Hm.. Ok, apparently they fixed the problem in the chat room. I'm still pissed off at 2 of the other people in there, but being as they're retarded anyway (no, not KoNP either), I can probably over look that.
No pie, I've really just about completely lost my interest in editing. That happened a while ago though. I haven't really had an overwhelming urge to bother since making my Lain video. I've always made the videos on personal experience and also for other people to enjoy. Meh, now, I just don't much care, and it's been almost 2 years since I have.
*shrug*.. maybe I'll try the chat again. -

Warning: ranting ahead.
I'm thinking it's about time I just up and left Anime and Anime music vidoes and everyone I currently don't know or talk to on AIM behind. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's been coming for a long time now, but it's finally gotten to the point of absolute absurdity. I do not wish to deal with stupid little children who need to be policed and power trip whenever they're granted powers over others. The anime music videos community used to be a lot of fun. There were your great participants, and there were simply a few trolls you had to deal with. People who made the Org great in the 'old days' like AD, BBT, ErMac, You Choose Sam, The Rest, Sammy, MJ, Shadow, DokiDoki, Hakura, MeriC, Pie, and all of the people who really enjoyed good conversation on the Phorums really made you feel a part of a bigger family. It used to be so much fun. And then popularity of it all exploded, and Phade opened the new forums and all hell just broke loose. It started simply enough, I stuck to the Off Topic forum and music forum, because I couldn't stand the absolute stupidity of every other fucking forum that was flooded with 11-15 year olds asking the same idiotic questions constantly. My enjoyment of anime was slipping away as I would constantly associate it with these immature posters. Cons I went to, looking at the people there made me sick, and eventually it degenerated to the point I just really dind't want to associate myself with anime fans. They remind me too much of drag queens.
Eventually I stopped making anime music videos and stuck to the AIM chat. When the AIM chat got overly annoying due to the morons flowing in there using their stupid ass different color schemes and making everything generally unreadable, I took a great interest in the modded IRC chat. Eventually, I stopped going to the website at all and just spent my work days in IRC conversing with people there, stepping out whenever the conversation shifted to anime or other topics I cared no discuss. Anyone who's chatted with me in a room will tell you I can be a pompus ass. I make no excuse or move to deny that yes, I do indeed go over the top, and push peoples buttons, but I've also always respected people's limits. If I'm told nicely to back off and shut up, I will, otherwise, I keep going. Since the mods knew how I was, I got away with more than my fair share, both the few times I posted in the forums and most of the time in the chat rooms. I always bent the rules and everyone who's talked to me will tell you that, and if I went too far off shore, the mods would say something, and I'd cut back. I enjoyed chatting in IRC, and frankly, I figured people enjoyed having me there.
But, today, for some reason, a new 'mod' was born in the room and frankly, its some snilly little fucktwad who never really deserved it anyway. King_of_No_Pants was modded by 3 or 4 mods to take care of people from Turkey. He's been a mod for a day and a half now, and he's already abusing power. Pfft, whatever. Mods tend to do that when they have IQ's of rocks. Reguardless, he flys off the handle and has a bad temper. I was kick banned from the room by him because somehow, one of the room members got his real name and I said it once or twice, after it had been said. Now, I probably should have been kicked for goading him into a fight. That I can say with a fair amount of truth, and I don't overly have TOO much of a problem with that. Surely I think a half(assed)-mod of a channel should be slightly more professional than to simply kick-ban someone for no solid reason other than being annoying, but what really pissed me off is that for the remainder of the morning, he continued to insult and antagonise me, and because he's a mod, everyone pretty much backed him up and let him go. Naturally, I wouldn't have given a shit if it was a few days later and he was insulting me left and right, but when you gag a whole channel and then voice everyone but me, then continue to insult me while I'm trying to explain the situation for the last time, and the mods do nothing about it but tell you to drop it, then yes, I believe there is a biased problem. When that half assed mod needs to get his approval for his actions like a spoiled royal prince from the king of the realms, yes, there is a problem, and when he rubs it in your face because someone said 'justified', and there is no action you can take, then yes, there is a problem.
I suppose it was only a matter of time before the fucked up bullshit of a way and poor decisions they're running the place now leaked over into the chat, and I guess thats finally happened. Instead of cleaning up their messes, they would rather justify them no matter how absolutely rediculious those justifications are. Truely the ends justifies the means. I think I'm truely finally understanding how Bush actually won the election. People inherently back other people in power, no matter how fucking retarded they are. It's a shame too, I really enjoyed conversing with people in the chat room, and with the exception of a few fuckwads, and a few stupid fucking mods, I'd like to think other people liked having me there. Yah, I know no one's going to shed any tears for my leaving, but I'm gonna miss the fun myself. I thought we learned from America's mistakes, but it seems like it's only on a grander scale when it comes to voting for presidents. Everything is ultimately the same. Lamers. - woot 2004-11-08 08:24:45 Flint and I started work on a new video. Collaberation owns. This video is going to be fucking great.

Dude, you did the right thing. Fat chicks are like mopeds, they're fun to ride until your friends catch you on one.
