...Again, Ogor might know more. Or perhaps Kenri, my memory is awful. ...I know I was here for that whole situation, I just can't remember any of it anymore.

However, what I'm referring to is almost certainly what Ogor means by "like seven years ago."
...I... actually don't recall anything involving ns in the last two years. ...I'm not even sure I've seen ns around in the last two years.

For the record, I have always owned TFN, and have always been responsible for the hosting/domain bills. ns was the primary developer until he wasn't.

Then Tiger got hosting for one reason or another at some point, during which period he got my Adsense account murdered after I foolishly decided to let him use it for his website - costing me the $70 I had on Adsense already and several years of potential revenue, but hey, whatever - and then we hosted TFN on his webspace, reopening on April Fool's Day for the lolz. Then while I was in Romania Tiger lost his shit and I bought my own hosting and relocated the site.
Then I eventually got the original domain back.
Well, I hope who I talked to was ns.
It was probably a lamp.
Also this is going to sound stupid, but is there an actual DSB board on this site? I keep hearing about the DSBers and either they're the users that I already see post or it's a board I can't find.
It's a board you need DSB membership to access. Basically, Scorp asked me to make a private place for the DSB people from GameFAQs to post, so I did. It's one of two such boards.

It comes up occasionally because I think they contribute like 90% of TFN's total activity. (As you can tell by my vague guessing I'm not in it so I don't know for sure what the activity level is over there. If I really cared to figure it out, I could keep track of new posts/topics over a couple of days and figure out how many are coming from there, but there's no real point to doing that)

To clarify further, from what I recall, the breaking point was the "merge" between TFN and Gensou, which came after a long string of site relocations and forced re-registrations and other assorted bullshit, and was a "merge" much in the same way the United States "merged" with Hawaii in 1959.
Dr. Definition sez: It's not a merge when you just tell the entirety of one site to go make accounts on another one! That's more like spam, except at gunpoint.
I honestly don't think anyone here has a problem with ns aside from that one situation.

...I want to say after that, ns also left... and if Ogor wasn't around then, that probably left TFN without any actual "leadership." But maybe Ogor was here then and I don't know what I'm talking about!

You know, ns basically killed TFN by doing that. Everything was fine until then. We had users. I had a functioning Adsense account, from which I actually received actual money. Then he fucked it up, the site died, and I lost ALL OF MY INCOME GOD DAMMIT.
I probably should have been more involved in the leadership considering I had the sole financial stake, but I had no expertise in development so I simply trusted ns. This was a bad decision. 14 year-olds with no business sense should not try to run expensive websites.
It was definitely someone who knew what had happened before I even registered on the Flux, a YSBer at some point, and a likely a former mod.
"Lamp" seems more plausible.
Also I would like DSB access if it wouldn't be too much trouble, the lack of activity on this site is depressing at times. And you should totally make me a mod.
I'm not making you a mod unless at some point I decide to make everyone a mod.
Ask Scorp for DSB access. He's the one who administrates that; I'm basically just the host.
But maybe Ogor was here then and I don't know what I'm talking about!
Even if I was here, I obviously failed to rally against that stupid Gensou bullshit. But I don't think I was too actively involved in the site anyway.

I'm not sure that narrows it down too much. I think most of the former mods of that time are the current mods now (that is to say, everyone - definitely Ogor, Kenri, and myself, I believe.) There were a few people who were mods then but just simply aren't here now, but not too many I think.

It should be observed that Burgess once offered to help pay for hosting.

Like I said, likely a former mod. Could just be some asshat with too much time.

This is true, actually, but if I make you a mod, then there are 8 active mods and at that point I have no good justification for not just making everyone a mod.

And the last time we went through a "make everyone a [user level with advanced privileges]" thing half the boards got deleted until Scorp and I (mostly Scorp, IIRC, he reacted more quickly, but I believe the two of us were on when it was happening) stopped it. >_>

i don't think link dude is the answer though
if there was some way to make me, like, a double mod, that would probably solve it
