Basically: awkisopen (the sub's creator) fucking sucked. Massive dickhead. You probably guessed that if you were in the irc--I was a regular there--and he treated everyone in there like shit. Called me a high-functioning autist a day before he closed (lol,) kicked and banned multiple people unjustly, and was the direct cause for a lot of people (even former OPs and mods) to leave. Basically, he wanted to close the sub for a long time, because people annoyed him and he never wrote anyway, so he temporarily closed the sub to work on jotbot: the bot that held everything together. After weeks of not doing shit, jotbot got wiped. He whined about it in the irc, and no one really cared cause everyone was tired of his shit, so he threw a hissy fit and closed the irc as well. Kicked everyone. Closed it down, and here we are.

There are better ircs and subs out there, so it's no real loss. Also, /u/awkisopen: fuck you. You're a shite person, and I'm glad I don't need to listen to you anymore, hahaha. Go fuck yourself.

It's a shame because it was a great sub, a great IRC and a lot of really great people. Taking opportunity to say - Spacecops, if you see this, message us :(

Maybe someone should start a similar critiquing sub?

Edit to add: u/awkisopen, you know you could have just left the place open and gracefully excused yourself instead.

He had a lot of talent, he put a lot of work in, his podcasts if you find them are great.

He has talent as an editor, I can't remember seeing his writing so can't comment as to whether he has any ability there.

However, he does not have the temperament to run a creative community. Too judgemental and abrasive, and overall very immature.

Five years from now if he grows up and loosens up he may manage it much better.

Huh, I use to hang out there. Too bad.

seconding. I was a member there for several months last year, was in IRC every day for hours. It got to the point where if people dared talk about something Awk didn't want to talk about, he would kick them or start arguing, saying it was his IRC/subreddit. If you dared disagree openly with something he said (no matter how politely), he would insult your intelligence and dare you to continue. It was ridiculous. I feel sorry for him because dude had a lot of problems IRL, but it was no reason to act like he did. It sucks because the other people there were extremely nice and welcoming, and I made a lot of friends. But I just couldn't handle Awk's hatred anymore.

Pretty much my experience as well as many, many others'. It's funny how one man can both add and detract so much from the thing he's created, because it was a good sub--it really was--but he drove so many people away, and I'm not even sure if he really cared.

awkisopen got me kicked out of a writing subreddit IRC that I really enjoyed by taking my IRC nick and harassing people, because we had a disagreement about writing. It was super obvious it was him, but he was friends with the mods.

Dude is literal human garbage.

As much as I have issues with /u/awkisopen's attitude and actions towards people, that does not sound like his behaviour.

Well, it was years ago now. Whether or not you believe me is entirely up to you-- I didn't save logs or anything, I don't really care anymore. But I have been saying that this guy has been shit since then and it's nice to finally have public opinion swing round to my perspective.

Thank you Captain Ross. I couldn't have said it better. Anyone else want to kick the probable narcissist while he's looking for his dictionary?

He called us his girlfriend. Them's fighting words.
