Public Apology & More

[Mad Russian]

First off, this isn't about MR taking a side other than what's best for the Blitz.

It's not an "us against them" issue.

This is an issue of how the Blitz is run both externally and internally. They are very distinct and should be separate areas. More than likely the same people endeavor to do both. This is a small site with limited resources.

What needs to be determined is how to keep the Blitz operating without all the drama and still as efficiently as possible.

Secondly, if in fact the entire future of the Blitz rests on Randy's shoulders then I'm amazed. If the owners of this site have put into being a site that is so fragile that it relies on the health and well being of a single person to keep it up and running I would think all the members would have to take a good hard look at ever posting in a thread or to the ladders here ever again.

Randy is not invincible. Things can happen. He got hurt in his job for instance. Why this site has not long ago been transferred to a site where a common programming language can support the site is beyond reason.

That's not what we are here to discuss though. What JvK does with this site is his own business.

How it's run and the officers have been left up to others to decide. It's the resignation of Randy that presents a huge problem for the Blitz. As has been pointed out by Bootie, if Randy leaves with ALL his toys there may well not be a game anymore here.

This is one of those defining moments where a group of people will work on a solution to a problem and either fix it and move on, or not fix it and have the whole thing crash around them.

I've offered to help. That's all I can personally do. I cannot, nor am I willing to learn to do the programming for the site.

The rest is up to Randy and SG.

Good Hunting.
