Yea, I don't see it being a big deal of him having his own thread and stuff from the very beginning cuz he's good at keeping this board going amongst many others but a moderator was going too far. He's got away with many things and went too far this time. It's just unfair.


I agree - the Cage was a really good idea for a number of reasons and will certainly return in one form or another. And a lot of his threads were good - I thought "Ask Christina" was hilarious on many levels.

Unfortunately he lacks judgment and balance. When he gets bored and wants to stir things up he simply doesn't realize that "Ask Christina" is a lot better than the Chico or Lain threads. I think I sent him threats or reminders not to chase off talent every week and came very close twice to suspending his login for Tony to review; this after he was made mod.

The biggest problem though may be the time he takes. He is a very high-maintenance user; Tony probably spends more time on him than everyone else combined. XXXPT isn't exactly a profit center for Jeff and just takes time away from Tony's real job. The need for Tony to spend yet more time on Monkey business, on a weekend morning, may have been the final straw.

But we'll see how Tony wants to handle this.


To be honest I wouldn't mind seeing the Cage, and the Monkey, return. What I think needs to change is another mod needs to be added to the Cage, a way found for other mods to reduced the amount of time Tony spends on Monkey business, and an understanding by the Monkey that some discretion would be a really good idea. But the Rubicon may have been crossed already.

PS. Smartt might feel otherwise.
