Sorry, I have this crazy idea to believe people I've learned to trust.

He was doing a heck of a better job then any of us were at the time, in any case.

How can you tell this? Unless you have a mystical thought reader, I could say the same thing about me or Aftershock or you or konidias and it would be justified by that logic. You're just making baseless assumptions derived from his actions, which didn't at all indicate power hungryness.

Tell me, if his goal in being admin was to improve the forums then what did he actually do to achieve this? I never saw him do anything that wasn't already being done.

First off.
A) It's IMPOSSIBLE to detect when someone is using a cookie to log in. We do NOT have the kind of power to detect it or look up the player account logs.
Second off.
B) The account sharing rule was not even IN yet.
He improved the forum by adding orginization and making sure all moderators agreed on something before applying it.

More baseless assumptions. C'mon, man, I know you're better then that.

Torankusu wasn't removed from his moderator position, he simply had his access to the Sandbox revoked. And that was for various reasons. Examples:
1) He didn't agree with the rules. So why bother letting him debate about them? He couldn't bring anything useful to the conversations.
2) He often took matters from the Sandbox to the public forums. On multiple occasions he took text from there and quoted it in public threads, completely ignoring the fact that it was supposed to stay private.

1) He agreed completely with the rules, but he debated things
that were not written in stone.
2) He did have good reason to. You WERE planning to try and exploit the rules to get Spi banned from the forums, and trying to discuss it on the Sandbox proved completely fruitless.
