If you had said to me a few weeks ago that things would have panned out they way they have, I would have said there is more chance of hell freezing over. Well I woke up this morning to this...
Now I'm not saying I live I hell but I couldn't think of any other way to start this blog off!
I WILL WARN YOU NOW, I MAY SWEAR AND SOME THINGS MIGHT RUB A BIT TO CLOSE TO THE BONE
I try and read all the new posts that appear in my feed and I've seen a lot of people commenting in different posts for the last 2 days.
So although I don't think I've kept my position quiet, it's time to clear the air and confirm where I stand!!
I stand with #SSG and not with Stax. We all know ssg is not Stax and Stax is not ssg.
Unfortunately I was not able to make the live chat on discord, but after listening to it all (thanks to 
To be honest I'm still in a state of shock!!
Im not normally lost for words but I am finding it hard to get out all the things that are going around in my head.
I saw Stax as a community owned bot, managed by Phil. Which is why, when ever there was a decision about how she was developing ie name, image, tiers, etc it was always put the US, the community to decide. If, as he now claims the bot was his, why not just implement what ever he thought best and save us all the effort. Maybe he thought by blogging about it and getting the group input he could generate more income for himself all along?
Now I'm going to move straight on to something that has really pissed me off, sorry if I keep jumping but my brains all over the place still!!
Why would someone that thinks they own the bot, allow the community to decide if they should receive compensation (payment) for running it?? He says he always thought he owned Stax and if this is the case then still paying himself 100% upvote, in my opinion was deceitful. If it was always Phil intention to claim ownership of the bot then "owning" the wallet should have been his reward. Why would he ask the community to vote on this matter if the decision was his all along.
I know I'm repeating myself but I'm baffled. My only conclusion is that he was TAKING US ALL FOR A RIDE ALL ALONG and that's the bit that hurts the most. I can live with being fooled, I can live with putting my trust in a fake, I can live with all that, sometimes I'm too trusting, but I cannot comprehend why!! Why would you risk it all for a little bit of money??? Grrrrrr......
Why did he think so many people were willing to delegate so early on, myself included? Why did he think the likes of Ray raised so much money to give to help grow the sp? It wasn't for Phils benefit!! It was to benefit every member of SSG. Phil must have been laughing himself to sleep every night of the week, thinking he's found a great cash-cow now. I'm just thankful it came out now and not another 6/12month down the line.
News spreads fast in the stacking community and why would he risk phelimints reputation within in it?
I've just realised I'm asking more and more questions that I don't even want answers to. I'm done with Staxx. Stax is dead long live ssg.
Sorry this post is crap, I've typed, deleted, typed again and deleted again lots of things I've been thinking all throughout the day and now the post is all over the place with no real content.
Look I'm sure we can all put this behind us and move on, grow and even one day forgive.
All I know is that the community needs a sugar daddy/mummy in the form of a bot, that's owned, run and maintained for and by the community. We need a way for the larger minnows to help the newer ones grow. So that's what will be done.
Once again sorry this post is all over the place and a total waste of time but I'm glad you made it to the end.
Much love xx
