Acid was the owners screen name at uni3 and before. Acid changed his screen name to Tarsupin at uni4. At uni5 it may have been Brint, or maybe that was just his name. I didn't hang around uni5 that much.

Every time the unifaction site needed a big change, they ended up doing that by changing the website. At uni3, people were able to make threads for item ideas. That allowed people to express if they like an item idea and why. At uni4, that was replaced by all ideas being stuffed in all threada. People were supposed to express their enjoyment of an item through pressing like on a post. Where uni3 was full of people and energy, uni4 started to loose it's energy, so to say.


all started around the time when a mod by the name of MamaD either was no longer part of the staff, or website. While I'm not sure which one, it's because she just sort of vanished. Or maybe it started when some of the staff tried to make another website. That site is neither here nor there though, and probably unrelated anyway. That is its own can of worms.

A group formed off uni3 briefly to try to figure out what is going on in uni3 to cause this inactivity. Some in the group said it was the staff getting distant with the sites normal members. Others said that wasn't it, but neither of the groups had an explanation as to the why. One person said it was related to MamaD. I don't remember who it was, but I wish we listened to that person more. MamaD was like the link between staff and normal site members. In any case, the person in charge of the group was banned, causing the group to instantly fall apart and stop.

This was the start of a banning episode, where basically all you had to do to get permanently banned was... well, nothing. Some people were banned for real reasons, but most people were banned for either saying one wrong thing, or because Acid was having a fit and saw their name. During the time of banning, Acid said things that made it very clear that we are not supposed to treat the staff there like people, as in you never doubt a single word they say, never question them. A few bannings were specifically for asking questions. A few people who were not banned started avoiding uni3 out of fear. I think it is safe to say at this point that I am under exaggerating what happened, but I also do that with a lot of things. It was a smidgen bit of a chaotic time.

Time passed, and then we changed over to uni4. At uni4, a few of the banned and scared rejoined unifaction, but not under the same screen names they once had. I don't really blame them for this. I don't recall if anything crazy happened during this time, but I don't think so. Over the years, people sort of forgot the crazy mass banning episode where Acid claimed superiority over anyone and everyone. Sometimes Acid acted scary at uni4, but no mass bannings happened. I think people learned to be afraid of Acid after the first time. I don't think anything too bad happened during uni4, but there might be something I've blocked out.

Then uni5 happened. I don't know it's brief history well, since I paid so little attention to uni5. While I do think there were staff who wanted to connect with members, I now think the issue all along may have been Acid himself, not the staff. There were few staff members who were quite friendly, it's just Acid was sort of crazy.

Coda, your humor is quite amusing.
