Moderator Changes - Hurrah for Xav!
 

As you may have noticed, we got hit by spambots in OT yesterday and today. I think we need more than one active moderator who has powers in the entire forum. To that end, Xavier has now been promoted to Administrator. Congrats to Xav!

At the same time, I've removed Wings of Fire and dripik as moderators. Splat is still a moderator, as he seems to pop by now and then. We are now officially a forum with more admins than regular moderators. Which is fun.

In other news, I've changed the settings so that new members must be approved by Xav or me before being able to post. That'll put a crimp on the spambot menace for the moment.

Hurray! No more spam-bots!

You're the best. All those threads were awful. But I think we have a bigger issue. The lack of activity on the forums.

I heard about something called "Discord".

Oh great, so we're back to that :fuzemb:

It's a temporary measure, or so it seems. I'm okay with that, until Alcar finally gives up to the torture and upgrade the forums

Damn you, I don't want to make the move to discord.

Nobody else is allowed in the Discord. There's too many spam bots.

Grats Xav and thanks for taking care of the bots Nate.

Ehhh Discord isn't all that bad. Chatboxes are better for just gossiping and talking than forums are, since threads generally require a set topic to discuss.

I've been on lots of forums that had a (non-Discord) cbox linked on the forum itself, though that would require actually editing the site and Alcar is long-gone, so that might not be a viable option.

Thanks guys, I'll try not to break everything with those super duper awesome new powers of mine... :p

Congrats! I want Xav's title when it gets changed to Administrator. None of the privileges or responsibilities, just the nice blue and "Super Moderator" sounds like a C-list Superhero

Lmao, look at all the active topics the bots pushed off the front page.

I guess that "trial-by-fire-camaraderie" approach really worked out for this place.

I wanted to resign for ages, but I just couldn't be bothered, so thanks. Fan Corner has been pretty much dead for years now with the exception of the occasional post. I can't relate to anything or anyone here anymore, so it's just as well.

EDIT: My profile still says I'm a mod btw.

See you next year, dripik!

.

Whoops. Thanks for reminding me.

Update: I'm not dead

I thought I owed you all at least that much

I remember you!

Your Wings of Fire!

What about his Wings of Fire?

He remembers them.

I tried to send you a message on Facebook to let you know. Thought you should hear it from me and not be surprised when you visited.

You should get on Facebook chat more. :)
