Site announcements and information discussion

To everyone who cares about CM’s future: I’ve been putting off changes and improvements for quite some time. My “real life” has kept me so busy that finding the necessary hours has become a challenge. However, there is another factor holding me back: The constant squabbles among members here are thankfully not widely known to most users and visitors, but they consume a significant amount of my time, energy, and drive. I need those resources if I am to justify spending both time and money on CM. I have decided to cut ties with a few members. @Mascara^Snake and @Billus. Billus because every time I attempted to get someone to act properly, I saw Billus smear all over CM… But they are not the only ones at fault. Not by any means. Let’s just say that they were right in the front line:) I happen to know that many of the so-called nobility here - our esteemed members - are bad-mouthing each other whenever they feel like it. It is really quite sad to watch. I have decided to address those who seem more focused on internal fighting - and turning CM into their personal battlefield. They are welcome to leave CM if they insist on maintaining that unworthy attitude. This place is supposed to be fun, helpful, open-minded, and honest. We should not double-cross each other here in CM, nor bad-mouth one another. If we dislike someone’s comments or beliefs, we face them directly and talk it through… No one will get kicked for being honest and gentle! This is the only path forward for me and CM, I’m afraid… P.S. For those of you who might miss Mascara^Snake, I would be happy to post her contact information. But I need her approval first.
