You know him as THAT ASSHOLE.
Some of you love him.
Most of you hate him.
Once an Administrator of Iwaku, his best skill set was the bait and trapping of trolls.
His love for Iwaku runs so deep, that he fiercely defends it from all threats.
Yet, it is also this passion that blinded him to the collateral damages that occurred when he threw gasoline on to the flames.
His reckoning day has come.
And by your powers combined...
YOU CAN BAN ASMODEUS.

"OMG IS THIS FOR REAL?!"
"HOLY SHIT, HOW CAN YOU BAN SOMEONE FOR MONEY?"
We are shameless opportunists.
Asmo is a guy that has given SO MUCH to Iwaku over the years! He was once a great administrator, and deep down he really does care about the well being of the community. Many of the things you see and practices we have are because of his contributions and influence. UNFORTUNATELY, he's also so blinded by his passion, he doesn't understand that being a huge shit to destroy other shits just creates more problems than it solves. People that are innocent get bulldozed in the crossfire. We've TRIED to explain it, we've tried to teach, we've tried all kinds of things but this is a lesson that hasn't been learned.
We COULD just hit him with the ban hammer and be done with it. But, we saw this wonderful opportunity to allow all the people of Iwaku to have a little vindication while also helping the site. Asmo has pissed off a LOT of people over the years, both friends and foes. With this fundraiser, YOU get to help set the terms of his punishment while also helping Iwaku pay the bills. And because Asmo is someone who honestly loves Iwaku and was WARNED this is where he'd end up, we know he's not going to turn in to one of those psycho people that comes after us and kills us. <3
We will NEVER have a chance to benefit the site AND have a bit of sporting fun in a safe way like this ever again.

This fundraiser will last for 3 days and begins on FRIDAY THE 13TH.
Don't be a jerk about things! He earned his ban, but lets not go around saying nasty things and being mean people.
SHUT UP, ASMO.
5 Dollars = 1 Day of Banishment.
If you donate 25 dollars, that's 5 days of Asmo being banned.
20 people donating 25 dollars would mean 100 days of a banned Asmo.
There is NO cap on donations or the ban time. If you want him banned for 2 years, you could make it happen.
(But um, please don't ban him forever. O_O I would have to pay taxes if we raised THAT much money.)
COMBINATIONS ARE ENDLESS.
And when Asmo returns from the wilds of banland, maybe he'll be a little more considerate. >:[
If not, we'll get to have another fundraiser and ban him all over again! 8D

Directly to the costs of Iwaku!
- Our server bill is 100$ a month.
- Renewals for some of our modification licenses are currently due and have to be renewed so we can download the updates. (This includes features like better mod controls, conversation features, the tags system, and additional site tools.)
- Yearly domain costs.
- NEW modifications when they become available. (We are still scouting for a new groups system and blogs system, for example!)
- Sometimes when we have a LOT of cash in the kitty, we can bribe modders to do custom work for us.
No matter what choice was made about what we should do with Asmo, SOMEONE was going to be pissed off. Whether you believe Asmo is the greatest person on the planet, or the hugest douche in the universe. >> Here is a guy that was a staffer to Iwaku even before I was. Who was a fantastic admin. Is a super awesome person to the people that know him. But here is also a guy that has continuously broken a LOT of behavior policy. Attacked and abused people, sometimes justly sometimes not. Often things that we ban MOST people for right on the spot. I fully 100% admit that he probably should have been banned a couple years ago during any number of these moments. And I fully 100% admit that often he wasn't because of his history on the site and because of any number of other excuses that are fair, but are probably not worth it. These are things HE knows and HE has even called out.
It's easy to say just ban him. It's easy to say just let him do his thing. .__. Do a temp ban. Do a partial ban. Do it private. Do it public. Do nothing and see what happens. It's easy to judge what should and shouldn't be done, up until you are the person faced with making a decision that is going to affect ten years worth of site history and people that you care about. It's not easy to decide to ban ANYONE, let alone someone with as much history as Asmo.
I decided to go the RISK MY LIFE AND REPUTATION BIG BANG way. >> Asmo is the kind of guy that has always done things BIG on Iwaku, so why not let him go out in a big way too. We get to have FUN with this with someone who is on board and understands. How often does THAT ever happen? .__.
I apologize to all of the people that find this shady, morally repugnant, and super not cool, no matter which side of the fence you sit on. I get your reasons, I really reeeaally do. You do not have to participate and I completely understand if this hurts your trust in Iwaku, the admins, and myself.
But sometimes, I gotta be naughty for Iwaku. >:/
