Sure, I "own" it in the sense that my name is tied to the domain and the hosting, donations come to an account I control, and I pay for everything out of that account.
However this forum has always been run by staff as a democracy, with each staff member voting on whether or not rule violations occur. The staff come from the community, they aren't hand picked by me. I get a vote the same as every other staff member. I don't surround myself with "yes" men. I've been outvoted countless times.
This whole "Tib owns the forum and he's basically some secret dictator and he calls all the shots" argument comes up every time someone disagrees with how we do things, and quite honestly I'm tired of it.
Well it's a good thing I never said that, then. I don't think you call all the shots -- but I know if you say something about how you want the forum run, the Staff will pay attention. Pretending that isn't the case does you no favors.
You clearly don't want to listen, so I'll leave off. You don't need badgering, and I don't need bullshit.
