Great Board Switch of 2008

= The Great Board Switch of 2008 =

The "Great Board Switch of 2008" is an event in WW3RP history, seperate from the actual game itself. Instead, it affected the OOC elements of the game, including person to person relations and was responsible for the death and quick revival of the role playing community at WW3RP.

The Cause and its Effect
The situation started on the old role play boards, which used a z10 address instead of the new z13. It developed out of a conflict between the player and admin Isotope, and the likewise Jacapo_Saladin. Both served as administrator, but only Isotope held the position of ROOT administrator.

Tensions between the two arose when Isotope first took a vacation. Normally this wouldn't have been a problem, but his failure to notify Jacapo, or any other member for that matter, left Jacapo to manage the entire role play by himself, which in of itself still wasnt terrible, as it was something he(Jacapo) had been doing for several months.

When Isotope returned, everything was normal, until a war broke out. Isotope, who was France, attempted to use nuclear weapons against a country, something that was  forbidden under the rules made by Jacapo in the month Isotope was gone. When confronted by this, Isotope then went ahead and removed the rule, which led to calls of bias, as he himself was benefiting . Isotope removed Jacapo's adminship, which prompted Jacapo to start the current site.

The z10 site died shortly after, and Isotope faded into obscurity for some time, eventually joining the z13 site under the screen name Elph.

The Board Today
As of this writing, Jacapo retains sole adminship of the z13 site, though he does have several moderators working under him. There are no harsh feelings amongst any of the belligerents in the Great Board Switch of 2008.
