This is the last post I intend on making in referance to my idea of reconstruction.

As a person who has avoided a high post count, and someone who was not here for the great revolutions and shitstorms, I am at a loss.

I will never understand what is so sacred about the 69 join date and the honor and glory that comes with 3 years of your life in posts. When did it become this amazing thing that you have been here since the begining?

Maybe I am the only one, but I dont give a shit who joined when or how long they have been here. I have said it before , and I will say it again: I have seen 69ers act like noobs and guys with 2 posts act like vets.

Others may have come here to be popular and meet the super-gods of MOH..... I did not. I stuck around because I met some really interesting people and wanted to have conversations with them. I enjoy the broad range of ideas and perspectives.

As far as my idea is concerned, I have explained it to fullest of my abillity, I have no itention of going into it further beyond these final comments.

I dont know if any of you have tryed to find out WHY we are attacked or not, but I have saught it out. I dont know if any of you have tryed to find a solution to the problem of badblood or not, but I have. I have been through tons of old posts on late nights to see how things were. I spent an enourmous amount of time looking at how things were handled in the past. I have talked with many of the "old timers" to try to discover this "It was better before" thing. All for the purpose of coming up with a solution that would be as universally good for everyone involved.
And you would be amazed how many times I have been told, from IRC, to MSN, to VC to here that "Its not worth it Zen, give it up"

The plan I layed out is the best I could come up with solve every problem that has been sent my way from the people here and there concerns, to the people who hate the place and why they do.

Now as far as cleaning the whole place out goes, I felt that a fresh start would be a good thing. You history buffs do know that you can only go back about a year before the posts disapear right? And more posts are disapearing with every new post made. I can understand having a desire to see what happened and reminising on old times, but this is a forum, not the fading familly photo album.
As Misc so wisely put it in a recent conversation" There is life outside of the forum".

But hey, look. If you guys dont care why should I? As if it were my responsibillity, I have invested far to much of my own effort and time to reach a resolve. So I am content to take the advice so many have given and leave the attacks and other problems to Zone, Buck and BS.

Im also gonna take MiscGuys (and others) advice and withdraw myself from any Mod election or eligabillity. I have no further desire to tackle the High School politics of AA, I would rather spend the time with my children.

Now dont get me wrong, I am not angry or upset in any way. I wish all the best and will continue to not only post, but offer ideas and encouragement to create a better community within AA.
