First off, you know I don't block people, and i've proven it many times over, so you might try a better excuse. You still have my skype, and it still works.
Hell the fact that you're on here is obvious enough.
When we extended the branch for you to be helpful, you put in a lot of effort on things that weren't on the list, and refused to work on the stuff that was on the list, citing boredom and annoyance. You complained you didn't get everything on day 1 and the few works you did (which were cited in changelog) were pulling teeth and took more time than if we had to do them ourselves.
Which isn't exactly unusual, its a thankless job and there's a huge training time to learn new systems. Problem is you gotta work through the crap and learn the systems before you can start doing the fun work of upgrades and changes, or else you have unintended consequences.
it's the reason echo's wasted months of his own time trying to train up three seperate groups of new people, with a 80%+ attrition rate, which to his credit is below obsidian's historical average of 92%. It's the reason i've wasted months of my time back when i did it, and the reason there are many Counci and Seer graves in the admin area, because its not a job you can do if you don't love the ever loving crap out of it and can stand the monotony and annoyance.
I've said it before, and i'll say it again. There's work to be done and i've been more than willing to hand over the reigns to anyone who gets it done. The problem is the work to be done is not what people -want- to work on, so it never gets done.
You're not the first to fail the above test, and you're probably not going to be the last, and I don't hold it against you that you did. No sane person with other prioties in life should pass it.
I regret I don't have the time to truly sink in to revive obsidian, but I can at least sink in a couple hours a month to keep it running for the dozen or so people who still play, and for those who want to pop in every once in a while to walk down memory lane. Admittedly spring is my busy season and with the new job i hadn't really had the time to do much more than ensure the server itself stays up, so when i finally got things slowing down spending 8 hours fixing the site and getting forums back up was my priority.
