Ok, I have a few things to say. I remember the time where I was assisting Straitjacket with him running the site. I would have to consistently ask for situations to be handled on his end. I asked him to take down the troll that plagued the site for months which, coupled with the cp he left up on the site for literally days(sometimes 3 or more days, which we all collectively asked him to have removed) lead to the site's demise. The site was dead. Kayuga however, I have had steady contact with. I reached out to him immediately and insisted on things being handled correctly. He removed things, added features and revived the site and gave it a steady home. He even gave it a mascot from our very own artist and has aquired the old archives rich with content. I believe some of my old messages to you are still there. His team generally responds withing 10 minutes, if not immediate.

Personally (if this is the real StraitJacket), you can't fully complain that someone else took the weight of running Gurochan after you fumbled the ball and are now upset that you don't get to make some of the strategic decisions. Even if you don't like this person, had you not failed initially, they would not have Gurochan. I say this with love however, as you too had to operate where someone else failed and you too have genuine love for the site overall and its members. But, after you failed and admins dispersed, no one touched Gurochan for months (tbh I think over a full year) despite some of my best efforts. You had time then and you let it slip through your fingers. Your time passed. This new Gurochan is stable, doesnt lock people out, doesn't suffer power down times, doesn't suffer rampant cp being up for days (I've heard some attacks related to that are your doing which I hope isn't true), has old and new content and new creators. Much of the old artist vets left in droves primarily becuase you accidentally forced them to. They lost their primary upload source and some revenue/monetary income and moved to Pixiv, Tumblr (before the wipe), Gurobooru, Patreon, Reddit, Etc. They were lost because of you. Do you wage war with those site owners? Spam them with illegal content? Do you try to take down their websites?

I just don't understand as a older veteran why you would help try to take Gurochan down. Its counter productive. What is your end game? If Gurochan did go down, how would you fare? Would you pick it up. Would we have to deal with the headaches of people asking for illegal content, uploading illegal content and it staying up for days? Would we have to deal with certificate experations, which I personally had to come up with a method to circumvent and broadcast to the rest of Gurochan members? Gurochan being down several times a month with union backups being slow and somewhat shitty? I mean there were so many problems with Gurochan when you reigned that even people today are wiery of this one. Literally some individuals I talked to to bring them back explained how "it was only a matter of time before Gurochan went down again". I mean from the very first iteraction of Gurochan to current, you are one of 2 big scandals that lead to the death of the sites. The first apparently being "psychopaths".

I'm saying this not as a bashing, but as me asking you to let it go and just encourage people to use the site, get more people coming and enjoying the brand. No matter what happens, you will still lose in one way or another. It's borderline pathetic to try to spite the site because you no longer own it. It helps no one and makes the Guro community as a whole somewhat hate you and your presence. That isn't the Straitjacket I remember. Why not admit you fucked up and extend your hand to try to help us. Explain what you feel is going wrong and how to handle it. You'll catch more bee's with honey than vinegar. Help us instead of trying to hurt us. Earn some say so and respectability back, and actually start using your name when on the site aswell.
