A message to my fellow demosceners...

As many of you know, in 01/08, I got banned from pouet for defending one my productions. I have been aware of the toxic admin/mod team behaviour for a very long time now (at least a decade), and I had to call them out for it. I won't get into much detail here, but anyone with a little sense can read their posts and mine and understand what is really going on, on that site. It's sad to see a once democratic, (anarchistic maybe) central demoscene site become such a bosy, toxic and fascist community. The problem lies not with its users, of course, but with the admin/mod team and how they handle things, as stated above. I want to thank all the old elites who stood their ground and defended me, especially Navis, one of the oldest members of the Greek Scene community, who I deeply respect and love. Don't be fooled. I won't be leaving the scene because of an arbitrary ban. I will be right here defending newcomers as some old elites did all these years for me.

P.S. 1: Gargaj you are one of the most failed administrators in pouet's history. You made pouet one the worst places for someone to start in the demoscene. This was not what analogue envisioned when he built the site.

P.S. 2: Havoc you seem like a good guy but age and grumpiness paint you in bad colors. Maybe it is your turn to change your behaviour?

P.S. 3: Maybe it is time for all of us to ditch pouet and make a switch to demozoo?

P.S. 4: Thanks everyone who showed their support. The scene is about uniting people not dividing them.

I'm going to have to be a little blunt here: opening your conversation here with personal attacks against other sceners, is not something we'll stand for at Demozoo. We try to be an open and inclusive community where people can have positive interactions without any prejudice or controversy. If you are looking to gather a following of people who support your grievances, then this community is perhaps not for you.

I'll close this thread, but hope that the thread starter and anyone else who holds ill will towards others will set them aside and refrain from personal attacks on this site.
