It is true. The world is dominated by those with a large penis.

JC was discussed, actually. He was given the opportunity when he stepped down from Head Staff. In fact, JC was being considered for an admin position and had stated at the time that it wasn't something he was interested in (before the admin's were being discussed). Something like that. JC has always stood out, on staff and off of staff. Just look around the forums, he's one of few who post thoughtfully and who's topics actually bring out what I consider great conversation. That and he's been a consistent presence in Feedback and currently, is more active as a mentor than a number of current staff members. That's a whole 'nother situation though. Long story short (too late!), to not consider JC for a mentor seems absurd.

Thomas returning to Head Staff is not a big monumental thing either. I don't mind saying this in public, but the first idea was to actually have him return to Design Staff and then after a few weeks (a month really), promoted to Head Staff. So the plan has always been that he would return to Head Staff. He essentially lucked out (for lack of a better way of putting it) since James decided to step down. The plan had to shift a bit. That's all.

And despite what people may think, Thomas was a good Head Staff member. He did some goofy things, said some goofy things and made a pretty damn silly mistake. He stayed, regardless of his suspension. He never argued about it (not that he could :p) and was, in my opinion, classy about the whole thing. That doesn't mean that I am saying what he did was right, not at all. I'm saying that he 'served his time' and everyone should move on now.

And Steven, I'm hurt. :[ cB doesn't need my authorti? *pouts*

Not really :( Well, if you were the only mod for community center, I don't think there would be anything to fret over.

I'm going to be a complete and total 'Fobbit,' sort of, (nevermind the terminology) for the month of October. Surprisingly, I'll have free time. I wouldn't mind being a mod again. The only reason why I stepped down was because... y'know what, nevermind, I won't get into that.

Because of the whole trish incident(s)?

Sort of. I was in the middle of pre-deployment training and she decided to step down, along with my cousin (Toya) and JC. She thought that I would naturally comply, when in reality, I had bigger things on my plate than leaked n00dz on a forum. At the time, good sense and reason wasn't getting through to everyone and I was way too preoccupied with life to care.

/nutshell

Good times.

thomas still shouldn't be head staff.

I'm surprised Thomas hasn't replied again. -1 for him

poor modding

stupid dee bumped a forgotten issue

Actually, Spencer did.

Unless there was some action taken that I'm not seeing, this post shows the last post as two days ago, your response being the first one today.

Hence my post. Get it?

K, enough off topic chitchat from me.

you're f**king retarded

man, that was probably the best thought out promotion i've seen. let's recap.

thomas has been on, but hasn't posted since oct 3rd...that's three days.
thomas' posting span goes from sept 13th-oct 3rd...just on the first page. that's about half a month with only 25 posts.
thomas just sucks.

you'd think that if you were to promote someone, they'd become active or at least pretend to care that they hold a position, but who am i to know?

But the rest of us are just so obviously inferior to him, like duh.

who even cares.

this only matters because it's thomas and a bunch of us aren't extremely fond of him. if it was someone who was more liked by the handful of members that set the over all opinion then this wouldn't even matter.

even if he had been extremely active for a month when he got put back on people still would have said how it was a bad idea. so all these complaints are interchangeable imo.

I know!


What does you being suspended from staff have to do with your ppd? Nate was suspended from staff, and he still made an effort to post when he could.

wtf

Along the lines of the typical Nate posting, which is once a month.

Exactly. =\

Honestly, there are things that Thomas did around here that nobody appreciated because they didn't know about it. He just kind of quietly took care of these things and didn't get credit for it. Believe me, when he was on his month-long suspension, I noticed. It's not that we can't do these things without him, because we can, but it's nice having him around.

He was on head staff, he was demoted briefly for turning himself in truthfully for a minor leak that was to my knowledge resolved between those involved, and he handled it maturely without fussing over it. After a month we gave him his position back. End of story.

if thomas had not posted for a month or something that would be one thing, but if you read through his posts he did post. he didn't post as much but like he's already said most people don't post as much when they're suspended or off staff. plus, if there's a few days at a time where he was gone, it's not like it was necessarily only because he was off staff and not giving a shit. he might have been gone those days even if he was on staff, there just would have been an absent post for it.

either way like i said i only think people give a shit becuase thomas pisses in general pisses them off. not becuase they're really taht concerned with his activity. if that's so troublesome then i suggest some of you get on some other mods backs who are twice as bad...and they aren't even suspended!

Oh my particular response was to the part where it seemed like he was saying that he was suspended from staff therefore curtailing his posting. Overall, I think that nobody would care if he would have had to start from the bottom and work his way back up, but since he jumped past other people who indeed are qualified, it made the promotion? a bit silly.

yeah true i know what you mean. if i was suspended i'd still post but i post often regardless so i guess that's different anyway.

Truth. That was the basis of my pointing that particular part out.

How do you find these old ass posts lol

Dani, what does Thomas do on staff? Suggest people do things his way? I mean, Thomas is a nice guy and all, but he's not exactly a people person. Put him back on Design Staff, he can do his designing things or w/e it is he does.

For that matter...


karmakiller - demote, what good does she do aside from act insecure/stupid?
s-majere - lolwhere'sjusun
kreios - design staff
----- - -_-
anarchy - good thing he's design staff

s-majere is still on staff?



and ppd drops when you're not on staff is because YOU DON'T GET TO POST BACKSTAGE AND TALK SHIT. duh.

^.^

We can't do anything about that since Administrators can't demote each other; only Jusun can. And we all know he hasn't been around to do things, otherwise Sarah would have been demodded months ago.

And you were the one who said this was a forgotten issue.

Sarah isn't on staff anymore and rarely ever posts.

My god Dee are you that dense? It was a forgotten issue, until you're stupid ass bumped the topic. I would not have cared to remember, but when I see new posts I tend to read it if it's in one of the areas of interest on this site. When people are actively responding in a thread, there's stuff to talk about and stuff to respond to. When nothing's happening (i.e. before you bumped it), there's nothing to talk about or respond to. Can you get that through your f**king thick head?

I feel you creepin', I can see you from my shadow.
Wanna jump up in my Lamborghini Gallardo.
Maybe go to my place and just kick it, like Taebo.
And possibly bend you over.
Look back and watch me
smack that, all on the floor,
smack that, give me some more,

<---- white boi tym?

this is like the fucking irs...you can't get rid of anyone because you have to have over a year of documentation to back up your claim, so leaving them be is the best solution since it's too troublesome to even go through that.

-_- 2u2, betch!

Steven, if you can't post without personally attacking to whomver you are speaking, don't bother. Someone needs to take this up, now.

Dee brought it upon herself. She knew full well how I'd respond when she posted the way she did, so if anything her being an Admin she should be judged more harshly than myself. Also, I post plenty without attacking whomever I'm addressing, Dee is just a special case :] Go take another brokeback picture plx, the competition has started.

Betty (doiink) has decided to step down from People Staff.

BETTTYYY!!!! You will be missed. By me, anyway. =]

One less person to take up James' task :(

wha?

i thought you were always right?

Thomas, read four posts above mine. That was hard.

haha, hard...
