I'm going to ban the next person who does. Then you can have the distinction of being one of the last people banned from these forums.
Fact is, you disqualify yourselves from consideration with your own words.
Telling me "I'm willing to ENTERTAIN the idea...", "I don't have any money, but could you donate it?", "Sure I didn't put any effort into my hosted site, but...", "I don't really have time to be an administrator, but...", etc. etc. etc. AUTOMATICALLY tells me you're not really serious.
Don't go posting here how "my offer was turned down, how dare he!".
I'm not about to hand anything over of this import to people who by default have already shown me they're not up to the task.
And don't take it personally, either. Under the circumstances, I wouldn't wish this on you.
Seriously, I know what it takes. I know what it's worth.
I'm not the one who has to explain myself or convince anyone of anything.
I appreciate everyone's sentiments.
I really don't want to go through that shit again, I thought he was very rude. He had a good point (I wouldn't want PM's shared, either), but he was also very short and inconsiderate with the way he handled it. He was wrong, too, about exactly what I was posting - I was not whining that I was turned down, I was simply answering someone else's question. As far as an admin goes, though, he seems to have a lot of friends, so I guess he's really not that bad.
After that post, I stopped caring. The hostees are still welcome to come here, but they come on their own; other than the ones I've already asked, they can ask me for space, I won't ask them.
