Ric you hit the nail on the head with one word. Transparency. During my time as advisor, granted was a little less than a year, this was the biggest issue between those who were on the BOD and those who were Advisors and DL's.
Too often we had issues with the BOD making decisions for CS on our behalf without consulting us. This is also true for other divisions. In fact, we had a leadership meeting about one point about being more transparent between the division of powers ie BOD and Divisional leadership, that really did nothing if you ask me. They still want to make their own servers for CS, change boxes, etc. Oh and harp Christy for his code cause ya know they don't know what they would do without it.
No the real reason CS leadership all left at the same time other than real life issues was because they were tired of being shit on from the top. They could legitimately run the division themselves without the help of the BOD other than server payments, heaven knows the last time they supported our servers by hopping on for more than a few moments just to leave, especially when a new server started up even if it was their own making. Fact is the BOD is so out of touch with the CS division that they allowed and pissed leadership off enough to make them want to leave.
So you can all sit there and pat yourselves on the back and say you got the steam group back with a thumb up your ass, truth be told, you caused it. You forced enough leadership members and members themselves to leave. And for those of you playing the white knight, coming back after years of being away you make me sick lmfao. Where were you before, hiding because now that leadership is gone you feel more safe to show your face again lol, so welcome back!
I hope everyone understood that it was all a message to the BOD that is how I see it. I hope you understand that you can't treat your valued members like shit for years and get away with it and make decisions for them for something you havent meddled with in a long time.
Enjoy eGO
