Some of you may be aware of the drama that wen't down with the BO of /v/ (Mark Mann) and the leak of internal DMs between Mark Mann and Jim Watkins. (PDF Linked below for context.) While the content of these DMs trouble me on their own the disconnect between what Ron said on the board and what Jim said in his live stream on the same day were more troubling. As a result I decided to start looking around for bunker boards for this community. I am not ready to announce the backup just yet as its not finalized however I wanted to let those of you who are wondering know that I have been watching this as it developed and am taking actions to secure options if this place becomes untenable.
I want to be very very clear, I am not asking anyone to move to a new board. Where we go one we go all means we follow Q wherever he decides to post regardless of who the board owner is. At the end of the day I am just a janitor that is here to clean up the messes. I should hold no authority beyond following the established rules and operations of this board. Where Q goes I follow and until he decides to leave this board or other boards that I control, I will be of service until the ride ends.
Time for credit where credit is due. Codemonkey has been a good admin to us regardless of the issues with the site, he has been very responsive and open for questions whenever I need them answered. This is not a vote of no confidence in CM this is a precaution.
To reiterate I do not intend to move this community nor do I intend to dictate to Q where to post, that is above my "pay-grade" (I do this for free). This is just an update to the members of this community, I want you all to know I am staying on top of issues that may affect us and our research. Beyond that everything is business as usual.
Hope you had a good Easter.
