: you are irresponsible and immature, you maintain nor do you appear to udnerstand what a commitment is, you do not do enough major work to warrant having such an insane amount of power over how the servers are done, and how the "business" of the site is conducted. youve installed yourself into your own place of power, and have only remained there because youve in the past been such an essential part of the site, that i could not have done anything about it. it was a mistake for me to allow you to assume responsibilities which i should have known you could not fulfill. as it stands, you should have remained the php coder, and not become an integral part of the website. why not become integral? because again, you lack both the responsibility, maturiy, and understanding of how things should work, being that you are not entitled to anything, but rather are given the priviledge in exchange for being a productive member of the team. i think that is almost ridiculous that you are naive enough to be so firmly planted behind your beliefs, while i have conceded to the fact that my decision is not without its flaws. until you understand what dues come along with being an administrator of a non expendable website, i think that you have no place on the team. until you realize that you owe something to the site which you have voluntarily agreed to work on, just as i do to the users, we will get nowhere. youre intelligent, and a very talented php coder, that is not being disputed. as of the past few months, if not over the course of the past year, you have not made good on numerous commitments and the assumed if not stated responsibilities that came along with your position. this is due course for your relief of current position, if not termination outright.

4chan's PHP Wizard[edit]

Snacks joined Team 4chan in August 2004 as the lead frontend developer, sometimes ghosting as sysadmin when the actual sysadmin, DJ Lucid, was unavailable. He reworked Futallaby to modernize the frontend into what is today 4chan's basic functionality (i.e. replying with an image) and developed the admin toolkit composed of FutaTools, FutabaLight and the ban management page. He also made Firefox extensions such as 4chanshit, based on DamageInc's Official 4chan Extension.[4]

Midnight Snacks was first unveiled on 4chan's /b/ board, with snacks famously stickying Radio threads and banning all dissenters. Arbitrary bans became his calling card, with moot revealing in the Otakon 2005 4chan Panel that Snacks had was first in the 'scoreboard', with over 1500 bans, 3 times as many as the N. 2.

Snacks saw himself turned into a site mascot, Snacks-tan, a blonde-haired anime girl wielding a massive Ban Hammer. Snacks-tan becomes one of the most widely recognized 4chan characters, being cosplayed at conventions as far back as AX 2006. (n.b. who the f came up with the design????)

Firing[edit]

In October 2005, unspoken frustrations between snacks and moot ended in a spectacular falling out over snacks' lack of progress regarding a "4chan map" (related to 4meet?), ending with him getting fired from the admin position and Snacks later quitting the team altogether.[5] Months later his friend 5 got fired over Midnight Snacks stickies.

W.T Snacks and moot later make amends and snacks maintains a close relationship with team4chan. He was also a guest at the 4chan Otakon 2006 panel, appearing near the end of the flash intro and again guest-starred in Otakon 2007, nor did he quit using 4chan where he posted sporadically on /b/ and later /r9k/.
