowai... I remember him sorta being in the competition a long time ago, but being a sort of Ron Paul, no real chance of making it.
Well good luck taiyo.

Oboy, I'd rather have Lava than Taiyo.

so now we have a mod who is shitting into his pants, instead of the old one who was shitting into others pants.

Good riddance.

Meh, I'd rather it have been Kevlar. One's a humorless dick while the other is a humorous dick.

Wow, everybody is making the nicest insults to a moderator I've ever heard.
-
Hi
Any further insults and slurs directed towards current or previous moderators will not be tolerated, and will be dealt with without any reservations.
Thanks,
Khalsa

Can you tell us what exactly happened to Lava, then? ???
And good luck, Taiyo. :police:

he deleted his account

If you can't take a jab or twenty, you shouldn't be a modmin.

If you cannot adhere to the forum rules then you should not be posting here at all.

The rules that say "moderate insults" are allowed?
Do you mean to say that modmins are considered above insult?
Is that what the vague "respect the modmins" rule is about?
-
Comon Steely Ann, if Khalsa says its best not to insult Lava's leave, then we shouldn't. We should be posting what Lava did for the forums and what he will be remembered for.
And I'm pretty sure a good handful of people has a few nice things to say about Lava Croft, right?
-

No, no and no.
Common sense dictates that a direct insult is seldom the best way to voice your opinion. Intended or not, your post insulting both Lava and Kevlarman comes across as a troll, since you could easily have posted your comments on the subject without the deliberate insults.

Uh oh.. Taiyo now feels like he must prove himself worthy of Tremulous modship..
And Ann is actually right in this case, Timbo's rules are there for a reason, and disallowing insults goes directly against that. Not that I want to insult Lava or any other moderators at this time, but I feel that I need to point out our "rights", because if the moderators don't like Timbo's rule, make an official amendment to the constitution, don't try to bend it behind other law's backs.

What, because MODS=GODS?
Every community's members can stand to have more humility, and admin teams are no exception.
If you can't take the occasional insult or criticism, you seriously need to LRN2INTERNET.
I'll insult Lava if I feel like it, and the same goes for Kevlar.
Lava was hardly the friendliest poster I know on this forum, though I'll say he made a decent modmin.
I can respect him and dislike him, you know.
Of course, if you wish to allow insults to normal posters but not modmins, that's fine.
The forum administration can run the show how they see fit. Just don't act like you can eat your cake and have it too.
Have the gonads to admit that's the way the rules really are, if that's how you intend to use them.
// Sorry if I'm drama-genning like nobody's business but seriously, you guys.

ok fine, you friggin' convince me. I meant no harm. Your right, everyone in the forums should be equal, thus the mods should accept as much bullshit as we give them just like how they give us bullshit.
I smell a conspiracy here...

Well technically, you can rage and bitch and moan and organize the rest of the forum community to do a bit of synchronized raging, bitching and moaning. Because then authority has 2 choices: Fix it, or be King's of their own empty little castle.
It's a lot of work though, so you can count me out of any revolution you punks decide to start.
-
Damn... I never did play that Quake 1 game with him, did I.
-
I think the exact reason why he left is here in this very topic: since the karma system got introduced he started to get more and more attacks from posters as it became chic to flame at Lava whenever he did his job. He had some disagreeable decisions about topics and we did our jobs as whiny little users and started debating it... and since you can give karma to admins and you had the right to question them and argue with them some guys thought they had the right to talk shit about them and insult them just for shits and giggles... It is true that Lava did troll and flame but who wouldn't do that after all the little newcomers start shitstorming you because they see that people actually can debate your decisions without getting b&hammered... If this is the reason I can understand him getting fed up and leaving...
Also when someone pointed out the blank servername problem (at the time only Lava's satGNU was blank, the rest had shitty characters in front) it was the day when those servers began to appear and choke up Lava's first-in-the-list server and it started to loose popularity... until the point when he changed the name to pink SATGNU! and everyone left it (including me since I never actually could find it in my list of ~300 servers)...
If the reason is him getting flamed at constantly while his server is getting totally empty I can really understand why he left the community.
Khalsa: the solution is not revoking our privilege to question your decisions but rather regulating the way we do it... If you meant this by no more insulting admins then alright but I hope you didn't mean that from now on we cannot even disagree openly with you guys... (I've seen that and hated it...)
-
Minor insults and disagreements of opinion are absolutely OK.
Full out disrespect of mods/admins however is not.
These people give up their time,money,effort to make this a better place. Maybe you don't agree with how/why/etc. but nonetheless they deserve some respect. I deleted several posts that went far beyond simple insults, and I will not tolerate those.
You guys should also realise that not so long ago I was just a community member like you, and I gave Timbo and the mods more shit than you guys apparently ever can - the only difference being is that I did it intelligently and with respect because at the end of the day, these are the people that make this community.
As far as Lava's reasons for leaving - quite literally the only person who knows why is him. He just went and deleted his account after some drama on IRC, maybe the irc logs of that day will elucidate something, but frankly it does not really matter at this point.
You guys now have a new moderator, and very soon there are going to be some more significant changes around here. I would compell you guys to stop being such dramatic babies, and move your eyes forward to a future where these forums are much more welcoming and open than ever before.

I agree with this entirely 100%. It seems these forums are often worse than ingame towards new players and any meaningful discussions.

I'll take that a step further, and say you can remove "mods/admins" from the above and replace it with "anyone". There is very little reason to be as disrespectful of others as many people here are to anyone who asks a question or disagrees with them, and it happens all the time. Quite frankly it's one of the main reasons I do any moderation at all - one whinybitch screaming at another whinybitch and they all get to go to their corners and take a time out.
It's certainly one thing to reply to someone who posts in a thread titled "How to do $foo" and asks "How do I do $foo?" with "Learn to read". It's another thing entirely to start questioning someone's parental upbringing and their genetic lineage, wondering aloud how they stopped masturbating long enough to string together that semi-coherent compilation of characters that made up that mentally challenged post, and otherwise comparing them to a fornicating monkey.
Some might call bans for that sort of thing draconian and heavy handed. I call it enforcing the rules. Be nice, or be elsewhere. Doesn't mean you can't say, "Hey Roc, I disagree with that moderation, I think it could've gone this way." But saying that will get you a lot further than any post which might contain the letters 'ur' and 'mom' anywhere near each other :P

Where were you when they made very nice speeches on the funeral of the deceased profile named 'Lava Croft'?

/me tries not to get banned for being a flametard
Banana, you seem to overestimating your popularity here. Your abruptly renewed presence will not be a replacement for Lava's criticism, trolling, and wit — which was so bad it rolled past infinite badness and into goodness.
-
*sigh*
Forum drama, from the void (No pun intended, maybe) of the darkness from which the rats scatter and eat the flesh of the grangers, there is only but one granger who decides to evolve rather then die, it is his time to leave and become something more. Though in the void his friends still strive to live and make the empty hole seem like home, he has to leave his base to makle a new one. Because someday lucifiers will come and take them out, out, out where? Anywhere actually, but there.
Strive.
Survive.
Kill.
All simple tools for life, but the hardest thing to do is to take one step.
Into the future.

I caught his sarcasm. :P
-
Eh?

Eh?
yes... But I used to be popular
-
Really? When?
By the way, that wasn't a troll, it was an honest question. If you were significantly popular here at some point, I must've missed it.
-
The reason why Lava was being attacked that much towards the end is because there is no way here to dispute adminship in an official manner. I mean, even on small Tremulous server forums there is usually a way to dispute any unfair, misbehaved, trolling behaviour. Here, mods are never to expire rulers of the empire.
And at times a huge amount of his posts were simply offensive, trollish and offtopic. Did any Administrator warn him? I don't think so.
-
To be fair, I saw survivor rip into him pretty badly when he did that thread about people's aliases.
-
Hmm, I remember that thread... Bad times...
-
Did any Administrator warn him? I don't think so.
False. Everything is not public.
