I knew Volte when he built the first version of DD ages ago and actually got him his first gig as a PHP developer.

Who do I blame for his blatant misuse of AJAX?

Volte!… He'll willingly admit to some of the very experimental nature of some of the code that he used on millsberry, just sayn.

For those that don't know me:

I work for platinum studios and oversee DD now. I knew Volte when he built the first version of DD ages ago and actually got him his first gig as a PHP developer. To be honest, his talent got him the gig. I just opened the door. He and I have worked on many project together since, including mrtiki.com.

Volt brought me over to platinum. I'm in the process of building a development team to fill our late mr. volte's large shoes.

Please bare with me as we transition.

-Dweeds

So basically your job is going to be handling everyone's complaints, overseeing this team and handling all the administrative stuff of that team.

Very large shoes to fill indeed. But I suppose as much as we can offer is the support of the community. Volte got some awesome stuff done, so here's to hoping you guys can keep it up for him as a legacy.

Whoa, well…see ya around Volte. I wish you luck, but don't be a stranger now!

I can't help but be even more worried now though, first Platinum's running out of money supposedly, now DD's admin has mostly left the building, who's going to be here to save DD if some evil villain yanks the plug? ;_;

Wow, five minutes on the job and i've already been labeled discriminatory! I win!

Seriously, I'm very excited to help DD on to its next chapter. I was, of course, kidding about being so scrupulous in my choice of friends. Anyone that wants to chat please feel free to fire away. ^.^

Anonymousposterchild, I was wondering how much money you paid to have your comics hosted here.

Also, Good job, Volte.

Posted at

Great job Volte!

APC I have not said much to you in the past 'cause you've got fair cause to complain and it certainly is time for someone with fresh vision, ideas & enthusiasm to take over but Volts HAS done good work for DD and you don't get to try and take that away from him. I work in software QA & let me tell you this level of bugs in an online application is way more common then you would think, which is why I'm willing to cut Voltes a lot of slack. The company I work for has been paid millions of dollars to get stuff working online with way more bugs then this. If you look at what he got done with the limited resources he had it is impressive.

Just because we all (or most of us anyway) agree that more a lot more work still needs to be done doesn't mean you can't apreciate that someone did the best that they could with what they had to work with.

Can't you put down your war drum and spit out your sour grapes for a moment and apreciate the fact that the guy built this site out of nothing & gave us six years his life regardless of what more we would have liked to have seen done Volts did an awful lot and he did it well because DD is still around when other hosting sites like Jelly Creations which are long gone now. If you can't then maybe you should go suck down a bag of sugar 'cause you are way to bitter.

There is a time and place for everything and this isn't the time to try and throw up flack. If you are determined to be a jerk to Volts even as try some of us try and wish him luck in the future then I suggest to stick your fingers in you ears and hum real loud over by those people who like to protest homsexuals at funerals until its over 'cause this isn't about you.

Hey everyone, i'm cleaning this thread up a bit… there's really no need for all of the fighting :)

Thanks for all the support once again.

APC, there's really no need to continue with your raving. Why don't you give it a rest already? Your point of view is clear, and nobody really wants to hear it. So just stop it already.
