Internet Drama!

Okay, this needs to be re-iterated because I actually do care about this community and drop in several times a day to check out the latest news and whatnots going around here.

So I tossed a backhanded comment into that Hellgate thread talking about Ron and the D selling out. You probably saw it because everyone's salivating over a beta spot in the Hellgate game. 666 comments to win, that's a lot for a still-blossoming site like this. I think maybe 2 threads have gone over a thousand.

Here's the point I'm going to make in a roundabout fashion: within MINUTES of me dropping that comment, I get an e-mail from Ron calling me on my shit. Now let me ask you, how many mods call you on your shit on other boards? I think the simple fact of him popping me in the balls over the internet is enough to know that the dude actually cares about the site, cares about the folks who visit it, and cares about what is said upon the website.

My comment was in jest, but because there is no /sarcasm button on my keyboard, it was taken literally. I spoke to Ron and explained it, and I trust we maintain at best a relationship where he gets three free hits. Regardless, the point of this nonsense is to bow to Ron, and to point out to the rest of the readership of the site is that these guys are serious about their work, they really care about the D, and they have no intention of selling out no matter what the price.

The fact that they won't sell out impresses me more than anything, because I would sell out for forty bucks and a corndog. So hats off to the Dtoid crew, and let's drop this nonsense. Please? I simply despise internet drama.
