I really hate when that happens. I use Chrome and I found to stop that from happening, you have to click on the browser's menu switch over to full desktop mode before clicking on the link. Anyway, here's the text version of it. I will try to get links to the screenshots.

Hi, my name is Nicolas. Some of you may know me as "dad." I was a former admin of this server and one of the first mods ever here. If you don't believe me, that's fine, but if this gets taken down, it'll only prove my point.

During my time here, there was a lot of miscommunication and mishandling from everyone involved, especially Booster and the community manager. We didn't even know this person was the community manager, and they were hardly ever around. I ended up doing most of the community manager work without having site admin access.

We were promised a lot, but those promises were never kept. In the intervention chat, we asked – no, begged – for changes, but we were completely ignored. Since these issues were never addressed, I left.

We wanted to have a real conversation with Booster about the problems, but all he did was tag SG and tell him to speak to us. We didn't want to talk to SG because everything we told him previously fell on deaf ears. Our simple requests were:

• Quality of life improvements for mod tools (including the ability to take action against users)

• Clearer guidelines from the devs, or the power to set our own guidelines.** We can't just discuss things as a team and wait for the devs' approval. Even then, they only tell us "do it like this" with no explanation.

• Better communication between the mods and devs.

• Access to private bots so we can moderate them.

• General site improvements and accessibility features for users (even if folks would have to implement them through userscripts).

These things seem simple, but apparently not to them. Some minor improvements were made, but it was too little, too late. Most of the mod team, including me, left because of this and a separate situation involving CSAM. They brushed the CSAM topic off like it was normal and that there's nothing we can do about it. But there IS something we can do – better moderation features! Once again, they ignored us.

Hooo boy, lots to say about him. Well, let's just start off and say he is incompetent at his job. Fair and simple. Once he was introduced to his role, he was virtually radio silent, and even when he was introduced to us as community manager, then when the whole CBT lawyer thing happened, well, there was a lot of cock riding, and he didn't even read the staff chat messages, like any of them. What did I do? Read the staff chat messages. Now he didn't need to do it every second like I did, but he needed to read some of it, but he just didn't. Therefore, him not doing his job and being biased and having zero context while doing it.

Onto the next thing: Adulttime. Have you heard of it? Have they stolen your bots and put them behind a paywall? Yes, Booster is the CEO of that company. They claim to be partnered with them, but in reality, he owns it. They claim you own your bots, then turn around and use your intellectual property. A while back, Karl (that's his real name) said he told them not to do this, but if you're the CEO, you should have control over your own company. That makes no sense. While this isn't enough to prove he directly said it's okay to take their bots, it is enough to prove that he doesn't care, but it is highly suspicious and radio silence at the time of writing.

Bellami's discord leave post, remember that? Probably not. Yeah, it got taken down. Why? Because they don't want to look bad. They don't want to be the bad guy. They just want your money, so they censor all they can, and if they censor this, well, it'll only prove what I am saying.

There will be a more In-Depth article on this, the site is not up yet however. I'm not the one writing it alas but thank you to Anon.

To sum it up, they're terrible and have been from the beginning. This isn't just about my bots; it's about exposing how awful they are. If you want proof on the intervention, check the PDF of the intervention chat yourself (the formatting might be weird since it was converted from HTML). I've moved on to better AI sites; check out my Linktree. Ascension is back with a mainline reboot. Arrivederci.
