I haven't had a rant thread in a while and I know most of you guys enjoy them so I'm going to hope to make up for the time away and with recent events, I give you my rant on "Internet Drama."

So apparently, a couple children decided to attack our forum over a "ripping" of their theme. Well here's my question. How the fuck is it a big fucking deal? Like in all seriousness, you dump money into a forum that on average won't last more than 1 year of full activity, will die out, then will have a "re-birth" phase and no one will deliver and all that money will go to waste. Now this is a generic thing because I see that with most new forums so if this other forum has been around longer, then my apologies. But even if it doesn't apply to you, what does the theme have anything to do with internet problems? Webs.com offers templates for free for websites. So if someone has my template, should I run to his house, fuck his cat, burn his daughter, and eat their hamster? No! It's a website and if you were really mature and knew how to actually run a website, you'd simply email the admin of the other site maybe asking a couple questions and if it really offends you, address the matter to the admin and maybe work something out. Otherwise, it's a fucking theme and it's really isn't a big fucking deal. There's so many graphical and colorful possibilities for forum layouts that eventually, one is going to have "similarities" to others. I'm pretty sure everyone on MyBB that designs knows what's out there and wouldn't take credit for someone eles' work without proper credits given. I've been around long enough to know that with "good" quality members and not just a dime a dozen like most forums and MyBB has good quality.

Now on for more bullshit and yes, this kind of stuff irritates me hence the foul language being very much present unlike my other rants. Just things like this between childish and arrogant people annoy me and require a lot of maturing in their future days. If you're really going to attack someone over the internet because they hurt your feelings, then you either have:

• Too much free time
  
• A far too sensitive soul
  
• To get the fuck off the internet
  

If someone was to come into your school and disconnect your ethernet cord when playing a game on the internet, are you really going to whine and cry and get your buddies to finger fuck the CD tray with a wire hanger so he can't watch his cartoons on a CD, then remove yourself from the internet. Most of you take little issues to the extreme because you think you possess tools that will make you a hardass and cool kid. It's like Don Vito buying a Bugatti and thinking the 14 year old chicks will still want his cash and prizes. No, it doesn't work that way. So if you DDoS a forum because they "ripped" some of your content, then you're still a pussy bitch, will get made fun of for it, and then probably get angrier and look for a Linux Server, get ripped off in the marketplace because you're an idiot, and then look to watch the world burn. Face it, taking actions over the internet will always backfire on you and it's an endless chain of doucebags each and every year. You're all the reason why I want to run a forum because I'd ban 80% of the faggots that join probably.

No on a more professional term, I've run many forums before and e-drama really makes an Administrator's job very hard. From keeping the community active with upcoming events, new add-ons, traffic management, and so much more, I don't think he wants to be a baby-sitter either. Forums want to have fun with their members and bring others in, no matter who they are, why they're here, and anything else that separates the men from the boys. Just learn to get along with other people and if some are really that bad, then just ignore them and move on because in this world, you're not going to please everyone and you're not always going to have the best reactions on everything you do.

TL;DR - The last couple of days have been lame and all I want to do is post on DZ and have fun here. I've put some money into this forum and don't want to see it die. I like what Blue has done and I know he could use some roughening up around the edges when running this place, but he has great potential along with Uzi who I know is top-notch Admin quality make this a great place. Also Pal, you're a fantastic member along with Krew and tdog. You're all great, but these guys have been eye catchers to me.

STL;DR - Fuck drama. Let's push on.
