Changes to the Forums
 

After listening to much debate and bitching, I made some changes to the structure of the forums.

1. I've lumped the gaming forums into one called "FPS Gaming General Discussion".

2. I've moved some stickies to relevant forums (e.g. Desktop to the Art forum)

3. I relegated some lesser used sections to the Goner section that you may or may not be able to see (depending on your permissions). These forums haven't been deleted, just sent to the minors.

Now, is this cool with everyone because my sole purpose in life is to make you fuckers happy.

can you add a #4 of "the banning of Duffy"?

There are other boards other than OT?

1. As annoying as Duffy is most times, he hasn't done anything ban-worthy yet.

2. Yes, but now there are fewer of them to sift through.

3. STFU

Should remove the tech forum and shift the sticky into here, its pointless having a forum subsection to something that can be handled by one post. spank:

Wasn't part of the issue to reduce the number of sticky threads in here? eek:

5. STFU

Well the sticky thing was mainly due to blitz complaining about the movie thread not being stickied, its still not a sticky so he might continue. ban:

spank: biggrin:

So BLITZ complains and the only thread in this forum that ISNT polluted by spam gets moved. . .ab-so-fucking-standing. . .

rolleyes:

You wanted changes so I made changes. You can all go suck a fucking moose cock.

Ab-so-fucking-standing? What the fuck does THAT mean?

Goddamned ingrates.

looks a helluva lot cleaner to me, of course I link to the main forum page everytime, not just OT( i assume some just link right to here)

GGs mang beer:

There. Your precious Photography thread is back here. Happy now? All squared away? Good.

Now, blow me.

So wait, there are other boards than just OT?

I was on browsing on autopilot and went straight into the CoD Maps, Mods & Skins forum; for a second I thought some superelitehacker had deleted offtopic. ed:

Nope.

Nice job Zoner. beer:

please

I think the Supply Officers forum is a bit outdated..

[quote="TGB!":3f6c6]Or next time, go to the Officers Forum and allow a discussion of such by the people who actually are meant to police this place.[/quote:3f6c6]
...and I'd probably get "Ban Duffy" quoted ad nauseum. No thanks. When I want your opinions, I'll ask for them.

My bad for assuming that you were possessed of the ability to filter the signal from the noise. Apologies for giving you too much credit.

Hmm. This GF1 staff needs help. loney:

Would it be too much to ask that the lounge category be moved to the top of the forum? So over the gaming category.

Looks tidyier though

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'll have to run it by TGB first though.

lol

oOo:

You are an Admin, no?

So they tell me.

Right. There's a reason you're an Admin. And as Admin, you pretty much can do whatever you want here for the good of GF1 and it's members. You also don't exactly need advice from other staff members or be talked down to from them, nor do you need their permission to do what you feel is right here.

I guess what I'm saying is, pay TGB no mind when he's pissy.

stfu dude. You have to learn how to read sarcasm.

More active than me? Dude, seriously. You pop in every now and then, spread some malcontent and leave for weeks. Don't lecture me about being inactive. I'm here pretty much 9-5 every weekday for chrissakes! I do more work here than I do at my paying job.

I'm all for adding another admin, but I'm not sure who. Last time I added an admin...well, we all know what happened there.

The forum needed changing, so i got the job done and changed it. I didn;t feel like going in front of a committee.

Hi.

seems all nice and tidy, good as ever. needs a hentai/furry porn sub section though

nag:

Duly noted. biggrin:

The changes are tiny and fine, no need to barely mention them really.
This forum never, ever changes and has absolutely no direction at all but we never complain really. Time to move on calmdown:

99% of the problem is the fact that it's Badscript's forum. Nothing wrong with the guy personally other than the fact that he's never here and really only pays the bills.

I'm the admin, but I don't have access to the database, through which I could add things like games and shit. I'd love to do the sorts of things Simo has implemented at 92b (Kaboom 4tw!), but I can't.

Anything I can do with the forums is purely cosmetic or permissions based (changing usernames, banning, word censors, etc). Other than that, my hands are tied.

Maybe you should contact Badscript and ask for certain permissions that he has.

I don't think it's a matter of permissions, though. It's a matter of being able to physically alter the database. I really don't know.

I've contacted Badscript about stuff before, but I usually don't hear from him. Example, the spambot users. The database must be chock full of them by now, but they aren't getting cleaned out or blocked in any way. I asked for this months ago.

Hmm. Sounds like he just pays the bills and doesn't really give two shits how this place is run or about it's members.

Ftp access and access to the database through phpmyadmin

I'm sure the forum would run so much better without all the spam in it.

Badscript is an ass. Yes he pays the bills but for fucks sake he should at least answer emails.

Wonder how much he pays for it.....maybe we should spam his inbox and see if he does anything about it......

[quote="mr.miyagi":139a9]I'm sure the forum would run so much better without all the spam in it. [/quote:139a9]Yeah but, without the spam GF1 would be nothing.

[quote="mr.miyagi":139a9]Badscript is an ass. Yes he pays the bills but for fucks sake he should at least answer emails.[/quote:139a9]Yeah, I'm kind of surprised to learn that he'll pay the bills then abandon the place.

You must respect the man for paying the bills.
