In that spirit, I was asked to either stop writing the formerly trademarked Warpath Power Poll, or change its content to something a little less abrasive.

My belief is that the tone of the forum I joined fiive years ago, and moderated for three years, had room for a little lighthearted fun. It turns out the guy who signs the checks disagrees, so I'm gone. Fortunately, TAFKAS and the Sheriff agree, and I couldn't ask for a more energetic team to be on.

kind of like what happens in the political world.. the bomb throwers like samuel adams are usefull at first but it becomes difficult to accomodate some folk who live in the purity of the edge once the humdrum of daily life settles in.. neither good nor bad, you need both types but friction often occurs..

So, thats what happened to the Power Poll...

Good Luck guys!

I have to agree with that guy. I dont see how we wont be reading the same news twice. Sorry, but I certainly have NO interest in reading some essay from Joe Shmoe. The Guest thing sounds pretty good though.

Gmanc711 · 03-31-2006, 08:03 AM

Everybody on the count of 3 ... 1 ....2 ...3 April Fools????

I Hope...this could be the end of civilization as we once knew it....

If this is true, this is really ashame. While the new site sounds like it would kick all kinds of ass, the warpath has been like home to me for years. I've come here with problems with school, jobs, homework, girls, and had everyoen there. I've actually made friends on this site (details will end there LOL

)....this is pretty crazy...

Well.............that's exciting, and I'm sure difficult to get to this point of demarcation. Who will be remaining with the current Warpath framework?

LA RESISTANCE!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not choosing sides, because people on both sides have been good to me and provided me great opprotunities.....I still dont know if I belive this.

Hog1 · 03-31-2006, 08:14 AM

While, I am sure Matty appreciates the allegiance, I was trying to determine who will remain on staff at the Warpath after the split?

12thMan · 03-31-2006, 08:18 AM

Wow, I'm shocked....I looked at my calender to see if it was indeed April 1st!!

I guess like anything else in life, it's the natue of the beast. There's a story in the bible where Abraham and Lot's herds outgrew the place they were presently occupying and they too had a contentuos split.

In any event I wish everyone the best of luck. But my heart is here at Warpath.net....but by the same token, I'm certain I'll visit the other site as well.

Misterbillysells · 03-31-2006, 08:22 AM

the best part about the warpath is that it brought both of those aspects together into one site....the straight news and then your fellow fans response....both parts could coexist and expand on one site...I just dont think a split is neessary....but im not a moderator....so best of luck to you guys

Schneed10 · 03-31-2006, 08:24 AM

You guys are silly. April Fools!

The next step is going to be Matty coming in and "confirming" that they're leaving and branching off. Then we'll all get scared for a second that hey, maybe this really is happening. And then TAFKAS will yell April Fools!

PS If the split is real, who gets Super Happy Fun Thread? Because I'm going wherever it goes!

The truth is guys, I was hoping to not have to deal with any of this in public, in fact this 'announcement' is just one example of how the mod staff aren't seeing things eye to eye.

Some mods think they can do a better job at running things, and that's fine. We have agreed to disagree and move on, but I was hoping to do this without any dramatics like posting an 'announcement' and possibly risk dividing the ranks. But it looks like some people have opted to draw a line in the sand, so be it.

Obviously I'm going to be in need for a new mod staff very soon. I'll be in contact with some of you that I've identified as being potential candidates.

Once again, sorry to be doing this in public guys, but as you can see it wasn't my choice.

PSUSkinsFan21 · 03-31-2006, 08:32 AM

If this was posted tomorrow, I'd have no doubt it was a joke. If I had to wager money right now, I'd still put it on April Fools.

That said, if you guys really are serious, it would totally suck. Nevertheless, I'd try my best to visit both sites for their respective unique qualities.......so anything you guys can work out regarding compatability and keeping the same screen names would be greatly appreciated. I just wouldn't be able to deal with trying to figure out who was who on each site. I'm still having a tough enough time with the switch from "RamseyFan" to "Sheriff Gonna Getcha".

This better be a freaking joke though....
