Okay, I understand your confusion, but that's not what I meant. Let me phrase it out differently. Ants did have this plan set in motion for this very reason, but it's a little more complicated than putting a letter in an envelope.>You:
>It's just scary seeing so much history concentrated in one place.
>implying you are scared because this one place is run by just one person >Me:
>and I wouldn't want it any other way.
>That's the reason this place didn't pull a newgrounds or a 4chins yet.
>The constant fear of Ants getting the kiss of corona-chan, that's just something we will have to live with. I was saying that having just ONE (dedicated and integer) person running EVERYTHING here is the reason that this place is as "protectworthy" as it is.
If there were other people or other places involved with any kind of deciding power, we would have the same downfall as seen in newgrounds and 4nhac.
Ants cares for his site and his people and he alone has all the power he needs for that.
The downside being obviously that when he would be no more (knock on wood *tapu tapu*), all is kinda gone I assume.
Those are 2 sides of 1 coin.
If Admin would decide to just give (another pair of) the keys to a third person, this 3rd person would need to be at least as trustworthy as Ants himself, something which I assume to be not a easy thing.
If someone has "power in an emergency" he has power all the time. There is no surefire way to give power to someone ONLY AND ONLY WHEN a certain event happened.
I mean, sure, juristically there are such ways, but understand that this place is pretty much run anonymously and that's the way it should stay.
You cannot write in your testament, GIVE THAT MAN ALL THE COPYRIGHT VIOLATING, CP RIDDEN, AND OBSOLETE AND ALSO PROBABLY ILLEGAL IN ALL THE WAYS FLASH FILES ON THE SERVER I UNDERHANDEDLY RAN FOR SOME DECADES, without many unwanted questions arriving at whoever inherits this. Maybe he has a family and doesn't want them to be involved in any of this.
Ants made it kinda clear he would prefer a more discreet, kind of nobody knows and cares kinda approach.
At least, that's how I would think of a thing that even MOOT thought was too hot to handle at some point.
Just take a look at the patreon fiasco. Whenever someone outside is involved, things seem to go awry pretty quickly. tl;dr: if you're too obvious, you run into problem which Admin tries to keep off the table
and if you're tooo discreet, nobody knows this exists and into the trash it goes |
