Mumei 10/22/17 9:09:29 PM #204:	metaIslug posted... Didn't this "mods quitting" thing already happen? I feel like this is isn't the first time I've heard this. People honestly think NeoGaf is going under because of this? What's stopping this guy from just getting a new staff and continuing as usual? Everyone? Never. People have quit over the years here and there, but this is the entire staff save a couple of people. And he does not run his own site; he relies entirely on the moderation team to give him candidates to choose to join the team, and he wouldn't have the first clue which users he should pick to replace the moderators who have left. Even if he did manage to find his way to picking the right people, he has almost no involvement in the day-to-day process of creating moderation policy, so rather than joining an established team that works by consensus, they'd be working out their own system ad hoc until they get things straight. I don't know why the forum is currently down. It could be that the servers are legitimately getting hammered worse than usual and can't keep up, though I wouldn't be surprised if the truth is that there's absolutely no moderation on the site right now, and he doesn't want to see topic after topic of people condemning his behavior. XERD isn't right about much ("glorious leader"? that's a reach), but he's probably right that selling is his best option. --- "Luxe, calme et volupte." - Charles Baudelaire, The Invitation to the Voyage <cite>Mumei posted [p:888942446] in NeoGAF For...
