If Jusun Comes Back Options

[Simba]

When If Jusun comes back, should we throw a party or a riot?

Would you be so joyous of his return that you'd drink all night or are y'all so pissed at him that you'd only continue to beat him down once he comes back?

[karmakiller]

Well, apparently he will be so busy with the things he needs to do that he won't notice either.

[Simba]

Dayum, the cold truth.

[superstitious]

Depends on how well I do in Tetris. I can get impressively belligerent.

[babecakes]

jusun left? damn, juna update me.

[libertie]

He will be back, even if it's only briefly.

Arjuna's referring to Jusun's inactivity. He didn't actually leave. xD

[mipadi]

I like Jusun. I'd throw a party in his honor.

He's a bit busy, but I can relate.

[Simba]

He's a bit busy, but I can relate.

I would have been able too, if I made as much money.

[The-March-Hare]

I'd be more than happy to see the to-do list go away. Otherwise, honest indifference.

[demolished]

I have nothing against him.

createblog isn't Jusun's life. not to mentioned, he's quite old and busy with his own things.

jusun leave things to the moderators to take care of it. There are reasons he trusted moderators otherwise he could had just shut down createblog or sell it to someone. He doesn't have to keep the site running ,if people continue to bitch at him or if he ends up dealing with unwelcoming anal members.

Maybe it's just sad to know the creator of createblog isn’t active which leads people to become a little rebellious?

[Simba]

He doesn’t have to keep the site running if people continue to bitch at him.

Thing is, cB makes him a nice amount of money, so I doubt he'd just shut it down from people complaining.

I'll be honest here, the admins are underprivileged. In order for cB to continue to grow and expand the admins would need way more control over cB than they do right now. And perhaps he should do just that, let somebody else who's more dedicated own and control cB.

The mods go through so much and don't get a dime. Except maybe chocolate during Christmas, but c'mon.

Just to address this, like I said, he could pass on the torch to somebody else or give the admins more control.



Oh, and for the record, I don't really have anything against Jusun, I just think he needs to let cB go and pass on the torch.

[Amaranthus]

I'd probably only say a quick hello.

[demolished]

How much money does he makes? And how much does it cost to run this site?

I dont know if jusun would extend more powers to the moderator especially the incident of suz? We don't know who can be the next suz. I don't know if he's willing to risk for that entire mess again. . Maybe I just don't know anything about moderator's responsibilities to say these kinds of things. Not everyone who acts friendly online is actually friendly. Oh well.

Yeah, he could give the website to someone if he wants to.

What do you mean by "more" control? control over what?

I dont think you're against him at all. i didnt think that way.

[Simba]

How much money does he makes? And how much does it cost to run this site?

I honestly don't know the specifics, but from what I hear, he's making a nice profit. (I heard that he bought a new car or something with money he made off cB, but even if that were true, I would be foolish to assume he used 100% cB money.)

Do you think jusun would extend more powers to the moderator especially the incident of suz? We don't know who can be the next suz. I don't know if he's willing to risk for that entire mess again. . Maybe I just don't know anything about moderator's responsible to say these kinds of things. Not everyone who seems to be friendly online means friendly in the real world too. Oh well.

What do you mean by "more" control? control over what?

Funny you mention the Suz incident, 'cause I think mods actually were given less powers afterwords. Don't quote me on that though.

A lot of people, even the current admins and moderators have mentioned that they should be given more control over the website in order to be able to improve it. For example (one that I'd hate to bring up), was when the new cB Styles were being made, I think Trish was given extra access to the HTML codes. And hey, we finally got that nighttime style (and more) that people been waiting for for 2 years or somethin'. Aye, don't quote me on that either though.

Anyway, if the admins were able to do the things that we always have to wait for Jusun to do, then we could probably be in better shape.

Once you give admins more power, you'd just have to be more careful with who you promote then after. And an easy way to have more reliable admins would be to put them on a payroll. lol, I sho would take the task of being an admin more seriously if I was getting paid for all the trouble.

[demolished]

i see. How often does he make contact with you guys?

I don't recall seeing many moderators suggesting more powers though? oh well then.

payroll? I agreed on that too.

[Simba]

i see. How often does he make contact with you guys?

The admins try to contact Jusun harder than I do, but I mean. There's AIM and e-mail and all. And PM. I dunno if anyone got his phone number and stuff though.

Meh, look around this thread: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=206217

I'm pretty sure I saw Rebs or somebody mentioning it. If not in that thread, I'm quite sure it's been said before elsewhere.

[libertie]

That was like two years ago. xD

Jusun is the only root admin, so the current admins don't even have full access to the forum's admin control panel. That much aside, he doesn't HAVE to be extremely active like the rest of us are expected to be. He doesn't even have to post. If he just checks the bugs/issues/requests topic in Feedback on a somewhat regular basis, we'll be fine. THAT's the problem. When we need something done, he can't be contacted. I understand completely if he has other priorities and doesn't come around often - but we're here and we're sort of held up because we can't do hardly anything without him.

[demolished]

oh crap ... wow.

when did "Staff Alumni" came out?

[Simba]

Yeah sure, but if Jusun (or the "root admin") could go above and beyond and be more active and involved in the site and have the time to add features and perks like the cB arcade and cB wiki and fix all the bugs in a short amount of time, that would help cB right now.

[libertie]

SWA - Today.

Oh, certainly. I agree, Arjuna. It'd be fantastic if he was here as much as he used to be. But I'd be willing at this point to settle for getting to talk to him once a week on a regular basis and just know when things are going to be fixed.

[moninja]

you should learn how to read around. http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=206642

then i assume it's pretty hard to get our hands on him?

Haha. i dont see it. it's okay.
Anyways, does micron knows all of this moderator's problems/suggestions/solutions? He should.

oh, thank you

[Simba]

lol, Dani just said so in this thread so whatever

Anyways, does micron knows all of this moderator's problems/suggestions/solutions? He should.

Apparently there's a nice long to-do list for him.

Nail on the head.

Trust me, it's as frustrating for us as it is for everyone else. There is only so much we can do and so many changes we can make. But a lot of people expect us to have complete power of the forums.

[KryMeARiver]

I like Jusun. I'd throw a party in his honor.

Too bad he wouldn't show up.

MICRON WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE IN THE ROCK, HUH? Too busy hanging out with the New England elite, huh?

[mipadi]

Too bad he wouldn't show up.

Meh. I'm used to people not coming to my parties.

I'd come so I can beat you at Mario Kart 64 and get your account info.

[KryMeARiver]

At the very least, we'd expect you to have control of the powers you DO have, as well as your bowel movements.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Control of bowel movements are generally expected in people under the age of 65 and over the age of 4.

[superstitious]

lol, this was supposed to be a lighthearted topic, now y'all mods moping around like you're depressed.

Not depressed, just menstrual. And sick. And in the southern humidity. I'm whiney today. lol

I'd offer Jusun a cup of coffee, maybe a scone if he'd like. I like scones.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

The humidity in Nashville is nothing compared to Biloxi, MS.

Your humidity is a tiny 71%. Here it's 82%.

I think some of my neighbors are actually in a liquid form.

Haha. Funny you should say that. I just told my mother that I felt like my face was going to melt off.

i honestly have to say that i'd find that hard to believe. trish used to bargain with jusun to be able to buy in on half the site because jusun was losing so much money and she wanted to help with the expenses.

[Simba]

Oh I see.



lol cause I remember Tung trying to buy cB off of Jusun or something, and Tung offered like $2000 up front and Jusun refused 'cause cB worth was worth a much more commas than that.

[sixfive]

If Jusun comes back he'll be so out of touch with reality and be the moral majority and decide that cursing or anything negatively motivated will be bad for the site and ban you. He'll never come back though, he's too busy reading math textbooks.

[demolished]

Oh I see.

why would a popular GOOD site, createblog cost $2000? what was he thinking unless he was joking?

could you elaborate more about that?
what do you mean to help with expenses? what expenses?
also, what do you mean jusun was losing so much money?

[Amaranthus]

How can you determine the wealth of this site?

[KryMeARiver]

According to this site, CB is worth just under $1.5 Million.

Which is a load of bollocks.

[demolished]

he estimated value of a single link on www.createblog.com is: $491 /month

If you were to sell 8 links on www.createblog.com, you could generate $3928/month in revenue for your website.

he estimated value of http://www.createblog.com is: $1,434,880

This value is calculated based on several factors shown above, including: Links, Traffic (Alexa), age of the domain, site category, domain keyword popularity, and overall occurrences of the domain name on the web.

I just have to laugh more.

[Simba]

lol, if that was real, then the moderators are slaves

[demolished]

Slaves? You volunteered your time to be promoted.



------
if it was true, would it be nice that jusun would give you guys ACTUAL online jobs? I think it'll look nice on your resume and college application.

The thing is... we don’t know the reliability and the credibility of the website.

[fukitol]

f**k THEM THEY DONT DErSERVE SHIT

[*paperplane*]

Me too, actually.

I mean, I don't throw parties. But if I did, no one would come.

I think last night I invited several people to a party I'm not actually having..

[Amaranthus]

ROFL I say we all receive something since we all contribute to it's wealth.

[demolished]

^haha.
... no. LOL.

[Gryffindor-Girl]

When If Jusun comes back, should we throw a party or a riot?

Well I would because with out him Createblog would exist in the first place.

[rnicron]

could you elaborate more about that?
what do you mean to help with expenses? what expenses?
also, what do you mean jusun was losing so much money?

servers, server space, bandwidth...the like.

kryo, i'm sure someone stupid would be willing to pay that, actually.
