Official Members Lounge Options

[sadolakced acid]

I'd like to propose an official members lounge. It'd be pretty much the same as the current lounge, except it would only be open to official members (and everyone else that's not just a common member)

be a nice way to give another perk, and give people a place to bond without all the riff raff getting in and interfering.

I'm against it. Why? If all these official members knew each other so well, it would completely change the atmosphere between members and official members. This idea will isolate members to feel left out and unwelcome. Our forum boards are already filled with inside joke and private thoughts between two friends when no one understands them. This will strongly separate two people if your idea became accepted.



If you're a newcomer, you notice official members know each other so well and you don't. How would you feel? Will you be encouraged to join them when you don't know them? Would you feel different that they don't know you but they know each other? What if official members talk about things from official member forum, and you don't know what the hell they're talking about because you don't have access to private forum.


Why must official member and member not be family? ARENT WE FAMILY AS A COMMUNITY? besides, we have 84 offical members. how many are them are really active?


* i hope you're aware of the new official member rules.

Although createblog has a sizeable community, it lacks its own fun subculture. When I say subculture, I want to distinguish it from the retarded circlejerk that is CBchat. If anything, the various cliques and clubs that people formed do more to alienate newcomers.

Are you concerned about mod-member relationships then? How come I don't see you paranoid about the Backstage forum?

What a piece of shit.

Haha. Nah. My English always sucks considering the fact that i was born here. In case if you didnt notice, i lacked verbs tenses, comma, and grammar. Maybe, you just dont see me post that often.

Which side is at disadvantage?

I do agree that the cb lacks fun subculture. I feel that official members serve an important role as a family. Official members should be widely active in forums (at least a fair amount of people), make an impact and history, encourage members to join by promoting positive attitude, expanding populations, being considerate rather than turning newcomer away with profanity, and learn to work well in any environment. Again, we're family and there are reasons why official member status was designed to make this site better for everyone, not to alienate others. I'm not implying that we should completely stop having fun to be in a strict working mode. Honestly, I really do hope a better solution to increase member interactivity. The idea of private forum sounds very unfortunate for the newcomers, if a private forum was created, but at least we already have communication technology such as cbchat, telephone, sub domains, myspace, or whatever social networking activity. do you think it's worth a risk to add another section?



I don't know exactly why I'm not paranoid about the backstage forum. It was micron's idea in the first place. I expect him to know what he is doing so let him do whatever he wants. also, i expect him to temporarily shut guest viewing to increase more interested members & sign ups, after he's done with the tracker. i know for a fact that many people are coming here for the tracker. Let's hope this method will work, if all old or active members are willing to be more dedicated.
