Rearing my head in this thread to say I completely agree with JayDee on all the points he made there and gave him my vote. And I barely care about all the politics that goes on on this forum.

And if you're thinking that someone who is openly antagonistic to members of this forum, new or old, walks a "neutral line" or would make a good moderator then that's your prerogative, but don't try to make it anyone else's.
I cast my vote. Take offence at Vlam, if you please—even though I think most opinions about him are entirely biased and skewered to make him seem the bad guy without recognising all of the abuse he received upon joining the forum, most of it inspired by his language barrier—but there's no need to attack my vote.

:
This is a member who has openly complained about the influx of new members multiple times and is vehemently against any kind of improvement to these forums whatsoever.
He thinks most of them are here for the ARG and couldn't care less about OWF. He is right. Most of them have gone silent and will return only once the ARG is operational again.

I've spoken to Vlam several times about the state of the forums and what can be done to improve it. Believe it or not, but Vlam was the catalyst for my OWF Rebirth thread; the very thread that inevitably voiced the need for another moderator.

However, I don't think another moderator is going to solve the flagrant issues of this forum. They might be able to quell a couple of multiple accounts and stop the porn, but I don't think they're going to encourage a revolution. What we need is a sense of community reinforced with continuity, hence the introduction of "Odd Piece of the Week", and the re-conceptualisation of interactivity between the members, via Dungeons & Dragons and hopefully more varied games to come. The solution to a functioning, fun, fascinating forum is based on content and relevance. If we can encourage such an attitude and forge a bond between as many of our members as possible—instead of encouraging our own version of the Schism—then we will have the OWF we all desire.

But I must insist as my first duty, for you to change your vote to yourself. As much as I love Kevin, this is in your best interest for your campaign.

I'm trying to understand what you're insinuating by this. Would you care to elaborate?

No, probably because she's actually a good business manager.

You were literally the first one to reply to this thread and you said you voted for Manco already. So this is a change of vote, not just a vote.

Since we're all apparently allowed to change our votes, fuck it. I'm voting Jaydee now. Sorry Manco, but you've only got like four at the most and Jaydee's last post was really convincing of his character. He seems more intelligent and more mature than most right now. Count me one less vote for a third party.

Honestly it's alarming why so many people are getting so butthurt over this - it's just a forum mod. We need another mod, don't deny it. It won't make the forums more active, but it will make it a bit cleaner, as it will be nice to have at least one other person available to see the spam reports and ban the trolls a little quicker.

As for cliques, it's clear to me now that Vlam and Carpenter are working together against Jaydee for some reason, and I take offense to this kind of stupidness. I don't care what kind of invisible war you guys are having, this is petty and it needs to stop.

I never dissented against JayDee. I take issue with the fact he seems more upset that I voted for Vlam than with Vlam himself.

That's my issue. He doesn't like the fact I voted for Vlam, for my own reasons, which is his personal grievance, not mine.

I am by no means a multi. I'm a recovering lurker who was here since like 2003 off and on, but only just recently made an actual account and am only just now inserting myself into this community.

Yeah and for the most part, you've basically just been using this thread to shit on other people, so I suppose that statement makes sense.

the problem is kevin, that you did not vote for the correct candidate, so your vote will now be discarded.

His first vote was fasetious. Just like everyone else who began voting in the begining. What this thread needs is to be restarted for a serious approach. No one thought anything would come of this, but now people are seeing change happen, it's spread all over the place and becoming hostile.

:
... as it will be nice to have at least one other person available to see the spam reports and ban the trolls a little quicker.
So you? I'm sorry, no one just sits and "lurks" for thirteen years! I was an original third party observer as well, and watched the monkeys in the cage until I thought it was safe to enter. I have only been doing this for about four years though, minus my two months of residency here now. You're either a multi or you're lying. Frankly, I believe the latter.

You also post far too much to be taken even remotely seriously.

This isn't the American Presidential Elections. It's for a mod on a beaten old forum. Why are you trying to start a conspiracy theory?

I'm unsure what evidence you're basing this off of considering Vlam never had a welcome thread. A simple search on anyone's profile can reveal that. He joined in 2003 and didn't consisently post until NnT's announcement circa 2015, 9 posts from 2003 to 2014, none of which were ever in a welcome thread. There's some forum navigational skills.

You'd rather refuse newer people's rights to be here - a site which OWI themselves linked their audience to - in favour of inclusive change that only benefits the forum members who are already here. The only one of your original suggestions from your "An Opportunity for OWF's Rebirth" to gain any footing was Dungeons & Dragons, which as of yet has exactly zero usage from any of the newer members besides MrsKJJ. So I don't think it's fair you ride that wave.

Any company in the world knows that you're doomed to failure by not appealing to any potential newer adopters of your product. Apple don't care whether you were there from iPhone 1 or iPhone 6; you're either part of the constant, or part of the increase. You don't become popular by appealing to the same circle of people, no matter how many fun games you play.

:
However, I don't think another moderator is going to solve the flagrant issues of this forum. They might be able to quell a couple of multiple accounts and stop the porn, but I don't think they're going to encourage a revolution. What we need is a sense of community reinforced with continuity, hence the introduction of "Odd Piece of the Week", and the re-conceptualisation of interactivity between the members, via Dungeons & Dragons and hopefully more varied games to come.

If we can encourage such an attitude and forge a bond between as many of our members as possible—instead of encouraging our own version of the Schism—then we will have the OWF we all desire.
I don't understand how you can claim a succesful forum is based on relevance when the majority of the newer members are here for the ARG (The most relevance this forum has had from Oddworld Inhabitants since our tiny mention in New N' Tasty's end credits). There's no use forging bonds between members that have already consistently been on the forums together for years, whilst sumiltaneously neglecting and shunning all the newer people who arrive here, ARG or not.

I feel like there's an issue with consistency here, whilst Vlam has consistently tried to sway the forums away from any kind of progress, others have been consistently trying to improve it. You are not the first person to try to change OWF for the better, so I don't feel as though you should consider yourself yo have all the credit for your few successful suggestions. This almost exact same situation happened in 2015 when STM proposed the idea, and you know what I did? I made the flag. And again I was consistently trying to improve the environment of the forums.

I'm not upset that you voted for Vlam. You have the right to vote for whoever you like. But I am able to complain when you vote for the literal antithesis of progress on the forums.

He rejoined in 2015 under "vlam". Nate later merged his account with his original "Vlam", as account names are case-sensitive.

EDIT: His original account may not having been "Vlam", but the point still stands.

The community doesn't have to be monumental. It just has to be enjoyable, and so far, everyone involved is enjoying themselves. To quote Lorne Lanning:

:
A small success is still a success.
:
You are not the first person to try to change OWF for the better, so I don't feel as though you should consider yourself yo have all the credit for your few successful suggestions.
You're putting words in my mouth again. You have a habit of that. I don't consider myself any more important than anyone else on this Forum.

:

A little overdramatic, but I literally would not have had a problem with anything you said if you didn't directly attack my right to vote.

Honestly a part of me agrees... I feel like this thread has turned to shit at this point and everyone's just fucking around or getting butthurt. But I fear if we make another thread, the same jokers will joke around with their joke votes again because the joke has to be kept alive.

:
I'm sorry, no one just sits and "lurks" for thirteen years! ... You're either a multi or you're lying. Frankly, I believe the latter.
I'm starting to take offense to this accusation. I am not a multi. I wrote a detailed welcome thread, I explained myself and that's that. I'm more socially awkward than most. But I am most certainly not a liar.

If someone has started some kind of rumor about me, I would appreciate it if they would have the spine to confront me to my face. I've even shown my face in the What Do You Look Like thread. My name is Anthony Garcia. Stop it.

I actually /have/ lurked for over 13 years. I found this place when I was a stupid little kid and I never bothered to actually get into it myself. I mostly just stuck around to read the Work at Rupture Farms RPG from years ago.

:
You also post far too much to be taken even remotely seriously.
Thanks....? I'm not sure how to respond to this. If you're saying I post too often to be a lurker - that's an ironic assessment. I'm not a lurker /anymore/. I'm here now. When someone remains quiet for so many years as I have, you should only expect them to never shut the fuck up once they actually have a voice.

I don't just post often, I write WALLS of text and I enjoy it that way. I will not be contained by the shadows anymore and I hope to be taken seriously now.



:
This isn't the American Presidential Elections. It's for a mod on a beaten old forum. Why are you trying to start a conspiracy theory?
That's really ironic because I just recently argued that point to someone in a PM.... This thread is being taken WAY too seriously - as if it's a presidential election.

I may be mistaken about what exactly is going on behind the scenes here, but I'm not just pulling things out of my ass - I'm reacting to some things I've seen. And I've seen some shit that warranted my suspicion. If I misinterpreted, then I apologize. But something smells fishy in this thread.

I am trying to have my go at fracturing OWF, but everyone has already done it...

Honestly a part of me agrees... I feel like this thread has turned to shit at this point and everyone's just fucking around or getting butthurt. But I fear if we make another thread, the same jokers will joke around with their joke votes again because the joke has to be kept alive.
That basically sums it up. At the point it is now though, nothing will come of it. We either restart, or we just scrap it entirely and forget. People thought it was a joke, whether or not this is because change scares them, but it was treated as a joke and has grown as such.

:
I'm starting to take offense to this accusation. I am not a multi. I wrote a detailed welcome thread, I explained myself and that's that. I'm more socially awkward than most. But I am most certainly not a liar.
I apologise for this, I did not see it. I will add though that we have had many-a-multi make a similar thread too, *cough* MA *cough*, so it doesn't necessarily single you out as an individual. I made one too at the beginning of this year, and was believed to just be a sock account for kjjcarpenter.

I don't hide though, like some of our members. If you want an opinionated presence on the internet, then you shouldn't hide behind a username. You should monitor your digital footprint to be proud of it, and present yourself as yourself. I remember the shit storm that occurred when YouTube and Google linked and changed all usernames to real names. Mass panic was everywhere and more than 95% of these people changed it back, faking their names on Google. As far as I'm concerned if you have a strong opinion about something, then you shouldn't be afraid to back up your claim with yourself. If you wouldn't say it in person, then it shouldn't be posted. Which leads me to the next part.

:
If someone has started some kind of rumor about me, I would appreciate it if they would have the spine to confront me to my face. I've even shown my face in the What Do You Look Like thread. My name is Anthony Garcia. Stop it.
I wouldn't know who started the rumour, but as far as I can tell it's started for all new members who partake in more than just the ARG. Showing your face helps. Simply remain a constant in the forums, so they can see you're here for more than the ARG, and you will be welcomed. Remember what I said about the monkeys, I wasn't lying. If you are who you say you are, then everyone will drop it. Trust me.

Welcome Anthony, my name is Crystal.

:
I don't just post often, I write WALLS of text and I enjoy it that way. I will not be contained by the shadows anymore and I hope to be taken seriously now.
And walls of text was what I meant. Reading scares some of these members ...

:
That's really ironic because I just recently argued that point to someone in a PM.... This thread is being taken WAY too seriously - as if it's a presidential election.

I may be mistaken about what exactly is going on behind the scenes here, but I'm not just pulling things out of my ass - I'm reacting to some things I've seen. And I've seen some shit that warranted my suspicion. If I misinterpreted, then I apologize. But something smells fishy in this thread.
If I could, I would advise you to stay out of the politics of OWF, but it is a bit too late for that. The members of these forums, while all lovely in their own ways, can be very opinionated, and unfortunately if your opinion opposes theirs, you're bound to get into an argument.

The thread has a right to be taken seriously. It's an important job on offer that would need to be taken as such, but what has happened is exactly what I said before. People thought it was a joke, and now it has created war. The job does have to be filled, but something that does have to made aware, is that it should be filled by someone who remains objective. We need an administrative member who does not get riled up and attack whenever something happens that they don't approve of, no matter what it is. Xavier and Nate do fantastic jobs, now everyone else has the harder job of finding someone like them. Fennec is a good option, and I admire her passiveness, but she's too busy for the role. I hope she can focus on her future career rather than be Super Nanny here.

I do need you to clarify what you mean by you seeing things that have warranted your suspicion, and what exactly smells fishy? I'm actually confused here.

Hire MrsKJJ as a new moderator. She seems to be deliberate.

She posts slowly, with intent.

The politics in this thread are getting pretty ridiculous now. It's a mod position on a near dead forum, you're not going to be leading a country.

I don't think you're gonna get a lot of votes with that attitude, sir.
