A Formal Apology from Deacon

This is not in relation to the spam forum incident, entirely, but my decision to make it is based off of what has been occurring. I felt action must be taken to show Sythe we're not all bad people, and that some of us are mature enough to make public apologies for our actions. Many of you can just skip this as it doesn't apply to you, and reading it is pointless as most of you won't even know what the hell I'm talking about.

Basically, Clashfan sent me a PM the other day, shocked that I made a legit post that actually contributed, and I've been considering doing this since then. Anyways, to make a long story short, I wanted to say sorry to everyone who put up with my actions during the User Education issue, as well as with the bbcode exploit, and every other time I have so idiotically caused troubles for the forum.

I like to consider that I've matured a bit since those days, while maintaining the same since of humor. I hope that it can be moved past and old deeds forgiven. I have a bad reputation with a lot of you, and it is just, but I would like to do anything I can to make retribution. I'm working my ass off right now to try and become a contributing, positive member of the community, as Sythe spoke of, so I can show that I truly am regretful for my past actions.

Finn (Particularly the backstabbing. I was morally incorrect.), Matthew (For the User Education issues.), Sythe (For exploiting your website.), Sin666 (I know we love each other, but I still grieved you and you always stood up for me.), Steph (If you ever read this.. You most of all, probably.), and the many other people who I've made a negative impact on (I know there's a lot, but tracing every name of the people who dealt with me would be nigh impossible.), please forgive me. I will be dropping this issue after I post it, but I figured something public that shows my humility would be more suiting than simply sending private messages to people.

That is all.

I honestly believe it fits.

 

An interesting assessment. I'll take that as a compliment, .

 

Never seen you do anything bad... I mostly lurk the off topic secion, mostly SfA and Personal Support and Assistance, and I don't think I've ever seen a troll post from you. But this is very mature of you, you recognized and took responsibility for your actions, something most people here can't do. Best of luck to you.

 

You still owe me an apology for trying to frame me for hacking Cfrey's account.

 

I accept.

 

I do apologize for doubting you, and trying to handle the situation when it was none of my business.

Thank you, Finn.

 

This is very mature of you Deacon, and to make it public it shows courage. Good lad.

 

You're fine by me.

 

Thank you. Long overdue apology was long overdue.

 

Guide Leaker.

 

I respect you for making this thread, Deacon. I remember most of, if not all of the events that occured above in regards to you, but I'm glad to see that you're making the effort to overcome those obstacles, and apologize to all of those who were affected.

Truthfully, I've seen a great change in you as a person, and your humor has still been maintained. I believe you have matured in many ways, and it feels good that I helped bring back such a member to this community.

 

Everyone makes mistakes, but it takes a real men to admit it

 

Thanks.

Holy cow it's Steph! Good to see you .

Indeed.

PM what you're talking about please, I really have no clue :S. I've only ever leaked 1 guide, that was with permission from the creator, and it was leaked to a partner that never gave it to anyone else .

You've indeed helped me a lot Unb4nn3d. Many of my additional chances would have been denied without your assistance and I would not have been given the opportunity to grow up. Thanks .

Agreed, definitely .

A member that isn't to high and mighty to say they're sorry for something they've done. Even though I'm not at all connected to any of the circumstances, it obviously shows maturity for what you've done and being able to own up to it.
TBH, I think you're now one of two non staff/ex-staff that I respect on here..
