Wednesday Will Be A Big Day!

Postby scarr3d on Mon Oct 29, 2007 5:23 pm

UPDATE: The changes that I was planning to do today aren't going to happen due to me being not 100% ready for them and I woke up with a cold this morning and I really don't have the energy to do so.

Depending on what happens, I might be able to do them tommorrow, sorry guys.


Ok, so I've decided that Wednesday will be the day that I will be making the following changes to the site so please pay attention:

THE FORUMS MAY GET CLOSED FOR A LITTLE WHILE WHILE SOME OF THESE CHANGES ARE BEING MADE! I APPOLOGISE IF THIS CAUSES AN INCONVENIENCE FOR YOU, BUT IT'S NECESSARY FOR ME TO DO SO.

I DON'T MEAN TO YELL BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN AND AKNOWLEDGED AND I DON'T THINK I SPELT AKNOWLEDGED RIGHT.


- I will be adding some new styles to the website and also making a new thread in the Suggestions and Feedback forum with examples of a heap of new styles that will be voted on.

Details will be outlined in the thread when it's made.

- I will be adding quite a few new forums to the list which will give everyone a wider choice of discussion. This is not just a music forum, it's about a large variety of topics, music is just a common interest of all the users so far.

Any topics that fit into these new categories will be moved. This may take some time and I appologise if the forums become closed while this is happening.

Now this brings a new... Problem to the forums because I don't have many moderators at the moment and after the new forums come in the rate of new threads and posts will increase dramatically and I (And Aqua Dementia as well) can't single-handedly moderate every forum because it's just too big of a task.

I will be asking for more moderators in a new thread in this forum (Announcements and Notices) so if you're interested, please check it out. Not everyone will be eligable for the job and I will decide based on a very strict criteria who will and who won't get to be a moderator.

- I will be getting rid of the word censor. I had it there to make the forums alot more 'user friendly' but I've since realised that it's not that big of a deal and that it's just text. Although, this doesn't give you the right to use highly abusive words every chance you get, anything like that will get you warned. There is a fine line between expression and downright rudeness.

I am also not sure if previous words that were censored will become un-censored, but we'll see.

I've run out of time to type this, but I shall add to it later tonight.

PLEASE POST A REPLY IF YOU HAVE READ THIS SO THAT I KNOW WHO HAS AND WHO HASN'T.
IF YOU DON'T REPLY TO THIS YOUR OPINIONS WILL NOT BE COUNTED INTO THE FINAL DECISIONS THAT MAY BE MADE.

you sure did, its missing a 'c' :lol:

i've read all of it. and also could you close it for the next two-to-three weeks as well so i have one less distraction for studying for exams? :wink:

on a more serious note... its good to see that your taking the democratic route when choosing styles, and hopefully we can have democratic polls or discussion when adding big changes. (not little changes cause that would just be annoying).

...

Are you taking over? Or are you taking orders?
Are you going backwards? Or are you going forwards?

Thanks for reading and picking up on that for me pringa ;) Although, I'll keep it there so that other people have to read it to notice, thereby getting sucked in to reading the whole thing.

A for closing it for exams, I don't know if that will be possible ;)

And I try to take a formal and democratic approach to things, I can't help it :)

I'm deditcating the whole day to doing this, although it shouldn't take that long, it'll be a big job though. It should go ok though :)

And I haven't started the thread just yet, tomorrow (Tuesday, or maybe even later on tonight depending what happens) I'll have it up so that you get a good 24 hours at least to check them out and decide.

Cheers :)

Cool man, quick question though (before the appropriate thread is opened), what sort of criteria are potential moderators going to be judged on?

Not that I'm interested or anything....

:lol:

Yeah, I've kept that in mind, don't worry ;)
And yeah, it is a bit dead at the moment... It might pick up soon, I was going to post in it before, but I didn't think it was all that important (My problem that is, just something that's been answered a billion times before) so I didn't, but new developments may change that, we'll soon see.

We just need more members I think, it's all quite slow, and very few people of a total population ever want relationship help, very few of 30 (I think thats how many members we've got here) is a very small number indeed!

Agreed, although to tell you the truth, I kinda like the small number of members... In a way.
It's a big change from the likes of UG, but a few more members couldn't hurt :)

That's true, this feels more like a gathering of people, as opposed to a huge free-for all forum.

UG updates so often that it's pretty much impossible to keep track of!

This place is much more personal, which I like!
