I really dont see how. Its fun, fun for all the family. I wouldn't exactly say they were insulting....
|
This is great, the sad day topic has been closed Sid has gone from Admin to just Forum founder, he can no longer receive pm's (unless he chose to but I doubt it) things are just getting worst.

Ok, that was a lie...i dont really. Did you also notice Pilot has gone up a notch, that little tinka... |

We'll wait around for a bit. . . I'm sure something will come along, don't worry. :)

      Hah! You know, when myself, Kristen and Peter saw what you've done, we actually found it very humorous and funny! These forums are about free speech and expression (to the limits of my ISP), and we have the perspicacity to be able to take jokes about ourselves with lightheartedness! Good one Jacob. :)
Oh, and I am going to remain a Super Mod for the time being. After all, I was NOT attempting to usurp Sydney' spot. Peter simply modified the names on the front page to make Super Mods italicised. I have no need to be an administrator at this time. |
I noticed the fonts were changed for a Super Mod to be like the admins. I also noticed the topic was closed while I was replying;) It was all a misunderstanding, and I'm sad to see Sydney leave over it.
|
It's okay, I haven't left. I'm just no longer an Administrator. Essentially, I'm a regular member now.
|
Ah.... Thats good. But you were demoted form even mod now also? As long as your ok with yourself like this, I s'pose its fine. If not, then there'll probably be another topic opened, and mroe outrages.
|
Yes, I'm as powerless as you. I didn't resign willingly. The truth is that there's nothing I can do about it, and complaining would likely result in censorship from the new administration.
|
I'm very sorry to hear that, because the way things were, I still say it was a misunderstanding. I say that to much don't I... Anyways, I'm sure there will be more topics coming up, with only Justin and Abe Babe around for OT it would be hard to squash if a mass effort were to be induced. Shame you don't even get a proper forum dmotion ceremony, where you get free cookies and flowers.

Hmmm...I wonder if im still on probation *Flash of flame in eyes* |
      Jacob, consider yourself off probation. I think you can handle yourself maturely from now on.

Speaking of Flames. . .

Wow, Eddies pic really had me scared for a sec... and Crhis's of his contract thingy, thats good. Erm, yay?
|
      Oh my! .. oh wait! Heh, that's pretty good Eddy. Your unsupportive attitude is quite colorful.
|
Oh my, that is funny!!!
Hehe! :) Alcar... |
The flames look good, although the sea could do with some work...
|
Yeah, I spent ages doing the sea, and it still ended up lookign crap. . . Oh well, at least I haven't forgotten my airbrush skills. :)

I'd just like to say, there are many changes ahead. Alcar... |
Danny's right, Peter. You know as well as I do that Kristen would never have done what she did if it weren't for Justin. It seems that if you're not an Oddworld Fan, these people don't want to be your friend.
I thought I'd let people know that yesterday I was banned temporarily. It was only after talking to Kristen, the only half-sensible one of the lot, that the ban was lifted. I'd like to make the understandable demand that at least one change to happen around here is the removal of the graphics and colour schemes I created for this place. I feel dirty knowing that my artwork remains here even after the forums were hijacked. I'll give you seven days. |
You were banned? Being taken from admin is bad enough, but being banned is just crazy. I don't see why you were banned, either. Was your last post in the "Sad today" topic that offending to Justin?
|

I agree, the banning was extreme....But I still find it ironic that Syd of all people is complaining about unjust bannings...
|
      Actually Sydney, you're mistaken. It was my own sensible self who decided to lift the ban from you... after all, doing what you did to other members (banning for petty reasons) would still be wrong of me.
      Yes, I do plan on changing the color schemes and logo, as well as many other things to make the forums a more actively member-involved forum.       People are resistant to change; yes they are. But without change, there is no progress.       On another note, I do not have time to "fully administrate" these forums, so therefore I will not be advancing my status. Kristen will be the only administrator at this time.       And Sydney, I consider everyone my friend unless they prove themselves otherwise. One becomes ineffective when they remove themselves from a determined amount of society. Also, the things I say are there for everyone's reading pleasure only. I am not trying to push beliefs onto anyone, and nobody should be criticised for having their own. |
As Justin and Peter have already said, I am the only administrator. Justin simply has the title "Server Admin" because that is the kind of admin he has always been seeing the hosting is on his server, he's not an actual forum administrator. Justin remains a Super Mod and we have also made Peter a Super Mod as you may have already noticed. He will be assisting in any php related issues, and has already implimented a Signature Preview pane under the User Control Panel. All other moderators remain at this point in time unless for some reason they wish to step down.
I also want to let everyone know, that although the administrative structure has changed, we plan on Oddworld Forums being your forums. Being run by the members. One of the first things we talked about yesterday and plan to impliment is a feedback and suggestions forum. We encourage members to provide their input, as to what they want out of Oddworld Forums, or to tell us about any problems, etc. We also want to put more Oddworld focus back into the forums, and perhaps provide discussion for Oddworld related real-world issues. We have other ideas too, but we'll have to see what happens. Sydney, we appreciate that you want us to change the design of the forums. Originally I was intending to keep the current design out of respect. But it's also exciting to be able to work on a new design. I am also going to look into the possibility of creating two designs, a standard forum design, and an Oddworld-Web layout. This way, users could decide which design they like best and are able to use the one of their liking. I realize that so far there are some who are hesitant and unsure of the change. People don't like change ... even myself has found it difficult to adapt to change in the past. It's just like the Xbox... many opposed it, but now you don't hear many complaining like in the past. We are entering a new era for Oddworld Forums, and one that we are going to put all our efforts into to make Oddworld forums a place for everyone. Abe Babe... Administrator |
