Good job. The decent thing to do would have been to ask grim why he had two accounts, before coming here and spreading it, trying to get rep points and attention for yourself.

[close]

if you look at my earlier posts i acknowledged that fact that i could have lost my account within 50 posts of becoming a pal, dumbass. what the hell does this have to do with my rep?

Don't listen to the haters Scoot, you did what needed to be done on your way to PALdom...

maybe it's just the Canadians hating on scoot, but this is fucking 'Merica.  Shoot first ask questions last.

Agreed, you will have to pry this message board from Scoots "Cold dead hands"

[beeda weeda]

gnars to scoot, I've been gnaring you for 2 days, I suspect that Grim has been kooking you with his multiple accounts (there has to be many), cause I am positve all of the other pals have been gnaring you as well.
good luck scoot! hurry up and become a pal before sunset!

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

what did this have to do with my rep? im tired of everybody treating other people like superhumans when we're all just a bunch of skaters. i havent been on this site nearly as long as alot of you. how the fuck didnt you notice? if the dude had no rep or mod status he would have been hated on constantly and thats the truth whether any of you will admit it or not.

I guess it couldn't last for ever. I suppose if I wasn't benefiting from this corruption I might see it differently.
Most of us knew twitch/grim was one person, and figured treating them well would make us look good. I guess in hindsight he was kind of an ass.

No Gipper! you've already said too much, your tearing this place apart at the seams!!

[H8R part 4]

whats the big deal when half the people on this site have 2 or more accounts?
grim/twitch doesn't need multiple accounts, he can just adjust the amount of gnar/kooks he can dish out, then turn it back when hes done gnarring or kooking someone....he is/was the admin afterall.
-------------------------------------------------------


to some degree i understand why he had 2 accounts but why he had both admin and mod accts is kind of strange?
it would be one thing if he had a admin/mod account for when he had to regulate, then another regular member acct. just to hang with the rest of us, that would make sense to me but playing both admin and mod is a bit much, even if its a skate messageboard. 


in any case, i never had a problem with twitch nor grim, nor anyone else on this site.
thick skin and the ability to laugh at myself keeps things stress free.

 

[picklesickshuv-it]

i read this whole thread and i still find it hard to give a shit about anything anyone said about this "crisis". the boards are shaped by all of us, one dude has never been able to fuck it up. except alexactly that one time, but you just had to change your forum view to SMF...anyways grim was legit, i liked him before he was a moderator (if i remember correctly he hasnt always been a mod), and i still like him, hes funny, a genuinly nice dude that you can PM and always get a well thought response and represents himself and his hometown in a vere positive but humble way.  i think hes an admirable dude, and maybe i'd jack him off, i dont know.  i never even paid attention to anything twitch said anyways, i thought he was just there in case i couldnt log in, like schmitty or something, not a "pal".
and also, i thought i spent too much time on here, some of you are mentioning chat rooms and shit, how deep do you guys go?

lets all enjoy a tall, cold chelada and forget everything that happened here.

[ProjectPatrick]

I still don't understand the "scandel"... Wasn't he a normal member before he was twitch? I thought people just gave him respect becuase he earned it through things like the worldwithoutceos.com website, not becuase he was an admin or had rep. You guys are so fucking lame to actually admit that you hold in such high standard the little number next to your name. Sometimes it seems like the messageboard is more important/exciting to some people than thier real lives...

[sweets]

isant anyone gonna come to grim's defense??

I will. Grim definitely shouldn't have lost his job over this if that's true. I've always thought Grim gave even handed opinions while respecting others'. I hope he comes to answer some of these accusations. I still have faith there was a good and noble reason for this debacle.

This is the Slap Boards we're talking about! This is serious!  FUCK YOU GRIM/TWITCH/NICK/NEAL!!!! Whatever the fuck your name is!

[bizarro gub]

if this whole thing is about gnars i think its about time they shut the boards down again.

[kilgore.]

it's about the truth bizgub...the truth. how high do you hold the truth in life? this is us being lied to from day 1 to day now. somebody had to let the people know, and our boy scoot came through with a hammer that will change the way we look at one of our  posters forever.

[Bipsmound]

I don't know anything about this Gritch business, but Scootboard is one hell of a shitty poster.  Attention grubbing baloney for ingrate back patters.  50 posts a day motherfuck.

damn kilgore about time you signed on hahah. wheres jesusonviagra and briden and **********? and baxty and all the dudes

[bizarro gub]

have you ever been treated unjustly ever by a mod kilgore? i dont think anyone has besides beautiful and deigo. so in reality the only people that should be bitching about this are really them.

i think its a little stupid that dude lost his job. had there been a "hey guys i want to pass down the mod torch" thread up in the tg, or anywhere on the boards really, one of the first guys to get a nod would have been grim.

it should be comforting to you that one of your own was running the place. exactly like it should be.


edit: by the way who was the dude who told you scoot. i think he should have a say in some of this as well.

[yeah dude!]

I could have sworn someone made this connection awhile ago but I'm probably wrong. I guess I'm with Gub though and don't see the big deal. It's one thing if accounts were getting deleted but I don't think that's the case. If he (Grim/Twitch) was using one account to gnar the other or whatever I think the embarrassment of that is punishment enough. It would make sense that Slap would want a admin that had knowledge of the boards so to give one of us that power and then hide the identity isn't that surprising to me.

[jesus0nvi4gra]

Anyone who doesn't think this is so fucked up is seriously an idiot.  Gritch is a fooking kook just inflating his own ego.  I mean the dude gets paid to run this fucking place yet is totally playing it to put himself on a pedestal.  Anyone hating on Scoot must seriously have blinders on, open up your fucking eyes.

I'm still here scoot. Had to catch a couple ZZZ's before my physical therapy, but I'm on board all the way.

Wuddup Gritch.

[kilgore.]

gritch, officially dethroned.

[bill hates]

its fucking stupid that hes not a mod anymore, but as said before, he didnt lose his job.

of course i could say that its bullshit that he got into shit with slap for it and that i feel like a dick and im mad at the other dudes for that but noone would believe that shit anyways.

the whole reason for posting this thread was to point out how fucking dumb people are about this shit. two accounts? let off cause he has an affiliation with something that might "turn off" an owner for an ad campaign in a shitty mag anyways? wheres the correlation between the boards and the mag? how many of our topics have been published in an otherwise unread magazine called slap? why the fuck was there even another account? why cant twitch be fucking twitch? and now that people have found shit out hes not allowed on as mod anymore? does he at least still get to keep grimcity? thats bullshit.

what the fuck is skateboarding but expression? how many dumb fucks have lost sight of this? if slap is the so called "last stand" of skateboardings true, raw opinion.. then where the fuck is grim? fuck the dude who handed this shit down to gritch. there is no reason for him to have lost his account. theres no reason for him to have even needed to make a new account. it wasnt about me not liking grim, it wasnt about trying to sabotage him out of his mod status. it had nothing to do with any of that. it was obviously bullshit to have two personas for two seperate accounts. a mod loses his voice after he gets a high position? fuck that.

people who post here are just regular fucking people. people. not some digital name with a little number next to it. can you not seperate a person from their rep? there are so many people here who have been raised above the rest. and if you ever fucking call them out you get kooked. for the record. i dont like louie barlettas skating. i have never worn half cabs and have never jacked off from the feeling of wearing cords, much less have i even bought them. i havent watched all the episodes of cardiels epicly laterd. i am the poster formally known as tony hawk. if this is where youre supposed to have an opinion then why the fuck cant you have one? i hate half the skaters that are praised on here, and im sure half of you do too. why the fuck arent we allowed to say shit?

this is supposed to be real. real opinions and real things to fucking say. how in the fucking hell did twitch lose his mod status? all we wanted was a fucking reason why

dear slap. your magazine sucks dick. you have nothing to defend. let twitch back on. let grim back on. the message boards are more revered then your shitty writing. how about you incorporate the posters of this forum into your mag before you start blowing posters out of the forum for misrepresenting your waste of paper. fuck you slap. reinstate gritch and let him stand up for himself.

[Teacup]

Some of you seem confused, so I'ma repeat what twitch/grim said in his post.

Him having two accounts was for the sole reason that a company who wishes to make money from advertising, CAN'T have anyone who could be seen as representing the company (i.e. Twitch/any other administrator) expressing opinions which may contradict the goals of the parties who advertise through said company.

Here's an example:

Plan B pays SLAP to put up a banner with one of their adverts. Twitch posts in a thread hating on Sheckler. Sheckler is a property of Plan B, and Twitch is member of the SLAP company. Ergo, SLAP is now responsible for any damaging material to Plan B Twitch may have posted. This is a pretty weak example, but you get the idea. A more realistic one would be what Twitch/Grim already mentioned with him posting the World Without Pros thing.

This is a legal issue. Do you guys really give Grim so little credit as to think he was just being petty, running around with two accounts so he could kook/gnar people two fold? The point was to be able to post anonymously under a different name unrelated to the company, so he could still participate and share his opinions without hurting SLAP.

Have you guys ever seen an infomercial, and before it starts it states a disclaimer saying "XYZ Channel does not share the opinions expressed in this advertisement..."? It's the same thing. It's a legal thing.
Hopefully the dude can keep his job, and just never be allowed to post here again...

And for the record, I agree with you scoot that it's bullshit. He shouldn't have to hide behind multiple screen names just so he can express himself, but this is how the world works. It's fucked up, but it is what it is.
