So here's a bit more clarification on what's going on.
On the morning of December 2nd, 2016, I woke up and went on McM. All seems normal, and I head off for college.
While in college an hour later, I attempt to log back on, and run into trouble, including the error you're all too familiar with by now.
So I hop on the Mcmarket slack, and see the shit that appears to have gone down in the hour I wasn't online.
Long story short, Bebosny's admin account had its admin privileges removed, and the site was in the process of being moved to another host. This is what caused the initial 4-hour downtime.
Now ever since that happened, the site has been slow as fuck (by the time I post it this may have improved, but you can never be sure). I can't really explain why that is. I have no idea, not my type of knowledge. You'll have to ask Bebosny, because if Mick understood why, it would not bethis slow still.
At this point, a lot of you are confused. "How the hell can Bebosny lose admin powers when he owns the site?!" I hear you say.
In case this has not been explained at this point, he never truly was.
The moment of Bebosny taking over ownership of the site from Mick wasn't really a transferral of ownership. Just a transferral of managment.
I'm not privy to the reasoning behind this, but somewhere in the last month Bebosny tried to make a final bid (in more ways than one) to gain actual ownership of the site he's been trying to keep running.
This appears to have failed. From what I heard of him, he was locked out of the admin account of his OWN server before the whole thing started (yes, the server MCM was hosted on is owned by bebosny, even if the site isn't), then the move started.
The reason you only got what, a half hour warning, was that it was not Bebosny making a managment decision, but Mick and his newly hired system admin. Great communication, I know.
Now, back to the transferral of the site. This wasn't going too swimmingly, as I'm sure many of you could tell. At one point, the people involved were suspecting Bebosny of having shut down the server, because they kept getting errors. (only lasted a very short time)
Bebosny having been locked out of his admin privileges, this would be somewhat of a challenge for him. So instead, he decided to sit back and watch.
Now don't get me wrong. The server the site was moved to is not super lightweight or too crappy or anything like that (not my knowledge, this is what bebos told us). The site is simply not configured correctly for the type of server it's on. I wish the new sys admin the best of luck. I highly doubt bebosny feels like helping after being forcefully removed from his position as admin, which is effectively what happened.
Now, it looks like any chances of Bebosny becoming the site manager again are over.
Since all of this happened in an extremely unpleasant way that was by no means necessary, I don't exactly have the greatest confidence in the new managment. Would not have been too confident even if it had all been done professionally, but this goes way too far.
This message will double as my resignation. It's been an interesting run while it lasted (not really fun, but interesting nonetheless). I may or may not remain part of this community, depending on circumstances, but I have no intention of working under a management team I do not feel I can trust, rely on, work or even communicate properly with. On top of that, I have a college education to complete, and it's not the "party all night and ace the test in the morning" type. Even without this happening, I would not have been with you for more than a few months.
Half the reason I was still there is because I believe the team to be too small to do without me, even if I'm not the god of handling reports (M6 = god).
Mick nothing personal, really, despite what it may sound like. I was going to resign anyway, this whole event just sped things along a little.
DISCLAIMER: I do not under any circumstances claim that the above is purely fact. I'm a human being, which means I form opinions and have bias. The above is based on my observation of events. if you want to shit on that, make fun of it, or simply disagree in a civilized way, go ahead. I have better things to do with my life, especially now. Whether you'll be seeing me on this site a lot depends on fate now.
