As of this morning SSCC MetalGear CTF's website and forums are no longer up. I can't say why or how this happened, but I just *guess*. I will find out once I speak with TT and pull the logs.

[★ Blocks]

MG site/forum done

You got my hopes up and then dashed them with a misspelling.

[★ freakmonger]

sorry

[Knight]

[🜲 PoLiX]

Guessing it partly has to do with SVS's bang/billing being removed?

[Knight]

We will experience a roll back more then likely... but kirk has a backup from less then a month ago... he had one from the 25th... but kinda forgot to download it... heh...

 

As for polix:

We should have some that are a lot more recent than that (I hope). Hopefully it'll be back up soon.

[Knight]

!@#$%^&*o my fellow metalgearians (and those of you reading this at sscentral ^^), as many of

you are well aware by now, SVS (our leading sysop and bang admin) has had his bang admin,

biller and in-game rights revoked recently. We will not discuss in detail as to what lead up to this,

however you the players do have a right to know the basics of what has happened, seeing as this is

affecting our zone as a whole.

 

Starting the story from the beginning, a recent dispute between SVS and Admiral Kirk broke

out of a simple forum topic. This then lead to a number of upper staff opinions swaying one way or another,

agreeing with one or the other via their own personal opinions. To make this quick and skip a bit, it ended

up, as Testtube put it, becoming a “who has the bigger e-penis fight”. The argument involved a number

of actions by both sides, which should NOT have occurred, but eventually ended with SVS net and local

banning Admiral Kirk for 5000 days, one action which should not have occurred. This then resulted in

Testtube returning for a short while to sort out the situation, and unfortunately ended up with SVS’ BanG

powers being removed completely and indefinitely (as many of you have seen via SSforum.)

 

Both Admiral Kirk and SVS were to be welcomed completely back into the zone, with kirks ban

being lifted. However, sadly SVS has chosen not to return with us, and has instead stated he is “done with

SS” as freakmonger put it. We decided to leave SVS’ access to various parts of MetalGear for a while,

giving him a moment to cool-off and let him re-think his decision.

 

After this incident, SVS had then used his rights on the metalgearctf.net webserver to erase

our entire forum and site database. Testtube has confirmed this via IP logs, and has provided a

screenshot (shown below post) This shows the last person to login is a broadband user using a small

company called Sunflower A cross check of svs ip shows that he has used a ISP of sunflower as well

at one point in time. Since this action, his rights within MG, have been removed entirely.

 

As of now, our current status motions for us to put Kn|ght and freakmonger in charge of

the zone effectively as of now, with Testube owning the rights to MG. SVS has been removed, and

we have been granted everything he needs. Nothing major will change and Metalgear CTF has gone

back to the way it was.

 

-Kn|ght, Plugman, freakmonger, Testtube

& the rest of the administrative staff at MGCTF

---------------------

 

From the MGCTF Staff:

Regardless of what has happened in recent events, on behalf of staff both past and present, and

indeed the entire zone itself, we would like to thank SVS from the bottom of our hearts. What you

have done for the zone over the years has well outweighed how you left. You have left your mark

here, and you will not soon be forgotten, you have regulated the way a large portion of this zone

runs, and as Testtube said, you are part of MetalGear history. You have worked hard through

countless bang bans, and have certainly been the guy to look up to for many years for many other

staffers being a figurehead. If you were just gracing us by showing that you could still own public

whenever you wanted, or working hard being the sysop we loved, MetalGear will soon miss you

my friend.

 

---------------------

 

Questions and Answers:

 

Will anything happen otherwise? No, nothing is going to change to the general public or

for that matter lower staff. The only thing which has been affected is upper staff.

 

Has anything been lost? Nothing major has been lost, the forums have been dated back a

ittle bit, but that is all. No major SSCC MetalGear CTF content was lost during this.

 

Is there anything I, a simple player can do? Not really I am afraid, all we ask is you show

everyone involved the respect they have earned and act in a mature way.

 

Is much else going to happen? To our knowledge nothing more will occur out of this, we

do not intend to make this bigger than it is.

 

Why is this post here, why did you tell us all this? After discussion between Plugman and

Kn|ght we agreed this would be the easiest way to inform the general community of what has

happened, and to avoid them gaining wrong opinions.

 

Is Admiral Kirk returning? Kirk will be coming back to work here amongst us once again.

 

Why have I not heard any of this before now or today? Simple we tried to keep this as

quiet as we could over the week or so it occurred, and not involve you the public so to as

keep this issue as least-damaging as possible. We are standing by our decision as it has not

let us sink to the controversy other zones has seen when this has happened.

 

Will anything net-wide change Probably so, unfortunately I cannot comment on the affairs

of the SSC BanG Admins, you'll have to wait for them to comment

 

If you have any other questions, you can contact Kn|ght in-game, or via his email at knight@metalgearctf.net

thanks hun to inform us!

[Shock]

SVS and I weren't the greatest of friends, but I can say that he cut me down on a ton of bans in the past. So, for that, SVS, thanks and sorry to see you go in such a bad way. Edited March 30, 2007 by Shock

Any and all flame threads, or other b.s. will be deleted. Please keep this topic clean. Thanks.

[Knight]

Thanks syrus.

[Vegito]

!@#$%^&* SVS...

 

Gramps did the same thing, please be original

 

 

SVS's positive impact on SS and MG is undeniable. But he got what was coming to him.

Topics merged. No reason to have 3 topics for the same issue.

[The Apache]

awesome, SVS is gone!

[Gravitron]

All I can say is that I am sad that it took an internal matter which involved a "higher up" (testtube) for this to occur.

There have been long do!@#$%^&*ented reports of SVS abusing power and I've known him since before he became a power tripping jerk and after and I could tell he was irresponsible and immature to handle this.

The way he went about "scorched earth", trashing the zone forums and perhaps other peripherals just proves it.

It was long time coming and he should've been removed from such an important authority position a very long time ago.

 

 

I'm just happy the zone wasn't permanently damaged from his spiteful actions, as the players usually end up paying the price for scorned upper staff.

[Mr. Right]

It was only a matter of time.

 

Good riddance.

[Agurus]

Never thought I see the day, haha.

[L.C.]

Sad to see SVS do such a thing and have this to happen, but justice must be served. -_-

[Chambahs]

Didnt read any of this because im not re!@#$%^&*ed...

 

 

APRIL FOOLS, hahaha, yea not funny. So obvious.

 

EDIT: If you are going to try to pull something like that, then at least do it to someone whos not svs. Make it more believable please.

[★ freakmonger]

wtf are you talking about chamb?
