Make no mistake Kiwi, DP ruined it. I don't even have anything against the guy other than a little "board rivalry", but you earned a right to take a vacation without someone kissing Rons ass and coming in and changing board policy without any regard for the people who made it what it was. And when they asked you to step down the original V boarders(post Jimmy of course), saw what was going on and put a stop to it, but with DP squatting there for no good reason, you are fighting an uphill battle.
He seems happy to stay on as mod and I personally think he's a great guy, even though most of you guys in the Y have currently got him on the shit list.
It's not like if DP steps down and we take those 2 stickies down, everyone is going to jump on and start thread after thread. The whole novelty factor just wore off after a while, not to mention it involves a lot of work - PMing posters to come down to the V and post etc - things I don't do anymore.
So I don't think it's DP or at least, DP alone
