I was gonna wait for Dan to make his official statement but screw it. This is my summery (for it to be remembered and to state some unknown things).
A dedicated member of SPOTM hacks Dan's account and starts the rejuvenation project around 8 AM PST. This gets the forum fired up and the fake Dan creates a new section for the project. Around 5 PM PST Fake Dan makes a post in the mod section claiming he is not the real Dan. He specifically didn't want to project to blow up when people found out who he was so he told us sooner rather than later. It was really up to us to decide what to do. I guess we decided to tell Dan and have him sort it out, either come back and take over or not. In my opinion, it didn't have much to do with Dan. Sure, it was his account, but he wasn't needed. We could have said "Someone hacked your account. It's been sorted out but change your passwords" and let the project go on. Instead Dan decided to shut down the project completely and address the subject later (which, over 24 hours later, he has not done). I made the thread "You guys are stupid" to address this idiotic decision. Now, it wasn't necessarily addressed at the admins, or even Rob. It was to whoever's idea it was to shut down the project. I think you guys know where it went from there, as it was pretty public.
Regarding my demotion: It was pretty much a long list of things I've done. If you want to know specifics feel free to message me about them. A couple were miscommunication but I'm not mad at anyone for losing my modship and am not asking for it back.
Hope this clears stuff up. Taking the initiative to be more transparent, even if I'm not part of the staff anymore

summary*
Uh... I don't really have anything to say in response to your actual post. I think the whole thing is silly. The project idea wasn't even good in the first place :\

Why would I say that the project idea wasn't good?
Because SPOTM is dead and you can't just instantly bring it back from the dead. These things take time. It's absolutely insane to think that one post--whether from Dan or not--is going to change things. If we're going to get back on our feet, we need start off small. That project is just too much too soon.

Hey guys, its Bombmaniac. Remember me? anyway, I'm the guy who hacked teh admin account, and I'm the one posted the rejuvenation project in dans name. im not gonna say how i hacked it because i dont want you to do it, but yeah. it was me  anyway, to teh why. ive been here for over a year. ive seen SPOTMs rise and fall. ive seen projects start and fail. ive participated in many of those projects. ive always been hopeful for SPOTMs future. always had a cautious optimism. i have tried many many MANY times to revive SPOTM, working countless hours to make that a reality. most of you can never and will never know just how hard i worked trying to turn things around. anyway, as you can probably understand, i got restless from time to time, and frustrated. thats when i trolled. but you should know that i always had, and still have SPOTM's best interests at heart. i got banned for trolling. i didnt stop posting after i was banned...it takes a lot more than a ban to get me off a forum  anyway being banned made me post less, even though i DO post, and i got bored. when i get bored i usually find ways to occupy my time that basically is how i started the process of hacking teh admin account. anyway you know what happened from there. i posted. i admitted. it ended. now i explain why i admitted. they would never have caught me. im good at what i do (especially moms ) so why did i admit? because they would have figured out pretty soon that the project was posted by a hacker and not dan. i mean dan would have been contacted by rob and he would have been like "eh? my project?" and then the project, after gaining traction, would have been canceled like it was now. I WAS HOPING TO AVOID THAT! ALL I WANTED WAS THE PROJECT TO GO ON...DO YOU ALL REALIZE THAT? I GAVE MYSELF UP FOR YOU! I "DIED" SO YOU ALL COULD "LIVE" seems the jews do that a lo6t for you non jews (for those of you idiots who dont get it...i made a jesus reference.) anyway yeah i figured that the project would be so popular because dan posted it that they would NEVER let it get stopped because it would make them look like idiots. guess i was wrong. it WAS stopped. admins. mods. this is me calling you out. give SPOTM an honest answer. based on previous track record, would you have executed the idea as i did? would you have posted in teh important section? would you have changed teh announcement? would you have used the mass messenger? would you have given it the attention i gave it? would you have gotten to it as fast as i did? no. you wouldnt have. you all know it. i dont care what the reason is...that you have other things to do and whatnot...thats not relevant,. you wouldnt have done it. admit it! also let me say this. you morons botched teh best thing to ever hit SPOTM. this project was the most promising thing since the bgeginning of SPOTM and everyone knows it. when i admitted it was me you all could have checked for damage, changed the password, TAKEN CREDIT FOR THE PROJECT WITHOUT ANYONE EVER KNOWING YOU WERE HACKED, CONTINUED WITH THE PROJECT, AND MOVED THE FUCK ON.org! but you didnt! you had to make yourself look dumb...and wreck the most promising project ever to be made on SPOTM. and dont tell me about D3P0. that project is SHIRT, it never helped anyone nor will it, and everyone knows it. so heres my statements. you are all fucking retards. you wouldnt know ending worldsuck if it danced naked in front of you with glitter on its tits. (or wang...for jean and erin  ) so yeah. ill enjoy my ban. and dont worry about me trying a stunt like this again...i now know that it would never work. thanks to you bunch of dipshits. ill still be here...i have an account ive been maintaining for a while in case of a ban...ill be involved in teh project i started, trying to keep it alive. no thanks to you. if this project succeeds...know that it was ME not YOU who made it happen and that you NEVER could have done what i did. so suck it. |

All I'm going to say right now is this: if this stunt is what the people here needed to get the proper motivation, that's great. That's fine. Even better: if this stunt is what it takes to get Dan to ACTUALLY come back, yay.
But right now I'm awaiting Dan's response to it all. I don't want to say anything that's not my place to say.
But, everyone... please... if you're getting involved with the project, follow through. Stick with it. See it to it's end. And then? Don't stop. That'll prove you guys (and hopefully myself) can actually get something REAL done.
It doesn't feel right for me to say anything else at this point, so I'll stop here.

That project is just too much too soon. Although a bit big, the project can certainly be done. It was made more as a motivational tug than an actual long term attempt at revitalizing SPOTM. A/w I'm trying to think of a long term plan, that starts out small, to go hand in hand with this. It's not meant to draw attention from this project, but to set up the moon correctly once and for all. Shameless link here: tinyurl.com/3lnb4r3 |

Wooooaaaahh there Bomdabombomb. I was asleep when all of this happened so don't go blaming ALL of us.
That said, what you say is pretty much true. But I would like to point out that us posting what you posted in our own name instead of Dan's would have had just as much impact as if you had posted it under your own name: very little. Nothing against you, but.. you know how hard it is to motivate us. Just don't blame us for not hacking Dan's account, kay? (At least I think that's what you were saying).
Either way, at this stage I don't think it really matters who posted what, who hacked who, who deleted what; The project is going on, we're gaining momentum, and if we forget about all this drama we can probably actually change something. I think that's the most important thing right now.
Also, I'll take the glittery tits, plz.

you morons botched teh best thing to ever hit SPOTM. this project was the most promising thing since the bgeginning of SPOTM and everyone knows it. lolno. Stop being so full of yourself, you arrogant douche But thanks for the entertainment that this stunt provided. It was fun watching everyone get all excited thinking Dan needed them, then when they're accused of only doing it for Dan being all, "NUH UHH. I'm gonna do the project anyway just to prove you wrong!" |
