I suppose you've never had your mod powers taken away.
one minute, you're a respected member, and you've got mod powers, then suddenly some moron comes along and is given admin powers by the site owner, & next thing you know, you're powerless.
cmoon you say it's not a big deal having your mod powers taken away, but it's even bigger, because my former-friend, back then-- well, we became friends on cfj and something inside us clicked. we stuck by each other, until The Evil Lobster made a forum, gave me Global Mod powers and became friends with Dark Shadows.
Not a prob, i thought- until he dissapeared & i nearly lost one of the best friends i have ever had.
Now he's gone again, & I'm no longer a Global Mod
(if you don't beleive me go to that site & ask if Potato was a Global Mod) and now Varkolak/Varkey/Brittany/Evil_Lobster/dorkfish04 is not my friend anymore. She's out of the circle of trust.
And i am sticking by that. *sigh* i need a hug.
