An Apology to Steamtoid and Looking to the Future
SPNKr | 10:59 AM on 05.25.2010 28 comments


Where do I start?

I have done many things I need to apologize for.

When I took on the job of administrating given to me by WastelandTraveller I promised I would post an FNF thread every week. I don't. I was told not to abuse my powers and for a while I didn't (Tarvu would argue against this and say I am a righteous ass with a god complex but I digress) but soon I started kicking people that looked at me funny. Though worst of all when I took on this position I promised I would be there and be active in the Steamtoid group... And I haven't. I have said repeatedly when people have joked about how little I am on that I am just busy... I have been dealing with some social issues and some personal ones as well, but really how hard is it to post a thread once a week that I literally copy and paste from week to week except for one or two paragraphs? How hard is it to mingle in a chat room while I do work?

Somewhere in these past few months I have forgotten what I am here for. We (as in the admins of the Steamtoid group) said we would make Steamtoid a driving force in the Destructoid community. During FNF we reached upwards of about thirty people in the chat. We even started our own Podcast (Thank you to anyone who actually listened to it) but that quickly failed as well, not even getting to an episode one. As Wasteland is often busy and Doomsday... Well to be honest I have no idea what Doomsday does... I am the least busy of the group but I find both of them being far more active than I am.

So I'm sorry. If I ever kicked you out of the chat for no good reason I am sorry. I apologize to the whole Steamtoid community as a whole but those who have known me and those who are thinking "Oh yeah that guy has admin... Right?" I apologize to all of you.

Now onward and upward. Let's try this again. First off I promise an FNF thread every week (unless there is absolutely no way I can post it in which case I will alert another Steamtoider).

Second, though I have not gathered anyone yet, I would like to make another stab at a podcast. Now if Doomsday or VGFreak are reading this they are probably thinking "Yeah... No." but I want to try it one more time. In my opinion we approached it from the wrong angle. We tried to practically copy Podtoid and go over News and such. Though some may say it worked it made for a rather boring recording time. During one of the podcasts I sat at my computer playing flash games and grunting. I would like to make it a community driven podcast. Talking about the news is great but you need more. During recording times people will be able to ask questions through the Steamtoid chat (also maybe make a twitter account) and possibly run interviews on some of the more stand out members of the community. (Anyone interested in being a part of this please PM me or talk to me on the Steamtoid Chat)

Finally there are a few people I would like to apologize and thank in particular. Tarvu I am still not exactly certain what I did to earn your hatred but I assume it was kicking you out of chat on multiple occasions. I am sorry. Wasteland I have no idea why you gave me admin. You just threw it at me and then ran away with your arms flailing. But thank you for your vote of confidence. Doomsday thank you for your moderating of the Steamtoid chat and for banning all the spammers. VG thank you for being the person who after the podcast died you kept wanting to get it running. To anyone I have unjustly kicked or banned from the chat room, I am sorry.

Now get in Steamtoid Chat and let's get this show on the road.

I don't hate you, I just thought you were retarded when you spammed the hell out of everybody asking to have a game bought for you then fucked around with admin powers and tried to cover your ass. This is the internet, I don't even know you.

Tarvu, your quotes are too.....graphic and out of context for this section of the site. Anyway, yeah, people need to frequent Steamtoid's chat.


Also, every time someone quotes the "dumb/dump" grammar error I regret not spell checking what I just wrote.

Oh god I love Steamtoid.

Hoping to catch up on more Steamtoid chats soon. I've had internet so spotty lately, a leopard with a period couldn't even compare to it. Just dodgy connections and dropped lines all the time. However, only source for fast internet, if it could be called that. But I digress.

Good to hear from you again man, and I'm looking forward to the possibility of more Steamtoiders, and the advancement of us currently a part of it.

for anyone who didn't know, SPnKR actually has a gland that secretes a drama pheromone rather than an adam's apple. Thats what he means by social issues.

@Stunning: I don't know what's worse the fact that you made an account merely to post that or the fact that you changed your name... Either way yeah this guy has basically got the outline of what happened.
