I do it for everything except custom work, and generally I only stay in contact with certain people and clients.That's a good idea. Wish I could do that to all XenForo work in general.

Sorry, I wasn't referring to Brogan. Brogan is actually an essential part of the XF team IMHO. His insight to help people was above reproach from what I had seen.Brogan never had a vBulletin forum.
Yeah... Brogan has been dealing with a lot of crap on here for the last month, it more likely has to do with the fact that he's gotten fed up with it, and didn't feel like dealing with it anymore when he gets nothing in return.
True. I think he should've just taken a leave of absence if it was bothering him. Nothing wrong with that. Matter-of-fact, Brogan was such a major figure on here with his ninja posts and helpful answers that it's still hard for me to accept. I still kinda don't believe it. Even his signature was helpful with all the valuable links in it lol.Sorry, I wasn't referring to Brogan. Brogan is actually an essential part of the XF team IMHO.

The problem though as we all know from running a forum, no exclusions to XF staff either, you are a target for all the bull**** and you really do need to put on your teflon coating before sticking on your mod / admin hat. I ignore / do not respond to more messages on my own sites than I actually reply, for that exact reason.
People see mod / admin and immediately think they can fix all their problems for them personally, when really on this type of site, the only PC staff should ever engage in is one that is of a private nature. If the topic is not absolutely essential to privacy, then support and forum means should be used.
Quite honestly, I would hate to be in Brogans shoes just guessing at the amount of messages he arrived with daily here, by people thinking he was their personal helper. Unfortunately for staff, they usually always look like the bad guy.
The problem that a few clicky people made a scene and left, is an exact issue in itself of those members IMHO who think they have a status upon a businesses website... to the point they choose to leave and they have to behave poorly prior to going and/or make a scene about it, being this thread.
It is impossible as a business to please everyone. Simple as that.
Oh okay Wow you took one for the team. Kind of drastic but it got the job done.I didn't really want to respond in this way but I feel I need to clear something up.
I didn't step down because of all the complaints, criticisms, insults and whatever else which has been thrown my way with increasing frequency and severity of late.
The kind of people on other sites who throw insults and accusations around without a single clue as to what the real situation is are nothing more than typical internet loud-mouths who are unworthy of my time.
I stepped down because I have been begging for months for additional moderators to be appointed and an announcement to be made, to let the customers know what is happening.
Unfortunately that has been falling on deaf ears for so long I was left with no other choice.
I knew my action would finally cause something to happen, so you could say I did it for the community.
Thanks for the comments and good wishes everyone.

Sometimes you need to create a void in order to get people to step up.I didn't really want to respond in this way but I feel I need to clear something up.
LOL Yeah you can tell I'm bored.Haha epic picture
Brogan should be forgiven for stepping down and re-modded due to all his great contributions to the community.Free Brogan !
