Here's a summary:
A vote was held and it was found the majority of the current devs/admins felt scenestar unable to work in a team. He was fired from running RTB. Henke37 has taken his place.
Here's the IRC convo

Quote

<Sid> ok, Silent-Shadow, you want to start us off?
<Silent-Shadow> not really sure where :(
<Silent-Shadow> um
<Silent-Shadow> basically, i feel that it's time to see if we should keep scenestar or not
<Henke37> restating what the meeting is about is a good start
<html> sok
<Silent-Shadow> it's about scenestar being involved in HTS and RTB
<Silent-Shadow> arg, can someone link the forum post?
<Henke37> I will
<Silent-Shadow> thanks
<Sid> http://www.criticals...showtopic=19617
<Sid> and his second thread: http://www.criticals...showtopic=19634
<Silent-Shadow> ...ugh
<Silent-Shadow> i haven't read the second one
<Henke37> http://www.criticals...showtopic=19634
<Sid> it's pretty much a clone
<Silent-Shadow> yeah, k
<Silent-Shadow> Henke37: in his noted repost of my post, he says
<Silent-Shadow> ""
<Silent-Shadow> err
<Silent-Shadow> "In comparison he did very little compared to the other unreleased work."
<Silent-Shadow> that's why i was wondering what all has actually been done, since you're actually involved
<Henke37> well, he have not told me about anything unreleased
<Silent-Shadow> and you've apparently done little compared to him?
<Henke37> he have provided hosting once in a while and some sort of html layout
<Henke37> and overal guiedence
<Silent-Shadow> alright
<Silent-Shadow> another part of his repost
<Silent-Shadow> The server was broken after backdoored by wells, didn.t resolve and you didn.t fucking lift a finger to either help fix the dns.
<Silent-Shadow> the rm -rf /* was still in my copy paste buffer for another shell on a virtual machine. If you fucking force me to use different servers it becomes a bitch to keep track of all those open terminal windows.
<Henke37> me thinks scenestart should get to comment
<Silent-Shadow> he will
<Henke37> now
<Silent-Shadow> if he joins now, this is going to get chaotic
<Silent-Shadow> Wells backdoored the rtb jail sshd
<Silent-Shadow> then it broke
<Silent-Shadow> so i cleaned it, rebuilt it, and got it back up in less than 5 minutes
--> scenestar (I.KILLED@Over6MillionNoobsDuringTheLollercaustAndAllIGotWasThis.Vhost) has joined #adminmeeting
<scenestar> ops plz
--- Silent-Shadow gives channel operator status to scenestar
<Henke37> we are reading the forum topic you two posted in
<Silent-Shadow> as for dns, it was working just fine, but his ISP's dns hadn't updated, and somehow i guess that's my fault
<html> a question, when did wells backdoor the sshd?
<Silent-Shadow> two days before jeremy went into jail
<Silent-Shadow> he gave Wells his email pass
<scenestar> if i am admin for a project i should be the one with full dns access
<Silent-Shadow> an email in there for wahtever reason had the root pass to rtb
<scenestar> and i should be the first one to see if it resolves or not
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar, ok, set your dns to 12.169.160.151 and 152
<scenestar> and with people backdooring my sshd i do not trust your servers
<scenestar> and i am not using your dns for privacy reasons
<Henke37> privacy?
<Silent-Shadow> huh?
<scenestar> well both that
<scenestar> and the fact that i manage more domains than just rtb
<scenestar> i host alot more domains on another dns
<Silent-Shadow> ok?
<scenestar> so it just doesn't make sense from any logical perspective to use those
<Silent-Shadow> DNS, when changed, can take 48 horus to propogate
<Silent-Shadow> and you got pissed when it didn't happen in 2 minutes
<Henke37> you could have added a NS record that pointed to your dns
<Silent-Shadow> Henke37: who?
<Henke37> scenestar,
<Silent-Shadow> he does for his domains
<scenestar> if i recall i am not allowed to do so
<Silent-Shadow> your server and domains are for projects unrelated ot hackthissite
<scenestar> yet just as important as hackthissite
<Silent-Shadow> you had no right to publicly and officially change the name of rootthisbox to .net without talking to anyone about it, let alone telling anyone about it
<Silent-Shadow> same with moving the site to a different server
<Silent-Shadow> i'm the sysadmin, and when stuff starts happening without me knowing, i get worried
<scenestar> it would be totally transparent to the users
<scenestar> they wouldnt notice anything
<Silent-Shadow> yeah, except then the site went down on your box
<scenestar> and i told you several times, but you refused
<Silent-Shadow> it was working on the jail
<Silent-Shadow> there was no reason to even move it in the first place
<scenestar> downtime is acceptable in something under development
<Silent-Shadow> yet you did it without telliing anyone
<Silent-Shadow> it's been in "pre alpha" for 3 months
<Silent-Shadow> even v4 is farther than "pre alpha"
<scenestar> yeah so
<Silent-Shadow> and why is it taking so long?
<html> 3monts plus the 6 months before ^^
<Henke37> well, it is partly done and partly not done at all
<scenestar> 1: It takes time to do things right
<scenestar> 2: I want to use my own servers because i simply prefer debian
<Henke37> why it is taking so long? I got a life + it is distracting with changeing server like twice a week
<scenestar> yeah
<scenestar> that too
<html> as far as I know scenestar, you had root in the jail, so had everything you needed to set the jail up and to run the project
<scenestar> html
<scenestar> wrong
<html> how so?
<Silent-Shadow> so you had to change everything on a whim wihtout telling anyone because you just don't like the OS?
<scenestar> i cant even ping or nmap localhost to check if a port is open
<Silent-Shadow> it was already working
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar: that's because you broke the jail
<scenestar> Silent-Shadow i cant even use nmap
<Silent-Shadow> you were in the wrong jail
<Silent-Shadow> you can, actually
<scenestar> even now that it is fixed i cannot
<Silent-Shadow> and it works fine, as i tested
<scenestar> last night nmap did not work
<scenestar> nor did ping
<Silent-Shadow> try it from a different computer
<Silent-Shadow> you can ping out
<Henke37> I can't even run who is the ssh account I last got
<Silent-Shadow> i also have the kernel security level higher to prevent kernel escalations
<scenestar> so do I
<Silent-Shadow> that DOES block some things that are NOT required to build a functioning website and scanner
<scenestar> who says that they are not required
<Henke37> I do
<scenestar> If i want to check nmap to see if mail is working
<scenestar> for validation
<Silent-Shadow> then netstat -an
<scenestar> what is wrong with that?
<Silent-Shadow> or sockstat
<scenestar> i prefer nmap
<Silent-Shadow> ok
<Silent-Shadow> then why do it from localhost
<Silent-Shadow> maybe it's only listening to localhost
<scenestar> because i dont have to open another terminal
<Henke37> screen
<Henke37> + lazyness is a bad excuse
<scenestar> screen only works on 1 host
<Silent-Shadow> if you're going to test for external ports, don't scan from localhost
<scenestar> well anyways, why are admins not allowed to run their own projects as they see fit
<scenestar> Why does everything have to be hosted on the hts server
<scenestar> give me one good valid reason
<Henke37> so that it all can be easily wiped?
<Henke37> wait, that is a bad reason
<Silent-Shadow> Henke37: that wou'dnlt happen
<Silent-Shadow> it's a seperate jail
<scenestar> Silent-Shadow
<scenestar> still
<scenestar> why
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar: because even though you're "running" the project, it's not yours
<scenestar> so right
<Silent-Shadow> and your "decisions" are ones that SHOULD be made by the group
<Silent-Shadow> not just you
<scenestar> the code that Henke37
<scenestar> wrote
<scenestar> isnt his
<Henke37> actualy it is
<Silent-Shadow> which code?
<scenestar> it belongs to *hts*
<Silent-Shadow> ...he still wrote it
<scenestar> the php Henke37 wrote
<Silent-Shadow> what have you done?
<scenestar> well what did Henke37 do
<Henke37> I never signed or said anything that gave away the copyright to the php code
<Silent-Shadow> he wrote the php
<scenestar> he put, time and effort into Henke37
<scenestar> same here, i put time and effort into it too
<html> well from my side of view scenestar did a lot
<html> not coding, not admin work, but trouble
<scenestar> hum?
<scenestar> you mean i've dealt with trouble
<html> if you want to contribute to the hts team, you have to accept team rules
<scenestar> uhuh
<html> otherwise you have to run your own separate things
<Silent-Shadow> you can't work in a team
<scenestar> if i want to have a meeting in here
<scenestar> you just left for 2 weeks
<Silent-Shadow> you always want to have more power, more access
<scenestar> Silent-Shadow got snowed in
<Silent-Shadow> 4 days
<scenestar> you people are useless as a team
<Silent-Shadow> ...
<scenestar> you arent around
<scenestar> or dont respond
<Silent-Shadow> everyone else seems to be doing fine except you
<scenestar> Henke37 i can rely on
<scenestar> Sid too
<Silent-Shadow> the way i've seen you treat henke in #rootthisbox scares me
<Silent-Shadow> i wonder why he even wants to work with you
<scenestar> Henke37 what is your opinion on this
<Silent-Shadow> i've never seen someone so condescending as you
<scenestar> Silent-Shadow : i give him all the freedom to do as he sees fit
<Henke37> I work with the one that gives the best offer
<scenestar> i dont enforce rules like USE THIS SERVER NOW
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar, so then in his freedom, he could remove all his code, right?
<scenestar> I listen to him and take his word for it
<scenestar> very well he could
<Henke37> actualy you and ss is the only who have said what server to use
<Henke37> I sure can
<Silent-Shadow> good to know
<scenestar> That is one of the reasons why i try to not let it come to that point
<scenestar> and keep him happy
<Silent-Shadow> you fired him the other day
<Silent-Shadow> what was that for again?
<Henke37> licensing issues
<scenestar> I apologised on that later
<Silent-Shadow> ok
<Henke37> I did not wan't gpl since it gave to much rights
<Silent-Shadow> so explain to me why you were trying to change the domain 'officially' wihtout telling anyone
<Silent-Shadow> or the server
<html> scenestar, do you still want to contribute to hts or hts related projects ?
<scenestar> html i sure do
<Silent-Shadow> or how you could "accidently" rm -rf /* a server, by being in the wrong terminal
<html> when are you going to accept team decisions ?
<scenestar> html as soon as they are made
<Silent-Shadow> or taking that layout and putting it on rtb to show it's still "active" and claiming it as your own code
<scenestar> you have not been around for days
<Henke37> one issue at a time
<Silent-Shadow> even henke thought it was your own code
<html> indeed I have been ill
<Silent-Shadow> and once someone found out, you editted the code just a little bit
<scenestar> Silent-Shadow
<Silent-Shadow> or what about the IE popup thing basically demanding people that use IE to use firefox, which gets YOU more money
<scenestar> The "stolen template" was taken from openwebdesign.org, a site that I upload my own templates to as well.
<scenestar> I put it up in order to show more than stale black and white html pages. I was working on an original one Until i all of a sudden had to drop all work to deal with silent bullshit move requests
<Silent-Shadow> i don't care that you took a template
<Silent-Shadow> even from a site like that
<scenestar> As a hacker I feel it is my duty to have users switch to a better, more secure browser, this is popup was just one of the ways.
<scenestar> the popup was broken, and i admit that, it was however something that I didn’t even have a chance to look at and fix. If you paid any attention You would have known that
<scenestar> I put it up in order to show more than stale black and white html pages. I was working on an original one Until i all of a sudden had to drop all work to deal with silent bullshit move requests
<scenestar> ^^my reply to the template
<Silent-Shadow> i don't care that you took a template
<Silent-Shadow> even from a site like that
<Silent-Shadow> but you claimed it as _yours_
<Silent-Shadow> and it wasn't yours
<scenestar> sigh
<scenestar> Silent-Shadow
<Silent-Shadow> i'm at work and have a couple things i'm doing, sorry if i'm delayed
<html> from my side of view scenestar has never accepted team rules yet. he had root for rtb for roughly 9 months and we all know how far the project has come and who did what part of the work which is done so far. when I come on irc I always see scenestar saying "meh, I am bored". I must clearly say, from my side of view scenestar should run his own projects apart from hts.
<Silent-Shadow> and he is nearly impossible to work with
<Silent-Shadow> when i 'came onboard'
<Silent-Shadow> he kept demanding full privs to rtb
<Silent-Shadow> at the time it was outthere
<scenestar> Silent-Shadow
<Silent-Shadow> and finally html and i said whatever, go for it
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:17:41 <Wells> scenestar, what don't you like
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:17:41 <Slothearn> Eh...
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:17:46 <scenestar> blegh
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:17:46 <Synchronium> mad lulz right there
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:17:48 <scenestar> too dark
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:17:49 <Synchronium> When it happens to Slothearn
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:17:50 <Slothearn> I'm a lot more chill than you think, Marco.
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:17:53 <scenestar> plus its basicly a quick hack
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:17:58 <Slothearn> Shit like that doesn't really piss me off.
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:18:04 <scenestar> of a OSWD.org template
<scenestar> owned
<scenestar> i got you
<scenestar> i never claimed it was mine
<Wells> fuck the template, it's not important
<Silent-Shadow> and the first thing that he did was demand admin on the forums as well, threateing to remove cs.net from hts.org
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:16:20 <scenestar> blegh
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:16:26 <scenestar> i dont like the current rootthisbox site
<scenestar> Dec 11 00:16:29 * scenestar does a redo
<Henke37> posting a log never proofs that you did not say it someother time
<Wells> what Henke37 said
<nyko> If scenestar is removed, who is left to develop rtb?
<scenestar> right
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar: you posted on the forums where both henke and you claimed it was your layout
<scenestar> show that
<scenestar> you have to prove that
<Henke37> agreed, prove it
<Silent-Shadow> http://www.criticals...?...8584&st=40#
<Silent-Shadow> from henke...
<Silent-Shadow> Scenestar is our webdesigner, he did the stylesheet.
<Silent-Shadow> To be honest I absolutely hate it.
<Silent-Shadow> It's a quick and dirty throw together of various templates and stuff I had lying around, plus It's a complete bitch to maintain. Every time i add or remove and image/element it completely breaks.
<Silent-Shadow> that's from you ^^
<Silent-Shadow> the

<scenestar> It's a quick and dirty throw together of various templates and stuff I had lying around,
<scenestar> note the last part
<Wells> let's drop this issue
<scenestar> I HAD LYING AROUND
<Wells> we are just playing word games
<scenestar> Wells Silent-Shadow considers this a major issue
<scenestar> i want this resolved
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar: no i don't
<Wells> everything can be interpreted differently
<Silent-Shadow> you're the one trying to prove this one specifically
<Silent-Shadow> you're impossible to work with
<Silent-Shadow> you make major decisions on your own
<Silent-Shadow> even i haven't done that
<Silent-Shadow> you public slander people
<Silent-Shadow> you can't get along with the team
<scenestar> so uhm
<scenestar> the truth is not slander
<scenestar> it's just biased against you
<Silent-Shadow> you're saying that i'm holding rootthisbox hostage, and that i've gone crazy?
<scenestar> hush
<Silent-Shadow> and yet you do these decisions
<Silent-Shadow> major decisions
<Silent-Shadow> rtb is a website, with a scanner
<Silent-Shadow> and perhaps a setup that does the dns like you were saying
<Silent-Shadow> i like that
<Silent-Shadow> and with our current set up, with that "telnet" thing you don't like
<Silent-Shadow> that would be EASY to add another subdomain
<Silent-Shadow> could script it in php
<scenestar> <Silent-Shadow> if i see .net ANYWHERE on that site, you're removed
<scenestar> <Silent-Shadow> i'm fucking sick of it
<scenestar> <scenestar> Silent-Shadow
<scenestar> <Silent-Shadow> i don't give a shit what you've done for .net
<scenestar> yes
<scenestar> you have gone crazy
<scenestar> bat shit insane to be honest
<Silent-Shadow> dude, that's because you're trying to make it .net
<Silent-Shadow> and you didn't fucking listen
<Silent-Shadow> and i hear about .net again
<Silent-Shadow> so i say no
<Wells> rtb has always been .org, it matches with hackthissite
<Wells> no reason to change it
<Wells> i don't even know why that was registered
<scenestar> hah
<scenestar> i was planning to reg it
<scenestar> and one day before i did
<scenestar> silent reregged .org
<Silent-Shadow> and you say i'm slow at updating dns?
<Henke37> fact: rtb.net is legaly owned by scenestar
<scenestar> plus, hackthissite.net has ads on it
<Wells> who cares about rtb.net
<Silent-Shadow> hts.net isn't us
<scenestar> so i just plain regged it anyways
<scenestar> so that *wouldnt* happen again
<Henke37> net or org? we got cs.net
<Silent-Shadow> but we never had cs.org
<Wells> i don't even like cs.net as a domain
<Silent-Shadow> there is no reason to change something that has been the same for 2+ years
<Wells> why not forums.hackthissite.org
<Wells> heh
<html> off topic
<Wells> yeah ok
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar, you've had access and ability to get everything up and running
<Silent-Shadow> and instead you've changed things without getting others in the team involved or even let them know
<html> yep, for 9 months
<Silent-Shadow> and caused more problems than anyone i can remember
<Silent-Shadow> RTB isn't that complicated, and it's definitely not supposed to be a profitable thing
<Silent-Shadow> which is exactly what you're trying to make it
<Silent-Shadow> you said that iceshaman stole all the money from buz, and you even said you called buz to confirm that
<scenestar> wait wait wait
<scenestar> 1 thing at a time plz
<Silent-Shadow> i talked to buz, and he called you a liar, and has then since sent the money to my paypal
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar: no, it's over
<scenestar> what
<Silent-Shadow> you're done
<scenestar> rtb was supposed to become bigger
<Silent-Shadow> you've got your server, and your domain
<scenestar> and better
<scenestar> more vms
<scenestar> more challenges
<scenestar> and better learning, because obviously previous games were too hard
<scenestar> so getting that all figured out took me an assload of time
<Silent-Shadow> so where is it?
<Henke37> the users where idiots too
<scenestar> all written down in txt files
<html> alright scenestar, good luck for your .net project.
<Silent-Shadow> my point is you are clearly in no condition to be doing this, with the way you handle yourself privately and publicly
<Wells> where are these text files
<scenestar> Silent-Shadow, how much longer till people get sick of you?
<Silent-Shadow> hopefully never
<scenestar> uhuh
<scenestar> i remember otherwise
<Silent-Shadow> because i promised Jeremy I would keep it all running smoothily til he got back
<scenestar> well you never made me admin
<scenestar> jeremy did
<Silent-Shadow> maybe 'back in the day'
<Silent-Shadow> but when i started hosting hts, outthere was running rtb
<Henke37> I think it would be apropiate now to mention that scenestar is not the only ne who have acted without asking people
<Henke37> Silent-Shadow asked me in pm about backups
<Silent-Shadow> Henke37: go for it
<scenestar> yeah
<scenestar> there's a double standard here
<Silent-Shadow> yeah, because i'd rather not have your code, Henke37, to go to waste
<Silent-Shadow> double standard my ass
<scenestar> if the forums can host themselves
<scenestar> why cant I?
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar: they're moving back to the same box
<Silent-Shadow> Sid's already agreed
<Henke37> of cource not to waste it, but seriously, now is not the time to bother
<scenestar> Sid nyko
<scenestar> confirm it
<Sid> moving to Silent-Shadow's box, yes, if he insists
<html> scenestar, you were admin, you had root and you became the official leader of the rtb project. the problem is, you didnt get it done
<scenestar> Henke37 can you tell me about who else acted without discussing
<Sid> no reason not to
<Henke37> scenestar, you are asking for confirmation about the ircd hoster. He can spoof messages you know
<nyko> Yeah
<Silent-Shadow> Henke37: i can't spoof messages
<scenestar> yes you can
<Silent-Shadow> that was sendraw, and it was removed over 2 months ago
<Silent-Shadow> don't call me a liar
<scenestar> you are calling me one
<Silent-Shadow> i already showed flatline and jeremy with shell to the box
<scenestar> so if i call you one
<scenestar> its bad?
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar: you are one
<scenestar> dont call me a liar
<Silent-Shadow> and you haev no proof that i'm lying
<Sid> I could always confirm it over MSN if scenestar doubts the ircd
<Silent-Shadow> and i have proof that you are
<scenestar> Silent-Shadow i can debunk all proof
<Silent-Shadow> iok
<Silent-Shadow> ok*
<Silent-Shadow> ask flatline
<Silent-Shadow> he's the one that has the proof
<nyko> Will you not work on rtb under silents server?
<Henke37> I am amased we still ain't namecalling
<html> it is more important to scenestar to say "blegh, I am bored" on irc, to ask for the apache logs in order to analyze the referers, to remove articles he doesnt like than working on rtb

Part 2:

Quote

<scenestar> Henke37 im trying to get this all sorted out
<scenestar> html isnt that part of keeping hts running smooth
<html> you make me laugh
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar, your motivation is power and oddly enough money in a non-proit place (.org means non-profit)
<scenestar> and it wasnt about removing those i didnt like, it was removing articles on how to flame on forums
<Silent-Shadow> yeah, removing an article on getting SSL on mirc
<Silent-Shadow> that's flaming on forums?
<Silent-Shadow> oddly enough, that's about security
<scenestar> uhuh, i can post the man page for pgp
<Henke37> Silent-Shadow, why did hts run ads if .org is no profit then?
<Silent-Shadow> um
<scenestar> or the windows xp manual on how to enable the firewall
<Silent-Shadow> Henke37: i don't know
<Silent-Shadow> they aren't MINE
<scenestar> Silent-Shadow exactly
<nyko> Henke37 obviously to keep the server running
<scenestar> you do run those adds
<nyko> noone is making profit from hts
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar: i do?
<scenestar> and im not making a profit either
<Silent-Shadow> i don't make _any_ money from there
<nyko> attempting to pay for itself is non-profit Henke37
<Henke37> you promised me a share
<html> making profit is not bad, but first priority is to get the site working
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar: you put the ie destroyer on there specifically to annoy the shit out of people into making you a buck
<scenestar> yeah
<Silent-Shadow> that's really low
<scenestar> well
<scenestar> let me finish
<Wells> any money that hts makes should go back into the server/hosting
<nyko> yeah
<scenestar> <scenestar> As a hacker I feel it is my duty to have users switch to a better, more secure browser, this is popup was just one of the ways.
<scenestar> <scenestar> the popup was broken, and i admit that, it was however something that I didn’t even have a chance to look at and fix. If you paid any attention You would have known that
<html> indeed wells
<Silent-Shadow> my paypal is set up on autopay to the servers
<Silent-Shadow> and nothing else
<Wells> scenestar
<Wells> choice
<scenestar> yes
<nyko> these costs put us into the red, with adverts it can provide a stable income to ensure we have a server
<Wells> users can use what browser they like
<scenestar> yeah
<Wells> there is enough firefox advertising out there
<Henke37> Silent-Shadow, what about proper tools to the devs too?
<scenestar> nyko i agree
<scenestar> we are losing money
<Silent-Shadow> Henke37: like ?
<Wells> users don't want someone intruding on their browsing
<Henke37> zend studio?
<Silent-Shadow> no one came to me asking about 'proper tools'?
<scenestar> i cant afford a license for zen studio henke wants
<Silent-Shadow> how much
<scenestar> and If i put up one single add i can
<scenestar> big deal
<scenestar> that popup was broken, but i didnt even get time test it
<html> get eclipse then for developing
<Wells> money for dev tools, we've never needed it before
<scenestar> well if my dev wants zend studio
<scenestar> i can give it
<Silent-Shadow> and it's always been a team
<scenestar> if i had it
<scenestar> :(
<Silent-Shadow> and scenestar doens't work with a team
<Wells> if you want dev tools pay for it yourself, otherwise you're essentially getting a free bit of software for yourself
<scenestar> Wells , no im not
<scenestar> im getting it for one of the devs
<Henke37> hmm, zend studio pro costs 299 dollars
<scenestar> who works on the site
<scenestar> and therefore for the community
<scenestar> even if Henke37 got free software
<scenestar> he deserves it
<Wells> well you should buy a license for each developer then
<Wells> i want a copy
<Wells> :P
<Silent-Shadow> i totally agree that Henke37 deserves it
<Silent-Shadow> and quite a bit more
<scenestar> yeah well that is what the money was for
<Henke37> wells, exactly
<Silent-Shadow> i'm impressed with how Henke37 handles this all
<html> good point wells, I want zent too
<html> zend*
<Henke37> zend.com for details
<scenestar> its server side so licenses should be for all
<Wells> so who is getting money for ads right now
<scenestar> noone
<Henke37> scenestar, it is both devloper and server side
<scenestar> its locked in google untill i have a minimum payout
<Wells> i mean hts
<Henke37> wells, Silent-Shadow's paypal and scenestar
<Silent-Shadow> Henke37: no
<Silent-Shadow> i don't get any money except for forum premium members
<Silent-Shadow> the ads on hts.org are from iceshaman
<scenestar> http://www.zend.com/...ssional_edition
<Wells> what do premium members get? lol
<nyko> does ice still receive the money?
<Silent-Shadow> and after the amount of money he put into it, i'm reasonably ok with it
<Silent-Shadow> nyko, yes
<scenestar> yeah
<scenestar> he does
<nyko> forum account benefits Wells, change your name etc
<scenestar> so hts is used to make money
<Henke37> Wells, there is a topic in the forum, do your own research
<Wells> remember he hosted the site for a long time
<Sid> Wells: various features on the forum
<nyko> wtf, is ice going to hand over the money?
<Silent-Shadow> nyko
<Silent-Shadow> he's just getting back what he put in
<nyko> ah
<Silent-Shadow> he won't give any money
<Wells> nyko, he payed for the site for a loong time
<nyko> fair does
<scenestar> where did he get that cash anyways
<Silent-Shadow> buz is going to be sending me the money soon
<nyko> he wouldn't say
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar, that's a good question :P
<Wells> scenestar, i think he must be rich or something
<scenestar> yeah well
<scenestar> that just puzzles me
<Silent-Shadow> cambridge, so emeh
<nyko> he said if money got low, he'd pull something to bring in a lot of cash
<scenestar> he said he got it
<Wells> i always said he was a millionaire or something
<nyko> but wouldn't tell what it was that he did, because people would steal his idea
<scenestar> something isnt right
<nyko> or something along the lines of that
<Silent-Shadow> this isn't about iceshaman
<scenestar> i can imagine that hts is quire profitable for him
<Silent-Shadow> back on topic
<Silent-Shadow> scenestar: about $120 a month
<scenestar> he makes 120 a month?
<Silent-Shadow> he gets from those ads at the top of hts.org
<Silent-Shadow> i spend about $240
<Silent-Shadow> and make about $20
<Silent-Shadow> MAYBE
<scenestar> you do realise that i pay 39 a month on a host
<Silent-Shadow> yeah
<scenestar> and you 240
<scenestar> makes no sense
<Silent-Shadow> 2 servers
<Henke37> I pay 0 dollar a month
<Silent-Shadow> multiple ips
<scenestar> wait, so we are giving away community money to someone
<Silent-Shadow> that gave way more before?
<scenestar> money that is NEEDED
<Silent-Shadow> yep
<scenestar> and i get ostracised for trying to get 1 dollar a month to donate to the site?
<scenestar> so 1 person gets a fuckload of cash and hoggs it to himself
<scenestar> and i get minimal money to give away
<scenestar> and i am the bad guy?
<Silent-Shadow> hmm
<Henke37> scenestar, he gave moeny to hts
<Silent-Shadow> ice gave WAY more than you ever have to HTS
<scenestar> Silent-Shadow
<scenestar> i wouldnt say that
<scenestar> he made a fair amount of cash in advertising
<scenestar> and keeps it
<scenestar> i give away all
<Silent-Shadow> he gave way more away
<scenestar> if i had it i would give it
<nyko> Its not about the money, this is far offtopic
<html> wht ice did might be right or wrong, but it has nothing to do with the way you managed yourself and with a team
<Silent-Shadow> "Officially" changing the name of a 2 year old site, without telling anyone.
<Silent-Shadow> Erasing the server once in the past, erasing the jail for RTB recently.
<Silent-Shadow> Constantly causing issues internally and externally to the administration
<Silent-Shadow> Demanding, on multiple occassions, more power and access to unrelated resources to RTB
<Silent-Shadow> The IE popup thing for firefox for profit on the 'new' RTB domain
<Silent-Shadow> Moving servers without telling anyone
<Silent-Shadow> threatening forum admins to removing the cs.net link from hts.org
<Silent-Shadow> the list goes on...
<Silent-Shadow> to end this, scenestar can not work with a team, unless he is the sole admin, and anything he wants, he gets
<Silent-Shadow> this is not the case with this administration
<html> I fully agree ^^
<Silent-Shadow> he can't manage himself publicly or privately
<Silent-Shadow> and in 9 months...
<Silent-Shadow> we have a partially working website, with ads and popups for IE users to get him money
<Henke37> he also uses drugs and have a twisted day rythm
<Silent-Shadow> he can't do this
<nyko> drugs have nothing to do with this Henke37
<Wells> they do when all scenestar does is say "fucking hell i feel like shit" and "i'm so bored" on irc all day
<Silent-Shadow> vote
<Sid> a twisted day rhythm doesn't have much to do with anything, my sleeping pattern is also totally fucked
<Silent-Shadow> who feels scenestar is unfit to be a part of this team, and/or managing RootThisBox
<nyko> same
<Silent-Shadow> .14.55.31. [@hacker ] [@html] [@scenestar] [@Silent-Shadow]
<Silent-Shadow> .14.55.31. [@Henke37] [@nyko] [@Sid ] [@Wells ]
<Henke37> he awakes like 3pm
<nyko> so do i Henke37
<Sid> am me, I got up at 8pm a couple of days ago
<Silent-Shadow> who feels scenestar is unfit to be a part of this team, and/or managing RootThisBox
<html> me
<Wells> me
<Henke37> seriosly, I never go up as late as 1 pm
<Henke37> mit is more important to scenestar to say "blegh, I am bored" on irc, to ask for the apache logs in order to analyze the referers, to remove articlee
<Silent-Shadow> me
<nyko> I feel he is, but hasn't shown any signs of doing so, so i'll have to agree with the only option i can
<Sid> I'm very hesitant about voting, but he does apparently have troubles working in a team
<Henke37> we still have to decide how to handle rtb.net
<Sid> me, no choice otherwise
<Wells> you don't have to vote Sid i think we have a majority
<Henke37> he still owns the domain
<Silent-Shadow> .net isn't involved
<Henke37> he still owns the domain
<Silent-Shadow> we're doing .org
<Silent-Shadow> yeah
<Silent-Shadow> that's his
<Silent-Shadow> he can do what he wants with it
<Silent-Shadow> probably something lik hackthissite.net
<Sid> so, as henke and nyko have said, who would run rtb in scene's place?
<Silent-Shadow> actually
<Silent-Shadow> Wells
<Silent-Shadow> you here?
<html> yep, and I honestly wish him good luck for his project

I would just like to comment that working "in a team" should be translated into "listening to silent-shadow".

This entire conversation is filled with wordplay, lies, slander and defamation of character.

After months of work I have been removed for taking initiative and being able to function without sucking some admin's balls.

I expected this to happen sooner or later, and therefore I am proud to announce that Rootthisbox will still be released by me, albeit outside the range of silent-shadow.

I hereby warn our entire community of his character, please be aware that if he does this to a loyal person like me, he will do the same to you.

This totally goes in against any of the visions of our founder Jeremy Hammond, and I will talk to him in prison about this as soon as I get the chance to.

In the mean time, [removed] is still going strong. All users have been migrated and we can expect the first boxes to be up in a week.

All currently signed up users will receive a further message about this over email.

<scenestar> As a hacker I feel it is my duty to have users switch to a better, more secure browser, this is popup was just one of the ways.

What gives you the right to tell other people what to use for their web browser? I personally hate FF since 1.5, and I much prefered 0.7-0.9. I now use IE7, and there's no way in hell I will ever go back to FF unless they fix their piece of shit pop-up blocker, amongst other things. Also, has it ever occured to you that people may have no other choice than to use IE? Grow up, and stop making decisions for other people. And by the way, SS is the sysadmin, at least he's nice enough to talk to other people about major decisions before doing them himself.
As well, I am still quite disappointed that after 3 months (apparently 9?) nothing has happened with RTB. I don't plan on using it (although I may eventually if I find time), but still, ridiculous. And I have seen the way you talk to Henke37 on IRC, and it's despicable, and I don't see how he would ever want to help scenestar either. I don't personally see any interpersonal skills scenestar may have, and I don't see why he has remained leader of RTB for so long. Also, I know about some of the rm -rf's (from last year/year before) which were completely irresponsible and pointless. I personally don't see why he was ever given access again (I don't know his 'skills' that he claims he has), and I also don't see why he was given access to forum logs (I was against this when discussed with admins/mods).
My point is this: it's really about time something happened with RTB (and v4 for that matter), and if that requires new leadership (which it apparently does) then so be it. May I ask then who shall be leading RTB now?

I believe that answers your question.

scenestar, henke37, while I cannot say that I can take a side in this argument, as an administrator from other communities that have gone through a lot of shit and as someone who has seen the effects of one project offsetting the entire purpose of a community when opinions on it differ, I do have some comments:

The truth is, the RTB that Jeremy want(s)(ed), the RTB that scenestar wants, and the RTB that the rest of the staff wants is 95% the same among all parties. That is to say, the project has, in truth, the same goals. The only difference is that a few members cannot get along and differ on opinions on NON-MATERIAL matters. As I just said, the goals, (essentially the material and content) of RTB is the same among all parties.

By splitting into 2 factions, so to speak, both parties are crippling their resources by fighting over matters that are insignificant to the goal of the project. While I respect your differences, and I understand there is tension between where and how the server should be hosted and under what domain, you guys have to understand that ultimately these are matters that will have little influence on the actual PURPOSE of the site. And honestly, it will be a big shame if all this work has to be now split in half to develop two versions of RTB.

I'm not saying anyone here will make friends now. And I'm not saying SS and scenestar will agree on any matters. All I'm saying is that you guys are fighting over matters that don't matter in the big picture. While they might be critical in development, and the issue of fund-raising is something that will arise post-development as well, the fact of the matter is that the content and material for RTB is aimed to be the same.

All I'm saying is that splitting RTB into two projects just because of differences of how to get there is ultimately screwing over us, the community, a lot more than it is hurting you guys.

As usual Rake is right.

Are those the full logs? I think they miss bits and pieces.

We aren't losing anything from getting rid of scenestar. The majority of the coding was done by Henke37, and the layout was stolen from another site. Scenestar has had 9 months to do something with roothisbox and at the moment it's just a shell. RTB will continue to be developed by the HTS community, if scenestar wishes to compete with his RTB.net site then so be it.

We tried a number of times to get scenestar to cooperate and work as a team, but he showed time and again that he is only concerned with acquiring more power and control. We don't need power hungry people who completely disregard the plans of the group and make important decisions by themselves.

Scenestar is a rogue developer now, he can do what he wants but it's not going to affect us.

I don't know what the Team Rules and Regulation's are!
But, what i can understand is Meaning of Administrator, I mean if SceneStar have been appointed as the Administrator of RTB, He should be given the Complet previlages of Administrator for RTB. Firefox issue is was ofcource unexpected as administrator of RTB.

Ofcourse you do ^_^

I mean no disrespect Scene, but it seems to me you actually will do better by yourself, and when
you have completed your little 'rogue' project with splendid results, people will respect your knowledge
much more than they did before. People are different, and some people just don't have the personality for
working in a group. There's no shame in that. Maybe you could learn, but that is your choice.

As for the rtb project, it has been and will continue to be, a project that all hts members are very proud
of, and I for one is hoping it will turn out great. I wish the best of luck to everyone that will work with the
project. If you need any help, just give me a shout.

From what I can tell, this thread should be locked. All it's going to do is create a flame war on the subject. The vote was done, the un-needed removed, and the present is now locked. Deal with it, don't spam about it. Hopefully something can now be done about RTB. Personally, I support the decision that was made and hope things can continue more smoothly.

With a change of leadership, Scene will be able to work under the conditions he wants (with whomever he chooses) and HTS' RTB can remain as .org and be run as a team like it's supposed to be.

On a side note, I think the thread "Rootthisbox Taken Hostage!11!shiftone" should be unstickied as it is no longer needed.

unneeded you say?

The best part of all of this that after I left .org development stalled whilst [removed] is up and running.

The only thing that really pisses me off is the complete slander used by current staff.

Well, do you need them to continue to work on rtb.net? No, therefor they are unneeded to you. Do they need you to continue on rtb.org? No, therefor you are unneeded to them. So by saying "The unneeded has been removed", it doesn't only mean that they don't need you to continue, but you don't need them thus they were "removed" from "your project" and you were removed from "their project".
