Mod

DarthButcher · 08-04-2004, 04:14 PM

Jay, you won't listen to me, so I hope another admin will. I have 5 people backing me up. We agree that the Metroid forum needs a new mod. He never posts here. He posts probably 1-2 a month. HE posted about a week ago. BEfore that 6-22 here. BEfore that 5-11. He needs to go. Even if he does he'll still have the BAttlefield to mod which he is a frequent poster at. Thsi forum should have a new, better, more active mod!

Where is the idiot running to? Why to Nintendo Mania of course. Just follow him for the time of your life.

**Loot** · 08-04-2004, 04:27 PM

Will I be fired if I say I back him up?

Seriously, Storm Eagle, if you're reading and defend, at least try to post more here so this forum won't die.

Visit Chao Adventures in the Comix Thread! Go and read them, now!

Yeah, if I get Yasa's spot this guy gets the other guy's spot.

Uhhh what exactly would you have him do more of.....its not like this forum gets the most activity anyways. I mean just look at the topics how many of them break 21 replies ?? and of those how many of them are from the same three members posting in the topic. I would think a mod change would trully be necessary if the forum picked up in traffic and LTS failed to be more active as a result. But for the level of activity this forum recieves I think LTS is doing a fine job.

There's no spam, or inappropriate topics and there is nothing really that would require a new mod. Besides the fact that you would personally like to see the moderator post more often...??

However thats just my opinion

***The Doctor*** · 08-04-2004, 04:47 PM

I agree with DB, isn't a Mod surpose to premote growth and activity to his/her board.

Yes it's great that there is no sapm, but.....yeah.

DarthButcher · 08-04-2004, 04:48 PM

^^Same thing applies to the Kirby forum. And what? THEY GET 2 MODS!

Darth Butcher, I feel you should stop forcing decisions and opinions down our throats. Perhaps you should wait for the admins to make their decision.

I'm not forcing opionions down anybody's throats. Ii am making suggestions that people don't neccesarily have to agree with. Besides, this topic was your idea. I was going to wait, but you said maybe make a topic in the Metroid Forum!

Joker · 08-04-2004, 05:35 PM

I don't think he's forcing his opinion on anyone, he should be allowed to voice his opinions on the matter, I just hope he doesn't expect swift military action from any of the admins. I mean it took a majority vote to get LTS the position....in that same regards it should take a majority vote to take him out.

DarthButcher · 08-04-2004, 05:37 PM

Thanks Joker.

LtS is doing a fine job. Just because he's not that active here doesn't make him a bad mod.

And No offence DB, but if you were mod, You would just make hotels. ¬_¬

I watch both the BF and this forum to make sure things are still in order. I only post when I feel I have something worth contributing. That goes for all over VGF. There isn't exactly much growth to promote for a series like Metroid in which installments have been traditionally few and far in between. Not to mention the fact that Nintendo has been tight lipped (as always) about the new games for the most part. Only dropping us new things once and awhile like during E3. Frankly it seems to me that all of which has been posted in the Metroid forum is all that can be thought up to be said. I've posted in the past and gotten a maximum of what seems to be about 5 or so posts. What makes you think anyone else can do better? Like Kirby, (and like it or not) Metroid is a small series so there will be many dry spells and will have very little to talk about after awhile. It's hard to promote growth when about five people stick around to talk. And those five don't exactly talk much anyway. I'll respond if I sense I can make some sort of good response. But not really much that has been said has grabbed me and demanded I make a response.

There's only so many times you can talk about Ridley or Kraid or the origins of Samus or how her morph ball must work with the same people before it gets stale. It's the nature of a small series. And I've no idea why the Kirby forum has two mods, and that's not my concern.

Frankly, if things are kept under control I don't see a problem here. I highly doubt anyone can inject enough sustance (which so little to work with) into the topic of Metroid to as allow it to rival, say, Mario or Pokemon in terms of massive attendance.

Small series equals small forum. Simple as that.

I appreciate all the effort you've put into the forum to try and liven things up but there's only so much something like a 'never ending cheat' can do. (Personally I don't like a topic like the one I mentioned but if other people wanna do that sorta thing they can be my guest.)

I'm not quite the orator that Joker is, but I've done my best.

Not true. I would try to make the forum as busy and active as possible. Just because I make 1 hotel doesn't mean that is all I'd do.
I AM SPEAKING HYPOTHETICALLY!

So you're trying to oust me in hopes that you can attain modship?

Not neccesarily. I was speaking hypothetically.

"Not Necessarily," you say? So you do want to have a chance at the spot, hm? I see. (Love how you went back to add the hypothetically. Suppose you realized how that sounded, eh?) If Jay felt it wasn't an issue, I don't see why it should be dragged back up. So far I've yet this support of yours and reason to give in to your demand.

I couldn't have put it better myself

On another note, this discussion is complete and not another word is to be said on the matter. I will close any further attempts and this nonsense. If I am wrong, let the admin strike me down. Now get back to talking (or barely-talking for that matter...) as normal.
