Basically we had a huge fight which led Yoda to vacant is position as God of the VG Press.

PS: I have no idea what actually happened, where and when.

For all the info see here.

Read it all and cry.

Oh and Steel Wandy Clause will visit you, better wear a helmet Nyaa


WTF is Wangy Claus anyway? Should I expect him in the nude? LOL

(in case you don't come back). 

  • This place is covered through 2018, I'm getting my money's worth (I'm not joking)
  • Users with a score of 37,000 or higher were assigned forum moderator and news editor functions
  • There is no "tech support".  Site help is informal, site problems need direct access.
  • We tried a 2-mod system - it didn't happen.  This is useful for high activity boards and vandalism, not organization and not a priority.
  • Only I can permanently delete anything.  You can all "delete" which flags the content not to be queried.
  • I've always wanted an artist.
  • You perma-banned the Hamster account?

Here's what happens.  Someone asks a question looking for a consensus, everyone makes a comment about some specific thing, then everyone forgets about it and nothing gets done.

Iga, I don't think further action is appropriate without Yoda's involvement.  

My suggestion moving forward is that when Yoda is ready we should have a small Board that can meet in a chat client to discuss defining the roles that are required and firming up the site policies. as for the members of that board I think it should be any of the top ten users who have an interest.

Vader, to get this thing moving we need more users.

So this is where I see things working.  When getting that first basic comment is a matter of seconds and not a matter of days.

But you're all very confused.  It's not who can or will do what or when; it's making decisions.  We cannot concurrently support a system that requires decisions be made, but no way to make them.  If you want to set up one person to decide things, then fine, and you can dispute the decisions, but you can't complain about a decision actually having been made.

Or you can set up multiple people to come to some sort of consensus, but you have to actually reach a conclusion somehow.

"Ok everyone, A, B, or C?"

"A!"

"B!"


"B? Maybe C..."

^I'm available for chat whenever today. I have googlechat, but I'm sure it's pretty simple to support any other format.  Skype has chat too. Yoda, maybe you could send out a tweet as to what time we come up with.

Let's use the UTC clock on the site (top right hand corner to coordinate). I'm available from now through 0800 tomorrow UTC.

Oh, and

People post all kinds of stuff at the boards because they feel there is a lack of feedback at blogs. But also because the blog format doesn't seem to lend very well for discussion and interaction. We have to remember that we are just a handful of users, scattered around different time zones, and it's exceedingly rare that we all happen to coincide here at any given time. 

Without getting into the specifics of the issue, you're clearly suggesting a dissatisfaction with the current blog system.  In the spirit of the title of this topic, you can go here So Site Suggestions and Rules Version 1.0 VOTE NOW!

Skype's the best idea, since a bunch of us already have it and each other as contacts.  I'm pretty much always on Skype (though invisible) because I use it as a phone.

 PM me with some details, or add me (I've PM'd you) -- if that will work.

What's going on are we going to have some meeting or something?

If yes, then count me in, but first I have to take a massive dump!
