Announcement: TheWarpath.net Front Office Changes

[dmek25]

i claim first dibbs on question #3

[Big C]

the sponsored links are gone too...

[GTripp0012]

Just lived through the real life version of this...(not a divorce, im only 18)

The best thing might be to go seperate ways, but I'd like to hear matty's side of the story first.

[PWNED]

same here. ive heard the 'other guys'

[Cooley 350Z]

If it turns out this is a joke, I'm definately gone. I joined this site to talk Redskins football with some cool people, not to be a pawn in some endless "inside-jokes" of pwning & defectors by the mods.

[PWNED]

well if it is a joke, its a pretty elaborate one. but even if it is, il just feel stupid and m ove on.

as long as it doesnt become a habit!!!!1

[MTK]

Here's my side of the story for now:

1) I have work to do, so this will be my last post on this until later tonight.

2) We've had some differences among that mods and things just aren't going to work out. I've always fought to keep this site high quality and focused on the discussions.

We've never been a site with a bunch of bells and whistles... we do what we do best, talk about the Skins in a typically civil and respectful manner. Some people disagree with the direction we are moving in and feel we should be moving in a different direction, so much like a divorce we are all agreeing to disagree and we are severing the relationship.

I can assure everyone The Warpath will continue on, strong as ever, and nothing is going to change here as far as content.

I'm very confident that we have a solid group of guys to choose from who will step up and be great moderators and contributors to the site's content, in fact I'm confident the new staff will be a dramatic improvement over what we have now.

If anyone wants to check out this new site that is certainly your prerogative.

This new site will be starting from scratch, but at least they'll have a power poll!


...

Staff announcements should be reserved for your new site, don't you guys think? I could really care less about who is doing the 2nd rate graphics for your site.

...

Maybe people should be choosing sides, because you guys seem to be taking a very childish route to handling this.

I'm not going to continue on with this distraction much longer, it's serving no purpose but to split the ranks and try to hype your new site.

If we can't handle things like civilized people, I'll lock down the thread and/or start handing out some bans. Your choice, smootsmack.

...

On 2nd thought, I think I'll be keeping the redskinswarpath domain name.

Find your own site name, I'd rather not have this site associated with yours in any way.

...

You mean that "weekly" feature that only gets posted about once a month?

Yeah, go ahead and enjoy.

...

Jeez, I tend to think that I get into disagreements with everyone at some point, at least that's what jackasses like tafkas would have me believe.

...

I'd really love to know how Brud will be attending games and obtaining any sort of legit access. ES has exclusive rights as I believe, so unless you guys are in bed with them...

Ah now things are becoming clear.

...

Audio and video from the parking lot?? LOL

Wow, what exclusive coverage, really looking forward to seeing that on a weekly basis... check that, with you it will probably be much more sporadic. Those weekly deadlines are tough to keep up with.

...

Tony is really hooking you guys up!

Parking lot access, I'm really impressed!

...

CC will be staying put thank you

He appreciates hard work, class, and delivering a quality product to the fans.

Either that or he's all booked up on Sundays and can't make it to FedEx parking lot.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to think about the "Defector" avatar a little while.

haha matty that was pretty politician of you. are you going to give us a REAL answer tonight?

No, I think this is his real opinion of the matter and chooses not to get into it NOT because he has to, but he wants to. I have realized that when it's time to go your separate ways, you just need to break it as soon as possible and as cleanly as possible.

i.e - Redskins with Arrington and Ramsey.

[PWNED]

right, i guess taking sides is just being childish. im going to enjoy both sides regardless.

[djnemo65]

I don't know how the new site is going to be but I do know this: the idea that this site will be better without Tafkas, Brudlee, MC, and Ramseyfan is ludicrous. That doesn't mean I'm taking a side - I'm not. But they are some of the true mvp's of this site.

I'm not a superstar here, just a guy who visits everyday and reads a lot more than I post. But I think I'm not the only one who feels that we were really starting to build something here as a community, and I don't care what anyone says, it will never ever be the same. This is a sad day in my life.

I respect your opinion but you'll just have to trust me, I have a few aces up my sleeve that will make you forget about the past very quickly.

Well a lot of my mod powers have been removed so I won't delete this. And I completely understand all the frustration here. Let's just try to focus on the positive here. A new exciting Redskins site is coming soon, and the opportunity has presented itself for some people on this site to really step up. As Matty has indicated, the current regime is not to his standards anyway.
