I remember that! I remember your vexel/vector contest too.

Congrats to the new design staff & it's glad to see that I recognise most of the names that are on staff. : )

I am pleased to announce that Michael (mipadi) has accepted a new position "Tech Support."

The role, for lack of a better word is still somewhat a work in progress. What I sort of invision is Michael helping out with the more the more tech side of the forums (and admin cp). I'm also hoping that once Jusun returns, he will have similar trust in Michael (since he has so much experience) as he had in Trish and perhaps the two can work together to get some of the background things that typical administrators cannot work on.

Also, because this is an area he is gifted (and educated) in, he could possibly see things that administrators might have overlooked.

It's all for making cB the best we can make it with the resources we have, and I believe that Michael is one that can really help out eventually.

What tech support isn't, is a typical moderator. He will not be responsible for closing/opening threads, warning members, that sort of thing.

As I said in a PM, Congrats Michael. I'm glad to see you back, even if you aren't a regular mod. I believe you are the better person for this type of position and I hope things go well, if you need any help feel free to ask.

Yay Michael!

Congrats, Michael!

Sounds like an earlier proposed idea that was shot down!

Congrats, Michael! :]

That's exactly what I thought, but I forgot who said it.

wasn't it rico?

Josh

I don't think I was around at that point because obviously this is something I wanted.

Michael himself has even suggested something along these lines in the past, WAY back when... I think it's a good idea that's been a long time coming.

But excited about this!

congrats mipadi for joining the dark side.

damn, I guess this is gonna get hard.

Heh.

This is something I wanted done a long time ago, but when I brought up the idea, you f****ts just ignored it.

Guess what though. I'm not a bug in the software. You're not going to fix the problem by having mipadi write scripts to delete my spam. You're treating the symptoms but not finding the cure.

You're not going to be able to ignore this. Take responsibility for your mistakes instead of hiding.

See you later, going to make another account.

Tungster is now known as pessimist

The tech support idea that was shot down before was for Josh to be somehow added to staff. This is nothing personal against him, but honestly if we're going to give someone admin rights I would much prefer that it was someone we could trust and not someone who had the history he did with randomly insulting people.

Also, the reason it was brought up was so he could answer CB tracker questions, which I pointed out that I and others were perfectly capable of doing. Then was the debate over who was more qualified (Josh or me), how my qualifications were more hardware-oriented which is crazy (and not true), and all of this was pointless because all I was trying to say was that the position wasn't necessary.

But those are technicalities, the main thing that makes this different is that Michael has a great history with CB, has consistently been responsible, and has always been extremely helpful despite not always having a lot of time around here. In my opinion he's perfect for the position.

I have a great history with cB, and am tech-savy. Give me that position, too, imo.

No arguing with that.

lol You know, pretty soon everyone will have an "admin" type status because it's like some kind of impossibility to get demoted from administrator these days.

Should give to me imo, I was on staff, I know what I'm doing.

:D

Plus you're from Texas. Which I'm sure is relevant somehow. Hmm. Yeah. heh

James (The-March-Hare) has stepped down from Head Staff and will be staying on as a mentor. Additionally, Thomas (kreios) is rejoining us as Head Staff.

lol

arjuna (ArjunaCapulong) has voluntarily stepped down.

Emphasis on the underline, LOL.

Will miss you, Juna. D:

Ha ha, ay, I'm still here. I don't want none of that we'll miss you ish, 'cause I'll still be around.

Just less... *cough*

Do you want me to post here what you said backstage?

Actually, naw, that's alright.

wtf I don't remember quoting "how unfortunate." Is some f****t editing my posts?

How is it possible, that Thomas can jump back up to head staff after being suspended?

who supported thomas in becoming head staff?

WAIT....When did this happen?

it's okay staff is laughable at best nowadays, not like anyone takes them too seriously aside from people new to the site.

Well shouldn't you have to work your way back up the staff ladder like anybody else does? If that was the case, they could have promoted a People Staffer or Design Staff to Head Staff.

there isn't a people/design staffer to be promoted to head staff.

^ Wait, what do you mean?

that there isn't a great candidate at this time

Oh. Well that makes more sense than what I was originally thinking.

So a great candidate is one who got suspended?

I'm with JC. I don't think anyone in People Staff right now deserves the title of Head Staff, and I think Thomas should be able to get his original title back.

no i don't necessarily think so 100%.

but, no i don't really have much objection that thomas was put back on the position he earned the first time. had the situation been different...i probably would feel different. to me though it's a situation where he stepped up to his mistake, took his punishment and came back. that's just how i feel about it

I would have been fine with a mentor as well. Agreed, but I just feel like maybe you should have to earn your position that you get suspended from.

a mentor for what?

To get promoted. Were you discussed as a possibility?

oh i thought you meant you thought thomas should be put back on as a mentor, i was like huh


i wasn't discussed, but i don't really think i should be.

I mean I think you would be a good fit seeing as how you are already active as is. I mean I don't have a problem with it per se, but I just was puzzled by it.

La la la la la la
:D
I'm in a good mood, I'm listening to canon rock :D

So wait wait wait, HAMMER TIME! No but seriously, this is serious shit guys. So let me make sure I have my story straight, ThomasCunningham gave tung backstage info about a month ago, yes? HS suspension yes? No one really likes Thomas as a mod yes? Not that he's a bad person, no. Just bad at staff, yes. If anyone's a good candidate for Head Staff, I would like to add in that it would in fact be none other than yours truly. You see, I've been around the block , ya "dig"? Anyway, as I've said in the past, cb doesn't need staff. Is there really that big of an issue that y'all need to give AUTHORITAY to someone else? Isn't y'alls only issue dealing with the queue? I mean, the CC isn't exactly running rampart, all that those faggots ever do in there is warn me for not thumbing an image or tell me to be nice or something stupid like that.

Yup.

In conclusion. Thomas shouldn't be head staff. I have a big penis. Mods are dumb.

PIXNAO.

I never expected Yan lin to say something like that LOL. And with that emoticon.

But I second that. Don't let Tung see or he'll get jealous, as evidenced by this topic: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...=211363&hl=
