Hello Guys.
I have made a controversial interview with the controversial user "The Dark". I had wanted to do this earlier but as the fire was still lit, I didn't want to be the one playing in it. Please have an open mind when reading this, and try your best not to flame.

Hello The Dark, ready to get started?
Yeah, hit me.
So tell us what you like to do in your free time?
Well I have always been into all things computer related, but I do try to limit myself. Friday and Saturday nights are usually spent with friends; intoxicated or not. And Sunday is my lazy day where i'm usually in bed until gone mid-day
How and why did you end up joining Sythe.org?
I found Sythe by Googling Runescape cheats, I was only young ^.^ I leeched for a good couple of years before signing up on my first account in 2005/6 i think it would have been.
You recently had a little arguement/fight with Finniscool that led to your demotion, do you feel hard done by?
I'm not too sure. I was gutted that I got demoted and that caused me to become a bit of for lack of a batter phrase; cock. I can understand Finniscool standing up for what he believes and feels is right, but at the same time i felt enfuriated that someone i considered a close friend would turn and snap so easily. What i did was only intended as a joke, and i can see why Finniscool didn't see the funny side, but i think to be demoted over a little squabble was a little OTT.
After your demotion came the promotion of Unb4nn3d, do you think that Finn chose him for certain reasons?
Controvercial subject. I think Unb4nn3d's promotion was alot to do with Finniscool, but that's not an insult. I am slightly annoyed by Unb4nn3d's new attitude though. To many of you you may feel i'm bieng hypocritical, but since Unb4nn3d has had staff i feel sythe is the only thing he cares about. Me and him used to be really close friends as did me and Finniscool but he no longer seems to talk to me. Maybe he, like half the forum thinks i'm some sort of homophobe, which to clear it up i'm not. But what can i do ^.^
How did you feel about Finn making a thread in which he showed a poll of the staff choosing to demote you?
I felt that was irrelevant. My understanding was that all information in the Staff Lounge was to be kept in the staff lounge and don't appreciate things like that. I was annoyed that my demotion thread was made by Finniscool and i would have preffered someone with less bias. That was like the twist of the knife.
Do you feel you were backstabbed by certain members on Sythe.org?
Yes, i do. But i can't blame them, they got fed information without knowing the facts, most people would have done the same. This whole incident really does prove who your friends are.
In your opinion, did Finn take things way out of proportion?
IMHO, everyone did. I can't blame Finn for it all, as there's no smoke without fire. But at the same time I do feel others maybe took the situation a bit more seriously than it needed to be taken.
Do you feel he did this to justify his actions?
I don't know the reasons, but i felt more than for the purpose of justification it was more of an act of hatrid. Overall i feel that the whole situation took immaturity on both parts and i would preffer if people would get the idea of me bieng a mass homophobe out thier head. I can be nice if people get to know me
If you could change what you did, would you and why?
Yeah, considering I did it messing around with a user who wants nothing to do with me now i'm not staff. But i still stand by my original point that people do take sythe too seriously, there does need to be rules etc but sometimes people take them to the extremes
Do you ever want to become friends with Finn again?
God knows, i find it hard to see through how he has been recently but i know i must of liked him in the past. Maybe one day, let's see what the future holds.
Pen was chosen as your replacement, do you think he is suitable or would you have chosen someone else?
Pen picked me to become a HUE in the first place and was one of the main reasons the User Education section didn't die. Pen was the perfect choice for the job. In saying that I would have loved to give one of the team i managed and got to know a shot at it, they were all so enthusiastic and really do deserve more appreciation than they get.
What does it take to be a User Educator?
The key to bieng a good user education is determination. When I was HUE i like to feel i did as much as i could to drive the team forwards and it must not have been an easy ride. User Educators MUST know what they are talking about, representing such a delecate team means that you really do need to think before you post, or the spam forum members will have you! Ha, and also you must have the ability to learn. You can't teach if you can't learn.
If you were given the opportunity to become a moderator on Sythe.org again, would you take it?
Deffinately. My time as a Sythe.org staff was incredible and am truly gutted i got demoted. I loved the User Education section and pretty much everyone in the staff team was amazing.
Any last words?
Yeah, i would like to thank a few people, these are people who i have realized are genuinly good people and i feel they deserve some gratitude.
* Shredderbeam
*Analog
*Louis
And of course the whole of the UE team, as much as they may not have intended to, they have made me proud.
Thanks for your time
No problem, and also a special thankyou to Magic Arrow for doing these marvelous interviews. Good show!

I wanted to hear more than his opinion about his demotion...
