My thoughts about the y!gallery situation.

When I say I love y!gallery I mean it, as I’m sure other people do.
I was refreshing and refreshing the website 24/7 hoping it would be back for its 7th birthday. A little bit sad when that didn’t happen but optimistic it would come soon.

But then it didn’t, and I got… angsty. I’m a curious person by nature and then I began to find *the posts*.

yes, that's what I mean, or even the "rightful owner" for the hacker. Someone else was saying on tumbrl she made the account--or at least it was her idea--

why did I thought it was BS? Because of a conversation and I thought the timing was just too much of a coincidence.
Please, do remember the only thing "I know" is based on rumors, looking for the outside it seems like the mods are having a war (terminator style) so I thought it was weird suddenly "no one had access to it" and the only few updates we were getting were coming from the homepage.

That's why I'm asking people to wait, today, right now... you read the posts and the panorama seems devastating to the point I almost want to cry. But at the other hand I know you guys are already testing the site so maybe this was just a lot of dust, we won't know things for sure until it settles down.

oh~ just to make something clear (maybe you did understood that way but~ just to make it clear XD) I'm not saying lyiint changed the password and said it was hacked... actually I'm thinking the other way around >.>

but it's not like I firmly believe there was no way it was hacked... I mean, if it was given back to her but she can't access because the address is wrong I think the situation deserves a huge facepalm! XD

what worries me is that from outside it looks like it there was a coup d'etat to become a dictatorship. I don't think people would complain --or at least I wouldn't-- if monetizing the site would be a collective decision but it looks like the decision was taken by 1 person who worked towards that goal. which makes it 2-3 people out of~ how many mods?

oh yes, I found her yesterday :)

dunno, Lyiint has been awesome, I don't know how things are going backstage but I do hope she will able to retrain her 'title' and not be just a SMod
