Don't know where to post this, move accordingly.



Hi,



I would like to let you know about Joshua. He has been very angry lately, and I resigned. He deleted my thread so I temporarily removed his position so our users could view my thread. I was planning to re-instate him. This was my thread:



Greetings fellow members,



I 'spose you could consider this as me resigning from my duties as owner and administrator of Lafoona. Joshua has made it very clear in our private boards that he does not want me here anymore, due to a little fight we got in yesterday. I don't care to explain in detail - I'll leave it in the past. I will just get bitched at if I explain anyway, as from his point of view it appears that I'm a horrible, immature and inconsiderate administrator. If that's true, so be it - I don't need a chance to improve. I tried, he denied it. Anyway - I could probably stay around and work on the forum but frankly, I'm tired of the bullshit that Joshua is doing. A brief summary: Yesterday he got very angry, sarcastic and basically what you'd see someone in anger management lessons doing - so typically I became enraged as well. I tried to keep it away from the community; but someone on the forum asked me about the staff applications and I mentioned that Joshua had been bitching. Apparently, that's the end of the world for him.



I have done so much for this forum, as some of you know I am the technical end administrator on this board and take care of all the styles, bugs, modifications and other technical stuff. Joshua doesn't know how to do any of this, but I've tried to teach him. I hope he retained some of it - because I will not be helping him anymore. Although I am resigning and this site is running on my personal vBulletin license - I'll allow Joshua to keep use of it, not because I'm trying to be nice but because I really care about this community and it saddens me this has to happen. He will no longer have access to my support for installing stuff, creating designs nor will he have access to the modification site on vBulletin.org.



In addition, I have to cancel the grand opening contest. If Joshua refuses to have me as his partner and won't let me take a part in this forum I don't see why I should supply my money, my time or my license to this forum. He never planned to pay a cent of the contest, the vBulletin license or anything. He pays a whole $20 a year for the domain & hosting. Not that I ever complained, I thought we were cool.



I will remain here for a couple days to say my final farewells and respond to some things on this thread and in the necessary staff boards.



I wish Joshua good luck, and enjoy your experience with this guy. Thanks for all the good times, guys. Also - no one shall edit my thread.

Joshua will not stop deleting this thread, so he has been temporarily removed for 3 days until you guys can read it. Afterwards, he will be re-instated.



Cheers

Sam



Anyway, he deleted Lafoona. Don't hire him as your partner.
 
Sorry for your loss. It always sucks when co-admin's can't get along. I know Ive dealt with those sorts of problems in the past on an old forum I ran. They never did anything to harm the board though (luckily).
 
Yeah thanks, I tried to post my resignment thread and let him be on his way, but he promptly deleted the thread and when I re-posted he deleted the forum.



Won't be long before he sees this and starts his crap again. Get your moderators ready, he might start flaming - I'll try not to. At least now I know not to work in partners.
 
Actually it seems pretty common on forums that reasons for quitting are not publicly announced. They are posted in private boards to inform the staff and if members want to know, they will PM you or ask you on MSN or somewhere else...
 
I know but I had a few things to announce to the community. I wanted to tell them, he still didn't have to delete the board.

Oh wow, that sounds so immature of him.

I was actually really starting to enjoy Lafoona, and then it suddenly ends. Damn.

No he didn't but if you quit that makes the board his property and he could do whatever he wants?

Well maybe not since you were the owner of the vB license. Seems like a confusing situation to me..

Hi Sam, sorry for what's happened.



Forgive me for picking mate, but you could have just said that the forum had been shutdown due to an internal matter or disagreement and left it at that.



In my opinion, nothing is to be gained by publicly posting about it on another forum such as Off Topix.
 
I want my members to be aware of why it was shut down, this thread can be deleted in a few days once everyone has read it.



@Nebulous, yes it is a complicated situation.
