I actually did see this thread back when it started, it wasn't very interesting then. But then Kushan posts and all of a sudden I'm back in 2004!
I avoided a lot of the drama, sometimes just because I wasn't around, or other times because the drama was contained to areas I didn't care about like TeamSpeak. But I suppose I mostly avoided the drama because I didn't hold an important position or really care too much about the "competition". About the worst I could do was slightly taunt Reborn by holding them to their declared release date. December 31st, 2004, I think it was?
The scuffles I remember getting involved in directly tended to be disagreements in Server Moderation with the MP Gaming server or with Souljack's moderation guidelines in the late BHP era. I specifically remember hearing about the breakaway from BHP and immediately jumping in trying to keep people from getting too hostile while they aired out their grievances with each other. I was removed enough from the situation that I didn't have a clear picture of what was going on and I had to have it explained to me on the fly by people like ChopBam and co., but I hope my actions helped people keep their emotions in check. That break could have been a lot uglier than it was.
