*sigh* So I guess the honeymoon period is over? Shame.
As much as I hate to agree with Milkman; I agree with Milkman.
I think it's abundantly clear from the tone of his post, that his contribution - as valuable as it may have been - was as much about stroking his own ego as actually improving the site. If you care about a site and the guys running it, you don't spit your dummy in public and then attack the staff on the way out the door, just because you aren't getting the attention you crave.
The wiki has never been the main draw of this site and we all know it. The Wiki may be what ties it neatly into WM's structure, but first and foremost GB is a vehicle for Jeff and his posse. If they choose creating content over dealing with the minutiae of the Wiki, then I'm glad, that's absolutely the correct decision.
How could you turn your back to all of that serious business.
Man, that sucks. I do agree that the founders of this great site don't even seem to acknowledge our existence.
" Damn Endogene, I never knew you but I wish I did after reading this. It's not everday I can say I know a dude from the internets who is in the top 10 poster rank of both the "delete and combine" forum and the "editing and tools" forum; not to mention he has posted 3858 comments on the site, 232 of which were in the moderators hangout (placing him 3rd in the top posters list).How could you turn your back to all of that serious business. "You know, I thank that sums this whole thing up better than anything else.
You have a point... but does this mean your leaving Giantbomb for good? Or just abolishing your moderator position.
Because if you leave the site for good, I think that's taking it a wee bit far...
Anyways, Au Revoir.
Hit the road jack, and don't you look back no more, no more, no more, no more, hit the road jack and don't you look back no more!

" Why does it seem like all the mods are leaving? "Because we're too awesome for them.
" @Milkman said:I'm going to stack another agreement onto this." Wow, that's a lot of message in my inbox. I guess people really like this dude. Well, I'll just say one more thing:I kinda have to agree. Endogene has done some good stuff, but the way this blog was written is pretty... daft. "
@Rhaknar said:" the TC might even have a point, and his reasons may be valid, but that whole "my name is endogene" thing was honestly one of the most ridiculous things ive ever read, its hard to take him seriously when he does that "Pretty much this. I would no problem with this guy coming here and expressing his opinion but when he ends every three sentences with "My name is Endogene" and acts like he's some sort of Giant Bomb superhero, then this just gets stupid. I really have no interest in this dude and I doubt I would have even noticed that he's gone. Call me ungrateful but at the end of the day guys, it's a video game website....Obviously, this site is a lot more important to some other people than it is to me. I come here for the commentary of the guys who actually work here not for Endogene. "
I really don't know what to think after reading his post and all the comments that followed. I have always thought of Endogene as a cool dude who made some serious contributions to the site, and I feel that he may be taking it too far by leaving like this. Actually, he is. I don't agree with what he is doing, and there may be some problems on the site but, overall, this is a one of a kind website that has so many pros that outweigh the cons that leaving seems a bit dramatic. No matter what, however, I will miss you and we all will, even if some have had a different outlook on your personality and demeanor with this final post.
First BoG now Endo...it's sad to see some moderators go.
Oh, and thanks for Snide for replying on this thread, and, I know it is not a concern right now, but I nominate StarFoxA for Wiki Mod position if it is open ;)

" @Gunner said:This=LIFE." Sometimes i feel as if giantbomb is run by nothing but meme's and the endurance run... "/me begins to speak up to contradict.../me walks away. He's already lost the argument. "
What does the mighty Fr0Br0 have to say about this tragedy? He says it is a tragedy. As his voice booms down from the heavens and echo off the mountains. Past foreign lands and through foreign ears. May the world have to hear what a god has to say. And the god say it is a tragedy. Oh, and what a tragedy it is. May my worshipers take the side of the mighty Fr0Br0 and may they pray for the health of Wiki. When what he says is a tragedy that has covered the Giant Bomb forums. NAY! not just the forums, but the entire website. I will attempt to smite any abusers that dare attempt to molest the purest members of the site. For when those poor ones turn around, I will be there. And they will know thy name was Fr0Br0 as I strike down upon them from the heavens with a force even greater than lightening. AND THY WILL KNOW, HIS NAME WAS FR0BR0! And may he have pity on their poor souls as they travel through the burrows of damnation and through the fire and the pain of a thousand deaths. For no sorrow shall come across against those souls as it has for the mighty Endogene. From one god to another, may a thousand weeps fall across your grave.
K, I'll bite.
Quit crying, while you were a great contributor, it's not as if there is nobody to replace you.
Far too dramatic, had you cut it short maybe I would not have viewed is a giant bitching, and I might even have cared about what you were saying.
" @crunchUK: Really? There's more sarcastic posts in this thread with just as snarky of a tone as my post than I could count on a set of 10 hands. The guy who posted it was melodramatic and made himself look like a douche. Fact. Therefore people are replying with the appropriate and measured response. Seems to me someone wants Giantbomb to turn into a giant drama like all the other shitty game forums out there. Sorry that's not why I'm on Giantbomb and I'm sure most of the users here would say the same thing. "Fact: Your post got deleted, you reposted it like a twat, so go cry to a mod if you disagree
" @Commando said:I'd be willing to help. Up until the end of August, I should be available all day. Then past September, I'll be available every night." @MB:I accept major credit cards through PayPal. But seriously, wiki mod is a thankless position that only the most dedicated editors should even consider applying for. If we decide there is a need, that is. It's kind of a group decision, the wiki mods will really need to band together and decide if they need the extra help or not. "I'll do it! But I doubt I'll get it since I have so few points, but I'm pretty sure you know I won't abuse it."

after re-reading that wall of text, my opinion on this matter has changed and all I can think is " get the fuck over yourself endogene" yes you did some great things, yes GB is a great website, no it isn't perfect, GET OVER IT and enjoy it or don't. but don't make such a big deal about it
I'm going to lock this down now.
I think everyone has said what really needs to be said and it seems the discussion is taking a turn for the worse. If you want to say your goodbyes to Endogene then do so via his Wall or send him a PM. Let us not start bickering at each other because one person has decided to throw in the towel on his moderator duties and the site as a whole.
Locked.
