To me, the biggest issue with the evidence is some of it is pretty much heresay. "He said this" and "She said that", can sometimes be taken out of context. I'm not stupid, I know there is a good chance its correct, that Azuraflux could be as well a thief, a liar and a manipulator burying all his problems in the hope that nobody sees them. But the thing is, someone needs to file this with the court system and the fans will only make things worst if they get involved.

The worst bit of this is whatever happens, you have VO forums who are unaware of this. The rest of the fans can discuss this outside of VO has he has no way of interfering with what we discuss. But if its true, then a VO admin who is untrustworthy has power at VO forums and I feel for the situation. I mean I faithfully spoke out in support of Diz here in the Vivi, because as far as I know them as their a decent person who just made a mistake. If this was Diz we were talking about in light of this, I would be lost for words. But...I don't know Azuraflux enough to either say if this is within his character. So even if I do or do not believe the evidence, I myself wouldn't have the ability to sit on Azura's side or not. I have had more interactions with Bioloid and though I disagree with some of thecomment calling me out on EVEC... Once again I think their a respectable person. Outside of these two, there are only a few other members of VO staff I have some idea on.

Even if you compare this to past controversies... Planty-P got away with things he did due to reputation, but that was reputation built up within a short time and had bad points due to Anon and Kanon's demo link being released. When it boiled down to it, we knew exactly where we stood and plenty of us weren't surprised at all by Stella. Azuraflux however, has been in the fandom much longer and has a reputation that is very different, so... Lots of people likely trust him and lots of people likely would be shocked if the allegations are true. In this case, some might even loose faith in VO forums if he remained a Admin. Remember some of his sites albums have even appeared in banners for the forum, meaning his influence on VO is decent enough.

All this is why I'm hoping things sort themselves out soon. I don't like this at all. Though in 1 month time, this may be forgotten.
