Abandon ship! They fired all the mods! Come to the new place

TomRiddle

Today with NO warning, the moderators who rode out the storm of the last week were told their services are no longer necessary, as XO group will be replacing the volunteer moderators with “paid moderators” (read: staff) to help the community grow. 

Mark my word, these “moderators” will NOT care about the communities.... They don’t understand what it is like, they have not walked this road. They are just there to punch buttons and click things for their 8 hours a day and then leave it all when they go home. They are not invested in me, or in you, or in anything other than  a paycheck. 

All that said, I know that many of you have been hesitant to jump ship. I know your community is very much an island where most bump politics don't reach. I respect that and I respect if you choose to stay here. But I wanted to invite you once more to join us on the dark side at **** where the admins respond to our questions, and where the motivation to foster a community is truly altruistic and not simply the motivation to bring home a paycheck. 

I do hope that you will consider relocating your community to the proboards- TheBump is not what made this community. Each and every one of you are. And that community won’t change simply because the URL at the top of your browser did. 

So come join the Bad Apple family.

I'm on the new board with the same name. There's no harm in having some more people check it out if you want to come say hi!

I completely agree that it is so very important to have moderators of and for the boards rather than external, paid moderators. I want @firstcomeslove as my moderator. And I want a PGAL moderator on PGAL. And I want a moderator who has experience loss on the Loss board. This is common sense. Nothing about us without us.
