I take it you are the invisible webmaster we have heard so little about.

What are your intentions for this site?

I'm giving him/her that chance.

Well you certainly do move things fast. Although a comment is usually appreciated with a move.

Anyway, we know you've seen it, when can we expect an answer?

We are his guests. So remember that it is better to get flies with sugar than vinegar. Perhaps the webmaster is busy and is moving things around and will get to the question in due time....

Yes please; we the community are distressed and worried about the future of this site as your recent actions have shown to be a bit extreme and some of us feel we can no longer count with the stability and reliability this site once offered.

If you have decided to take a more hands-on approach to the management of this site and take it away from those who have been doing it all along then you and us should expect responses, interaction and feedback from each other.

We are guests for the service (s)he provides. The services (s)he provides is nothing compared to the community that has been build by us, and by the moderators. The services can be replaced, the community cannot.

The behind the scenes actions, one moderator being locked out (Jai), and another ready to abandon ship (DoubtOfBuddha), and every moderator on a bandwagon of maxminis 2 emerging out of maxminis/hordelings, combined with an unannounced, and really scary, move, will required a very detailed and convincing responce to hold onto any portion of the community.

What response?
he addressed the entire community on a stickied thread at the top of General

Hi Folks,

maxminis is moving to a new high speed server, so you may see some weirdness as the transition occurs. We lost posts from about 1 am to 11 am PST for today, and I'm sorry about that. The good news is I don't anticipate any further losses. Hang tight for the new ride!

Very true but I don't see how (s)he owes us anything further than what already replied. It would be very good for everyone if there was a better reply tho.

Oh that. I got confused because that was posted nearly a half hour before you wrote the post that that is supposedly a response to. I guess you just hadn't seen it yet. I get it now, thanks.

I was unaware that Jai got locked out. What's the deal there?

I don't think he's locked out. I do think he lost access at the DB/Host level but he's still got an id, etc. and could probably post/moderate normally (his account does not appear to be locked, etc.)

So, limited functionality.

Really though, he has already moved on I think. I know he's been talking to the webmaster for a very long time (a year? don't know I'd have to check my email archives) about the future of the site. I think maybe he'd given up waiting. For a long time he and ktatroe have been trying to steer the sites closer to each other - have/want list integration, etc.
