As the only person who is familiar with what RW's thoughts and sentiments were at the time that this forum originated, I can quite emphatically claim that most, if not all of the assumptions, insinuations and allegations of her motive and intent stated above regarding this forum are quite wrong.



Without her technical support, this place would not have come into being. Without my creative flair, it would not have been called "The Blue Cashew" either.



RW's heart was in this place. Perhaps too much so. Her head, on the other hand, was dealing with other issues, and unfortunately she frequently confused disagreement with contempt, and thus replied in kind, sadly.



No-one regrets the events that took place in this forum when rage overcame reason more than I. In my OPINION, her conduct in her last days was less to do with the forum, and more to do with personal issues. That is not excusing her, but mitigating her actions to some degree. It is no secret that she had health issues that impacted significantly on her personal relationships with people in general, and some more specifically.



In it's early days, she loved this place and the people in it as much as anyone could. And I suspect, with no evidence, she still does and wishes things had turned out differently. Despite what we may think of her as a consequence of her behaviour and conduct towards the forum and it's members as time unfolded, we should recognise that she worked hard to bring it into existence.



She deserves credit for that.

Agreed, shame she didn't permanently take her tubby companion with her...

C'mon...you and I both know we LOVE using the blimp as a pinata. I love the squealing noises she makes.

While I am not one of the originals, this place was only about two months old when I joined. Shen Li posted a link to the old ACF on Topix and the rest is history.

Yay for 6 years!!!!!



Here's to many more  ac_drinks

Damnit, you mean to tell me you named this place after your balls!?

She deserves credit for that.

She deserves credit for almost ripping this place apart.



This place was in existence for two years before RW even registered as a poster In fact, evs kicked us off mmb because RW was using this place to wage war with evs. I do not blame evs at all for giving us the boot and I don't blame her for perma-banning RW.



As for RW "building" this place, I told Fash NOT to accept RW's offer to host ACC. I knew someone else who would do it and remain a silent partner like evs was. However, Fash believed her and almost immediately RW started turning this place into her own. I knew it wasn't going to end well and it didn't.

Whatever. Water under the bridge now.



I liked posting here when it was ACF/ACC, I liked it under during the RW era and I like this era. The discussions make this place. It's what keeps me here.



Losing a left of centre voice like RW makes this place less interesting. Just sayin.

I don't dispute what you're saying (although she was with the Cashew from the get go, I think. I don't know about ACC.)



I think everyone knows why it didn't end well.

I liked having Romero and Peaches around as well. I'm never comfortable with a one sided debate.

True, it's funny to see how badly she fares when being trolled without having her mod privileges to fall back on and use in retaliation.

I really miss Romero..



He was one of the very first members to join Shen Li's original ACF..



When I took over and renamed it ACC, he was a mod and a very good one..



I could tell after the switch, he started losing interest..



It was not a surprise when he left for good.
