Can you hear that? That's the sound of mah ROFLCOPTER SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI APRIL FOOL'S!111½½½§§§§§§etcetc.... Man, I haven't had this much fun on Basil since tomorrow. Love you all! Now all the people who hated me still hate me and all the people who didn't hate me now hate me. I'm so good at this :D Props to those who figured out the strange correlation with the date and the quitting phenomenae. Also, many thanks to those who got worried, I mean really, that's what keeps me going through the dark hours of my life. Not really, but in a bit milder way yes. TYVMkthx yo. panther101 if I had a million mesos I'd give them to you for being the first (and only) to notice the Prince of Bel-Air reference. Stalk me in Scania any time for 10 mesos, I'll be on from now 'till never. Oh I'm so gangster right now. Happy April 2nd everyone! PS: I told Mindstormer to reply like that. He's a cool guy, always. ------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr. Basil, I am writing this as an open letter because I feel that the community has equal rights to know what is going on inside of me right now. My heart is beating, my muscles are hurting and my veins are being clogged up with cholesterole, but those are not things I would write letters about. Emotions, those states of mind which drive man into creativity, boredom or insanity, are what keep me up at night. Roughly a month ago surprise hit me in the back of the head and said BasilMarket would be recruiting new moderators. The hit was hard. As I lay on the floor, unaware of anything that was not part of my brain's electric impulse system, I started asking questions. Questions I did not know the answer to. Neither did I know who would, so I asked them from anyone and noone, without a response. Why would we need new moderators? Are we not sufficient enough? What will happen to me, to Mindstormer, to the rest of us? Days and weeks passed, summer got closer and everyone was chilling out, relaxing, and shooting some B-Ball outside of the school. Everyone but me. I watched, quietly, as the new moderators were selected. A shiny and glamorous team full of stars such as EenRite and Suama emerged from the depths of the internet, the pages of the Basilmarket forums. Like the sun rises higher up into the sky each day so did the new moderators. What used to be countless of hours of browsing the forums and deleting offensive posts from every other thread had suddenly become a walk through a ruined city where every thug, criminal and drug dealer vanishes as soon as you see them. If you see them. You may have seen the Rugrats Movie, where Chuckie tells Tommy that when a new baby is born into a family the older child turns into a dog and is left outside in the rain, alone. When you purchase a new computer its predecessor has its information transferred to the immigrant and is then moved into the corner to collect dust. That is what happened to me, to Mindstormer, to Omar, Elu and Syko. We no longer feel appreciated, important and that our work is worth something. Instead despair and frustration drive us to the edge of depression. IRC users may be aware of the phrase "Basil makes me lose faith in the internet" which mostly describes my feelings. Having Basilmarket as my homepage, seeing full caps thread titles posted by xXxAzZNSinzzXXx asking how many girls wear pink shoes is not how I want to start off a session of surfing on the waves of data and information. Occasionally it takes hours to convince users that is not Sparta, this is madness. I cannot take this anymore. I hope that I do not offend you or anyone in the community with what I've decided, but either way I quit. Your's sincerely, Misacorp New Video: Best COD 4 montage ever!

Good job Misa. I always knew you were the mod with the fire in you. Enjoy your life now that you've left this hell.
EDIT:is this an April fools joke o.o anas said: "Cry me a river misacorp. You made it seem so dramatic. So what if more moderaters were 'hired'(if that's the right word to use), maybe it's because there was a lot of work to be done." you missed the point. i can understand his sentiments though. the line where he compared an old to a new computer summed this entire letter up nicely. he felt under appreciated and like he was being replaced. though, that may be far from what is actually going on, i can understand his reasoning. to whoever says that he is trying to get attention or w/e; he's a mod, he needs no further attention then that. this is just him trying to vent. have a heart dammit. New Video: wow... (watch in high quality)
I'm sorry you felt unappreciated Misacorp...I hope your life becomes happy. ^^
I don't see the problem here Misa...I mean, this is one of those thankless jobs, like offensive linemen in football. You do your job everyday and nobody says anything, but if you make a mistake, that's when people remember you, and yell at you, and cuss. If you're not really into being a mod, then that's fine. But I can imagine it's a tough job to do.
April Fools, yo.

You know, Misacorp, that, even though I completely understand your feelings towards the community, I do not and I repeat, NOT think new moderators were taken in because the ones we have now are not good enough.
No. The only reason why I feel new moderators have been added is because we had too little of them. We cannot expect you to spend hours a day on a forum that consists mainly of young children who use this site as a means to "trip" without anyone punching the in the face! Basil users are living all over the world; in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia.... Many countries with many timezones. And so now and then there are no moderators on when people from "rare" timezones are. You cannot help that. You are not flawed. The new mods were not included to replace you. I wish you good luck with the rest of your life and good health. Mir PS: If this really is an April Fool's joke, you got me. New Blog: HIV and homosexual healing
And the new age of basil begins...
New Blog: Lol, funny mod reaction
so, if you guys are leaving, can you link us the "secret mod forum?" =D
This is an April Fools joke, right? I donb't want Mind to leave =( his thread seemed like he was serious, and yes, his stickied threads dissapeared D= anas said: "Cry me a river misacorp. You made it seem so dramatic. So what if more moderaters were 'hired'(if that's the right word to use), maybe it's because there was a lot of work to be done." *cough* THE DATE *COUGH* New Blog: I feel... cute.. :(
All the mods are Quiting. I wonder what will become of basil :o
Did Elunirvelli quit yet? If so, can I see her thread?
meh never heard of yah
i for one dont blame any of the mods for quiting most basilers treat them like crap and give them no respect and blame them for unfair bannings when really you did do something wrong but dont want to admitt it.
Good Luck MisaCorp at what ever you do next
Well I've been contemplating quitting MS and with that, Basil Market..
I've been here since 2005 too (well, that's at least when i started playing MS) and i have seen a lot of Basil go down the drain.. I think a lot of it has to do with immature children who need to think before they post..but im no mind reader =/ A lot of the MS community in general has deteriorated as well. =/ Bye, have fun with what ever u decide to do next! New Pic: lame
I swear, if this is an April's Fools joke, I'll cut my wrists for the rest of my life
