Hey, kudos, I wasn't expecting you to work it out for another few months yet, like the last time.
And I don't actually use Shenanigans, in fact I tried registering an account there yesterday and haven't heard back yet, but the chain of events is pretty easy to construct based on the personalities of those involved. I imagine Rose comes back after her long hiatus to an abandoned board and decides, for whatever reason, to try and start it back up again on her own, since you've moved on to somewhere else and she's not eager to follow you. She reads this board, sees your distaste for the names and some of the theme elements she had originally devised, and decides that if you aren't using them, she'd like them back to rejuvenate the EZboard.
And then the fun begins, because I can easily see Philharmonic throwing a fit when she decides to move back into the *abandoned* board. And its not hard at all to picture Phil escalating the situation with his usual suave and tact until we go from a mainly 'grumpy' Rose to a Rose who de-ops Phil and bans him from the board (heh, someone *did* get banned from Terre after all. Phil. You know, I was once under threat of ban from Phil because I failed to show him the respect he was due as an admin and kept disagreeing with him. Delicious irony.)
My question here is, what the hell do you care about the old board anyways? You've moved to a new board, you had already changed the name, why would you care what Rose does with the old board or the name you discarded? Seems like a bit of a non-issue thats been blown completely out of proportion really.
And as for comparisons to Exodus and SF, Dhari ignored her player base and had a 'I'm in charge, I know best' attitude while the SF person abused her admin powers for the benefit of herself and a small clique. Neither of those situations (authoritarian admin/favoritism) apply to Rose. She's not even on the same board! Grow up already.
Also, got to admit, this has been amusing. Thanks for the smiles.
Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls.
