What the... did just happened on TWC?

[-Praetor-]

Could someone explain this for me?

All what I`ve read on the 20 threads or so that I`ve browsed, is something like a quasi coup from Ogre and someone called H&G, something about moderators and admins cleansing, a change of that gaming forum to a network forum and so on.

So... in sum, what the hell did just happen?

Will the EB forums in TWC be closed by the new admins?

Has any EB team member been affected by whatever that is happening over there?

Just a (very) confused user...

I don't get it. What's going on? People are protesting something and requesting their ranks removed, but getting banned instead?

That`s what i`m talking about, something that like the 8 or 9 administrators were kicked off and replaced by 3...

There`s a lot of spam going on there...

TWC has got something like no moderators...

It is quite simple.
The entire staff and 70% moderators at TWC got fired yesterday by the guys that own the server.
The staff got no explanations nor any warning.
Instead they installed a member that was banned for flaming and other things to be sole-admin.
The moderators that were left resigned, me inclueded because we either disagreed or refused to serve under that incompetent fool(my reason).
The other members started speaking up against this and in return they got banned.
Then more of us got furious by this behavior and started attacking the admin for his incompetence and in return we got banned as well.
Right now the situation is chaotic to say the least.
There are only 3 moderators(inclueding the admin himself) for that entire forum.
And one of the moderators got appointed yesterday.
That moderator is a known CA-basher and loves to flame other people and was gonna get banned as well but thanks to the IQ of the admin he is now a moderator instead.
To put it simple, TWC is dead.

But a new site is in the making by the old staff members and it will be like TWC before this whole mess started.

According to one of the former administrators/moderators that is what happened. Awful. On the upside however, the former staff are starting a new site and the Org is getting a huge influx of refugees.

At the order of Ogre's Net, the whole community of moderators and admins were removed. Instead, they installed Honor & Glory (total idiot, I nearly got banned because of him, and he was a big mod that time...) as admin, and he banned everyone who opposed his regime.

The CVRIA and the SIMPOSIVM were deleted(removed), and now TWC is a big bunch of crap.

So people, leave TWC and come here. Friendlier, and no stupid laws and dictatorship.
