So the question of the day....What the hell has been happening to CC over the last couple of days? Since it's inception, CC has had three Admins: Rebel, Thor and Wretched Excess (WE). As with any board, there have been disagreements and disappoints which contributed to the situation we found ourselves in this week. As with any dispute, there is more than one side to the story and we feel that it's best to address them head-on and move forward for the sake of the board.

Most of you are probably aware of Rebel relinquishing Admin rights a few days back.  This was in response to Wretched Excess's unilateral decision to demote Undies from a global mod to a topic mod.  Well, this was the straw that kind of broke the camel's back to coin a phrase.

Thor's personal life has been drawing him away from here for a while, and due to a comment he made, Wretched Excess decided to remove his Admin rights as well without discussing it with Thor.  The Moderators thought that this was a mutual decision made between the two so questions weren't really asked until it became apparent we needed to ask them. Point of clarification at a moderator's request: once the answers did start coming in it was apparant that the situation was not what myself and Chris and the rest of the Mod staff were thinking it was measures were taken to revert to status quo.

Wretched Excess (WE) gave Chris and and myself Admin rights when Rebel resigned as Admin and Thor was removed. So we took it in stride and started to follow Sam's lead as the remaining original Admin. We were not told beforehand nor consulted. We worked with the information we had and asked questions that went unanswered. As such, we both decided to step up to the plate and to try and restore peace and do what's legal and fair for the board, it's ownership and daily management.

Everyone saw what happened in the Fight Club, and there is no point in rehashing that. Clearly poor judgment was excerised and it's time to fix it.

What is important is what this means for CC.  WE has decided to step down as an Administrator.  He will remain here as a Member.  Thor has had his Admin rights restored. Rebel will as well if he wants it. The Moderators will keep going about their business as normal.  There may be some possible shuffling around in "ranks" but nothing that will have major impact to the board. 

Now for you, the members, we ask that you just keep going as normal.  Conservative Cave is not going anywhere anytime soon.  Everyone here wants nothing but the best for this forum, even if some mistakes where made in trying to achieve that.

If you have any other questions, don't be afraid to ask.  We'll answer them the best we can.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

So are we right to assume that Rebel and Thor were right{or at least justified}in their assessment of this situation? Kind of sounds like they were! Not trying to stir shit just curious!

It would appear so. At least from my POV based on what I personally have been able to process.

Everybody here tried to keep things as calm as possible till the details could get hammered out and it was complicated by people having real life jobs and the process being filtered through Emails, PM's and Postings here that were going on while they were trying to get through their real life days.

There are still issues to be worked out but they are going to be worked out in private and (with hope) amicably by the people involved and they probably won't impact on the day to day too much.

Kev stepped out as an Admin on his own due to management issues. Then Thor got involuntarily De-Admined and all hell broke loose.

As of right now Thor has full admin rights restored and Kev has not told us what his intentions are.

Right now the board is being Admin'd by Thor, Dixie and Chris.  Thor is ass deep in aligators working his butt off in RL and it will take a little while for the dust to settle.
