This thread has just-plain gone on too long. Staff is highly-aware of the outcries the site has, we're getting nothing productive done, any real argument for-or-against anything was stomped out early by several of us. Mahz is a motherfucking adult capable of assessing a situation, making judgement calls and taking responsibility. Not a soul on this site has any right to second-guess his judgement, question his calls or even dare imply there is fallacy in his actions. He provides us a service free of any charge to any of us. His service, to us, has created a community, it has given birth to all of these great things people have vouched for and hold important. We have already determined the RPGuild is not dying, other opinions are the minority and fall on deaf ears, leaving this thread to fall short of its original purpose.I also feel a lot of more recent posts are just dick-measuring competitions to see whom can seem the most mature in how we resolve hostilities and conflicts here. That may not be the intention, but when I read through some of these admittedly-impressive soliloquies, it just looks like a redundant series of posts where the next guy tries to sound better than the next. That's nonsense. Half of this thread is nonsense. If you guys want to have different discussions, go make them. Go make them and have a constructive conversation over the site instead of debating over tangents on this one. That's not productive, its just circular debate where none of the Staff or anyone observing the thread can attain useful information by observing and assessing it. You all have voices to be heard, intellectual points to make. Go make them in way that will be intelligent, constructive and structured. What I see on this thread, at this point, is just pointless. The question was answered and beaten to death. Move on.

I don't think offering a free service exempts you from constructive criticism. Telling Mahz to throw out the fishing line and reel in some assistance can't be worded in a nicer or more 'intelligent' manner; it's a basic piece of advice, not an entire thread that requires 30 pages of extensive discussion to come to a conclusion.
