Title: Urgent Update(s):
George - September 14, 2003 05:12 PM (GMT)
The administration & moderation team of New Generation would like to bring you the following updates...
1. First on the agenda, we have our members. 64 at the moment. We are dying. Without any active members, we'll die. If we do not have 100 members by the end of October, we will close. Please start advertising and telling all of your buddies to join. If you would like to affiliate with New Generation, please contact Creator.
2. In case you haven't noticed, this board has two owners. RCT Wiz is the new owner, but Creator has the final say.
3. Staff booting. Staff that don't come here, don't get their privledges anymore. Staff members are staff members. They should be active.
4. No more administrator spots. Creator was going to admin you when you reached 1,000, but now I take that away. You guys have spammed your way to almost 1,000, and I choose quality over quantity. (We're talking about the moderators, not regular members.)
5. Please, try to keep posts on topic. Try not to "wander" off topic. (3 words per post)
6. Please, don't spam in any other forum but the spam forum.
Administrators, feel free to comment. Otherwise, please don't comment..
Thank You.
George :P

I did not get 1000 posts just to become an admin if that's what you're thinking.
EDIT: Also, I think tht there are too many admins and too little mods. And there should be a 1:5 ratio between mods:members
Cone Potter - September 14, 2003 07:00 PM (GMT)
WTF are you talking about? We're very active. And I'm a co-owner of this board.
Curveball - September 14, 2003 07:05 PM (GMT)
He's talking about inactive mebers.
Cone Potter - September 14, 2003 07:06 PM (GMT)
No. I mean this board is at it's prime! We're not closing!
Curveball - September 14, 2003 07:08 PM (GMT)
He's saying that we need to pass on the word.
Cone Potter - September 14, 2003 07:10 PM (GMT)
But we're not dying. We ahve 63 members.
Curveball - September 14, 2003 07:10 PM (GMT)
Cone Potter - September 14, 2003 07:14 PM (GMT)
so.... This is copied from a thread back in June.
Curveball - September 14, 2003 07:16 PM (GMT)
How am I supposed to know?
Curveball - September 14, 2003 07:18 PM (GMT)
I think we have a good number of staff and shouldn't add to it anymore. I also think that we have too many administrators and they should be dropped to mods instead.
Cone Potter - September 14, 2003 07:20 PM (GMT)
Yeah. Some should. I'll talk to Creator about it.
Curveball - September 14, 2003 07:22 PM (GMT)
I'm sick of seeing a colored name for every member here who's ever online.
Cone Potter - September 14, 2003 07:27 PM (GMT)
Curveball - September 14, 2003 07:32 PM (GMT)
No, I'm pointing out that almost every active maember here is on the staff.
Cone Potter - September 14, 2003 07:33 PM (GMT)
Well, staff are always the most active.
Curveball - September 14, 2003 07:34 PM (GMT)
There's too much staff! End of story.

Except for me, becasue i'm too cool! :lol:
Cone Potter - September 14, 2003 07:37 PM (GMT)
Yep. You're an active member.
Curveball - September 14, 2003 07:37 PM (GMT)
No Acidman is an undercover mod. ;)
Curveball - September 14, 2003 07:45 PM (GMT)
Curveball - September 14, 2003 09:10 PM (GMT)
We should have Trainee moderators for members who might want to becaome a mod.
Acidman - September 14, 2003 09:43 PM (GMT)
Whoa! Sweet can i be a Trainee?
Curveball - September 14, 2003 09:45 PM (GMT)
It hasn't been passed. I also can't make you one.
Acidman - September 14, 2003 09:46 PM (GMT)
Oh well that's ok, i hope it does get passed.
Curveball - September 14, 2003 09:46 PM (GMT)
Acidman - September 14, 2003 09:49 PM (GMT)
I think so too, because members can then show the Staff that they are responsible enough to Moderate some forums and not just go around and delete threads and ban members.
Curveball - September 14, 2003 09:50 PM (GMT)
We need to demote some admins first.
Acidman - September 14, 2003 09:52 PM (GMT)
Demote?!? Have some Admins not been acting like true Admins lately or what?
Curveball - September 14, 2003 10:03 PM (GMT)
No, We just have too many. Batman has been acting up though and Creator had to tell him something.
pinchy - September 14, 2003 11:26 PM (GMT)
If admins get dropped down to mods then the number of staff will still remain the same so I don't see how that solves anything... unless some of the mods are demoted too.
Curveball - September 14, 2003 11:28 PM (GMT)
That's my point. We have too many admins. We have very few moderators.
pinchy - September 14, 2003 11:43 PM (GMT)
Admins can still moderate things (i've still got the Mod CP), admins should still be included when counting the number of mods (so we really have heaps of mods).
Curveball - September 14, 2003 11:46 PM (GMT)
Well, lets not add to our staff for a long time.
pinchy - September 14, 2003 11:50 PM (GMT)
I have to agree that it would be nice to have a few more members, we've been getting quite a few lately which is good. :)
Curveball - September 14, 2003 11:50 PM (GMT)
I referred Acidman and Princess2345.
Cone Potter - September 15, 2003 12:38 AM (GMT)
I know. If you keep uo getting members from GT planet to coem here, this froum willl be around for a long time.
George - September 15, 2003 12:56 AM (GMT)
This is going where I didn't want it to go. Why can't I win? Why? Tell me why!
George :P
Cone Potter - September 15, 2003 12:57 AM (GMT)
Huh? We're thinking of options to save the forum.
George - September 15, 2003 11:32 AM (GMT)
OK, so let's face the facts. We don't have enough members. We have to many administrators. We have to few moderators. We shouldn't get more staff. That won't help. I don't know how to say this....but someone, somewhere, needs to get demoted until we get more members. When we get more members, they can have their spot back. I'm not sure, though. I'd like a word from Creator on this.....?
George :P
