<< < (5/5)

Yes that are good news Maby IVAO can be a bit more democracy in future. So that at least al stuffs or "seniormembers" with more than 1000 hours online are allowed to vote.;D

Feh! Political power playing occurs any time groups of people start to work together... It's a big part of human nature. Heck, I'm sure we all know the saying, "Never trust a man that wants to be a politician".

I was a staff member for IVAO-GB for a time, the director and assistant director changed. The ADIR for some reason took a dislike to me, and then I wasn't IVAO-GB staff any more.

It was (and is) all just politics - even EuroHarmony has been afflicted by it on occasion, but thankfully we are still a small enough community that we can very quickly move past it (and Gergely, as El Presidente, rules with an iron fist ;D).

Time will pass and everything (and everyone) will calm down. Then, and only then, should all the parties involved start to talk things over and come to a mutually agreeable arrangement.

:)

Ooh, this looks like a little kettle of fish waiting to explode!! My problem is that in most well publisised coups there is an obvious "bad" leader who is doing harm and everyone agrees he/she should go - i have been using IVAO for well over a year now and have hundreds of hours and as far as i could see there was no problem and i'm sure most normal users were also unaware of any problems - therefore to suddenly find this has happened and people are saying there were so many problems i find a bit strange...i'm sure if we were all made aware of the REAL problems before this happened then there would be less resentm,ent?? Maybe it's just me.....anyway, as long as the day to day ATC and pilots are as helpful as ever then long may it continue. Happy landings, Jim

Hi Jim,

I think the problems are much smaller as some people think or describe it.

All that happened that a HQ member, Mr Hansen, was asked to leave his position to prevent harm and ensure IVAO's future. Keeping him as President would have caused a large part of the senior staff to leave IVAO, including the Software Department (leaving IVAO without software), because of Mr Hansen's attitude.

The problems started a long time ago, but of course they weren't publicized to members and the rest of senior staff tried to resolve it by talks and discussions. Only when everything failed, we proceeded to this step.

Saying that an IVAO staff position is about power, and some people wanted more power, is not true, because a staff position is solely about volunteer work, to give the best services to members, without any rewad, in your free time. I think 95% of IVAO users don't know who leads IVAO, who wrote IvAc etc.

And not much harm was done to IVAO, if you look at servinfo, there are still the same amount of people online.
