Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dragon Snack" data-source="post: 4439177" data-attributes="member: 9810">I'll preface this by saying I haven't been to Gleemax in ages (other than to read a couple pages of the thread linked above - certainly not all of it) and it involves a friend...G0 actually rubbed a lot of people the wrong way (as you can tell by the beginning of that thread), but everything came to a head when he asked for people's opinion on forum reorganization.  He then promptly ignored everyones input and instituted what were seemingly random changes.  They even went against some of his own 'rules' for reorganization - ie, if a forum got more than 50 posts a day it was to remain open, but yet the Character Optimization board was trashed (or was slated to be).  This caused a rift between G0 and Autumn, the VCL, so G0 fired Autumn (apparently the V in Volunteer Community Lead didn't stand for volunteer) and replaced her with someone who hadn't actually applied for the position (volunteer is such a pesky word).So, between ignoring people's opinions on the board reorganization and deriding (he went so far as to publicly call her unprofessional) a long time community leader (Autumn was formerly WizO_Autumn), G0 seemed to many people to be actively working against his stated role as "Community Liason".  At the very least, his qualifications for a Public Relations position were questionable (even if you believe his hands were tied from above).Again, I was not on gleemax and Autumn is a friend of mine, so maybe this is just a small subset of the firestorm he created (can I safely call a 3,000+ post thread a "firestorm"?).  I do know people had "unkind" knicknames for him even before this event.  Take it as you may...</blockquote>
