When Devin was leading, most of what he did was make compromise, fix problems behind the curtains to make people happy. He gave people just enough to keep them active. He was corrupt but everyone got a piece of the cake. He was always actively communicating with the leaders of groups, knowing they're the key to the activity, and he made them happy. He had to cope with bullshit and bad attitude from "powerful" individuals for the better of the server, and he did. You all know results of that.
On the other hand, after they left, we've had very little compromise and muchmore "I don't take shit from anyone" attitude. Well guess what bitches, that's not how you lead a server, or at least not one that has people playing on it. I can tell you for fact, it was this attitude that drove a lot of people from playing here. And knowing you, khm, I don't expect to see an improvement. I'm sure all of you want the best for the server, but I'm afraid the ideas you have as to how to do it are completely off.
p.s. don't take advice from Bogomil, the guy isn't capable of leading a two man group, let alone a whole server
