First off, that PM Reply was a joke. I'm glad you posted it though, now everyone else can laugh at it. You don't think I actually reply to PM's sounding like a useless SoE CSR do you?
You were removed for multiple reasons. Lets go over just a few of them, shall we?
You continue to spread lies and slander not only about your server and people related to it, but people related to this entire project. This includes defamation of several EQEmu developers. You lie about your server and it's history, about this 8 years bullshit that nobody cares about (don't even bother trying to defend this, we know it isn't true and we don't care). This is sometimes linked to your alcoholic issues which also creates numerous problems for this community and for the players of your server.
Let's move on to one of the biggest issues regarding your server. You openly admit to registering your server as a business in the state of Oregon in addition to soliciting donations as profitable income. Not only is this illegal and immoral, it puts this entire project at risk. Your actions could very well contribute to any legal battle that comes to any server involved in this community.
Server's given preferred+ status should be servers that represent this community in multiple aspects; They should be high population, high stability/reliability, and have a friendly staff that treats players with respect. I have received numerous logs and complaints about the way you act towards players on your server and the way you represent it generally. It's unprofessional, and it does not deserve any special status.
Your average player mark has dropped drastically. Your server is barely sustaining a population, probably due to the need to spill real cash to get anywhere. The biggest reason for a preferred+ server is population, and you've lost yours.
The majority of the EQEmu developers have gotten fed up with dealing with you. The fact is, is there a reason you would DESERVE to be green? You don't have a population, you don't have uptime. There is a reason we don't set specific guidelines on what servers need to be preferred+, and it's because it should be something that the developers decide on, based on what feels necessary and what doesn't. Additionally, it is so we don't have to deal with people like you making claims that you deserve it when you don't. Even if you did have a reason for deserving green, you've demolished any support you might have had within the group of people that would decide on it due to your attitude, insults, and lies.
Time to get a job mort, we won't help you earn cash from donations anymore.
Oh and for the record, It's laughable that you claim to have "fired" me from your server. A little hazy on your own history are you? This just reinforces the first reason above.
