UPDATE: Tweaker Re-Assumes Sonic Retro Administrator Position
Tristan Oliver | October 1, 2008
No Reason Given for Reassumption
Within the hour, we have learned that Tweaker, who had quietly resigned as administrator of the Sonic Retro forums yesterday, has returned to the same duty.
No reason has been given for his return–not by him, and nothing concrete by anyone else. We believe, like the self-demotion he imposed, that this return was his decision.
Speculation had grown among Retro as to the reasons for his departure. Some speculate scuffles with other forum members were a significant factor. It could have just been Tweaker being Tweaker–he has in the past, joined up and resigned positions from such areas as The Sonic Stadium and the Sonic Stuff Research Group.
We had reached Tweaker for comment via E-Mail regarding our first story, and never heard a response.

It was a social experiment.
In the future, I suggest you hold out on trying to make big stories out of things like this until you actually have real details.
I did send an E-Mail asking for comment…
If I don’t hear back, I have to run the details I know.

This website has gone to hell.
Slow news day?
“If I don’t hear back, I have to run the details I know.”
Or, you know, you can…not run details at all. Just sayin’.
Yeah… Pretty wasted news posts.
LOL. This is just sad. Who cares about some person on an internet forum? xD
BREAKING NEWS FIRST @ TSSZ: “Retro member, Vincent, itches nose, is no longer itchy.”
Followed up by…
BREAKING NEWS FIRST @ TSSZ: “Vincent, whom we reported on yesterday, now has an itchy buttocks. This is certainly a shocking twist of a development. More to follow.”
God, Tristan, I really hope you don’t plan on becoming a professional journalist.
This is ridiculous. Between this and the SFGHQ story, you’re reporting non-issues and trying to make something out of them. This is embarrassing to read and ill-informed. The reason I didn’t respond to your initial e-mail was because…it’s fairly obvious that you need to speak English on an English site. There are plenty of great international sites, such as Sonic Spain, Sonic Arena, Spindash.de, Sonic Hub, Sonic Dimension, Power Sonic, and that’s just off the top of my head–if you’re really itching to write something, why not give these guys some positive press?
