There were also several other reasons that have been riddled throughout this thread, but the reality of it is really quite clear.
Everyone should be aware that Streety was not forced out of his position without any reserve; when approaching such situations we try to be as delicate as possible to avoid disrupting harmony and development as much as we can. Streety was given fair notice and was kept aware of our actions throughout a lot of the latter parts of the process (up to being politely asked to resign).
We know Streety has a lot of friends on Unholy Nation and is quite the charismatic person to be around if you know him, but there have been a lot of instances where favoritism has come to be a problem during his management as well.

So let me understand this, if Development staff don't get what they want a Manager gets fired? You have Managed a server before. Are you seriously telling me that the retarded ideas that come from these staff should be entertained? Have you seen what that has lead to? Xelt redid TC without permission adding lava and all kinds of random things. Xelt added a huge ugly pirate ship. Xelt added a "forest maze" and water to a random spot of our GMAP that used to be fun to drive your car through. The ideas that these "disgruntled dev staff" were coming up with were likely ones that were pointless, or not a priority. It's the Manager's JOB to decide whether a project is relevant or not, not the Dev staff who want to work on their own projects.
And as for directing people away? Let me hit you with this. Do you remember how hard it was to get a response from Spryte when she was on RC? It could literally take HOURS LOL. At least he has the common courtesy to direct you to someone who has the ability to help you to the full extent instead of giving you the cold shoulder totally or giving you half-answers. Besides that, it's our job as PR Staff to deal with the majority of Player Related issues. That's why Player Relations exist. What's the point of having a PR Admin, FAQs and a FAQ Admin, GPs and and a Chief, etc. if Streety has to take the time out to answer someone "how do I get to point x" everytime someone asks him or "how much is y worth?" or "Unban my friend plzzz he's changed honest!!!" You're not being reasonable. If we couldn't handle our jobs that's when it becomes Streety's priority.
Now you say he wasnt forced out? How does Bell saying "Maybe you should step down" constitute asking him to resign? That sounds more like someone acting as though they are concerned for you, not that you are about to be forcibly removed.
I dont even want to get into favoritism with you Tig. Let's leave that at that.
