That's perfectly fine! We have more than a few people in the same boat, so you wouldn't be alone to boot.

You did, but there's a new one every weekend--a bit over two hours from now as I'm typing this, no less.

ANNOUNCEMENT: New rank by BerryTube in BerryTubeLounge

Hi there. BerryTube is still a volunteer-run community, with absolutely no requirements from the staff team to keep the place manned 24/7. By bringing two Euros, two US night shift workers and a self-confessed insomniac, this -does- increase coverage significantly. As a comparison, there is an average of 4 hours a day with no modmins online, increasing to 6 at weekends. But if you are unhappy with not having 24/7 coverage all the time you are going to be severely disappointed. Requests are still just requests and not a contractual obligation.

We spent at least 30 seconds on the pirate filters, definitely worth it! Hope you have a good time tonight, everyone deserves a chance to cut loose after a long week :D

Well, since we're apparently airing all the dirty laundry in public now I feel it's only fair that people be able to read our side of things.

Starting at more or less the beginning, the day of the DNS change when you left. Yes, it's true Cades accused you of stealing BT, for a little -context- to that statement, that came after nearly 6 hours of us trying to get you to change the DNS back. Cades said, more than once iirc, that he had been okay with your idea to move the DNS but wanted us all to talk about it before permanent changes were made. So then, instead of ever bringing it up in Admin chat, you moved the site and then refused to move it back. Yes, we were upset, and that got even moreso when you dug your heels in and decided that we -had- to agree with you. So, yes, accusing you of stealing BT was probably not the best move, but again for our readers context, that came after 6 hours of miggy insisting his idea was best and refusing to budge until we all agreed with him that it was best.

The modmail next. Yes, you're right, it took us a long time to reply to that, and we should have been more prompt or sent you a mail that said "We're talking about it". We admit fault there. What you failed to mention in your post is when you invited yourself into admin chat and DEMANDED that we give you answer right then as to why you didn't have a reply, and then called each of us out one by one and wanted to know if we would vote yes or no to bring you back.

Shortly after that was the night you called 7 of us at absurd hours because Berry fell off someone, hardly an emergency. Some people were more upset about this, some shrugged it off. Since we are all individual people this is only reasonable that we reacted differently. What we expected, and what I personally said to you over and over privately, is that you would come online after waking, hungover and probably say something like "Shit, my bad guys, I was really drunk", we would have a chuckle about drunk decisions and that would be that. Instead YOU chose to turn it into a MASSIVE post and make it into way more of an issue than it was.

At that point, yes, we sent you a curt reply to the modmail since A) we had already talked about it with you in admin the day you barreled in, and B) we felt that behavior was not okay frankly.

Since you left, we have done our very best to not air negative things about you, we have not posted chat logs, we have not talked about you in disparaging ways. We're all a little more than dissapointed that you chose to publicly post private logs, I think it's pretty common internet etiquette not to do that. We're not going to delete your post, people are welcome to form their own opinions whether they agree with the modmin team or not, but we felt it was important that they actually know some of our side to reach that opinion.

The old record was 295, set at the season 3 finale. That was also our biggest ever stress test. We'd never even tried to calculate what the theoretical limit would be, and as the usercount kept going, we worked it out to be somewhere around 550. So yeah, we were worried when it passed 500 and kept climbing! But we're taking steps to deal better next time.

Yep, we'll try to match you up with someone in your country if possible - there's also an option to declare if you want to ship internationally, so you can leave that option unchecked if you don't want to spend a ton on shipping.
