Since we are dredging up the past, I will have to say my experiences on the old server that led to the creation of the new server, and why the new server is far from a "hate club" against said previous founder.

I know that being the founder of this Wikia I have quite a bit of responsibility. And with great responsibility comes power. I know I've not always done everything perfectly, especially as before CCSW I was never a leader. I know that in my active days, I may have upset some users. But that is inevitable - you can't please everyone.

However, when I got on the old Discord server, stripped of power, I found myself to be a certain user's cat toy.

I felt like this user was trying to get revenge - and as such I was targeted. I was given special roles, kept getting my nicknames changed to rude things, and even having the whole server's permissions changed so that I couldn't change my rude nicknames back. This was all done by the founder of the previous server.

These were annoying, but the real killer came when personal information about me that I made it clear didn't want to be revealed, got revealed. And then the permissions were changed so that I couldn't delete what had been revealed. That just felt like a move designed to make me squirm.

And it wasn't just me. Others were treated in this way also. Basically anyone who ever displeased the previous owner got similar treatment. It was clear that the person who had the power could not use it responsibly and he was being a big bully. This is why the server got rebooted.

I can see why some people believe this, but the new server is NOT a server founded on hate. It is NOT a hate club that excludes the old founder. The new server was created because the old one had quite frankly become quite a horrible place to be, especially if you were one of the previous owner's targets.

In actual fact, the previous owner WAS allowed in to the new server when it was first created. The plan was agreed amongst all the beta testers - we would let him in and give him a fresh chance. We would not hold any grudges, and we would treat him fairly, pretending as though he had done none of that hateful stuff on the first server.

Immediately, he started acting hateful again. We gave him one warning. We gave him two warnings. He continued cussing us out and breaking the rules, and so, as with any other user who reached three strikes, he was banned.

It just so happened he blew threw his strikes in three hours.

The undeniable fact which you seem to have forgotten, PC04, is that the previous founder continued doing his hateful acts on the new server as soon as it was created. We gave him every chance. We were hesitant to ban him. We even contemplated introducing him into the new server as a moderator. We didn't want to ban him, but we had to, because he had not learned a thing. He kept cussing us out and breaking the rules. We didn't turn on him as you have suggested. We really wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, and so we acted as though nothing had happened before.

He came on and immediately started his hateful comments, and so per protocol, he was banned. Yes naturally there was some distaste afterwards, but any bashing of him even after he was banned was frowned upon.

I can assure you that the Discord server is not founded on hate, and nobody even talks about this. Nobody even mentioned it for months or even YEARS until you decided to dredge it up now.

The stuff we talk about is Candy Crush and related games, fanons, the Wikia itself, bot games, civil politics discussions and stuff like this. We do not dwell on the past. Because the past is left where it should be - the past. And I suggest in future, you leave the past where it belongs.

Of course if there is something I don't know about, please fill me in. If there is some secret anti-Leo club, do please let me know so it can be shut down.

Thank you,

Lefty.

As for resurrecting the chat, I have to go neutral-to-oppose. I don't really see the point of resurrecting that chat other than for nostalgia's sakes.
