Two top dogs left the forums.

I'll be happy to see Seece when he gets back. And Machina should be back too.

If this post is something mods don't want bringing up then please just edit it for me to be blank, I won't mind at all. By this thread having been locked earlier I gather this is a reasonably sensitive subject.

After a little looking maybe this thread is the cause of it all?

Seems Source and Seece were having a disagreement. In one of the posts Seece says:
''This is ridiculous, you missed the part where I said you bent over for Miyamoto.

Or the homophobic and racist remarks (despite me not being black, which was weird)''
So seems things got quite serious if there were homophobic and racist remarks going on.

With source losing his job maybe coming from statements like
''Fallen from what? There is no joy in writing on the internet. I only agreed to it reluctantly because I wanted income year round when I was in college.'' and talking about posting other private discussions.

Seems there was definitely some bad blood between the two. Possibly Seece was antagonizing source which led to Source saving a private 6 month old conversation and then reposting it to humiliate seece.

Didn't know Seece left, I had some bad experiences with him before but everyone seemed to have taken a liking to him fairly recently.

Many staff members are leaving, maybe this could be a new start for VGC, we need more posters.

Mixed feelings on Seece leaving. He did run some good threads, but he was a bit of a jerk and definitely one of those stealth trolls that really undermine discourse on here.

A not-so-nice person who did good things, where does that leave him?

Machina and Seece's departures are not linked together. They both left for their own reasons.

So...I just read the threads with Source and Seece feuding...how the hell did I miss all that?!
Guess that's what I get for not caring about sales threads much.

CGI-Quality said: Didn't know Machina very well (although we talked on occasions), but I had a love / hate friendship with Seece! Let's just say as often as we didn't see eye-to-eye, the guy was a valuable asset to the site!

I think I was told a story about you two by one of the elders on here! You are Rivals, Oui?

While the guy was definitely abrasive, he was one of the best contributors in the forums. Hopefully Seece returns one day.
