I got a response from Dave in my email today, and it is quite a good one. I believe what's left of the strike that isn't being made a mockery by the forum members could end quite soon, with mormon's approval, and maybe a bit more discussion. As you probably know, some people think mormon is already at camp, and hence it is just a way to get what he wants without actually doing anything, but that is far from the truth. They just don't get why we striked...


Thanks for letting me know, and I have more understand now on why this whole thing erupted. I want the members to have as much say on the site as the admins and somehow I get the feeling that Chuddy is taking over and feeling too much power in his position. This will be something I’ll be bringing up with him and Allen.

The site definitely needs some work and updates and if I were in a position to do more to it then I would, but Allen, the site owner, is never around and it’s really a shame because I fear the site is going downhill.

I want you to know that I think all the members are great, and I’d hate to see you guys leave because of an argument about signatures. I know I have been asking some people to reduce sig sizes but I don’t think this is needed and we can come to a compromise. Certainly I agree that the majority of members should get the say and not just one or two admins.

I hope that you’ll stick around the site – I myself am looking to launch a new ds/gaming community in the near future. Whether it will be a success I don’t know, but I want to try because I hate watching TouchDS go downhill – I’d like people like you to help me run this new site.

Sorry about this whole situation – I’m talking to Chuddy, Allen and most members so we can sort it out and make sure members have the most say in the community – after all without you guys, the site would be nothing. I’m grateful for everyone for helping make TouchDS a success – especially when I was running the place.

Thanks for letting me know and I hope you will stay on the boards.

Regards,

Dave
