I started this community, and the only reason is has turned apart is because Davy has decided to. Stared with the help of Davy of course.
He did it without saying a single word to me and that contributed to all this. Had that had not happen
the community would be as always. I has signaled that I wan willing to come back to work just 2 weeks, ago and all this caught me by superpose when he decided to part ways.
Here is my full story,
and I want to remind everyone that many things said here is just bashing. I a the same treasurer everyone has always respected and loved, with the exception of the new people who don't know me very well.
If our legal terms here at this site are at any point valid, everything here users, data, content belongs to piratesforums.co. Davy had privilege access to this data, and he transferred over to this domain, that in validity of terms is illegal.
I am not coming here to argue, or bash anyone, just the simply truth. If I know there could be many arguments against the above but the truth remain, not to me personally, but to piratesforums.co.
I restored our community because I wasn't about to let die. That is really what's happening here. Davy moved out and it stopps been what it has been all along, and he can claim full ownership once is out, that is the real issue here.
That said here is the story of all this time, and I am not making anything up. Sure I am skipping alot of stuff but just don't want to write a book here.
also to me, these people taking sides are nothing but bias.
Well this site was started by myself almost a year ago, and Davy Darkrage was one of our officers that was doing a very good job at the moment in our guild, at the same time he happened to be knowledgeable about technical stuff, so I had a vision of creating a community where all pirates could benefit without being influenced by bias, or leaning toward certain group, like many I felt personally were. At that time we had a guild site called SpaniaGuild.org which I ran myself for over a year, the site was very successful but I was ready to make the next step which wasn't focused only in our guild anymore, but in the whole community. I layout the Idea to Davy, Davy at the moment was expecting that we would create a forum just for our guild. I said, this is my vision I would like a forum where everyone can act freely as long they were respectful without the extra bureaucracy many sites had to date. Davy didn't sound very convinced, but I insisted with the idea, and drew a map of the forums categories, similar to what we see today among our categories. Davy had a cloud on web hosting, but by that time I had already thought of the name and even I had already bought it. Even without solid word from davy, but once we were set, Davy said "I will be working on this the next few days", but when he said that I had already gotten started creating all the categories and reaching out to pirates. In a week or so we already had 75 members , then at that moment davy started working on the layout design which is similar to what we have today. Our community continued to grow and turned out just I like had once imagined. That is why I felt strongly about having a say on the direction the community was going, because from time to time things get sidetracked.
So far davy had been not only a great person to have around but also very helpful and he started focusing on doing things, such the the pirates profiles, and the albums that were known around here. By the end of the year, things had changed, davy was not the same. We would hardly communicate, and I knew this was happening, I tried to be pro active and try to see if he could be the same again, but instead there were small arguments here and there, but the communication was not improving.
To me personalty I kept myself fresh with the original ideas, but davy perhaps worked too much or was too stressed. One day We had an argument because he had implement new rules that would affect everyone, and that day I was a little off I guess, and I talked to davy with a little rhetoric about the new rules, and he resigned pirates forums, perhaps he was a little too stress. My intention was to cause that kind of action, so I apologized, and convinced him to stay.
Within a week or so, he had said he would think about it, and and I was then thankful that he had agreed to stay, but in exchange due to the whole situations there were discussions that we would change things, and that there would be more communication, and he introduced a massive page of new regulations and rules on the forums, we got carried away because at that moment all I was thinking is, he is stays that's fine, we can deal with it. But within these rules were things that explicitly would change everything for me on the forums, for example until that day I was in charge of the promotions, and other things that that it was excursively my duty, these rules would change everything about what I did, so I felt systematically pushed out by the new rules, so I was a very concerned about this, and I talked to davy and there was no reasoning. The communication got worse and there was no reasoning to my requests or even considerations. He had talked to me a little rudely that time and I felt there was no communication , nor respect any longer, and yet I had been pushed out with the new rules, there was no alternative for me but to resign. So I resigned just like davy had done before. Then a couple weeks ago from now, I sent davy a proposal, that would make some changes or rules, just like the type of rules he had introduced when he had resigned, but two weeks later, (Yesterday) I find out that davy has moved out from our site, taking with him all our users, posts, and content, everything we worked so hard for, just two week after I had indicated that there I had some sort of plan to come back. To me this was mind blowing, and I was not gonna let our community here die out, because moving out of here means, that the ownership of the site was all his, but it was not very clear to me why he would do that without telling a word about it. It was a big surprise. So I stood up and and got a hang on our community here. This is like a house, but once you take the people and the future it would be a abandoned house, this isn't why I worked so hard. So I stand today, and ask for support from all members to keep our community going, because one way our another this community will live. At this point I am not sure what is in Davy's mind so If i didn't mention something he feels or the like, I just don't know about it.
I hope this clears up all the miss understanding why our members are gone and the like.
Feel free to ask questions
) as i for one understand the undertaking you have put on yourself to make this site work. and i know i am not the greatest pirate here nor the most savvy one either but i can undersatnd when two parties need to take a break regroup and need to talk. that is my opinion about this. you two guys created an amazing place for pirates to come to the table and talk for real not just on as a pirate in a video game and for that i applaud the two of you and i am keeping my fingers crossed that someday and agreement can be made..( please don't un player friend me also cuz i would really be sad it has always been fun playing with ya Davy
