That other forum

The thing I've been struggling with for the last few days is this: We all put in time, thought, energy, and helped document stuff we thought was "important" about Mustangs.
Even the stuff that wasn't important information, we laughed, we shared, and we enjoyed.
The mods we had worked hard to calm down guys who were having a bad day, kept the bots and spammers out, and made it genuinely pleasant.

In short, we had a neat little 'ecosystem' of Mustang gearheads who were pretty happy. And - a few donations aside - this was all 'for free'. We weren't being paid, we did it out of love.

Then some gasbag we don't know who doesn't care about Mustangs, boops in, starts giving everyone wedgies. He's getting PAID to do this. He gaslights us, tells us how terrible we are, tells us that we're rude, that we're bashing moderators (when we're honestly just looking around in confusion, asking ourselves, "Is this really happening?")

... and he has the gall to insult us all, say we're "troublemakers", and gushes about how much better the site is without us.

Does any of this actually make any sense? I mean, someone paid him actual money to do this? I feel like this is an underutilized job opportunity.

It's like Masters of the Universe.

There was a guy in that show named "Stinkorr - Evil Master of Stench." I'd never realized that there was a job position where you could get paid for being stinky, and here's a guy that's gone straight to the top with it. He's the MASTER of stench. Probably gets paid double overtime on weekends, and BAM. He went for it with gusto.

So, being jobless right now, I am wondering, where can I apply to get paid for visiting someone's forum as a top-tier moderator, make trouble, insult everyone, ban tons of random cool people, and make a great nuisance of myself before leaving?

Yup.

We all feel the pain, but you know what? I’d rather support and individual who cares over a corporation .

So in the end, I’m super happy with everyone who joined Scotty, Brad and I as we left or well, were banned :)
