What The Fuck

[Galleleo]

I will say it again, what is all the whining about the new Theme about, it has been around for quite a while now.. I have seen more then enough people say something like obligatory white text not hidden by the child of trench wars style. So I don't get that whining, seeing as the theme has been around for a while but was only recently completely finished. Next to that it's soooo easy to change the theme, any forum goer should know that.

I do however get the whining about the name changes, because I don't see any reason for it whatsoever. No one complained about them, no one was saying that they were ow so sucky and we needed a change for it. Not only did we not need a change, but the titles it changed into are horrible.

I love how DTF has 2 threads with the word fuck in the titles :wub:

[Squeezer]

Can we seriously get new forum mods please?

I don't care, let Face and LB do it. Anyone but the current one's with their high and mighty attitudes.

[Salubrious]

Yea I hate Kim, Concreteschlyrd, and Nailed. Let's lynch them and their high and mighty attitudes.

You're right. My apologies for generalizing. Not all of the mods here act like total d-bags at every opportunity.

But, in all actuallity, and intending no offense, Conc. and Kim aren't consistantely online. Sure, they make it in more often than DG and Rudy, who only ever come here to change shit up and defend their position, but they still aren't everyday mods for the people like Zeus was. I just want someone that wouldn't mind doing their job while they browsed the forums. Someone that doesn't have a self-righteous stick up their ass all the time.

I have no qualms about their jobs, the only problem is that they're the ones making all the changes without any of the participation. We need mods that know what's best, and what's desired by the people.

I dunno, I think I'm actually the only person who isn't going bat shit crazy over colours.

Just an FYI: You can change your themes back in Options to before.

[Bilbo]

We need that killat to come here and talk about his homebrew recipes.

Ps. Zeus was/is a major fag.

You need to read my posts if you think that.

You guys aren't helping any.
You're repeating each other, telling us over and over how much they suck. We get it, you don't like it!

Instead, give us suggestions of some alternative titles and descriptions. We spent maybe an hour thinking them up, as we thought they needed a little revamping to go with the launch of the new, complete skin. Sure everything was simple beforehand and we're still trying to maintain that element while also looking to tie in the zone with the forum in some zany spaceship oriented fashion. Why? Because it's a forum for a 2d spaceship game. That's more than enough reason right there. Hell, ssforums stole the idea of the Wormhole right from my thought synapsis days after I originally suggested all this to DG. You don't see their members whining about it. Harden the fuck up.

Admit it, they were getting stale and was already pretty sad. For example, I had trouble keeping down my lunch every time I read Musical Differences on my screen. ZeUs knows his shit, but I fear that he was suffering from the disease known as sobriety when he had that particular subforum created.

So work with us here. Give us some constructive criticism for once. We're trying to provide you with some kind of positive experience that doesn't involve a social lynching you can beat off to. Not everything has to be a Goddamn soap opera.

As for that clause we added to the rules, I prefer it not need be exercised.
Essentially it is a safety net that states if you post material that is not suitable for these forums, but would normally escape moderation due to a technicality, it is no longer protected. We're going to be bringing in a couple of new forum smods to do the moderating grunt work that I can't seem to get away from. The last thing I want for them is to feel uncomfortable doing their job with you ravenous vultures hovering over them whenever they come across something questionable.
I'm sure she won't mind me quoting this, but DG summed up both our stances on this when she said...
If you find it in you to disagree with that statement, you need a smack in the head.

Why don't people who actually use the forums to make the decisions about the forums/administer them. If you and DG would be more active in the forums, you would see what people actually want, rather than changing without any say to the people who are actually subject to these changes.

But, as your sig says, "The people you're after are the people you depend on. We host your events, organise your leagues, we answer your calls, we maintain order. We humour your shit. Do not fuck with us."

But, I guess we all depend on you, so therefore anything you say goes, since your TW's god I suppose. I guess that makes me have another thing to be thankful for this season for quitting TW.

Oh, for your constructive criticism, try to let people who actually participate in TW, meaning play in the events, are active, and willing to talk to TW's normal players run TW, rather than isolated people who keep themselves in a high holy place in staff. Same applies for forum staff.

In addition to the above rules, please be aware that for what is considered the general good of the forums, moderators may warn and enforce for activities not listed but generally violating the perceived spirit of the forums, as seen fit by individual moderators. This is to be done on a subjective basis at the discretion of forum staff, may be subject to human error, but as long as it is done by and large for the benefit of the majority of forum users, will be ruled a valid and legal form of moderation.

"I don't care what my stance used to be or if I removed the last guy for doing this. Now that it's me doing it, it's A-OK!"

Heh II

(Who had January in the rule change pool, by the way?)

I don't want the job back.
I do want google to cache this for posterity though:

DangerGirl is a hypocritical pussy.

(Added on the last so I can get my warning.)

[Stabwound]

I really think that people are complaining just for the sake of complaining. Does it really matter what the forum descriptions are? Does it really matter what the forum theme is, when it takes about 10 seconds to change it back in your user CP?

Come on; it's just a forum. People seem to go nuts over the forums more than the actual space game.

Don't get me wrong; I don't like the changes much, either, but I don't think it's worth getting into a big outrage over when the theme can easily be changed back to how it used to be.

[Subjugation]

Refer to Face's post, Stab. It's not about the changes---It's about they way they're being made, who's making them, and the related bullshit leading all the way back to the Sarien issue.

[Asmodeus]

I'm not too keen on the new forum titles either. The old ones were fine. Rudy commented on the forum name "Musical Differences." Couldn't we just rename it "Music"? "Tech Support" is better than ?help for when I think of ?help I think TW help, not Continuum help. When I saw "F1" I was thinking of the racing event in TW, not TW help. "Trash Talk" is a better name than "Death Threats" too if you ask me. "Pub Chat" works for me. "Ear Candy"...meh. I would have used "Music" like there is "Sports." Anyway...not like this is the end of the world or anything, but those are my thoughts.
