I'm still going to be hanging out in #ns&h on slashnet, which is a channel for this forum. However, I've asked to be removed as moderator here, and to have my account permabanned. My reasons are my own, but I felt that Zoklet's internal politics were too much of a hostile environment for me to continue my tenure. I'll miss the forum, but it's time for me to go. Good luck and best wishes to each and every one of you guys.
Goodbye.
k, tnx, bye
I'll have the band play you out.
:rock_Band:
Hope it hasn't hurt you too bad and best of wishes in all your future endeavours.
I know this will hurt me much more then anyone else. oddballz194 has been one of my trusted friends on Totse/zoklet. I mean this guy is a genius, he is honest and very friendly. From day one oddballz194 has been fair in his judgment when it comes to modding and he is truly the most talented in the field on networks and computers.
It has been a great honor knowing oddballz194 as a friend and as a human being. May Allah bless him in his future endeavors.

Oh no! Everyone's leaving. :(
Well, goodbye for now, oddballz. You've contributed a lot to this forum.

Holy shit. I'm really going to miss you, Oddballz194. You've given a hell of a lot of yourself to the community, and for that we all owe you a huge thank-you. I really wish you would stay, but after reading your post, I can tell that you will not be putting up with the internal politics. It seems a few persons have made quite the waves in a very short period of time, all for the worse. I'll see you on SlashNet, man. You can't get away from me so easily. ;)

I think I've expressed myself to you in IRC oddballz. Just make sure you leave the door ajar, there may be others following.

Real shame to see you go man, great mod on Totse, and you'll be sorely missed.
Thanks again for being helpful with the problem I had as Wargsm, strange how things work out...
Laters man, see you in the IRC.
wargsm, good to see you here.

Take care oddballz. You were the first person that I ever talked to on the other forum, always took the time to answer any questions that I had.

Oddballz194 is still around, and he can be contacted easily enough. This community sure could use him right about now. Zok should humbly ask him (on our behalf) to return, promising a much more friendly environment, and I'll bet he would return based on that.

Or Zok could contact him on the eSparq account and ask him if he wants to come back.

Hello. Yeah, I'm still around, and I've offered to pitch in if Zok has need of another mod somewhere.
As it is, my observations from outside the inner circle suggest it's improved quite a lot internally, and I do know that a couple mods (and I think Zok also) want me to return. At this point, if it happens it happens, and if not I'm OK with it.
I really hadn't intended to create this account when I posted this thread, but NS&H is kinda hard to step away from. I wound up being linked to threads by O_RLY/Expl0itz and others in the IRC and kept wanting to reply, so I registered again.
If I do step back as a moderator I'll probably have my old account unbanned and use it. No promises though.

Holy shit! It's really you!
Damn.. I would love to see you back on the staff. I know things were getting pretty chaotic and unhealthy back then, but as you say, things have mellowed out quite a bit. To see you back in the saddle again would really make my year... hopefully I'll get to see Metaphysicist back some day soon as well. :(

Wouldn't it be fantastic to see Metaphysicist back in the moderation-saddle, too!? I would personally give up $500 cash, walk 100 miles, and stop smoking dope for an entire day to see that happen.. right here and fucking now. Honest to God's truth. But, alas, I know for a fact that he is too hurt and feeling betrayed to do any such thing. In any event, I'm fully confident that if zok asked him back, he would at least consider it, and then we might have a small chance. Imagine Meta back as BLTC's surrogate son NFHC!! Would be awesome, and extremely beneficial for this community as a whole, without a doubt.

I miss Meta so much. He was an Amazing BLTC mod and should be mod of NFHC!
Plus the jokes about him in other forums made me lol constantly.

Why did meta leave?Metaphysicist was WAY ahead of us all in identifying what would eventually happen if this community was left subject to no-content posting and trolling kidiots long enough. He identified the trend early, and he attempted to put a halt to it early.
At the time, kinkou was the leader of the HB-Brigade, a rag-tag team of lunatics and shit-dropping 12 year olds. She also carried a fair bit of smite in her makeup-kit. Just like in Godzilla vs Megagurious, Metaphysicist took on and battled the feared alien Commander from space, meeting kinkou head on in the city of Slashnet, right in the heart of downtown IRC. Kinkou released a searing, white-hot lazer beam from her fire-red eyes, striking Metaphysicist several mortal blows, which burned two neat round holes right through his Superman outfit, singing his white, elastic-band underwear in the process. After super-heating his spine into a glowing red bridge of utter fury, trumpeting a tremendous screech which shattered skyscraper windows for 10 blocks in every direction, Metaphysicist returned with a volley of mouth-delivered fireballs, fired in rapid succession, punting kinkou (Megagourious) out of IRC several times, unwittingly bringing the wrath of the Elder-Gods upon him.
A large hand then descended from the heavens, scooped up our old friend, and took him away to a better place. The damage having been fully done... he now remains in our memories as an exemplary visionary and a scholar. If hindsight was foresight, we'd still have Godzolla right here among us this very day. Food for thought. Food for thought, indeed.

Well, I decided to return to the staff. I couldn't be added to NS&H's mod list because the two mods we already have are plenty good at keeping the forum moving and clean, so I went to the radio forum instead. (I haven't been active in Zoklet's radio forum 'till now, but I used to be about as active as the mods of RFA back on Totse and I plan on trying to get some activity happening there.)

Whoo-hoo! :thumbsup:
I'm sure there'll be lots of shuffling around later, and you have expertise in more than just a couple of subjects, so I'm sure it won't be long before we see a more pronounced Oddballz194 Presence across the various forums. :D
I'm so happy I could spit jelly-beans.
p.s. : sorry for getting angry with you over at T.D.D. Meta and I just had some hashing out to do.
